The 192-foot Kokomo was the second largest sloop in the world when it launched from New Zealand’s Alloy Yachts shipyard in 2010. It remains the largest fast-cruising sloop available for charter. The yacht’s commissioning owner Lang Walker (who died in January 2024) was a seasoned sailor who gave all three of his yachts the same name.

The first was a 131-foot sloop, which Walker replaced five years later with a 171-footer. The same day he took delivery of his 171-foot sloop, he placed an order for the third and final 192-foot Kokomo, which he planned to use for racing and cruising around the world. He also kept the same design team for all three yachts, with exterior and naval architecture by Ed Dubois and interior by UK’s RWD.

The reference to the yacht’s name has had different explanations over the years, ranging from the pseudonym of a composer whose music Walker played as a child to a nod to the Beach Boys’s song from their 1988 album Still Cruisin’ , which references a fictional utopian island called Kokomo. The island fantasy was brought to life in 2011 when Walker acquired a private island in Fiji’s Great Astrolabe Reef and named it Kokomo .

Here are eight unknown facts about one of the most game-changing sailing yachts on the water.

You’re Going to Need a Bigger Boom

When Kokomo was launched, she was the second-largest sloop in the world and carried the largest set of sails made by Doyle Sails in New Zealand. The 23,971-square-foot asymmetric spinnaker is half the size of a professional football field, while the 9,688-square-foot mainsail needs a crane to lift it. Because of the gargantuan size of the sails, the designers entered a new era of spar and winch design, having to “reinvent” the deck equipment—winches, mast, boom, rigging and sails—to cope with the 31.6-ton load on the genoa sheet and 32-ton load on the main sheet clew. The 244-foot carbon mast is the largest ever made by Southern Spars.

A Hidden Lifting Keel

The yacht’s 130-ton lifting keel is one of its most impressive features, though it’s largely left to the imagination. The interior layout is carefully designed so that the keel structure remains hidden. Dubois Naval Architects positioned the keel box to come above the main deck, serving as a partial separation between the bridge and the main salon (see inset). Kokomo was only the second yacht to be fitted with a lifting a keel, the first being 246-foot M5 (ex-Mirabella V), the world’s largest single-masted sailing yacht. This innovative design shortens Kokomo’s 28.5-foot draft when the keel is fully extended, to just 15 feet for shallow waters.

Fast-Track Sailing

Kokomo was one of the first yachts to be fitted with a hydraulic batt-car system for furling the mainsail, which has cars at each batten end that slot in an outer track on the mast. This alleviates a once-common issue where the luff tape or bolt rope on large sailing yachts became chaffed by the compression of the battens, which often caused the in-boom furling mainsails to fail. “When sailing Kokomo , especially when racing, I am completely impressed with the speed and efficiency of the hydraulic system,” says Kokomo ’s captain, Jeremy ‘Bear’ Wynne, who notes the yacht’s recorded top speed is a very impressive 22 knots. “The jib furlers are some of the fastest I have seen. There is absolutely no shortage of hydraulic power, even with multiple winches running on a jibe—a rarity on a big sailing yacht.”

Now You See It, Now You Don’t

Kokomo might be big on technology, but never at the expense of design. The wheelhouse has fold-down computer screens that conceal the navigation equipment when not in use, converting to beautiful carbon counter tops. This design sleight of hand transforms a highly technical area into a tony lounge. It’s a theme that extends to the foredeck, where the yacht’s two tenders are concealed in dedicated lockers. There’s also a fully retractable tender crane that launches the tenders from either side of the boat but disappears out of sight when guests are using the Jacuzzi. “The designated deck lockers were an advanced feature at the time of her launch,” says Wynne, adding that another bonus is that diesel tanks are fully available. “The tenders can be fueled onboard before launching.”

It Takes Just A Few Good Sailors

Kokomo can accommodate up to 10 crew in total, but theoretically it only takes two to sail—a helm person and a sail trimmer. That sounds almost impossible given the size and complexity of yacht. But all sails are controlled by joystick on the flybridge. And when the boat is in full-on racing mode, there are control stations on both sides, providing visibility of the sails. Thanks to the hydraulics system, the mainsail can be hoisted and lowered on a wireless remote control. Of course, maneuvers like stowing the massive genoa can never be automated. That’s a job for a half-dozen good sailors.

Art On Board

The hallway that leads to the owner’s cabin is lined with a mosaic tapestry made from sea glass woven together with wire. Backlit to create an unusual effect, it’s just one of the eclectic works of art that decorates the interior. The main salon also has a stunning and colorful work of glass art as another example.

Interior Matters

Kokomo is not all tech features. The yacht’s modern interiors combine dark wood floors and calming cream furnishings start in the main salon and continue across the five guest cabins. Penned by British studio Redman Whiteley Dixon, the design carefully wraps around the lifting keel without sacrificing or impeding on any interior guest space. The yacht accommodates up to 10 guests in a master suite, VIP, one double cabin and two twins. There are other accommodations for up to 10 crew. On the foredeck, the Jacuzzi brings another element of outdoor entertainment, bolstered by a sunken cockpit.

World Traveler

The mandate issued by Walker was to create a yacht that was a “quantum leap forward” from his previous yachts, with superior sailing characteristics and guest comfort. The mast’s height is too tall to sail through the Panama or Suez Canals, which meant it would have to be designed to sail around Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope to reach the Caribbean and Mediterranean. The maiden voyage took the yacht from the New Zealand shipyard to Australia, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, and Fiji. It also spent time at Walker’s private island (pictured above), also named Kokomo. The vessel has since spent many years exploring the Caribbean and Med. It’s based in both regions during the respective cruising seasons, with charters available through Cecil Wright.

Building the dream

Superyacht owner and avid racer lang walker shares his passions for sailing and island life..

15 February 2018

Advertisement

Following the passing of Australian real-estate tycoon and avid sailor Lang Walker in January 2024, Ocean magazine revisits a 2018 interview where he delves into the evolution of his Kokomo legacy.

His journey unfolds from the exhilarating realm of Farr 40 sailing to the meticulous curation of a magnificent fleet of super sailing yachts, showcasing Lang’s unwavering dedication to both the art of sailing and the creation of one of Fiji’s most exquisite island resorts.

Lang Walker is one of Australia’s most successful and best-known property developers, having carved out a stellar career over the last 50 years with his Walker Corporation, but his passions often run to the water-based rather than on land.

Having started out his sailing life at the tender age of nine, when he was growing up in the Sydney suburb of Yowie Bay, Walker has never been far from boats and yachts, despite his many business commitments.

An avid One-Design competitive sailor, Walker also likes to take things easy at sea by enjoying family time on his New Zealand-built, 58.4-metre superyacht S/Y Kokomo , delivered in 2010 by Alloy Yachts. Last year Walker opened his newly developed private island resort, also named Kokomo, which celebrates life in the slow lane with barefoot chic crossed with luxury facilities.

Lang took a break from his R&R on Kokomo to talk with Ocean about his love of sailing, why it pays to know what you want from a new build project, and fostering the next generation of sailors through philanthropy.

Ocean  magazine (OM): When did your love of the ocean and yachts start?

Lang Walker: I developed my passion for the ocean and sailing early on in life at the age of nine, when I lived on the water at Yowie Bay.

Can you share with our readers your three favourite boats that you have owned and why they make the top three?

My three favourite boats would be Yarrawin, the Farr 40 Yacht and S/Y Kokomo . Yarrawin is a beautiful, soft carbon-fibre yacht with a classic wooden, old-boat-style exterior, and the Farr 40 Yacht fits the One-Design sailing model demanded by Farr 40 Championships.

In my opinion, One-Design sailing is the best in the world as everyone is equal and winning comes down to the crew and their skill to succeed; it’s intense, competitive and exciting.

S/Y Kokomo is the ultimate sailing boat, delivering power and speed. Sailing through stunning European destinations on S/Y Kokomo is exceptional.

When is your most cherished memory of yachting from and why?

The first time I won the National Farr 40 Titles because it was a very competitive and a close race. One-Design boat racing and hearing the wave of the boat heading into the finish line was motivation to win.

Where’s your favourite destination to visit by yacht and why?

One of our favourite destinations to visit is the top end of Sardinia to pick up fresh Corsican rosé before travelling down to Porto Cervo and then on to Bonifacio. We love the beautiful anchorages along these coastlines, the crystal-clear waters, the food and crisp rosé at each port.

You have built a number of custom superyachts over your time as an owner. What did you draw on from your property development experience during the process?

Vision and attention to detail are important aspects in property development, and something that translates to sailing. I’m always looking to innovate and push the boundaries in both property development and sailing. One example is building a 58.4-metre sloop with a 130-tonne lifting keel to create the largest spinnaker in the history of the world, as well as introducing 3DL sails to the superyacht.

I have owned and modified an array of yachts over the years. Predominantly, a series of prized racing yachts named S/Y Kokomo . Each reiteration of this superyacht has evolved along with my competitive sailing career and experience.

What advice would you give to anyone considering commissioning a custom superyacht for the first time?

You need to fully understand the needs of a boat and look beyond the architect’s requirements. Boats are space deficient and as such, where you situate the stairs and openings is of the utmost importance. Be mindful that it is very easy to be directed by an architect to do things that don’t suit a yacht. Space is paramount in a yacht design.

If you could change one thing about the yachting business, as a consumer, what would it be?

I would urge superyacht owners to contribute to sailing clubs and academies to support the next generation of sailing talent. Personally, I support the Australian Olympic Sailing Team and the Youth Sailing Academy, and am a proud sponsor of and involved in the Farr 40 sailing group.

Congratulations on the opening of Kokomo Island last year. What is your favourite thing about the island and why?

My favourite thing about Kokomo Private Island is the close proximity – it’s only 10 minutes from shore – to the Great Astrolabe Reef. The fourth largest reef on the planet, it offers some of the best diving and fishing in the world in a remote, unspoiled and unfrequented location.

What has been the greatest challenge and the biggest reward of the project, and how has it compared to your property development projects – both personal and commercial – on the mainland?

It has been the most challenging project that Walker Corporation has ever undertaken. This is due to the logistics of the remote location and my relentless pursuit to create the best resort in the Pacific. We have delivered the hardware: stunning beachfront villas, private residences, world-class restaurants, extensive facilities and endless activities. Now my focus is on the software and bringing in people who are proud of working for the best resort and are passionate about continuing to lift the standards of the food and service, to which Fiji is unaccustomed.

The biggest reward has been involving and working with my family, who share my enthusiasm and vision for this private island paradise.

Together, we have created the ideal escape from the world and a destination we are proud of and love to visit as a family most holidays. There’s nothing more satisfying or rewarding than when my children and their families come together and make memories on Kokomo.

Kokomo features a sustainable design. Can you explain what is meant by this and why was it important to you? Does the environmental angle extend to other operations, too?

Like Walker Corporation, integral to Kokomo’s core values are environmental and cultural sustainability. We are committed to sustainable development and to exceeding industry standards for sustainability. We have invested millions of dollars to lift our sites well beyond health and environmental standards and we pride ourselves in employing the latest in environmentally sustainable design principles (green technologies) to create sustainable buildings with efficient water, energy and aeration systems for a healthy working environment.

The Green Star and NABERS industry standards, put in place by the Green Building Council Australia, are how we measure the environmental sustainability of our projects. We committed to achieving a minimum five Green Star – As Built standard on all commercial and retail projects, if not the maximum six Green Star rating.

In addition to our core principles, in Fiji, during the build of Kokomo, no expense was spared in sourcing the finest local building materials for the resort. From the local plantation timbers to the stone from the island (and surrounding islands) to the craft building materials and the production of a large proportion of our furniture on the island. Beyond design and development, we grow the majority of our vegetables and herbs on the island using organic practices, farm chickens and keep bees.

What can we next expect from the resort – is there anything in the pipeline?

We’re always tweaking our offering to achieve the vision of a six-star serviced resort, ensuring that everyone who visits and stays with us has the best possible experience on their holiday.

What is luxury to you?

To me, luxury encompasses everything that exceeds your expectations. Our approach is to continually strive for excellence across the board and deliver an unparalleled personal approach.

What single piece of advice, both for business and in your personal life, would you give yourself as a 25-year-old?

Don’t get ahead of yourself and keep your feet on the ground. Humility is the most important thing in any personal or business instance.

Latest Kokomo III Sail Yacht Delivered To Her Owner

By B. Roberts

Having sailed the Hauraki Gulf last week, completing one of her several sea trials, the third and largest 58.4 metre Kokomo was delivered to her Australian owner a few days later.

After carving through the calm waters, the stunning sailing yacht Kokomo left the crew who put her to the test last Thursday wanting more.

Kokomo proved her seaworthiness, speed and sheer quality by sailing upwind in 20 to 25 knots. Kokomo is the third in her new owner’s fleet. Built by Alloy Yachts, with design by Dubois Naval Architects and Redman Whiteley Dixon, Kokomo surpasses her predecessors as a high performance sailing yacht that has evidently proven her mettle.

At 58.4 metres in length, Kokomo is the largest sailing yacht to be built by Alloy Yachts, holding the tallest mast ever made by Southern Spars and the largest set of sails ever built by Doyle Sails from New Zealand.

A little place called Kokomo.

Published 05 December 2018

Lang Walker

Miriam Cain goes ‘down to Kokomo’ to talk to the Australian superyacht owner and property developer Lang Walker about his idyllic South Pacific island retreat.

When you hear the name Kokomo, probably your first thought is the well-known Beach Boys hit from the 1960s. However, while the song Kokomo may well be the perfect soundtrack to a breath-taking desert island hideaway, it pre-dates the Beach Boys by some margin. Kokomo Private Island not only sits on the other side of the world to the one the Beach Boys sang about but is actually named after Australian superyacht owner Lang Walker’s first dinghy, which he christened at the age of 10, some decades before the song was released.

At the time, the young Lang Walker could never have imagined that the name he chose for his 10ft craft would become part of a yachting dynasty that has culminated in a 58.4m (191.6ft) super-sloop, or that it would also come to grace his very own private island. And yet the happy coincidence means that the evocative name simply couldn’t be more appropriate for this private Fijian island retreat, given that it's just about the closest thing to paradise that most people can imagine.

Private island paradise

Walker spared no expense when building Kokomo Private Island. Unlike his usual strategic financial investments made in his property business, the idyllic South Pacific island retreat was a passion project, pure and simple. Located on the edge of the Kadavu island group, just off mainland Fiji , the island is isolated enough to feel like you have escaped the rat race of 21 st century life yet connected enough to be accessible and also to cater to your every desire.

Surrounded by the Great Astrolabe Reef, one of the largest barrier reefs in the world, the island since its launch has become one of the world’s ultimate high-end destinations. Developed with a focus on sustainability, the 57-hectare (140 acres) island has been transformed into an extraordinarily luxurious tropical retreat, dotted with pockets of rainforest and long stretches of white sand.

Superlative service

As a superyacht owner, Walker understand the importance placed on superlative service, privacy and luxury by discerning travellers. The island is run just like a yacht, albeit with a greater number of guests and staff. Accommodation comprises five stand-alone private hilltop residences with views over the South Pacific, 21 beachfront villas, all with their own pool and garden, and an owner’s beachfront residence.

Gastronomic delights

The cuisine on the island is very much a farm-to-table affair, with most produce either coming from the island’s own farm or locally sourced from surrounding waters and neighbouring islands. 'Fiji is not renowned for its cuisine, but we wanted to buck this trend and provide our guests with a six-star gastronomic experience, using the freshest ingredients available,' explains Walker. 'Guests also have the opportunity to catch their own dinner, with fishing trips on offer from the resort.'

Underwater world

With the Great Astrolabe Reef just offshore, visitors will discover a rich diversity of marine life while diving, snorkelling, kayaking or fishing in one of the world’s most beautiful natural reefs. 'Whether experience divers or complete novices, we cater for all abilities because we are a five-star PADI dive resort, offering daily excursions to the surrounding and outer reef,' says Walker. 'The Outer Great Astrolabe Reef provides the more adventurous guests with the opportunity to swim with manta rays and turtles, and even spot whales.'

Rest and relaxation

The resort is set up for both family groups and couples. In the privacy of your own villa it feels like you could be the only person on the island, but there’s also a whole host of activities on offer, including the island spa with traditional Fijian treatments, and private meditation, yoga and Pilates classes.

Child friendly

There are facilities for kids, from infants to teens. The kids club and two main pools are set away from the main restaurants and pool so that children can make as much noise as they like without furling any feathers. What more could you ask for?

Length overall: 58.4m (191.6ft)

Built: 2010, Alloy Yachts, New Zealand

Guests: 10 in 5 cabins

Marquette Yacht Club teaches kids lifelong sailing skills

M ARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - The Marquette Yacht Club helped junior club members and their families get out on the water on Wednesday evening.

Boat owners volunteered their vessels to take kids out for real sailing experience.

Michael Twohey, Marquette Yacht Club commodore, said hosting events for kids helps instill the love of sailing in the next generation.

“It’s the future of the club really,” Twohey said. “To continue to teach these kids and bring them up through sailing, and hopefully someday they’ll want to join the Yacht Club.”

Rah Trost, Youth Sailing School director, said it’s a rare opportunity for the kids to get to sail with their families and with these other experienced sailors.

“We think it’s really fun for them to be able to get out and sail with some seasoned sailors, and enjoy a beautiful night and hopefully pick up some tricks or skills that they didn’t know about earlier,” Trost said. “It’s a learning experience but it’s really a nice opportunity for sailors to meet sailors.”
