| Oceanco | 127M | "Koru" ex. Y721 | 2022 |

It's most likely the Y 721 project. The hull sections were moved on pontoons to the Zwijndrecht facility (2019?). At that time there were several pictures/videos on the internet, but it seems that they have been removed in the meantime, at least I couldn't find them anymore.

Y 720 was moved to Alblasserdam for outfitting. It's in there in the "old" construction hall.

It will be interesting to see what evolves. Glad he chose a sailing yacht.

But then regardless, why is it that these people have to choose such gigantic ships,...certainly limits their true usefulness.

The 2 you mentioned are just a few. The huge crowd of required crew and support personnel would not be inviting to my enjoyment of a vessel,...my downtime. I once worked as a captain of a 60 foot power yacht for a short time, and the owner would purposefully ask me to 'get lost' when he came down for visits. He enjoyed running the boat himself when he visited.

And the larger the vessel, the much more limited you are in places to explore. Can you imagine finding dock space for such a huge yacht. In many cases you would need to be put in with commercial shipping,.....would that be fun??

What necessity for this huge size,...just to claim 'mine is bigger!!'

I think the original builder of Matese Falcon, Tom Perkins had some answers to that question when he questioned his own project.

I would be much more pleased with a vessel I could invite my wife/girlfriend or a few guest on board for a weekend, or week/month on the water enjoyment.

I think if you are Bezos you don’t want to be at a dock when you are on board. The bigger the boat the more time you and your crew can stay away from shore in comfort.

I am surprised Bezos might be heading down the EOS conventional three-masted schooner route as suggested rather than the 106m Black Pearl three masted free standing dynaRig. The extra engineering required for rigging attachments throughout the hull, plus all the powerful automated sail handling systems, let alone extra crew to operate them would seem to make this a pretty daft option for the worlds richest man. Who on earth is advising him? He should spend a day on Black Pearl and then a day on Eos and then decide.

Two very different yachts. A lot of what you say are moot points for him. Why would he care about extra engineering or crew? He probably just likes that classic look compared to an ultra modern sailer (which, I’d argue would be best to go with some sort of wing design).
