80-meter "Excellence" Launches At Abeking & Rasmussen
Over the weekend, German custom superyacht builder Abeking & Rasmussen launched their latest superyacht. Since the vessel started construction, the design has been on the watch-list of everyone in the industry simply because it is different from the main lot of yachts being completed. She was built as hull 6505 and sometimes referred to as Project 'Intensity'. One of the more distinguishing features of this vessel is its reverse bow. We have not seen a complete reverse bow (on large builds) perhaps since M/Y "A" and M/Y "Predator"...

15 Years of Rogues!
We started a thread about ugly boats back in 2005. Since then, the thread has enjoyed hundreds of contributions to our collection of derelict, disproportionate, ill-designed yachts that aren't so easy on the eyes. We call them 'Rogues' and in most cases, that's the wave they should be hit with! Grab a cup of coffee and maybe some liquor too...
