Naval architect and designer Gerard
Dijkstra & Partners of Amsterdam announced in September that it signed a
contract for a 110-foot (33.5-meter) modern classic sloop. The design brief for
the yacht called for a performance-oriented cruiser, suitable for charter and
easy to sail for a crew of three.
She will have an aluminum hull and a moderately light
displacement of approximately 95 tons. Her large, clean flush deck and spacious
cockpit will provide ample space for dining and sunbathing. Her rig will be a
traditional masthead with a furling genoa, removable staysail and slab-reefing
main. Her winches will be hydraulic, and her deck will accommodate a full race crew. She will sleep eight guests and four crewmembers.
Dijkstra announced the new contract at the Monaco Yacht Show,
where the world at large viewed Perini Navi’s spectacular The Maltese Falcon for the first time, for which Dijkstra designed a contemporary square
rig.
