2005 Ocean Alexander 52' _{(15.85 m)} 52 Sedan

Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan, Apaiser, is a 52-foot sedan-style cruiser with a flybridge and features a European-style exterior, clean lines, and a versatile layout including a large cockpit and a Eurostyle reverse transom with a hydraulic swim platform. She exudes a Classic European-style exterior with clean lines and a sculptural flybridge canopy. 

Here’s what PMY in New Zealand said about the construction of the model at the time: “Ocean Alexander put a lot of faith and stake their reputation on the design and engineering that goes into each of their boats, and when you get behind the linings, into the back of cupboards or fitments, and under the floors into the storage areas and the engine room, that all of this reinforced. The unseen areas are treated as for the rest of the boat and the attention to detail and the quality of the workmanship in these out of the ways places is top class.

The design engineers assess each section of the hull and superstructure in accordance with the stresses and loadings that are likely to be imposed, and decide on the best construction technique that is likely to address those loadings, always bearing in mind the weight factor. Hence there is a mix of build methods on various sections of the boat.

The hull is solid FRP layup with unidirectional carbon fibre as reinforcement in critical areas. There is no cored laminates, nor any other exotic materials in the major stress areas of the hull. The Ocean Alexander engineers sticking by the tried and proven solid FRP construction to achieve the strength they require without the risk of delamination, water penetration, or other stress failures.”
