The 56.4m (185ft) flybridge ketch MONDANGO 3 has an aluminium hull and superstructure constructed to Lloyd's classification and MCA compliance. Her naval architecture and exterior design are by the renowned British studio Dubois Naval Architects, she has showstopping interiors by Reymond Langton Design and she was delivered by legendary New Zealand shipyard Alloy Yachts in 2014. She is a yacht of exceptional pedigree and this was recognised when she won the International Superyacht Society Award 2014 in the Best sail 40m+ category.
There is a jacuzzi on the main deck aft and a fold-down swim platform in the transom
A beam of 11m (36.1ft) gives her a deceptively spacious internal volume of 499GT and her centreboard lifts to reduce her draft from 11m (36.1ft) to just 4m (13.1ft), giving her access to anchorages out of bounds to deeper drafted yachts.
She has a boarding platform on the starboard side as well as a swim platform aft
She has several features rarely found on sailing yachts, including a jacuzzi on the aft deck, a fold-down swim platform aft and a shell-door boarding platform midships to starboard. She also has a winter garden that can be enclosed by glass screens to create a climate-controlled space.
The winter garden has open-air dining, sofa seating and a lounge aft
Glass panels lower into the coaming so the space can be open or closed
She has been fitted out with the very best of everything. Her carbon fibre masts and in-boom furling are by Southern Spars, supported by Nitronic rod rigging with sails by North. Both rigs were serviced in May 2019 during her five-year class survey.
The large flybridge with helm stations forward, lounges and a huge sunpad out of sight aft
Expansive deck spaces include the 60sqm (645.8sqft) flybridge. Aft of the twin helm stations are two lounges and aft is a vast sunpad. The main deck aft has plenty of room for sunloungers and wide sidedecks lead forward to a huge, versatile area on the foredeck.
Her two tenders stow beneath foredeck hatches
Beneath hatches in the foredeck are two tenders, a 7m (23ft) custom Smuggler tender and a 5.4m (17.7ft) Smuggler Strat RIB. Beneath the flybridge overhang is a large guest cockpit with dining for 10, sofa seating port and starboard and a relaxed lounge area aft. This space can be closed off by glass panels.
In the main saloon, seating faces a very large TV screen on a partial bulkhead forward
Inside she has sinuous curves everywhere in an interior that showcases Reymond Langton Design at their brilliant best. The main saloon has forward-facing U-shaped seating with sofas and armchairs facing a large TV mounted on a partial bulkhead, forward of which is the formal dining area.
The stairs down to the lower deck guest lobby are inspired
Reymond Langton Design is transcendent in the guest lobby
Aft in the main saloon a beautifully designed staircase leads down to a sensational guest lobby, off which are the full-beam owner's suite midships with en suite shower room, two double cabins and two twin cabins, one with an additional berth. In total she welcomes 11 guests in five cabins.

Under sail she shows the perfect blend of performance and comfort. Under power her single 1,450hp Caterpillar diesel engine gives her a top speed of 14 knots and a maximum range of 6,500nm at her cruising speed of 12 knots.
She is a hugely comfortable ocean cruiser with easy sail handling thanks to eight deck winches and 15 captive winches
