The respected UK design studio, Dubois Naval Architects, is proud of its 50-metre sailing yacht Ohana (Project G50), launched by the leading NZ builder, Fitzroy Yachts, on October 28. Ohana superyacht is a breathtaking flybridge sloop, currently undergoing sea trials before her delivery in December.
Luxury yacht Ohana was christened in the presence of yard management and her proud build team.
Designed by Dubois Naval Architects, Ohana superyacht is the eighth Dubois design, built at the NZ yard. Complementing her modern lines and timeless design is an equally beautiful interior, styled by her owner who drew on a fresh and clean palette, with joinery work in whitewashed oak, to create a modern interior with natural colours.
Her owner will enjoy a well-appointed master cabin located aft with additional accommodation for 10 guests in five cabins. The main deck, filled with natural light, is home to a generous salon and dining space for guests to enjoy.
Built in aluminium, with a fixed bulb keel, the 50m sailing yacht Ohana (Project G50) has a cool grey exterior with distinctive touches of yellow. She features a 63.1m Southern Spars rig and will fly sails by Doyle Sails and Stratis, with a total sail area of 4,085m2 including her main sail of 636m2 and a gennaker of 1,600m2. Under sail she will achieve a maximum speed of 18 knots.
Ohana will make her much-anticipated debut as a fierce challenger on the race circuit at the 2013 NZ Millennium Cup (Auckland, 14-17 February).
