Vertigo yacht is the first sailing yacht of her size to have an almost vertical bow. She was designed to be large but sensitive to sail, explaining her modern hull lines. Her almost vertical bow allows greater waterline length, thus making a considerable improvement in speed both under sail and engine power.

With an air clearance restricted to 68m (for access to the Suez Canal) and a draft restriction of 5m, the designer of the AY41 Vertigo Sailing Yacht was particularly concerned with enhancing the efficiency of the sail plan and keel.

A Ketch rig was the only option when designing this yacht. Mainsail and mizzen sail include roaches with have never been seen or used on yachts of her size. More surface area of the sails is exposed up where the wind velocity is greater than it is in the proximity of the water. This led to having sails developing a larger driving force than that of conventional triangular sails. Therefore runners are used instead of permanent backstays. This is another first on a boat of this size, made possible via the technology of mast builders Southern Spars. The draft is increased to 9.10m by a daggerboard extension. Captive winches and vertical winches are custom-made by Alloy Yachts.

The main lazarette of the sailing yacht Vertigo is situated in the middle of the vessel rather than aft. As a result, the access to the boat from her tender is more central. The aft lazarette houses a large 8 m “commuter” tender. It is enclosed by one door serving as a swimming platform, and the stairs to this transom door when it is open are formed from the aft passerelles.

On the foredeck, there are two lockers that house 2 x 6m tenders. The foredeck and passageway are entirely flush. This gives the aesthetic a very sleek appearance to the AY41 Vertigo yacht which is unique for a yacht of this size.

Particular attention has been given to the exterior relaxing areas, cockpit and flying bridge, affording the possibility to be outside and sheltered as you wish. The aft cockpit is especially well protected by a large hard-top that incorporates a louvre system and by lateral sliding windows. The flybridge is open, but on demand, it can be protected by a removable bimini top and a large dodger. The sun pads at the rear of the cockpit conceal a swimming pool.
