Raja Laut: Custom Built Luxury Sailing Schooner has been reduced in price form 1.3m Euros to 1.16 the equivalent to USD$1.66m
Raja Laut is a custom-built schooner designed for private charters and luxury expeditions in tropical waters. Partly inspired by Rajah Brookes schooner - The Royalist, a 19th Century
gentleman's yacht, Raja Laut is a reproduction of the traditional western schooner.
With her classic lines and fine design Raja Laut the Custom Built Luxury Sailing Schooner would be equally at home amongst the Baltic traders of northern Europe or the schooners of Canada/United States, and follows in the wake of similar vessels that undertook journeys of exploration to Asia in past centuries.
The schooner Raja Laut hull shape is typical of traditional wooden schooners from Europe/America but the midsection lines are actually based on those from a yacht called -The Spray, built by Joshua Slocum, the first man to sail around the world single handed. The Sprays hull design is renowned for its stability.
Raja Laut gaff rig design is typical of the South Seas schooners of the pacific, such as the schooner - Pato, which was also built by Joshua Slocum and whose hull was designed along the lines of an early Americas Cup winning schooner.
Behind the traditional style, however, Raja Laut Custom Built Luxury Sailing Schooner is a thoroughly modern and practical sailing yacht, easily handled by a crew of 4, equipped with a 300hp engine, watermaker, and the latest in navigation & satellite technology. Furthermore, with her air-conditioned cabins, multimedia and SCUBA-diving facilities, Raja Laut has all one needs for the perfect escape at sea.
Since 2006 Raja Laut Custom Built Luxury Sailing Schooner has been, and continues to be, one of Asia?s most successful luxury charter yachts. This is a testimony to her practical design well-suited to operating in stunning but remote destinations - in fact Raja Laut is ideal for anyone who's ever dreamed of owning a classic boat but doesn't want the headaches associated with maintaining an antique.
Duplicating this Custom Built Luxury Sailing Schooner in Europe/USA today would cost in excess of US$3 million and considering the relative exclusivity she offers, the exceptional workmanship and her spirit, the Raja Laut would/could keep an owner hooked for a lifetime
