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. Project 819 is strikingly similar to a previous Feadship built in 2016 called "Hampshire" at present but was launched as "Vanish"-former YN809-. Project 819 was also known as Project Galina in build as well...

This yacht is on track for completion in 2022 although late 2021 was previously floated as the delivery time frame. The design of Lady Lene is by Guido de Groot and one of the stand-out features this yacht will have is the Hull Vane...
"ROCK"; The 25-meter Explorer From Evadne Yachts
Evadne Yachts is a Turkish builder that most people have never heard of but they have built a few yachts that have given them some recognition on the world stage. For example, their 24-26-meter SUV Class of explorer vessel is catching on especially in a crowded world of pocket explorers.

Three New Paszkowski-Designed Yachts Unveiled By Baglietto
Italian yacht builder Baglietto has unveiled three new yachts in a virtual press conference. One of the new models is an additional model to the ever-popular T-line of yachts. It is a 52-meter model now which offers a bit more space than the 48-meter models as well as a fresh restyling overall. The other two models are new FAST and Superfast vessels which are in the range of 48-meters and 50-meters. In this article though we will focus on the 52-meter T-line which has commenced construction already for delivery perhaps in 2022.

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...
29-meter Bering 92 On Course For Summer 2021

First DOM 133 By Baglietto Commences Outfitting
Italian builder Baglietto has a new range of yachts called the DOM line which is a new form-factor for them and for persons who closely follow all-things Baglietto.

For some perspective, the first model in the DOM line is the DOM 123 and has the name "Run Away" which actually has been launched already...
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...
GC Force 66 By Admiral In Build
Admiral Yachts is presently working on a near 66-meter superyacht which will be completed by 2023. The GC Force 66 is the name of the model of the build and by looking at the exterior we can see it is related to the C Force line in which the yard envisioned to build superyachts of this series from 50 to 85-meters. This slight derivative is 65.9-meters coming closer in length to the C Force 65. There are some differences to the GC Force 66 over the C Force 65 though and recent renderings showcase them...
