SY Vertigo: Alloy Yachts’ Sailing Masterpiece Delivered in 2011
SY Vertigo, a remarkable sailing yacht, was built by the renowned New Zealand-based shipyard Alloy Yachts and delivered to her owner in 2011.
The yacht showcases the exceptional design skills of Phillipe Briand, while the interior design was masterfully executed by Christian Liaigre. Liaigre also designed the interior of Rosehearty, Murdoch’s other luxurious sail yacht.
Specifications and Performance
Vertigo is powered by two Caterpillar engines, which propel her to a top speed of 17 knots. Her comfortable cruising speed is 12 knots, allowing for smooth sailing on the open seas.
Interior Design and Amenities
The yacht’s interior is meticulously designed with a focus on child-friendliness, featuring a dedicated TV room for the owner’s two younger children. Vertigo also boasts a well-equipped gym and a luxurious beach club, both with expansive hull openings that enhance the onboard experience.
The sailing yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in style, and her experienced crew of 11 ensures that everyone on board enjoys a truly unforgettable voyage.
Who is the Owner of the Sailing Yacht VERTIGO?
There are rumors on the Internet that Mr. Murdoch is the owner of the SY Vertigo yacht. However, Superyachtfan received a message from Y.CO that Mr. Murdoch is actually NOT the owner of Vertigo.
Superyachtfan is not sure who owns Vertigo. But until somebody sends us an e-mail with the name of the actual owner, we will hold on to Mr. Murdoch. (We must admit that the ‘child-friendliness’ does not really link ownership to Murdoch, but more to Lachlan Murdoch). It is very possible that the yacht is owned by Rupert’s son Lachlan Murdoch. He also owned the sailing yacht Sarissa and is now building a new and larger sailing yacht (Hull 404) at Royal Huisman. Lachlan Murdoch’s net worth is estimated at $ 2 billion.
How Much is the VERTIGO Yacht?
Her value is $50 million. Her annual running costs are around $5 million. The price of a yacht can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the size, age, and level of luxury of the yacht, as well as the cost price of materials and technology used in its construction.
