Fort Lauderdale Int'l Boat Show Preview

We're excited to present three new Superyacht designs at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show later this week. Two expedition yachts will be presented in partnership with Hakvoort Shipyards. 

Last month we showed off our design for a 45 meter expedition yacht in Monaco (see earlier blog entry), which sparked a lot of interest, and requests to see a similar design in a 60 meter envelope. Here she is.  Full specifications and brochure available here.  





We'll also be showcasing our new 44 meter Performance Schooner, developed in partnership with Derecktor Shipyards. The Performance Schooner is the very definition of performance without compromise. 

The schooner rig allows for a flexible sail plan that can be optimized to a wide range of wind speeds while reducing both sheet loads and rig height. The appendages are modern yet easy to drive.  The result is a vessel supremely comfortable on a cruise, yet quick and aggressive on the race course.

See more on this exciting new design here.


Hope to see you at the show!
