This is protective film on her hull or the hull still needs to be painted? I can see some blue on the lower superstructure.
Built in the same shipyard we launched the 75m 'Leander G'. I spent many, many months there. By heck, it's cold there in winter. We had to leave before the canal froze over, that pushed the up the splash date vastly.
Meh, I don't like it when designers/owners think a certain type of vessel should have a certain type of look. There are quite a few great looking, modern explorer concepts that could be built.
Can’t get enough of this one! I hope these type of hull designs like A and this will be more common in the future.
During a sea trial on the Baltic Sea, a fire on board had apparently broken out. It seems she is currently located in the shipyard near Blohm and Voss in Hamburg...in good company. https://www.hafennews.de/Fotos/Werft.jpg Here the few words about the incident: https://www.hafennews.de/expeditions-yacht-shackleton-in-hamburg/
The engines are under repair and the damage is being repaired. A publication ban is imposed because it is a legal process.
