Sailing yacht Lady B is a 44.7-metre striking sloop designed by Dubois Naval Architects and built by Vitters. The beautiful yacht combines exceptionally high performance levels thanks to her excellent blend of naval architecture and ergonomics, with superlative comfort featuring state-of-the-art technology and cutting edge styling.
Dubois Superyacht Lady B
Launched earlier this year, superyacht LADY B (Vitter’s hull number 3062) is a very important yacht in the Dubois Stable. She has a lifting keel, which offers enhanced performance and puts her into a different league. Careful engineering was required so that the lifting mechanism would operate even if the yacht was grounded. While there are many Dubois Yachts afloat of around her size, the 44.7m sailing yacht LADY B stands out for this reason. Her especially sleek appearance with a single-level superstructure matches the high sailing performance and expresses the character of this superb yacht. Constructed in aluminium, sailing yacht LADY B has a high aspect ratio rig with carbon mast and furling boom and is equipped with PBO standing rigging to enhance performance.
Sailing yacht Lady B designed by Dubois
Dubois developed the interior layout and the interior designers Rhoades Young have made a beautiful job of styling the interior and attending to the many details. The result is a striking vessel both externally and within.
Luxury yacht LADY B features twin cockpits; with direct access to the upper salon through the main cockpit. An interesting feature of S/Y LADY B is the direct access to the owner’s stateroom from the Aft Deck. This is not only convenience but gives a wonderful light to this important area of the yacht. The owner’s cabin aft is full width of the beam and is a generous split level cabin with lounging area and a large ensuite. The adjacent owner’s study can be converted to a third guest cabin if required. The two guest cabins are convertible to double or a twin bed configuration.
SY Lady B Interior
Sailing yacht LADY B’s interior features a clean and fresh ambiance with an emphasis on open space and light. The huge split-level upper and lower salons and dining area, is an example of the use of space where natural sunlight floods through large windows sculpted into the upper salon sides. Wide sliding glass doors into an expansive cockpit area with a fixed bimini shade.
Beautifully built by Vitters Shipyards, sailing yacht LADY B is one of the most sophisticated and well finished yachts of her size in the World today. She will stand out as being a craft of exceptional quality, beauty, and performance.
