The 30.48m sailing yacht Q5 (hull YD66) is currently undertaking the final stage of construction by the respected Auckland based builder Yachting Developments. Scheduled for launch in June, the Q5 superyacht has just rolled out of the shipyard’s Hobsonville factory, offering a first glimpse of the vessel’s real size as well as volume.
The Southern Spars carbon fibre mast has now been fitted and tuned, sails have been made by Doyle NZ and will be fitted this week weather permitting.
Measuring 100ft (30.48m) in length and a staggering 48 feet (14.63m) in beam, the luxury catamaran yacht Q5 has been built by Yachting
Developments using high strength weight saving composite materials to meet and exceed stringent GL class survey requirements.
Once launched, the 30.48 superyacht Q5 will be commissioned and sea trialed on Auckland’s Harbour and Hauraki Gulf before embarking
on her maiden voyage across the pacific.
