Impala Design 1056


This gorgeous yacht was constructed by Abeking & Rasmussen of Germany for an American yachtsman. She was launched in 1954. Its interesting to note in the image above just how you achieve an aft cabin but place the companionway into the main salon ahead of it: you simply walk on deck right by the aft cabin.

Here is a construction sequence from the laying of her keel to being put on a ship to America.


Here are the plans.


And an early article from Yachting magazine.


I pinched this image out of an article in Blue Water Sailing magazine, Apr-06, about sailing in Norway. Its the only sailing shot I could find.
