News: Lurssen 100+M Superyacht Project 'Mistral'

Lurssen On The Cusp Of Launching 100+Meter Project 'Mistral'
​

In two days, German custom superyacht manufacturer Lurssen will launch yet another superyacht. Although the length is not confirmed by Lurssen, they say it is 100+ meters long but we believe it is in the region of 106-meters. They also confirm when the new superyacht is going to launch, Saturday April 16th! Details surrounding the build are tight-lipped as usual but it appears to be an exciting design by Espen Oeino. There is a prominent design line integrated into the hull similar to what Tim Heywood does on many of his designs... the major difference is this 'Espen line' doesn't swoop-down to the anchor pocket to copy blatantly. She will launch from the floating dock 31 months after her keel was laid in 2013. Project Mistral will be delivered later in the year and will be the second yacht Lürssen will deliver in 2016. After her delivery she will depart to the Middle East where she will join a fleet of other yachts. Since the project is confidential, alot of what is being said about project Mistral is speculative. It appears as she has five full decks above the waterline with a helipad on the bow in the image provided by Lurssen. There is also a what appears to be a style bowsprit similar to on the Lurssen built "Kismet" II that we recently reviewed... http://www.yachtforums.com/review/lurssen-yachts-312-kismet-ii-superyacht.26253/
