This morning the second Feadship SL39, Kathleen Anne, was christened at the Royal De Vries shipyard in Aalsmeer. Although Kathleen Anne and the first Feadship SL39, Ocean Mercury, are sisterships there are many differences between them.

There is already a difference in the exterior lines; while Ocean Mercury was designed by De Voogt Naval Architects, the exterior lines of Kathleen Anne were designed by Guido de Groot.

The interior of Kathleen Anne, hull number 676, was designed by Bannenberg Designs, who also designed the interior of the Feadship De Vries build Predator. The third SL39 will be launched next year and she is available for sale.

The SL39 is the second semi-custom series by Feadship, the first series is the F45 Vantage at the Royal Van Lent yard. Both series offer clients a range of different interior styles, and with the SL39, clients can also choose from a range of different exterior styles.
