Remarks
Ameralia was designed by the legendary Ted Brewer and features a sturdy integral keel, skeg protected rudder and propellor. The boat has the famous Brewer underwater shape with the 'Brewer Bight' providing good manouverability. Ameralia is a very comfortable boat suitable for live aboard, extended cruising or weekends away. It would be difficult to find a 40 foot yacht with more seagoing comfort, space and storage
