By Maarten Janssen New additions to the order book this week include two Limited Edition 212 series by Amels. Designed by Tim Heywood, who also created the Amels 171, of which two yachts have already been delivered (Deniki and Mirage). Heywood designed the 212 as a boldly shaped superyacht, in a five-deck configuration with character that Heywood describes as 'strong, feminine, athletic, and sleek'.
20 Completed yachts were added to our database this week, ranging from the sleek No Name, to the converted Ice-breaker Bart Roberts. Bart Roberts was constructed in 1963 by Canadian Vickers as a Canadian Coastguard icebreaker. She was transformed into a luxury yacht by Tradepower International in Florida, and has served as a charter yacht for several years. Her main salon features brickwork flooring, and a working stone fireplace. Other features on board include a cinema and a large spa pool. The interior has a pirate theme.
Another special yacht in this week's list is The Highlander, Malcolm Forbes famous Feadship. The Highlander is the fifth Forbes yacht, and the largest commissioned. She was styled by the late Jon Bannenberg, who set a new design standard with this yacht. The Highlander is used all year round by the Forbes company, an estimated 6.500 people step aboard each season. The full list of new superyachts: Completed Yachts:
