    Hi,

    I read the news about this vessel posted by YachtNews.

    The first thing that struck me is who in their right mind would build a 50m yacht that can carry 12 guests and only 7 crew.

    Extract from review: She will have room to cruise and sleep up to twelve guests onboard. Six cabins are arranged to sleep them, the arrangement is in four double cabins and two twin cabins. There will be room to sleep seven crew members.

    The next interesting bit is the casual mention of it'sreported compliance with a Classification Society's rules and regulations.

    She is also being built to RINA standards

    I wonder if the Owner has any previous experience or will he be one of those stuck with a lemon and out of yachting very quickly.
