CUSTOM 70 FOOTER, BILL DIXON DESIGN
This is a very traditional yacht, a so-called "CLASSIC" as far as the aesthetics concerns. A lot of classic styled details woodwork with paneling and other details in both interior and exterior. The interior and exterior styling has been done until the last detail in co-operation between the owner, Bill Dixon Design office and the project Manager David Barwell. In spite of its very traditional aesthetics this yacht represents the most modern thinking with respect to materials, methods and equipment selected to be used. Examples are:
- Carbon, Epoxy, vacuum laminates in hull and deck.
- Additional reinforcement of Kevlar in the hull outer skin for increased impact resistance.
- Lifting keel allowing getting into relatively shallow harbors but with high sailing draft for improved lift and high stability.
- E.T.C.
This yacht sailed away from our yard late autumn 1997 in temperatures below freezing with snow and ice on the deck. The weather she is sailing in right now is more pleasant. The yacht has done several successful ocean crossing and is presently sailing in the South Pacific.
