85-meter Project 'Victorious' Technically Launched
Project 'Victorious' is an 85-meter superyacht currently under construction and has had more history attributed to it before it could even be delivered to an owner.

Navier 27 Electric Foiling Boat
Ever heard of Navier before? There's a good chance that you haven't because this is the name of a Californian start-up. The Navier 27 is their first splash and it's a bold initial offering. Firstly, it's an electric boat and secondly it's an electric foiling boat. While boats and even smaller ships have used foils before, such as hydrofoil craft in ferry and even naval applications and to a lesser extent with the Hull-Vane of Heesen 42-meter build "Alive", it is still not widespread across the industry...

First Hybrid-Solar 26XP Delivered By Numarine
This delivery from Numarine's flourishing 26XP line might be their 12th unit overall but it marks the first hybrid-solar specimen. The exterior is still designed by Can Yalman and looks the same way as the standard 26XP but the keen eye will notice the extra-long hardtop on the aft of the radar arch. This is where the Solar theme in this particular unit comes alive or even electrified because it is the location for the photovoltaic panels. This is the only real visual differentiating feature over the regular 26XP...
New N71 From Nordhavn
On March 17th, Nordhavn announced two new models, the N625 and the N71. The N625 is seen here: https://www.yachtforums.com/threads/news-nordhavn-announces-the-n625.34366/ . The N71 is a modern option for those owners and buyers in the 65-75-foot market. There has always been a thrust on the part of Nordhavn to keep their model line-up fresh and by listening to customer feedback this helps guide the implementation of new features on new models too. The N71 is partly a result of this but it is also a new boat entirely, in fact it is a new hull according to the yard...

A new model has been released by the Holterman yard. She is called the X-54 and in a press release the yard detailed the latest member of the X-line.
