Thanks for the preview, she looks really good and I'm looking forward to the review proper!

One small thing - she is showing a 'port' light on her starboard side in the renderings. Is there any particular reason for this?

Hi,

The same colour is shown on the port side too.

This should give you some insight to some of the mistakes regularly made by those doing the rendering who might have no marine experience and those doing the styling who likewise might have no real marine experience.

True, but this is the same picture that is mirrored. You also read the "NAME" mirrored...

Well spotted Lars!

Thank you.

Guys,

The artist behind the rendering isn't at fault. I flipped the shot horizontally in Photoshop to better facilitate YF's lay-out. I had an hour to put the preview together yesterday and take it live on the splash page. I should have touched-up that nav-light. My bad.

that preview is pretty cool, in the main facts i like that ship, but there are several points where i can't understand those designers like: why isn't there a heligarage? ice class hull and no heli garage? think of those bad-ass weather in ice regions.
three storie master suite, but for those who really need the overview isn't even a good place found. this ship isn't really build for "ice class"

when i think of ice-class i'm thinking of a ship like this one:

While I like the looks, it's my understanding that superstructures have been pushed aft in order to reduce the vertical motion felt from the wheelhouse on down while underway in heavy seas (ostensibly the purview of the expedition yacht).

What's the purpose of moving things back forward if the owner/guest area - as well as all operational areas - is going to end up pitching (and perhaps rolling) more as a result? Is it purely aesthetic at the expense of function?

I was lucky enough to see advance plans of this beast - I can assure all that it is quite a piece of kit and the guys building it are on the ball. Commercial yard used to research ships and naval vessels, not quite sure what the finish will be like though. As for ice class these guys are used to it.
