Design 1998 Dida II
This particular boat was the prototype of the Alpa 12.7. This would the first of 9 production sailing yacht models designed by Sparkman & Stephens for Alpa Yachts of Cremona, Italy between 1969 and 1977. The boat was built of fiberglass and launched in 1969. She was built for a syndicate of owners primarily for racing.
The final production model would bear the name Alpa 42 and would be quite different from this flush deck boat but more about that in a future posting.
Here are the plans.
Principal Dimensions
LOA 41-7"
LWL 30-0"
Beam 11-5"
Draft 6-10"
Displacement 20,825 lbs
Ballast 9,300 lbs (outside) 500 lbs (inside)
Sail Area 788 sq ft
As a postscript heres Rod leaning on the freshly built boat at what I believe to be the Genoa Boat Show of 1969.
