News: Feadship Christens 47M Hull 697 "Femke"

Feadship 47-meter Hull 697 Christened
​

Dutch yard Feadship revealed today that it christened its latest launch, a 47-meter classically styled luxury yacht. No name is available as yet but it is presently known under its build number, hull 697. The yacht was built for an owner who is enthusiastic about building a new yacht with all the modern conveniences but still paying homage to a bygone traditional and classical era. The hull is finished in what is described as Midnight Blue and the superstructure in Matterhorn White.

The exterior design appears simple from far away but as you get closer many details reveal themselves. Details like the curved gunwale of the sun deck forward and the cambered teak deck – all discreet characteristics underpinned by superlative craftsmanship. Another element is the lacquered teak handrails in the gangways on both decks – not commonly seen on yachts for quite some time, this graceful nautical feature is staging a comeback. The outdoor seating areas on the main, bridge and sun deck are finished in teak, creating a traditional feel offset by the clean stainless steel and teak stairs connecting the decks. The sliding doors connecting the lounges with aft open spaces have been finished in lacquered teak on the exterior, while the other exterior doors mirror the white of the superstructure.
