The bow-section of a new Feadship has been seen out in the open after leaving a fabrication shed in Rotterdam. Absolutely nothing is known about this project. The bow will be towed to Papendrecht to be welded to the aft section of the hull. The near 3,000 GT vessel is perhaps going to be ready in 2024. It has a more conventional steel hull and will have an aluminium superstructure.
I'm not 100% sure yet with the new superstructure seen last week destined for a 92-meter Feadship is the same vessel this thread was started for. The whole hull has been launched now and will be towed to have the superstructure joined. Nothing is known about this new Feadship except that the internal volume is on or around the 3,000 GT mark.
UPDATE: Here is a look at the launch of the hull... seems I was on the right track. LOA of 91.5-meters and 16.8-meter beam.
This is the successor to Drizzle. Her Spanish owner is building bigger… I guess we can expect yet another very tastefully designed RWD interior! Looks like there might even be space for a pool on the main deck aft and a large beach club below.
The spanish press were the first to report about Ortega stepping up in size: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ex...orte/2021/11/24/619d11d9468aebac4d8b45f1.html
Hull 1012 launched today. Dark blue hull looking like a larger Lonian in exterior. This thread has been floating around she is the new "Drizzle"...so we will see.
Here she is... Delivery is set for July. She is the first Feadship to carry full Hybrid Electric Class notation. Therefore there are a pair of main engines that are connected to fixed-pitch propellers via shafts. Additionally, electric motors each rated at 560 kW in concert with 1 MW of Li-ion batteries offer the hybrid element to the yacht's power. The 'e-motors' work as shaft generators to produce electricity to help run the hotel loads as well as replenish the battery bank. Additionally they can serve for low-speed navigation while the generators or batteries generate the required electrical power.
Excellent video and excellent yacht. Loved the in action shots throughout the video. Seems to handle well.
Very nice, but i do prefer Lonian’s superstructure and mast design. Put that on Drizzle lower decks and that’s my dream combo
Already back to the Netherlands…. Very interesting for a brand new yacht that is just barely one year old.
Remember the yacht will be under warranty still and sometimes there are small bits and bobs that might have to be tidied up that could have waiting until the owner got a season of use out of it. It could easily be a case of simple warranty work.
