The yacht builders of New Zealand
have once again demonstrated the world-class caliber
of their workmanship with 2 companies based in
Auckland gaining several awards for superyacht which
was declared at the Fort Lauderdale International
Boat Show on October 31, 2009.
Yachting Developments and Alloy Yachts, both of
which are members of the NZ Marine or New Zealand
Marine Export Group, won awards for design from the
ISS (International Superyacht Society) and ShowBoats
International. |
What’s more, Alloy Yachts’ managing director, Tony Hambrook,
was given the ISS award for leadership.
The Mondango of Alloy Yachts, a 51.7 meter yacht was chosen
from an assembly of 5 finalists to win the ISS 2009 design
award category for sailing yachts that are over 40 meters
long.
The Mondango deigned by Ed Dubois was likewise named by the
ShowBoats International award as the best sailing yacht

Alloy Yachts, in addition, won the design award
category for 24 to 40 meter motor yachts with the
Allogante, a 39.9 meter. The Dubois Naval Architects
designed the Allogante.
The design by Philippe Briand, the 36.5 meter
Bristolian sailing yacht, won the design award of
the ISS for the 24 to 40 meter category for Yachting
Developments. This ship also won the best interior
award at ShowBoats International.
According to the New Zealand Marine chairman, Mark
Wightman, those 2 awards are very important signs
that show the world that the quality and substance
of New Zealand boats merely improve with each
passing year. The numerous awards garnered by
several yacht building companies in New Zealand only
prove that industry of boat building in the country
is sound and reliable. |
