She has a length of 110 metres and has an exterior design by Tim Heywood with an interior by Glenn Pushelberg. Whilst the yacht was under construction, she was sold to her current owners, who previously owned an Amels, with the same name, now called Lightning. Radiant is kept very private, no images or details about her Yabu Pushelberg styled interior have ever been released.

The season of winter refits started at full steam at Amico &amp; Co, and actually many are the yachts which decided to spend these months in the Genoa yard. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/123529/image/large-c1dd6f8367dc186762754adc389a3d20.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/123529">First to arrive in the yard were two sailing yachts belonging to the Mirabella fleet : Mirabella and <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1102">Mirabella III</a>, two twin hulls which came for maintenance work before starting a new charter season in the Caribbean. Then arrived M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1372">Radiant</a> (Amels 52m) which is going to be fully re-painted. Radiant had been hauled by using the powerful 550 tons travel lift of the yard and in less then 2 hours the vessel was positioned into one of the seven painting sheds. In October the arrival of three big sailing yachts: Rebecca (43m ketch), <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/202">Esense</a> (Wally 143) and <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1163">Visione</a> (Baltic 147 - 45m sloop). But at the beginning of this new winter season the most important job is surely represented by <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/141">Felicità West</a>, a 64m Perini Navi. Amico &amp; Co was chosen by <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/141">Felicità West</a> managers in order to re-paint the hull, the superstructure, the masts and the boom, as well as the checking of propeller shafts and rudder stock and whatever required by Lloyd’s Register to renew the five-year class certificate. During the Genoa Boat Show Amico &amp; Co inaugurated the brand new offices inviting authorities and press to a cocktail party. The offices are on the top of the new 1000m2 painting shed from where is possible to admire a wonderful panorama. In November Amico &amp; Co will attend with its own stand the METS, the Dutch fair trade specialized in nautical equipment and services. Amico &amp; Co is also the official repair and refit sponsor of the Global Superyacht Forum and Alberto Amico, Managing Director of the yard, will be one of speakers taking part to the round table discussing topics as the planning and the management of refitting works.
