NEW WARWICK 82’ JUST LAUNCHED Aiyana is the latest launching from the design team at Warwick Yacht Design and represents the evolution of a long line of fast Performance Cruising Sloops featuring both fixed and lift keel versions Built by the prestigious shipyard, Alia Yachts, in turkey in composite construction to an exacting specification, formulated with High Modulus in epoxy, vacuum bagged and post cured to elevated temperatures and finished in striking flag blue Awlgrip complete with silver sheer rail and gold edged graphics and stern logo The sophisticated interior is finished in satin mahogany woods including burl inlays enhanced with selected fabrics, wall linings, leather and headliners in warm tones The state of the art communication systems are coupled with entertainment monitors to all cabins complete with video conferencing facility for the busy owner. Yachts #2 and #3 are already in build with more to follow and options in fitout and Owner’s supply are offered by the Designers and shipyard. The generous sail plan with automatic handling systems ensures fast passages for private or charter sailing and ocean crossing capability While under sail Aiyana is quiet and comfortable whether below decks, main deck seating cockpit or either of the duel steering stations on all points of sailing An inside helm station in the main saloon has good vision for motoring in inclement weather Hydraulic push button sail furling for both headsail and main are effected safely and fast when coming into an anchorage and the over center anchoring arm is deployed by one bow crewman without fuss The lift keel allows for shallow draft anchoring when raised from 4.1m draft to 2.26m draft Accommodation for six is provided in three cabins for Owner and Guests and a 4th double cabin converts from the down saloon achieving privacy with an innovative motorized sliding ceiling and double doors from the bar area. Crew accommodation has options of two bunk over bunk cabins or as in Aiyana the down saloon if not in use or over the bar. At 24m this yacht has a careful use of space and has the feeling of a much larger vessel not to mention wide side decks with storage lockers, cockpits and aft deck However the most outstanding feature is without doubt the transom door which embodies the articulated patent davits making dinghy launching a fast easy one man operation. This a most popular space in the yacht for swimming, diving or just hanging out for the younger generation. The split double stairs on gas struts gain good access to eight sets of dive equipment, fender storage and a home for the lightweight carbonfibre passarelle For a detailed list of all equipment, further photos on Aiyana and other Warwick yachts to be built at Alia Yachts in Turkey go to www.warwickyachts.com or call +64 9 410 9620 / +021920 932 or email to wyd@wyd.co.nz Photo attached.
