    You and Disco tend to find videos the day or hour they are uploaded. You guys are quick, thanks.

    Thanks for the first live footage of the new 120! She is gorgeous!

    Now the race is on to find some actual photos, not renderings, of her interior to go along with the video!

    Sure wish they would get closer as they are shooting the video.

    Yep that is the only complaint I have about the video.

    I had a quick look at her in the Christensen yacht basin on Sunday. Unfortunately, access is restricted so her interior is not conveniently visible and her current position does not make for photogenic exterior pictures (you can only see her partially bow on or from the main deck up).

    Up close (compared to Aghassi which is also in the basin) she doesn't look as large as I thought she would.

    Thanks for the update!

    Hopefully they are finishing up the interior "decoration" and will be taking some inside shots to release in the not too distant future.

    While she's out for sea trials ... and they have the helicopter - why not get away from protected waters and let us see how she does in blue water? Presumably she will do well, I don't think OA has anything to worry about. As in most advertising it's what's unsaid or unseen that is what's real.

    Google this "map 4400 SE Columbia Way Vancouver, WA 98661" (set to "Satellite" and zoomed out) and you will probably see why the initial trials were not ...

    Rodsteil pretty much nailed it with his comment.

    The Christensen yard is about 115 miles from the ocean, so it's not like they can just zip on out there for a quick photo shoot in the big waves.
