Everywhere corners are adjusted, hard edges avoided.

Naval architect Philippe Briand designed the 67.9 meter
(222 feet) Vertigo as a ketch, built by Alloy Yachts. She
is the largest sailing yacht in the southern hemisphere.
Her masts are 68.4 meters (224 feet) and 62.4 meters
(204 feet) tall. When completely under sail she has a

thirteen knots. There is a great deal to move. Aside from
