Among the more than half-dozen projects currently under way by Auckland-based
Warwick Yacht Design are two yachts of strikingly different appearance – they
don’t even have the same LOA – that will both be pulled from the same hull mold
at Sovereign Yachts’ new facility in Hobsonville, New Zealand.
According to
naval architect Bruce Warwick, Sovereign requested a semi-displacement,
semi-tunnel hull design suitable for boats of 103 to 121 feet. The challenge,
said Warwick, was producing a single hull mold suitable for both sportfishing
and motor yachts.
The first boat out will be a 28-knot, 103-foot sportfisher
with such luxury features as a formal dining salon, skylounge and full-beam
owner’s suite. The second is a 25-knot, 116-foot tri-deck motor yacht sporting
two full-beam suites and a large fore-and-aft tender garage.
