Marten Yachts 77 LADY K

Boat Overview

This graceful Bill Tripp design was built by the renowned shipyard Marten Yachts in New Zealand. LADY K is a testament to their mastery in crafting both opulent cruising yachts and high-performance racing vessels, including contenders for the America's Cup. Combining strength with minimal weight, LADY K stands as a light, swift and comfortable sailing yacht.

Rigging and Sail Features

Her carbon fiber main and mizzen masts, crafted by Martin Marine / Southern Spars were equipped with ECSix standing rigging in 2021, showcasing a substantial improvement, halving the original rigging's weight. The boom furling system ensures efficient sail control and effortless reefing, while the low-aspect ketch rig provides versatility in sail options.

Draft and Keel

With a minimum draft of 6’8”, the brilliant lifting keel feature allows LADY K into the most appealing and coveted harbors and anchorages worldwide.

Interior Design

Inside, LADY K boasts a raised salon design featuring an abundance of glass that floods the interior with natural light. A forward-facing navigation and helm station provide commanding views, while the raised dinette is perfect for everything from morning coffee to cocktails, lunch, or simply savoring the views. To port, an additional settee invites relaxation. The lower salon and galley, centrally located and illuminated by overhead glass, comfortably accommodates six guests. Entertainment options abound with Apple TV and Bose surround sound. The galley, thoughtfully designed in an L shape, is highly efficient.

Cabin Layout

LADY K's layout offers four guest cabins and a crew cabin for two, complete with upper and lower berths and a private head. Aft, three guest cabins await. The owner's cabin is full-beam and features a centerline queen berth, a small settee, and separate head and shower compartments. The first guest cabin offers side-by-side twin berths with access to a head and shower compartment. The second guest cabin features upper and lower berths, while the third guest cabin is forward of the galley, boasting a double berth and private head and shower.

Exterior Design

LADY K's exterior, designed by Bill Tripp, radiates timeless beauty with classic proportions and graceful sheer lines. Her profile is as elegant as it is functional. Dual staircases provide easy access to the swim step, where garage space is available for water toys. The cockpit, equipped with dual helms and a centerline table, offers excellent protection while ensuring the skipper maintains clear sightlines. LADY K's exterior decks are engineered for practicality and ease of maintenance. With no exterior woodwork, there's no need for varnish or teak decks. The deck coatings remain cool underfoot and ensure safety. Her side decks are wide and uncluttered and the unobtrusive tender storage behind the mizzen allows for quick and effortless launch and retrieval.

Conclusion

In every aspect, from her build to her interior comfort and exterior design, LADY K embodies smooth sailing and functionality, making her the ideal vessel for discerning sailors seeking a memorable yachting experience.
