Alloy Yachts

About Alloy Yachts

Based in New Zealand, Alloy Yachts implements high-performance racing technology into its line of lightweight sailing and superyachts. The birth of Alloy Yachts occurred after the build of a 28 Meter performance sailing yacht constructed with an aluminum skeleton, hence the name Alloy Yachts. This build took place in 1985 and prompted the creators to start Alloy Yachts after the build's success.

The management team has stayed mostly the same since the late ’80s. The expansion of capacity for larger builds can be directly tied to the performance of the management team. Notable launches include the ground-breaking sailing yacht series in the 30 Meter plus category. The technology used in America’s Cup quickly found its way into most of the Alloy builds. The introduction of carbon fiber sailing equipment meant an even lighter vessel while keeping the rigidity of a full aluminum build.
