All About U 2

483 gross tons is a rare figure to carry under sail: All About U 2 is that rarity, a sailing yacht whose volume looks more like a motor yacht's. Ginton Naval Architecture drew both the naval architecture and the exterior design, and Ada Yachts built her in 2019.

Build and provenance

Ada Yachts built her as a steel-hulled monohull with an aluminium superstructure, choices that keep weight down where it matters for a sailing yacht while still allowing the volume her tonnage promises. She measures fifty metres, 164 feet overall, with a beam of 10.44 metres, 34 feet, wide enough to give her interior the open-plan saloon that is uncommon for a sailing yacht of any size. Ginton Naval Architecture handled both the naval architecture and the exterior design.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep across six cabins, among them a full-beam owner's suite and five further guest cabins, all reached from a saloon built around natural light rather than the tighter arrangement more common on a sailing yacht. A crew of nine runs her, enough for a boat of this scale without crowding the guest spaces.

Performance and engineering

She cruises at eleven knots under power and can reach fifteen, figures that matter less for a sailing yacht than her rig and hull form, but they confirm she is built to keep moving between anchorages rather than sit at one for a season.

Where she lies and how to see her

All About U 2 lies in Bodrum, Turkey. We set up viewings in person and are there for them, and once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before anything is final. She also charters through Boatcrowd across Turkey and Greece, so a week aboard before you buy is entirely possible.
