L'Aura V

L'Aura V is what happens when a builder in Viareggio stops trying to prove anything. She is 52 metres of teak, linen and Italian silence — a sail-assisted ketch that treats the wind as a first suggestion and the engine as a footnote.

Her interiors were drawn to be lived in barefoot: a library that opens onto the aft deck, a galley that a serious cook would recognise, and a master cabin whose only decoration is the horizon.
