| Holland Jachtbouw 121 |  |
The collaboration between Holland Jachtbouw
and Dixon Design recently resulted in the launch of a sleek, high-performance
sloop. The 37-meter (121-foot) YII weighs in at just 152 tons, thanks to her
light-weight Alustar hull and Nomex-cored interior. The yacht’s tall rig and
high sail area–to-displacement ratio is designed to make the most of the
Mediterranean’s light summertime winds. Her shoal keel and ballast bulb were
tank-tested for maximum stability and efficiency.
Dixon gave YII a clean, uncluttered exterior with a low
freeboard, low-profile deckhouse and deck hardware that is either recessed or
concealed.
John Munford handled the interior design, creating an ambiance
that is both contemporary and warm. The pear and wengé joinery were left in
their natural shades, inset with white panels, to brighten the rooms.
A raised salon and dining area share the deckhouse and are surrounded by
windows. Below, four double staterooms lie forward while the roomy crew quarters
and galley are aft.
