Best Sailing Yacht Under 40 Meters ~ Janice of Wyoming
The seemingly blessed alliance between Dubois Naval Architects and Alloy Yachts has produced a sloop that eclipses even their previous strong collaborations. The high level of customization aboard Janice of Wyoming is readily apparent with touches like a fossilized bar counter, complete with fish skeletons, estimated to be 50 million years old. Flawless cherry joinery surrounds interior spaces that suggest a larger boat. To enable video conferencing anywhere and anytime, even under way, her electronics include high-definition cameras and a system of cutting-edge at-sea communications. A touch-screen monitoring system raises the bar even higher. With interior volume that competently accommodates guests and crew, she is every bit the powerful, high-performance, low-profile yacht requested by her owner. Her deck is clean, functional and comfortable, and her profile produces envious looks from sailors who wish they’d had the vision first.
