Boat rental in Preveza · Aloa — 28 (2013)
Description of Elena's sailboat
Sailboat Aloa 28 8.6m
The Aloa 28 is the long awaited successor to the Aloa 27. A clever concept and extreme seaworthiness in an affordable 28 footer. The Aloa 28 is more than a simple update of the Aloa 27+ The bow has been redesigned and is now slimmer and straighter. This allows you to cut through the waves and reduces plunging because of the improved buoyancy up front. The mast is taller and has been fractionally rigged. This improves the trim options and allows one to mount the gooseneck higher. More headroom in the cockpit, even in case of sudden manoeuvres. The sail controls of the Aloa 28 are controlled from the cockpit. Reefing is easy thanks to the single-line reef system. The new Yanmar engines feature high power at minimum noise. The sail drive makes it easier to manoeuvre with this boat compared to the older Aloas. The electric system has been completely revised. For example, it now has a larger switch panel with GPS, radio and a built-in marine telephone.

The sailboat is of a convenient size for a couple, or a couple with a child. The sails are in good condition, and the boat is solid, good battery and large water tank for its size. The tender was good, the kitchen is very well equipped. Unfortunately the navigation systems need improvements. When navigating, the only info accessible is the depth. The speed meter and the autopilot were not functional. There is GPS only inside the boat, and is inaccurate and of low information, we relied on Navionics/Boating App through the phone, which I recommend. I trust the company worked to resolve these issues in the meantime after we flagged them. The staff is very nice and very helpful, which we greatly appreciated. Excellent and easy check in, briefing and reception back to the marina. Preveza marina is very organized and modern, but with some distance from the Lefkada bridge that only opens certain times. In a next booking, I would emphasize on the timely delivery of the boat on Saturday to start covering some distance the first day.
Very friendly and helpfull staff :-) The boat was very comfortable and has everything you need to discover the beautiful spots around the Corfu island.
The three of us spent a week sailing on this boat. It is in good condition, only the log did not show the speed. The three of us also ran out of water once. The handover at the beginning took a very long time and remained incomplete. There were no problems with the return. The OCC charter companies are friendly and accommodating and the boat drives very well. It was a lot of fun and we'll definitely come back again. Thanks
