Construction of a new 58-meter
performance sloop named Kokomo is currently under way at
Alloy Yachts in New Zealand. Designed by Dubois Naval Architects with a Redman
Whiteley Dixon interior, she is the third Kokomo to be
built at Alloy Yachts for Australian yachtsman Lang Walker and is scheduled for
delivery in December 2009.
Built with an emphasis on performance, the yacht will feature a
powerful sail plan and a lifting keel and bulb. The mast is a towering 71 meters
high and, along with the boom, will be done in carbon fiber by Southern Spars.
The entire standing rigging package is composite, representing a weight saving
of approximately 60 percent over conventional steel rigging. The winch package,
including vertical winches and captive reel winches, will be designed and built
in-house by Alloy Yachts. For ease of docking, Kokomo will
be equipped with bow and stern thrusters, with auxiliary power coming from two
Caterpillar diesels.
Accommodations aboard Kokomo comprise an owner’s stateroom
and four guest staterooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. Up to 12 crew are
housed in six ensuite cabins. She will be built to Lloyd’s 100 A1
SSC Yacht Mono G6 MCH classification.
