Photo: Hoek DesignConstruction began shortly after the yard signed a deal with the owner in September 2017. Featuring naval architecture from Dutch design firm Hoek Design, the aluminium-hulled sailing yacht will be built to Lloyd’s special service craft rules. Three cockpits, one for the owner (located aft), a crew cockpit forward, and the main cockpit amidships along with a carbon rig (in-boom furling) are set to be outfitted before the yacht’s delivery in late 2019.
