Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Alibi 54 is a performance-oriented catamaran designed by Loc Goepfert and built by Alibi Catamarans in Thailand, with production records indicating a start year of 2013. While the exact total hull count is unspecified in the source data, the vessel is characterized by its fractional sloop rig with a rotating spar and a displacement of 22928.0 lb.

Best for:
This boat suits active cruisers and racers who prioritize speed and modern amenities, as evidenced by the high prevalence of bow thruster additions (43 mentions) and extensive electronics upgrades like Nexus (82 mentions) and B&G (49 mentions).
Bluewater capability:
With a low capsize ratio of 3.87 and a comfort ratio of 7.87, the Alibi 54 demonstrates strong offshore stability, a capability further supported by the widespread owner adoption of watermakers (71 mentions) and solar panels (92 mentions) for self-sufficiency.
Comparables:
Comparable to other high-performance catamarans from the early 2010s such as the Lagoon 42 or Fountaine-Pajot Elba 45, the Alibi 54 distinguishes itself through its specific Loc Goepert design and rotating mast rigging, appealing to those seeking a blend of racing pedigree and liveaboard comfort.
