Update: Moonen Yachts 42-meter "Sofia"

Progress on Moonen 42-meter "Sofia" superyacht​

Construction on the new "Sofia" is going well and quickly. It shouldn't be in the too distant memory that the owner wanted the Moonen flagship to be even larger with a four-foot extension to the stern area over the initial LOA. The difference in length at the stern was to allow storage of a three-person U-boatworx submarine. Sea trials on the submarine will begin in Malta in mid-May while back in Holland the dedicated launch crane is being pre-assembled and tested before final installation onboard the yacht.

Two of the suites are nearly complete giving a better idea of the Art-Line interior concept. Meanwhile, the entertainment system is being engineered and installed, increasing in sophistication all the time to include a full Kaleidoscope video server with Samsung Smart LED TVs and multi-room control (including lighting, blinds and climate control) via i-Pad. And the yacht's atrium will be executed with a custom piece of Concetto art made and supplied by Ceaser Stone in Israel. Sofia has a design by Rene van der Velden and interior by Art-Line. Naval Architecture is by Stolk Marimecs BV. She is expected to be launched in later in 2012.
