"Even on her sea trial, the 53 Open delivered her share of the unexpected. For example, under hard acceleration she's at first sedate; but around 1800 rpm, when the turbochargers kick in, she takes off like a rocket. And she does so with little bow rise and no loss of forward visibility.

"She's similarly well-behaved in turns, tracking like a pro in a series of S-turns under full throttle and losing only about 100 rpm in a tight U-turn.

"In particular, I noted that while she banked nicely into a turn, she did so without sacrificing visibility to either side.

"Like a refined lady, the Astondoa 53 Open keeps many of her most endearing attributes discreetly concealed. But that just adds to her intrigue. And one thing that's no surprise is that she offers all the elements: looks, style, performance, and quality. It's all a matter of family pride for a third generation of custom yachtbuilders.
