EVOLUCION Y DISEÑO
En el segmento de embarcaciones Semi displacement con cascos de 50’ a 55’ Alpha 50 LR supera sin excepcion a todo el mercado en lo referente a Solidez de construccion, Performance range/autonomia, Diseño del casco (Center fuel tanks, full keel, doble chine, water tight compartments, acceso a sistemas y motores).
Embarcaciones como G Banks, Krogen Exp. y Fleming siendo embarcaciones con magníficas caracteristicas y belleza de diseño exterior sin embargo no se igualan en solidez y diseño del casco (ubicación del Center of Bouyancy y Gravedad), limitando su capacidad de enfrentar oceanos con mar grueso Beufort 8.

ALPHA 50
The Alpha 50 LR as a Semi-Custom yacht with Commercial hull ruggedly and Heavy Constructed full keel ballasted, a long range with the advantage to cruise at 15-16 knots. Defined as a trawler, the Alpha LR 50 hull allows to cruise long distances for an economical cruise of 8 knots resulting in a range of 2,800 mile. At 10 knots 1,500 nmi (standard engine Cummins Intermitent QSC 8.3 lts 493 HP). Commercial hulls are solid glass 50% heavier and thicker.
Innovation; the most visible design trademark was the double chines ( the second split chine out of water line reducing beam sea)
This is part of the philosophy of making Alpha the stronger year-round cruising yachts, that feeling of a boat that is built to last forever. “For Alpha, safety and comfort is more important than absolute speed and luxury” Alpha’s hull, are designed to reduce roll and pitch. Her almost 4-foot, draft and if needed, her lowered mast give her access to waters that many other 50-footers couldn’t reach.
The yacht's design emphasizes function: Central fuel tanks with a longer and heavy keel producing a low gravity center and perfect center of buoyancy, to qualify as class A, prepared to cruise under seas Beaufort 8.
Access around the engines as well to each system and valves throughout. Direct shaft , providing performance without the inconvenients and complexities associated with pod drives.
The builder offer opportunity to acquire a custom design semi displacement vessel

• Hull No. 4 currently in production; 8-month production time
Each model takes roughly eight months to complete Alpha demands that designs must maintain fully accessible wiring and pipework well after the yacht is ready to start cruising. So often composite hulls you find that systems have been installed without allowing any access once the boat is finished unless you cut away bits of the structure.
Here is a brief list of his innovations
1. Alpha LR has hull with double chines that emphasize stability and fuel economy.
2. Wider and safer side walks.
3. Longer keel same to Fleming 55.
4. The tender platform prepared to be extended.
5. For inland waters, the radar mast can be retracted from the flybridge to reduce air draft to just over 11 feet.
6. Three watertight compartments.
7. Use of central tanks to keep the right center of buoyancy.
8. Alpha is prepared to receive additional equipment (stabilizers, hyd. Platform, additional units of Air cond., Oil Changer syst.)
9. Reinforced steering system and optional solar panels system.
Stephen R. Seaton naval arquitect :Areas of design are what govern the stability of the vessel:
- The vertical and horizontal center of gravity
- Beam of the vessel
- The shape of the hull
- Tankage and location of same
- Non-watertight openings and where they are located
