Solis Invictis
Easy and safe in all circumstances, this Dufour Atoll 4 is designed for sailing enthusiasts
who are seeking - above all - escape and serenity. With or without crew, the Atoll 4 is always
ready to welcome friends. More than on any other boat the living space, both day and night,
has been given priority. Terrace on the sea, deck saloon, navigation station, galley, cockpit,
and steering station are all on one level allowing everyone to move around with ease, and
enjoy 360-degree visibility while participating directly in onboard activities.
In order to offer the joys of sailing to disabled guests, we made the following adjustments to
this boat:
We created "catwalk" sized 2.5m long and 90cm wide, with 10cm heightened borders (in
order to avoid any accidents while a wheelchair is on its way in or out). There is a rail on
one side that supports walking persons.
This catwalk can also be used for another purpose: it can help the guest to slide into the
sea, or, reversely, to get back into the yacht. Someone who is not strong enough, or is
disabled, will be able to sit on the half-sank board, enjoy the sea, and then be lifted back
on the yacht together with the board.
4-point safety belts are installed on the lounge and keep the passengers stable and safe from
any unwanted forward or left-right movements of the boat in case of bad weather. On the
couches of the lounge, our guests are also protected from the cold/heat spraying/wind while
enjoying a panoramic view of the sea and participating in all activities with their friends.
The roof can slide open and allow sunbathing from the same position. The tables in the lounge
can host 8 persons, and a board fits between them for easy access by wheelchair users.
There are handlebars surrounding the yachts and all its areas that allow people with
instability in walking to make their way with safety without a risk of stumbling.
Each boat carries two aisle-chairs to allow easy access to the cabins and the restroom-where
normal wheelchairs do not fit, and a special lift to help people with more serious
disabilities transfer from their own chairs to the aisle ones.
The restrooms of the yachts have special handlebars installed to fit all the needs of guests.
Both the restrooms and the cabins can be also accessed with a lift that helps people with a
more grand disability.
The yachts have also immense storing capacities, and can house all the luggage and equipment
of our passengers.
There is also a special barbeque with lava stones, and BBQ nights can be arranged with the
captains who also entertain our guests with music (guitar/accordion). The entertainment of our
guests is also enhanced with the on-board television and DVD player.
