It’s a blatant copy, that is pretty obvious!!! The only difference between these two drawings is the length, because the height of the deckhouses must be taller on Sensation’s copy. Bling is 350-400 feet long, whereas the Sensation copy is 234 feet in length.
I remember Carl mentioning that the all the guys from Sensation follow YachtForums. Do you think they would gamble on building the world’s largest resin infused mold (
BIG $$$) on a design that has never received any consumer feedback?
Here is the quote from Sensation’s press release on their 71-meter copy…

Using its specialist composite techniques and having started construction already, Sensation Australia will, for its first vessel, produce the world’s largest resin infused luxury composite motor yacht. At 71 meters long (234 feet), with elegant and balanced lines and a top speed of 18 knots, this composite vessel, the largest of its kind ever to be built, will be capable of motoring her 12 guests from Sydney to Los Angeles non-stop and will be the show piece of the Australasian superyacht industry.

It is well known that BLING is everyone’s favorite design on YachtForums.
This whole scenario shouldn’t be a surprise. Sensation was in bankruptcy last year and they couldn’t even finish Maratani-X. It had to be finished by the owner at Broward’s yard.
This is a disgrace! Lars, I suggest you hire an attorney and go after these thieves. And to anyone considering buying a yacht from Sensation, BE WARNED! This is a company that engages in unscrupulous business practices.
Carl, you should remove Sensation’s forum from YF and never give them any exposure again. Or better yet, let’s keep a copy of this thread in Sensation’s forum.
Shame on you Sensation!!! You could have at
least made some attempt to hide the fact that you're copying someone else's work.
