Horizon V68 Hull Four,"Vindicator" Launched
Horizon Yachts has announced the launching of the fourth hull in the V68 line designed by Jonathan Quinn Barnett. The yacht is called "Vindicator" and is expected to be delivered to a United States based customer. Although this launch is the 4th hull in the series it is the first to feature an enclose bridge design configuration. The enclosed bridge configuration is mainly out of necessity because the owners are from the West coast of the U.S where they would like to extend their cruise even in the colder climate at certain times of the year. An open flybridge design would not yield ample use of this space in those conditions...
