    I just watched an episode of Vripack that is building a yacht in China called "Star". But my god those Chinese make mistake after mistake. I am convinced never to building a boat over there.......at least a custos build that is.

    This look very interesting but looks so much as being sponsored in my book by the Dutch yachting industry....
    As fas as I Know they are not the only place building super yachts; how about Italy, USA, England, Turkey, and the rest....

    Arlinde found an episode, but placed it under Hakvoort news.

    Watching the episode with Balk shipyard
    With the building of the "Vorontsov". Very interesting. Let's say it's being built for a (typical big) Russian that can't smile.

    Any idea if this show will come to the states? I have been looking on the discovery channel website as well as Directv's website.

    It's a very well made program. I can't believe that Discovery channel usa wouldn't broadcast it.

    The owner of "Vorontsov" was also saying that he was already busy with a new project. A 141meter wooden sailing yacht.

    Looks sponsored, but still entertaining and interesting/informative imo.

    If they can find enough participating yachtbuilders in Italy/USA/Germany this series could run for years!
