Both of whom worked closely with the owner to conceive a design that is elegant, masculine and in strict harmony across all deck spaces. Polished stainless steel was the choice material for all structural areas, including the pillars, stairs and base of the eight-metre pool, located on the main deck. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/61" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RWD (Company)">RWD</a> also made great use of glass.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215776/image/large-10221a92c652c7ea3cdff83213cd2c50.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215776"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1107" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Peter Marino (Company)"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215753/image/large-84e661ca41dcb76f5d50f769f4bb5907.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215753">Peter Marino</a> headed her interior design and configured her with five staterooms: a complete owner's deck, between the bridge and main deck, and four further guest suites on the main deck.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7546" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Juice71.1m (233'3&quot;)Feadship2022">Juice</a>'s other standout features include a large beach club, a lower deck cinema and a gym on her sundeck.

71m Juice yacht launched by Feadship

The 71m Juice yacht was launched by Feadship in Amsterdam this morning.

Exclusive: 71m Feadship yacht Juice launched

Approaching its 2021 delivery date, the 70.9-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> project 820 that is currently under construction in Amsterdam received its single-piece carbon composite sundeck structure that will be placed on top of the vessel’s aluminium superstructure. The structure was built and delivered by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6082" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vabo Composites (Company)">Vabo Composites</a> in the Netherlands. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/119511/image/large-348a437770ea2302ea3c6b0a75d09926.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/119511"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/177733/image/large-d5ccf18a492f3c9e6a03e9740a7cb6e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/177733">Despite measuring 23 x 11 x 5 metres, the lightweight section was built at a 40% weight reduction compared to an aluminium alternative, keeping the vessel’s centre of gravity as low as possible for enhanced seakeeping capabilities. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/177730/image/large-2eb468a866101769af4b402157637320.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/177730"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/119508/image/large-71d99289f47f7c4101eddb75f128a46c.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/119508">The structure not only serves as the sundeck portion of the yacht, but will also carry the ship’s mast that houses the onboard communication and navigation systems.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/177728/image/large-aa16751160e6d26fe9a6c0fbb0d47771.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/177728">Project 820's custom tenders are stowed beneath the yacht's flush foredeck and launched via two gullwing hull openings. The upper decks are glass-heavy in its design and will incorporate several large flat and curved glazed panels to create a real connection to the outdoors and deliver unrestricted views from up here.&nbsp;

Feadship project 820 in build

The custom Feadship project 820 is on track for a 2021 delivery in Amsterdam, now with its carbon sundeck structure in place.
