87meter Espen Oenio yacht

Are you talking about Valerie...87m, designed by Espen Oenio...?

I doubt he could afford an 87m... maybe 87 feet...?

Far

He must have said it was his favourite yacht, not his yacht. But I doubt Valerie is his favourite as it is a copy-paste from some Heywood and RWD designs. His favourite designs of his own, must be Skat and Silver...

I would hate to think anyone who uses that style of sheer line, are now going to be someone who stole off Heywood. Personally, I think Heywood's quality is in his detail... not his sheerline.

Far

The sheerline is not typical Heywood, but the rounded air intakes on top and the birdbaths on the bridge deck is pretty typical of his.

Lars... we are de-railing this topic

At the end of the day I'm not sure if Espen Oenio is getting an 87m... if he is... I'll try and get a job with his studio

Far

Perhaps this is his dreamboat..? http://www.danishyachts.com/aerocruiser-38II.php

Yes, she is 84 meter (LOA)

I understand a little bit German .

Have you got a link for me?

Justus,

If you translate the conversation, the 87m is a project for a client from the Eastern part of the world, and the "Skat"-style expedition yacht is one that he would build for himself "if he had unlimited funds" (as suggested by the interviewer )

Rod

Sorry,

I misunderstood your comment - thought you meant that he was building it for himself

Haven't read the article yet, but maybe he's talking about Project Freedom (even though that is only supposed to be 84m)...
