| Alloy 170 |  |
Last fall and winter saw the
launch of several significant new yachts in New Zealand. Among them was the
170-foot Dubois-designed Alloy Red Dragon. Contracted by
international yachtsman Guy Ullens and his wife, Myriam, Red Dragon
is the fourth yacht over 50 meters Alloy has built. She has a 33-foot, six-inch
beam, draws just over 16 feet and has a displacement of 354 tons.
The design brief from Dubois Naval Architects was for a
high-performance aluminum sloop configured for world cruising and able to stay
operational for long periods at sea without outside assistance. The Wilmotte
& Associates interior has a large salon with a formal dining area for up to
10. The styling is light, contemporary wood. Accommodations include an owner’s
suite and three guest suites. She can carry 10 crew.
Her carbon-fiber mainmast towers 205 feet over the water. She has a fully
battened in-boom-furling main.
