Privilege 585 catamaran.

The Privilege 585 offers a standard of living afloat, which rivals many an opulent apartment ashore. With an expansive bridge deck and roomy cabins, the Privilege 585 makes an ideal charter yacht, with some currently in charter around the world. Though not only suited to that purpose, this catamaran is equally at home as a bluewater, liveaboard cruiser. Able to complete a circumnavigation with ease, while cruising in complete luxury.

DESIGN – INTERIOR & EXTERIOR

Since the creation of the boatyard in 1985, Privilege 585 builder Alliaura Marine was fundamental among the leaders in the high-end multihulls market. This builder is well known for building catamarans for cruising, where security and comfort matters as much as their sailing ability. With the help of renowned naval architect Marc Lombard, the Privilege series succeeded in establishing a bespoke family of yachts that meet the highest possible expectation. An innovative designer combined with outstanding craftsmanship resulted in the creation of this strong, comfortable, and powerful catamaran.

With only 24 of Privilege 585s produced from 2002 through to 2006, it holds a respected position in the catamaran market. As expected, all equipment aboard these luxury catamarans is of high quality, from the nav station to the chefs galley. The vast interior finished in beech timber provides a refreshingly light and welcoming space.

The large volume allows for an extensive inventory and would suit someone wishing to step aboard and go cruising. And with options from watermakers to huge cold storage, comprehensive navigation systems to a dishwasher, nothing more is required. On the deck, electric winches take care of all sailing loads, making her a breeze to handle. While down below, twin well-sized main engines and gensets along with solar provide all the speed and power you will need.

The helm on the port side is situated up high for excellent visibility while underway. An oversized double pilot chair lets you enjoy the sailing experience with others. The location of the helm is well thought out, allowing for direct communication with those on deck for safety. But also for convenience, being in close contact with others who are relaxing in the cockpit area and saloon.

The cockpit is spacious with plenty of room to move about while incorporating a Teak cockpit table on stainless steel supports, able to seat six. And with three comfortably cushioned large benches, there is ample space for lounging about. 

Very large steps on the sugar scoops make for easy access and swim ladders allowing easy entry into and from the water. There is ample space on the large bottom transom platform to bring the catch of the day aboard or to store the watersports equipment in between sessions. Rinsing off can be done with the two deck showers, hot and cold, after a long day in the water.

With storage lockers underfloor, a rack for scuba-diving cylinders is situated in the aft locker and adequate space to store a diving compressor securely. Plenty of storage is available for the dive gear, kitesurfing and stand up paddleboards in this uncluttered and ample space.

Forward, there is a vast deck space with large sunbathing areas, two trampolines with pulpits, and four teak seats suitable for enjoying sundowners. The bimini is quite large, adequately providing protection, and also providing space for solar panels.

Through the oversized aluminum sliding door, three steps lead down into the spacious saloon. Large windows give exceptional panoramic views both for peace of mind and the simple pleasures of viewing your picturesque surroundings. The large saloon layout comprised of two leather sofas and a bar. A more than adequate navigation station is located behind the helm bulkhead on the port side, with access to electrical panels and instrumentation.

The round table with generously cushioned seats would make inside dining a very comfortable experience. An additional lounging area in L-shape with footrests and coffee table allows ample space for all guests. Suitable storage space is provided under the seats and behind the lounge, with further storage available in lockers below the floor. A bar is conveniently located up top in the bridge deck, making this area ideal for movie nights after sundowners. 

The well-appointed galley is located down on the starboard side. With room for all the luxuries, you would expect in a yacht of this caliber, such as two working benchtops, a double stainless steel sink, mixed electric and steam oven, dishwasher, and microwave. As a walk through the galley, it’s well ventilated, enjoying lots of light, both through light fixtures and natural light through multiple hatches. The placement of the large hatch above the double sink allows for ample fresh air while preparing your freshly caught dinner. 

ACCOMMODATIONS

The Privilege 585 is available in both charter or owners versions, consisting of four double cabins and three single crew quarters or a five double cabin and one single layout. Sleeping 8 in total comfort, plus up to three crew, makes this catamaran ideal for larger families or groups of friends.

All cabins are well-lit and bright, finished in light Beech wood adding to the luxurious appeal. The king-size double cabins each have private heads for maximum comfort and privacy. Large, comfortable seats in these berths make an ideal place to sit and read while taking a break from the adventure topside. 

All cabins are well ventilated and enjoy lots of light, both through light fixtures and natural light through multiple hatches, placed to capture fresh ocean breezes. Ample storage is provided in the cabins along with excellent counter space that makes life very comfortable for extended trips and living aboard.

PRIVILÈGE 585

The French multihulls fleet has a new flagship. With Outremer 64’, Marquises, Catana 581, Lagoon 570 and Yapluka 60, the flotilla was more than exceptional. But now, the brand new Privilège will be wreaking havoc in this nomenklatura: here is EASY CRUISE, paradox or reality?

The Privilège 585 is a fine catamaran, but at that price, she is reserved for the wealthiest sailors…

The Alliaura Group took over the activities and premises of Jeantot Marine in Les Sables d’Olonne, also operating Kirié and J.Composites. In other words, this new ‘heavyweight’ in the nautical industry of Vendée, now builds Privilège multihulls! Despite the manager’s renown at the time, the first Privilège 47 and 48 dsigned by Guy Ribadeau Dumas suffered from a rather confused image in public opinion probably linked to their essentially professional use (rental or chartering) made of these boats. Yet, despite a few structural problems due to lack of experience in some 47, the intensive use of these catamarans, precursors in large craft, seems to have met with general satisfaction. Today, another marketing and industrial strategy prevails. To paraphrase a famous slogan: a shipyard’s flexibility, a group’s strength: in concrete terms, this is materialized in a series of attitudes around which is organized the Alliaura team’s new challenge and that of their favorite designer Marc Lombard. Pooling resources, rationalizing procedures, fine quality construction and finishing are particularly perceptible. The range comprises five models: 37’, 435, 465, 585 and 65’.

Privilege 585

Privilege 585 is a 55 ′ 8 ″ / 17 m catamaran sailboat designed by Marc Lombard and built by Privilege Catamarans between 2002 and 2005.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

PRIVILEGE 585 "OCEAN MED" (2004)

This 5 double cabins Privilege 585 is back on the market ; only a few units have been built in this configuration. The salon and the lounge area will welcome you in a warm, light and refined atmosphere, so famous at Privilege : the bar and the navigation station are just at the main entrance, close to the cockpit.

Built in 2004, almost everything has been replaced, refitted, upgraded or added with her previous owners who have massively invested in 2014 and 2015 in new electronics, water systems, house appliances, tender, new hardtop, generator, etc etc !  The inventory is impressive and the current owner has performed a last big refit in 2017 and 2020 (new engines and propellers, new rudders, teak, davits ...)

Ocean Med offers all the equipment and toys you may expect on a catamaran of this size ; for a family tour around the world or dedicated to a refined charter program, she will definitively satisfy her future owners.

Privilege Catamarans remain part of the Best Value on the market today in term of quality of build, reliability in time and resale value ... Over the past 5 years, she spent her time sailing in the Med.

And do not worry about her age ; she is certainly more reliable and handled as many other recent models from other brands ... She is simply "vintage" !

Vladivostok International Airport

Primorsky (Krai)

The region’s capital is Vladivostok and differs from other Russian cities, not only in its Pacific location, but also in its spicy combination of European and Asian, both in its appearance and in the habits of its inhabitants.

It’s not particularly cute to go around calling the city “the Russian San Francisco” - just cheesy. The only similarities between the two are the hills and the beautiful bridges. The city actually has a much closer relative - Istanbul. 

Calling Vladivostok ‘Russian San Francisco’ is bad form, both in relation to San Fran and to Vladik itself. The only similarities are the hills and beautiful bridges. The city has a closer “relative” - Istanbul, Turkey.

When a Russian military detachment was looking for a stronghold on the Sea of ​​Japan and finally found a convenient bay, its outlines and relief reminded them of Constantinople (now Istanbul), well known to them. By analogy, the bay was called the ‘Golden Horn’ and the strait was called the ‘Eastern Bosphorus’.
