Alloy Yachts has announced the launch of Encore, the 43.9m Dubois-designed sloop.
Encore was built for experienced Alloy customers and will now spend the coming weeks in commissioning mode before being handed over to the owners in late June. She features a 54m mast and rig by Southern Spars and sails by Doyle Sails New Zealand.
The project began in November 2010 and she's now scheduled for delivery to her owners in June this year.
