VESSEL WALKTHROUGH

The 52m performance cruising sloop is the 24th sailing yacht and the fourth over 50m built by Alloy Yachts, New Zealand. Construction began in March 2006 and she was delivered to her owners in February 2008. In broad concept, Red Dragon is similar to the 52m sloop Kokomo (now: PRANA), launched from Alloy Yachts in July 2006.

The main deck presents an unbroken vista from the aft cockpit, through the saloon/bar/dining area all the way to the forward wheelhouse, with the principal helming position situated on the fly bridge deck above. In the detailing, however, and the interior treatment, Red Dragon broke new ground when she was launched.

The design was kept within the limits that allow the yacht to transit both the Panama and Suez canals but still be large enough to cover more than 300 miles a day at sea.

The yacht also has sufficient tankage to enable her to cross the Pacific Ocean without stopping, which was important as well as it gives great flexibility when passage planning.

EXTERIOR

The lines are contemporary, with a near plumb bow, subtle sheer, sweeping low-profile coach roof and an extended aft deck flowing back to an elegant transom that slopes down to just above the waterline. The line of the coach roof extends into a long overhang, floating virtually unsupported over the aft cockpit.

The hull is finished in anthracite grey with a snow white superstructure. A vivid red covestripe provides a handsome accent against the dark hull and establishes a theme repeated on the boom. Set into the covestripe in Chinese characters is the name Red Dragon.

Further attention to detail is that the aft face of the boom exactly mirrors the angle of the transom. The dark windows of the coach roof wrap all the way around in an unbroken sweep of curved glass. The cockpit side windows slide up and down at the touch of a button.

Previous yachts of this class have had the engine air intakes concealed behind louvers. In its pursuit of clean, uncluttered design, Red Dragon has found another solution. The louvers are absent entirely and the air intakes are totally concealed within the recesses that accommodate the tinted glass panels along the side of the coach roof.

After boarding via the extending passarelle, or across the double articulating stern boarding platform, guests proceed across the extensive aft deck. This can be left clear, or used as a large sun-deck with guests reclining on freestanding loungers. Guests can also access the yacht via a hydraulic side-boarding stairway on the starboard side.

From the aft deck, guests descend two steps down into the aft cockpit, which is protected overhead by the flybridge overhang and can either be opened or closed on the sides by raising or lowering the curved glass side-windows. Further protection can be provided with clear stratoglass panels closing off the aft face of the cockpit. The cockpit has an alfresco dining area for ten and a lounging area with free-standing chairs arranged around a low coffee table.

Access to the flybridge is via two flights of stairs leading up from the port and starboard sides of the aft cockpit. The teak treads appear to float on narrow stainless steel columns and terminate at pneumatically powered sliding glass hatches which open onto the flybridge deck.

The flybridge is dominated by the twin helm stations, with engine and thruster controls duplicated at each station and the sail controls congregated on a central panel.

Aft of the helm stations are two L-shaped bench settees ranged around low coffee tables. A bar is then ranged athwart-ships across the aft side of the flybridge and behind the bar is an expansive sunbathing area with cushions. A bimini sun-awning can be erected to provide shade over the flybridge if required.

Perhaps the most obvious absence is any exterior timber. The 'traditional' varnished teak cap rails are replaced by an aluminium cap painted in the same anthracite grey as the hull.

Most components of the deck hardware package were built in-house. The sail plan includes the fully-battened mainsail and three headsails, all furling on Reckmann hydraulic units and compromising a large reacher, a 100 percent blade and staysail.

The crew tender and an array of water toys are stowed in a garage in the aft lazarette, which can be accessed through a hatch in the aft deck, or through a large watertight door when the transom folds out to create a boarding/swim platform. For ease of manoeuvring, Red Dragon features bow and stern thrusters. In calm conditions, the yacht can go sideways under the thrusters at 4 knots.

INTERIOR

The Wilmotte & Associates interior perfectly complements the exterior styling with its simple lines and subtle detailing.

The ambience they created is quiet, calming and elegant. The colours are muted and, combined with the light pouring in from the large surrounding windows; a tremendous sense of space is achieved. This sense is heightened by the impression that much of the furniture is suspended in space, separated from the floor and walls with light spilling from concealed recesses under and around the cabinets and wardrobes.

Entry to the main saloon is through custom-built sliding stainless steel and glass doors. The saloon features a formal lounge across the width of the superstructure with formal dining along the starboard side and a bar along the port side. A dramatic centreline staircase descends from the forward end of the saloon to the guest accommodation area on the lower deck. This stairway is a new design element. Its central placing not only creates distinct zones — bar, dining and saloon — on the main deck, but also creates a strong sense of connection between the communal entertainment areas of the yacht and the guest suites below. The wide stairway flows aft directly into a spacious companionway with three guest suites and what is currently used as a gymnasium and occasional cabin accessible from the same corridor. The companionway terminates at the full-beam owners' suite furthest aft.

The owner's suite spans the full beam of the yacht with a large bed on the centreline flanked by waist-high dressers and with generous full-length wardrobes on either side of the entryway. At the foot of the bed, a narrow cabinet contains a large pop-up LCD TV monitor. The large bathroom is behind the aft bulkhead with a freestanding bathtub set athwartships and separate toilet and shower cubicles on the port and starboard sides. The feeling of internal spaciousness is enhanced by furniture that appears to float unsupported with light spilling from under and behind the cabinetry from invisible sources.

The guest suites feature mirror-image double suites port and starboard with a third twin-bed suite (which also has a Pullman) located on the port side and mirrored to starboard by a fully equipped gymnasium. The gymnasium also includes a Pullman berth, if an extra bed is occasionally required, or alternatively if the next Owner has no use for a gym then all that would be required for its conversion to another twin cabin would be the removal of the gym equipment and the fabrication of a bed or beds. All the guest suites have individual climate control, en-suite bathrooms and full access to the Kaleidascape entertainment system with its vast library of movies and music. A day head is also situated off this companionway.

The wheelhouse is on the main deck forward, separated from the saloon by two automatic sliding doors set into the forward bulkhead. Custom-built pantograph doors also give access to the port and starboard side decks. The comprehensive instrument and electronics control panels and displays are set into pale grey stitched faux leather desks on either side of the service companionway which descends forwards down the centreline into the crew area.

The service companionway opens onto a landing with the Captain's double en-suite cabin to port and a fully-equipped laundry to starboard. Down another level, the companionway opens directly into the large galley, which is finished in stainless steel with glacier-white corian countertops and cabinet fronts. Following the L-shaped counter is a head-high suspended pot-storage rail. Inset into the counter is a large rectangular chilled stainless steel plate for preparing pastry. The galley is equipped with a custom `step-in' refrigerator and freezer, induction cook tops and wok and a commercial-style Convotherm oven.

Across from the galley on the port side, is the crew mess with seating for ten and a full array of ship's monitors and alarms. Access to the engine room is from the crew mess. Forward of the mess are four crew cabins, each with two bunks and ensuite bathrooms. The crew cabins are also equipped with access to the yacht's entertainment system, Brookes & Gatehouse 2020 sailing displays and the aft two cabins also have SeaTouch system monitors. At the forward end of the crew companionway is an access ladder to the foredeck.
