News: Palmer Johnson 48M SuperSport "Khalilah" Delivered

Palmer Johnson Delivers 48-meter SuperSport "Khalilah"
​

"Khalilah" is the name of Palmer Johnson's latest delivery and she is the first unit in the brand new PJ SuperSport Series. Palmer Johnson continues the trend of launching the first hull of a new series in a gold-like paint theme. If you cast your mind back to the first PJ150 you would remember that the first unit in that series was gold painted and interestingly called "O'Khalila". The SuperSport is a new series from the American yacht manufacturer taking in the extensive use of Carbon fiber in the yacht's build. The carbon fiber construction allows Palmer Johnson to attain certain parameters such as light-weight construction, increased fuel efficiency while maintaining higher performance characteristics.

Khalilah is a displacement wave-piercing hull, well, a main hull and two small wave-piercing 'outriggers' towards the aft of the hull. Having the distinction as being the largest yacht built entirely of carbon fiber materials places a feather in the cap of Palmer Johnson. Utilizing MTU 2000 series engines her top speed was designed to be 32-knots. Built as hull 265, Khalilah is 48-meters LOA and has a beam of 11-meters. She has accommodation to sleep up to twelve guests onboard.
