New Build: Vitters 45M "Lady B"
Vitters Yachts NLD has been kept pretty busy of late with a number of projects. Their latest to date is the launch and delivery of the beautiful black hulled Nirvana. However, one of the projects they have in build at the moment is the 45M "Lady B".
The Lady B was recently transfered to the Vitters Shipyard undertow a few weeks ago where she will be finished. Expected to launch in 2009, she is another successful design from the boards of the Dubois Naval Architects. Envisioned to be a high performance 45M sloop, she will have a variable lifting keel.
Even though the Lady B has been penned as a performance sailer, her interior and comfort levels have not been neglected. "Comfort however has not been compromised and the yacht will be fully fitted with a high quality, low noise interior," according to Dubois Yachts.
Not just another mid-sized sloop or another launch but one that has been penned to specification and the intent of the owner, who called for a high performance vessel.
