Known locally as “The Big One”, Alloy Yachts today launched superyacht Vertigo. After 29 months of hard work by the team at Alloy Yachts, the 67.2m (220ft) Vertigo sailing yacht slipped into the waters at the base of the Alloy Yachts yard this morning.
Sailing yacht Vertigo launched by Alloy Yachts
At 837 GRT, Vertigo is the largest yacht to be built at Alloy Yachts and is also the largest luxury sailing yacht to be built in the Southern Hemisphere.
Yacht Vertigo was build under the hull name AY41 and was designed by Phillippe Briand. Phillippe Briand’s brief from the client was to make this design a performance sailing yacht capable of world cruising. The interior of superyacht Vertigo was designed by Christian Liaigre whose brief from the client was for the yacht to feel “Urban at Sea”.
It has been an incredible project and one which Alloy Yachts are very proud of.
