Recent 100M Lurssen Projects

one more 130m+ read ***************

Well in due time we will for sure know. Up until now I've never heard of or seen any renderings of Project Lighting..

Judging by that video I say she has to at least be 150meters..

Ah okay thank you for the clarification.

I think the new project is "Redwood", 146m project "Sassi" was already moved into the floating drydock after the launch of Thunder and is due to next year. Never heard of project "Ligthning" but came across project "Sherasheda" anaother 130m yacht that is going to hit the water 2019.

Interesting observation from the last three Lurssen boats we have seen (Thunder, Shu and now Redwood/Lightning): all three make significant sacrifices in aft outdoors guest space in order to accommodate the aft helicopter pad, the same thing is visible on Dilbar and the 110m Feadship 1007.

This seems to be a trend in the market and suggests a significant desire from owners to be able to use helicopters to access their yachts whilst underway.

As an aside, it may be the case that Thunder, Shu, and Redwood/Lightning are all based on the same technical platform?

Do you mean that as in outdoor guest space or indoors, in either case I think the sacrifice is minimal given the tremendous length and volume the yachts you mention have. If anything I think most megayachts aside from a few (Luna as an honorable mention to explain my point) lack outdoor guest space given their huge size.

Outdoors, specifically such an arrangement sacrifices the sun-deck as seen on yachts such as Aviva. I agree with you about the lack of outdoor space though, what we have seen on recent large yacht launches is an obsession with privacy that has translated into indoor space instead of outdoor space.

I agree the stern is absolutely massive! When it all gets put together she will be one MASSIVE vessel.
