Update On Bering 70 Construction
Construction on the first hull for the Bering 70 trans-oceanic yacht is going apace. Fitting out of spaces is well underway and the structure in general is more-or-less completed. Meticulous work is ongoing to prepare the yacht's surfaces for paint and other finishing materials. Bering says they are looking to launch the first Bering 70 in September. Great care has been taken in designing the bow of the Bering 70. Bering comments that a reverse-raked bow is seldom seen even in contemporary or traditional designs. The absence of a large overhanging bow reduces the reserve buoyancy that creates the lift/pitch in an approaching wave. This allows the bow to slice through the waves rather than ride up and over them. The result should be a much more comfortable ride for those onboard...

New FD85 Motoryacht Unveiled By Horizon Yachts
This new yacht that Horizon Yachts just unveiled appears to depart from their regular way of doing things in terms of exterior design. The design of the new FD85 looks reminiscent of another builder's yachts, think Arcadia and no we are not referring to Greece.

In a classic tale of stepping up to the occasion, the owner's of one of the latest Nordhavn had their order already in for hull 4341, however, after taking a visit to the South Coast shipyard they fell in love with an N52 that was in the process of being readied for shipment.
