For a yacht of this magnitude, the level of detail and refinement inherent in every perfectly-completed component of SY Vertigo almost defies belief. The astonishing, minute details could almost be lost in the sheer scale of this stunning superyacht which designer Philippe Briand describes as being "a worthy descendant of the great seafaring ships of the past". After all, at the time of her launching, at 220ft (or 67.2m) in length Vertigo is the largest yacht ever to be designed by Briand, the naval architect; the largest yacht ever to be built by the shipyard, Alloy Yachts; and the single largest sailing yacht ever to be built in the Southern Hemisphere.
