Completed: Westport 40M "Gene Machine" megayacht

Westport completes 40-meter "Gene Machine" megayacht​

The latest member of the Wesport 130 series has been completed by the American yacht builder. She is the fifth 130-foot hull in the newly re-designed and restyled original 130 series. If you were to include all of the 130hulls, this latest one would represent the thirty-third.

She was launched at the very end of last year (2010) and completed earlier this year. Hull 4005 has been christened as "Gene Machine" following, "Namaste" (4004), "Mustang Sally" (4003), "Aphrodite" (4002) and the first hull, "Miss Michelle".

Gene Machine has been manufactured in composite materials like her sisters. The design is by Taylor Olson, William Garden on the naval architecture while the interior was in-house by Westport. She is powered by twin MTUs with a top speed of 24 knots. On the inside, a maximum of ten guests can be slept in four double cabins and a master. Hull number 4006 is expected to launch and be completed this year as well.
