Double-curved glass has been used on Eco by Blohm+Voss. Not without initial problems. On the Marco Polo project, I think you should consider it a...
If I recall right, the second 118´should be with just diesel engines at a much lower price than the first with gasturbines. Still they seems to be...
Honestly, I don´t know if this is a misprint? In the specs they say 40 knots top speed with twin 1.500 hp engines. It may have reached 45 at full...
I think this is a realistic development from the 118´. They can not build yachts that doesn´t sell. This is a yacht I could think of having...
Hi Andy, This is not the right place (thread) to discuss this, but there are a few things to consider. The crew is often more important...
The speed is the top speed at different loads at the first trials. Fast enough for me. I also noticed that they have now improved the 90-foot...
I have no experience with those two shipyards, but a lot of negative experience from others when it comes to responding to e-mails and contact...
Yes Catmando, We were building very light boats in the past. A 24-footer could weigh in at under 100kg and we could put on a V8 racing...
Thanks for showing us your little darling! With that power you must be brave, is it approaching 100 knots? We had a 25-foot monohull with 700hp...
Which kind of VP is fitted? Big or small block, alu or composite drives?
Yes, I agree on that, most owners wouldn´t even dare to build a large one-off sailing yacht. But if they like what they see in a Perini, a Jongert...
Thanks Joe, This ketch was designed for an experienced owner who, like me, don´t like to have a lot of guests onboard. He never charters so...
Hi Joe, Glad to have you onboard the YachtForums. I must say that I am surprised that sailing yachts are still outnumbered by the motoryachts?...
I can only say that we are all waiting for some of these projects to be seen, but for now little is known of what is for real and not... This...
Hi Ben and Kelly, For once, I can not follow what you are saying? Sure most boats have different hull shapes for different purposes, or are you...
As you say, crew rotation has very much to do with where and how a yacht is used. In the merchant navy you have it and most swedish captains are...
Yes it is sad. Some crew mistakes for sure, as everywhere in real life. Also some bad designs/constructions. And many yachts kept in a bad shape...
Thank you for the comments! The big windows in the hull are also balconies to the guest suites, why portholes can not really replace them....
170 m + 122 m Pandora Some of you have asked for a picture comparing the two Pandora´s, and since they look alike I can understand this. So here...
If you just continue to add details, she will probably come out right. The lines are a bit like http://www.gentryeagle.com/ which isn´t bad. A...
