French Yacht designer Christian Liaigre has passed away at the age of 77. Some of his notable design work aboard superyachts include on recent builds like the Feadship "Najiba" as well as super sailing Alloy yacht "Vertigo", the Perini "Rosehearty" and"Seahawk". He even has work on a Royal Huisman yacht currently in build. Of course his expertise wasn't limited to yachts but since this is a yachting forum we remain on this course.
Wow... sorry to hear. It's interesting that sometimes when these icons and stalwarts of our industry pass on most never feel much because most never had a relationship or a friendship with them. It is so different when you interact with them regularly and then find out they are not here anymore.
