140-meter "Solaris" Launched At Lloyd Werft
The latest build to emerge from the Lloyd Werft facilities is the 140-meter "Solaris". Earlier this month there was progress on the removal of the weave of scaffolding and tenting from around the yacht suggesting the yard was preparing to launch the widely anticipated superyacht. The exact length of this large explorer yacht has been in dispute as she moved closer to launching with different sources suggesting different lengths from 137-meters even up to 145-meters. It does appear her length is closer to 140-meters. Sporting an exterior design by Marc Newson the otherwise contemporary exterior is jazzed up with a prominent fashion plate that rises from the forward midships upper deck all the way up and arches over to meet with the mast. It is surely Solaris' defining exterior design feature. The first image is by yacht photographer Dr. Duu...

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...
Dunya Yachts Selected To Finish Expedition 54-meter Project 'Ulucitcan'
