News: Horizon FD87 Number 12 Goes To U.S Owners

American Owners Take 12th Horizon FD87
​

Horizon Yachts FD series is running strong and the current FD87 is now in its 12th unit with the sale of that hull to American owners. Horizon describes the interior as lined with Walnut woodwork to a satin finish and customized to the new owners tastes. The yacht is presently under construction but in early phases of build at the time of the sale according to the builder.

Hull number 12 will be able to accommodate eight guests in utmost comfort. The full-beam master is on the forward main deck while the other three guest cabins are on the lower deck. If the fourth cabin on the lower deck is not in use on longer voyages it will be able to be converted into a laundry and storage area. This model will have an 'Skyline style' enclosed flybridge for climate controlled relaxation and comfortable navigation for the captain. Although the flybridge is enclosed there is a sliding sunroof incorporated to help open up the area when the weather allows.

Horizon Yachts didn't say what the top speed will be but they did say she will be powered by a pair of MTU 10V 2000 M96L which are each rated at around 1,600 horse power each. They also suggest that she will be fitted with bow and stern thrusters as well as Zero-Speed stabilizers for additional comfort. The owners wanted a swim platform with 2,000 lbs capacity so that suggests they will possibly keep the tender on the platform.
