Stuart Larsen of Fraser Yachts has updated us on the sale of the 53.9 metre Columbus 177. The Columbus 177 has now been renamed Prima, and will be launched on monday. She is a serious full displacement 800 ton superyacht, set for delivery later this year.
Prima offers accommodation for up to 12 guests, in six staterooms including a full beam owner's suite with a private balcony, as well as a VIP cabin on the bridge deck.

She will have an16.5 knots cruising speed, with a 5000 mile range.
