By IBI Magazine
New Zealand-based composite technology company High Modulus has begun the structural engineering design of what it claims to be the largest all-composite motor yacht ever built.
High Modulus also say that the 186ft (57m) vessel will be a vacuum-infused production boat and the first composite motor yacht to break the 500 gross ton threshold.
The Kiwi firm is part of an international team that has been brought together to work on the project, which is part of US-based Christensen Shipyards new Custom 186 Series. Owners will be able to customise the design of the superstructure, window shapes, hull colours and interiors.
While all Christensen boats to date have been built in Vancouver, Washington, the 186ft superyachts will be constructed in a new purpose-designed complex in Tennessee, featuring state of the art manufacturing facilities.
