News: Feadship Launches 58M "Najiba"

58-meter "Najiba" Launches At Feadship
​

The first superyacht of the new year has been launched and earlier today at Feadship in Aalsmeer, the 58-meter "Najiba" was towed from her construction hall. Her name meaning 'Noble' is easy going in rolling off the tongue and the experienced owner admires the vessel's many characteristics including the exterior lines by Philippe Briand and modern-sophisticated interior by Christian Liaigre.

The overall design is reminiscent of perhaps one of the more recent previous launches by Feadship, the vessel that will be come the new "Lady S". Long bows and straight stems are the order for the designers in recent times from Feadship to OceAnco's latest delivery -"Bravo Eugenia"- extended waterline length and efficiency go hand-in-hand. Project manager Peter Wilson said, "They -the owners- had seen Feadship quality in other yachts, hence the long-held dream to develop one of their own. Even so, the owners and their extended family could not believe their eyes when the final result was revealed to them this morning".

Not alot of technical information about the yacht is available at this point but it is known that the owner partnered with Vitruvius Yachts and of course Philippe Briand's design is perhaps easy to notice. In build she was known as hull 699. The owners operated a few yachts before this one but it was a dream for them to own a fully-custom Feadship and this is the result of that desire. They also wanted to retain so European design influences that they cherish. Sleek and minimalist exterior lines with a detailed, high-end interior describes this new Feadship.
