SALPERTON is the largest pleasure craft ever built in New Zealand. Designed by Dubois Naval Architects and built at Alloy Yachts in Auckland, she was handed over to her owner in March 2002. Her layout puts the main cockpit, saloon, formal dining area and pilothouse on the same level. This space plan is unique on a sailing yacht and is accompanied by visibility and sight lines which will give a feeling of space and light as well as direct but sheltered visual contact with the sea in all areas. Each of her five magnificent guest staterooms has generous natural light. Guest accommodation includes the owner's suite, three double guest cabins and a gymnasium which has two pull out berths and a bunk. She has six crew cabins, all ensuite, giving comfortable accommodation for her crew. With a maximum speed under power in excess of 15 knots and speeds in excess of 16 knots attainable under sail she offers a fantastic combination of space, performance and elegant living.
