Upcoming launch: Fitzroy 37.5M sailing yacht

Fitzroy 37.5-meter FY17 fast cruising sloop to launch soon​

The latest sailing yacht from New Zealand builder Fitzroy Yachts will soon launch from their facilities. It will be a joyful moment for the owner of FY17, a fast cruising sloop and on the flipside it will be a sad time for some of the workers at Fitzroy, as some of the will be laid off. FY17 was built in all aluminum to a design by the world famed Dubois Naval Architects. The interior was done by Design Unlimited.

She will have some special features onboard like a raised saloon and a fixed bimini over the cockpit, which will have mechanically operated sliding windows. Her strong clean lines will make her a striking sight on the water, while her top performance levels will make her a worthy competitor on the regatta scene.

On the Design Unlimited interior, the layout for accommodation will be a master cabin and two guest staterooms that are situated aft; with a 4th cabin, come-day room, galley and crew space forward. Two crew cabins and the captain's cabin are onboard as well. FY17 is 37.5-meters LOA, 8.49-meter BOA and because of her fixed keel, her draft is 4-meters. FY17's displacement is around 180-tonnes. Look out for the latest Fitzroy sloop to be launched at the end of February 2014.
