    81-meter "Air" before she was completed, transiting. You just have to appreciate how these yachts go from bare bones and steel/aluminum/raw composite to the finished product.

    I´m not sure what it is, but there is something about Air´s profile that doesn´t work, seems vertically compressed, like with low ceilings or soomething, which doesn´t seem to be the case. Is a large yacht on the scale of a small yacht. Maybe those large windows, maybe just being so long but so low in height, is a curious design.

    "Air" is currently passing through the upper Caribbean with destination of Bilabao.

    "Air" is now in the Caribbean last I checked but before coming here this yacht got a full repaint of her special matte black hull at the La Ciotat yard in France. “Matt black paint is extremely delicate,” says Cyprien Milhe, project manager at Monaco Marine. “It requires a careful preparation of the paint and coatings, as well as a continuous application to render the rare non-reflective and soft texture appearance.” Milhe also emphasised the importance of keeping the previous paint from interfering with the new coat as it could ruin the final effect. She was relaunched on December 2nd, 2016 and headed for the Caribbean.

    A quick look at "Air". Interesting to note, look at the above photo and compare how she looks presently.

    I can't seem to find the difference. I will say this however, I do like how this one is a bit different with most pools being on the aft and this one being on the bow.

    The differences was just in the appearance of the hull and as @captholli alluded to the first image was for a staged shoot and so the yacht was clean and photo ready and also the image is edited. The video shows salt all over the hull and the waterline hasn't been scrubbed in a while.
