By AC
Comments
Auckland based boatyard Yachting Developments are putting the finishing touches to the super sailing catamaran Q5 (build number YD66) in preparation for her June launching. The yacht has just been rolled out of the company’s Hobsonville factory, giving a first glimpse of the vessels true size and volume.Measuring 30.48m in length and with a huge 14.63m beam, Q5 has been built by Yachting Developments using high strength weight saving composite materials to meet and exceed stringent GL class survey requirements.
The yacht's exterior is the work of Warwick Yacht Design, and she features an interior by Redman Whiteley Dixon. Q5's Southern Spars carbon fibre mast has now been fitted and tuned, sails have been made by Doyle NZ and will be fitted this week weather permitting.
Once launched, Q5 will be commissioned and sea trialed on Auckland’s Harbour and Hauraki Gulf before embarking on her maiden voyage across the Pacific.
