Recently launched 58.4 metre Kokomo, sailed the Hauraki Gulf last week and completed one of several sea trials. The keys were handed over to her Australian owner, just a few days later.

Kokomo left the men who sailed her last Thursday impressed at her seaworthiness and speed whilst sailing upwind in 20 to 25 knots.

Kokomo, is the third superyacht for this owner, built at Alloy Yachts and designed by Dubois Naval Architects.

For the third time, Peter Wilson of MCM, represented the new owner and worked with Alloy Yachts, Ed Dubois and Tony Dixon of Redman Whiteley Dixon to deliver their grandest project yet.

At 58.4 metres in length, Kokomo is the largest sailing yacht to be built by Alloy Yachts, has the tallest mast ever made by Southern Spars and the largest set of sails ever built by Doyle Sails, New Zealand.
