57' Performance Cruising Yacht
Boat Name: TBA
Designed
as a high performance, luxuriously appointed yacht, this
vessel will turn heads wherever she goes. She will cater
for those that want full on sailing performance, as well as
comfort for those that want to just sit back and soak it
in.
This is a safe and easily driven hull with fast
passage-making qualities. The hull incorporates a fine
‘V’ shaped entry that flattens out into a nice
run aft. Moderate beam and a well-balanced hull volume
distribution will allow excellent load carrying capacity
with superior performance characteristics. A hydraulically
lifting keel allows access to the shallow waters that are
usually unattainable for yachts of this size, while still
allowing excellent performance upwind. The keel and twin
rudders incorporate the latest in foil design in order to
maximize lift while minimizing drag. The double rudders
allow a large tender garage and equipment storage area aft
while also maintaining perfect control in all points of
sail.
The Main is full battened and contained within a furling
boom when not in use. There is enough separation between
the furling Genoa and the Staysail so that they can be
efficiently sailed together. A protruding prod comes out of
the port side ‘prod-tube’ which is faired into
the hull. This ‘prod tube’ is completely water
tight from the interior of the vessel, and all controls to
pull it in and out are within easy reach of the anchor
well.
Automated
sailing systems make for a clean deck and the streamlined
pilothouse enhances the yacht’s attractive profile.
The Deck is laid out for entertainment and ease of sailing.
All control lines lead aft to the helm stations. The twin
helms, port and starboard, opens the flow-through between
transom and companionway. Salon style seating forward of
the helm station allows el-fresco dining and a safe area
away from the workings of the yacht. A bimini / soft top
will be designed above the seating to make this a second
semi-opening salon area.
Aft of the wheels, we have kept it quite open so that this
area can be used for sunbathing and lounging when at
anchor. All winches are reachable from the helm.
Further aft, the transom folds down to give access to the
dinghy ‘garage’ and lazerette as well as
providing an excellent boarding platform when swimming,
diving or getting in and out of the dinghy. The dinghy
garage will accommodate a 2.8 metre RIB.
As you come down the companionway, you will note the layout
is open and spacious. The main saloon, entertainment and
dining area, offers panoramic views while seated, but has
also been designed to create an air of intimacy. As one
lounges in this area, they will have panoramic views
through the large windscreen forward, above and to the
sides as well as Hatches above which will allow air flow
and further light.
The rest of the interior layout includes Owners cabin and
Ensuite forward; a large galley to starboard; Private aft
cabin aft to port; and a Navigation Station and further
berths to starboard; and plenty of storage throughout.
This is an exciting Yacht that will be perfect for those
wanting a home away from home, with incredible comfort in
the longer extended cruises.
The Dibley 57 combines high performance, ease of handling,
safety and luxury with a style and structural integrity
that will set new standards for years to come. We also have
the ability of re-designing to cater for individual
requirements.
