You are right, and since more yachts than we know are built on spec, they go for less risky projects. So we must admire Wally for building the 118' which has all the warning signs, extreme looks, extreme power/speed and extremely expensive for the size. Maybe too extreme? Future will tell but she has changed the perception of a fast yacht from the usual Pershing or Sunseeker themes.

In the past we have however seen spec built Designer Yachts such as Oceana from Bannenberg/Oceanfast. The first one picked up in Brunei, then the more beautiful that became known as Kremlin Princess and Little Sis.

I hope some yards will use this route so not all yachts look like clones...
