"Moss" Launched; Second Ocean Explorer 85
Steeler yachts has launched their first major yacht of 2026 called "Moss". It is actually the second hull in the Ocean Explorer 85 model which kicked-off with a baby-blue hull variant called "Aviso" in 2025. It is actually more of a range as the model comes in the 67, 72 and 85 variants. However, the new yacht unsurprisingly has a hull finish in a shade of green that is akin to the name affixed to the stern. The black accents on the superstructure, roof and underwater hull complement the overall colour scheme...

Pilothouse 46 By Helmsman Trawlers
It is an interesting story how the first hull of the Helmsman Pilothouse 46 came about. After the yard had seen good success with their smaller models such as the 37, 38 variants (pilothouse and sedan) and 43, customers started to ask for more especially in the realm of space and volume onboard. Literally, it is inquiries from customers along these lines that helped move Helmsman Trawlers in the direction of creating the Pilothouse 46...

The Nordhavn N71 Passagemaker
Nordhavn has a vast number of models in its offering to customers and over time the yard refreshes or adds new models to the fold. In the last few years, Nordhavn has added new models like the entry level N41, the N51 , N71 and N80. The N41 has proven to be extremely popular perhaps because it is among the smaller proper passagemakers that customers can see themselves downsizing to or getting their exploration feet wet with. Much larger in terms of volume and also size is the N71 and the yard has been kept busy with the construction of several hulls from this model...
