Kokomo , a 40.4 m. (132.5’) Fast Sloop was launched in February, 2000, from Alloy Yachts International, New Zealand.

This is the seventh Dubois project that Alloy Yachts has built - a successful team, and one where shared experience lent great confidence. The extra length and beam of this craft allowed a fresh look at layout. This manifested itself in a new lobby arrangement in the aft accommodations area. Entered by a stairway from the upper pilothouse, the lobby eliminates the corridor from the main saloon used on previous, smaller designs. The lobby gives access to the full-width owner's suite and two spacious half-width guest suites. Extensive crew accommodation is also provided forward with three good cabins, all with ensuites.

Research at the Wolfson Unit of Southampton University went into Kokomo's hull-shape and underwater foils. Work at the unit, where Team New Zealand conducted its America's Cup testing, resulted in a sparkling performance from this elegant yacht.

An easily driven hull, excellent lift to drag properties, high stability and a keel and spade rudder configuration, which permit excellent maneuverability are all notable performance features.

Increasing interest in superyacht fun regattas makes performance a key element in the design of these yachts. On her first outing at the New Zealand Millennium Cup, Kokomo showed her pedigree by out sailing several larger vessels.

Whether racing or cruising, the combination of speed, comfort and safety give this yacht an edge over the competition.
