No significant information is available regarding this newest yacht from German superyacht builder Abeking & Rasmussen but we do know that Project 6507 has started construction. The yard has only released one photo showcasing a keel section as it was lifted in to place.

More Information On 84R From Ocean Alexander
The spotlight has been on the 90R from builder Ocean Alexander since the industry got wind of it a few years ago and through its build and premiere last year in Fort Lauderdale. The 84R as you would expect will follow similar attention when she debuts at the 2019 edition of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). The 84R though will offer a different experience to the client and guests. The interior alone is quite different from the 90R and it needed to be to differentiate itself from her larger sibling...
