Alloy Yachts
Auckland aluminium builder best known for large performance-cruising sailing yachts, including the 67 m Vertigo. After the last deliveries in 2014 (Mondango 3, Hey Jude) it cut to a core team of about 20, blaming a strong NZ dollar and weak sailing-yacht demand, and ceased operations in April 2016. It no longer builds; Alloy Support maintains a legacy/owner-support presence.
