Feadship News

Indeed "Rock It" rocks! There are some characteristics similar to what we have seen on the previous collaboration between Sinot and Feadship, the F45 and F39. For example the 'hardtop' on the sundeck.

I really liked the F45 line but I always thought they were a tad to short in the aft portion. I am looking forward to seeing a side shot and aft shot of her. Some of the lines sort of remind me of the 50m Heesen class consisting of Satori and Monaco Wolf.

I believe she will just have a single side loaded tender, similar to how Como's tender and Lady Christine's tender configurations are.

I always thought the F45 looked like half a superyacht! I was intrigued by the semi-custom approach by Feadship until I walked through one of the F45's in-build during a HISWA tour. It had one of the most chopped-up interior layouts I've ever seen. I took it off the list of boats we would write reviews on.

Some more photos of her launch.

I've been looking at some sites and comparing she certain Feadship builds are supposed to be launched. Some say 2014 and others say 2015. Below is the list of hull numbers and lengths set to be delivered in 2014/15. Has anyone heard of some of these coming out of the shed soon (besides 687)?

808 - 101m - 2014 (but heard 2015 in an interview)
1005 - 92m - 2015
686 - 84.5m - 2014
809 - 67m - 2015
810 - 57m - 2015
689 (apparently named Madarine) - 44.8m - 2015

With six deliveries slated for this year or next year, it seems like quite a busy schedule.

Yeah I have also heard that 801 might be pushed back to 2015. Although hull and part of the superstructure arrived at the Feadship yard in June 2012.

Just based on how Feadship or Lürssen did it on similar project in the past I would doubt we will see the launch of the 84m 868 this year more likely spring 2015. Hull and superstructure arrived at the shipyard in October 2013.

Spending 15-18 months or even more for painting, outfitting etc. in the shed appears to be common for yachts of this magnitude. "Quattroelle" spent 14, "Solandge" and "Venus" 17 months in the shed.

At the end it is just a guessing and things can change with these highly customized projects. As so often we will have to wait and see.

But 2015 promises to be pretty busy for Feadship indeed.

I feel that 808 or 1005, per when their cascos were transfered, could be launched before year end for finishing. Media personnel went on 1005 during one of the Dutch yacht tours but I don't recall seeing any information regarding the percentage completion of the vessel.

There are some nice new photos and a video of Rock.

ROCK.IT is on sea trials. After seeing both port and starboard aft sides of her, I have no clue where the tender will be located (if she even has one).

She has a 7.00m main tender and a smaller crew tender.

A very nice video of "Gravitas" (former "Battered Bull")

Two identical yachts passed me while they were going to Aalsmeer (de Vries)

Anybody knows what models these are?

Probably the three 30m they are doing.

Yes.

I heard that nr3 has been cancelled.

I've found this video about the building process at Feadship. If you stop it at 0:33, you can see deck plans
of various projects (686, 1005, etc.). Looks like project 686 has a serious swimming pool.
