71.5-meter Feadship Project 819 Launches
The near 72-meter Project 819 has been launched in the Netherlands by Feadship. Gorgeous lines by Harrison Eidsgaard punctuate the exterior flow and culminate to formulate a concept that looks familiar to the avid yachting community.

Partially Finished Sailing Vessel Gets New Life At Turquoise Yachts
There is a sailing yacht under construction at Turquoise Yachts...yes Turkish premier builder Turquoise Yachts. That might sound odd that a company that is accustomed to building motor yachts is attempting to build a sailing yacht. Pause your thoughts for a second. The 51-meter aluminium sailing yacht actually did not originate at Turquoise but rather was started at a Dutch yard and Turquoise bought it. She was originally aimed to be a schooner but now will have a sloop rig with Dykstra Naval Architects in charge of that re-optimization...
110-meter Superyacht "KAOS" Redelivered
With the 110-meter "KAOS" having arrived in the Caribbean after crossing the Atlantic from Gibraltar and previously from Lurssen's Blohn + Voss' facility she is set to enjoy the winter months in the region with her new owners. KAOS was built as "Jubilee" in 2017 by Dutch yard Oceanco but new owners since then purchased her and then she underwent significant refit at Lurssen's Blohm + Voss from March 2019 until a few weeks ago. Much of the work was actually carried out on the interior where over 1,500 square meters of interior was redone to the current owner's taste. The exterior too has seen some modification. The original paint scheme is still in tact but exterior modification work can be clearly seen at the aft end of the vessel where Lurssen worked on the main deck and bridge deck aft with styling by Sam Sorgiovanni, integrated into the yacht’s original design...

Second Sirena 88 Hits The Water
The second unit in the Sirena 88 series has been launched. The Turkey-based yard launched the vessel -still wrapped up in protective material-, into the water via travel lift. Even though this is the second hull it will have similarities to the first but still be different enough to show where the yard allowed the owner to add their bit of customization. The Sirena 88 model appears to be selling well with waiting times extending into 2022. The third Sirena 88 should be in the water in the early part of 2021...
