Has anyone heard anything more about this vessel. She is a newcruise design and has similar lines in a way.. to the 777. After her launching/floatout, all news seemed to dissappered about her. She should soon reemerge.. because it has been months since we last heard or seen.
Launch of Project 778 The Nobiskrug Newcruise Design project 778 has been launched today! She looks awesome, silver gey hull with black pinstripe boot, grey underwater hull and white superstructure.
The 778 is a really unique looking boat the combination of straight and curved lines seem to not work with me. I'm interested to see here interior and if it is as contemporary as 777 is.
Here is a pic that was taken by Bik3man of the 778 at the 2007 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). The real yacht does look everything like the model. I think Carl took a pic of it at the FLIBS too. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1437569596&size=l And here is the front page to the photos of all the models Carl (YachtForums) took at the FLIBS Scroll down and you will see it http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/general-yachting-discussion/7967-2007-flibs-yacht-display-models-4.html
Love the open, spacious top deck. They didn't break it up with a sky lounge cabin, which seems to be the fashion these days. Kelly
According to CastleRock, the name of the 778 is the Siren. She also seems to be on her way to conduct sea trials.
I have to take back my statements after looking at more photos of this really nice boat. It definately is bold and the heli pad is ingenious. Why hasn't any other yacht included a pad in this location?
Maybe because, many have never been willing to step outside of the boundaries of the norm. The norm is usually a big square/rectangular aft deck dedicated for a helo. On Siren, it is different, it is basically the landing zone.
