I believe the yachts we cover deserve this. A novel could be written on most of these builds… but the time to do this isn’t a luxury we have.

Whilst whole-heartedly agreeing with the above statement, may I suggest that it might not be entirely unsuitable / unimaginable should future in-depth reviews also comprise a very small section (say, 10% of the total article) towards the end, devoted to "what might have been done better (and will be)" for the next build...?! This might involve obviously "off the record" comments from the crew members with some expreience of operating the new yacht, the new owners and even the builders involved. What I'd like to see sometimes are a few photos of the glaringly-obvious faults. Whether or not they consist of a 0.5mm gap in the interior finishes of the cupboards, mooring lines which have to be lead to the tops of the capstans because the fairleads are too high or that navigation at night is perturbed by the lights shining out from the owner's observation deck, 1 deck above the bridge...?!
