    Hi all.

    New to the forum. I was just doing some "Googling" and found this site. I thought "pretty cool" then I noticed that a few companies listed in the mega yacht forums that I have worked with. I found that very interesting. West Bay Sonship, Bracewell boatworks, Richmond Yachts, Olympic Boat Centers and soon to be employed by Queenship. All since 1997. So needless to say, I have joined and look forward to reading and sharing.

    There is a 120' hull coming from the mold in a couple weeks. Don't qoute me on that as I could be wrong on the length. When I was on tour I paid more attention to the facility. Very clean. I was also surprised to see a West Bay 84' named Kataluma (which I worked on when built by West Bay.) at the dock being dwarfed by the 118' After eight. Those two are there for refit. As far as what is Queenship going to building up to 100feet whereas Cresent Yachts will be building 100' plus. I'm sure members here have heard of the purchasing of the two by WorldSpan Marine Inc. I will be going in to show my face tomorrow. See how things are coming.

    Hey ,thanks.
    Yes the Queenship facility is very nice indeed.
    Wow, 120'. I wonder who's design and what It'll look like.
    The "After Eight" is it that new Northern Marine?
    Have a good first day tomorrow!

    The new AE is 151ft.
    He may be talking about the "old" AE, I believe it's a Westport?, as in the photo.
    And yes...Welcome Spinnaker.

    My bad. The After Eight that is @ Queenship now is indeed the 151'. The one coming from the mold in 2 weeks is 74' and a 70' is going in the water in a matter of hours. They also have 2x50' hulls with decks on for sale at $50.000. Kataluma has now left. Thanks for the welcomes all.
