There is a unique chance for you to own her because there is no owner in the loop as yet -she was built on spec-...
Feadship Prepares To Launch 70-meter Superyacht "JOY"
Dutch custom superyacht builder Feadship is on the cusp of launching another superyacht. She is a 70-meter four-deck yacht called "JOY". The design offers firsts for Feadship in terms of the partnership. JOY is the first Feadship to feature an exterior design by design house Bannenberg & Rowell and also the first to have an interior penned by the Indigo Studio. One thing that you will immediately notice onboard this yacht is the sculptural value of the design. The superstructure ceilings and overhangs are chamfered to allow more light into the interior rather than the conventional flat edges...

38-meter Sloop "Dahlak" Hits The Water At Perini Navi
Italian builder Perini Navi has launched the 38-meter sloop “Dahlak”. Remember the very well-known race yacht "P2"? So you get some perspective, Dahlak is a near sister to her . The latest 38M design flies off the design boards of Philippe Briand Design. The high-efficiency, deep-drafted lifting keel and rudder give the helmsman plenty of control in tight upwind work, as well as in high-speed, broad reaching conditions. Dahlak’s hybrid carbon fiber mast is fitted with full composite standing rigging, which towers 51.5-meters above the water, and offers a sail plan surface area of over 1,870 square meters ...

33.5M Feadship "Kamino" ; "Moon Sand Too" Delivered

Principal dimensions are 33.5-meters LOA, 7.9-meters BOA and a 1.8-meter draft. Kamino is powered by twin MTU 16V2000 M93s and has fuel tanks for approximately 25,000 LT...
