Expect the Exceptional The way things look is as important to us as the way they work. To this end, our superyachts are not merely well engineered or beautiful... they are beautifully engineered. ‘Beauty is more than skin deep’ says the proverb, and this is certainly true at Blohm+Voss. We create refined, beautiful superyachts by examining every detail of the proposed vessel and finding an engineering solution that enhances its efficiency and its beauty.
|8|
Our ruthless pursuit of perfection drives our determination to deliver a cra that is nothing less than exceptional. Throughout the yacht, we apply smarter thinking based on our obsession with quality and our appreciation of beauty. The result is a seaworthy, noteworthy superyacht that delivers the ultimate yachting experience for the owner, guests and crew.

Engineering During our 137-year history we have constructed over 980 vessels and built a vast store of shipbuilding knowledge. The average age of our engineers is higher than usual and many have been with us for most of their careers. Employing such a loyal, well-established team strengthens our policy of building and retaining knowledge inside the company, rather than outsourcing our engineering activity.
At the same time, our valuable bank of knowledge has helped us establish fruitful long-term relationships with the most proficient specialist subcontractors. A benefit of our longevity and depth of experience is that our engineers are adept at reacting to issues that in less knowledgeable hands could scupper a superyacht build schedule. We can turn the most innovative design concepts into smoothly-efficient reality and deal with complex engineering challenges.

Construction To us, construction is much more than the ‘build’ in shipbuilding. It is integrated into every stage of every project, from the initial contract discussions to the pre-delivery sea trials. Working in close cooperation with our engineering, purchasing and project management specialists, our 360-strong construction team helps define time-scales, build techniques and costs. This system works.
| 10 |
The Blohm+Voss yacht voted ‘Motor Yacht of the Year’ in 2011 was hailed by the annual Superyachts book as “A supreme example of the superyacht industry’s design and construction genius”. Genius or not, we have been perfecting our construction skills for many, many years. We pioneered the use of self-combusting engines in grand yachts, we built the first yacht with an anti-roll stabiliser and we built the first yachts divided into multi-compartment sections with centrally operated fire and flood doors.

Project Jazz Project Jazz is a highly individual masterpiece created by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid in partnership with the naval engineering team from Blohm+Voss. Bowing and arching elements create an organic form that pushes the boundaries of yacht design, yet is technically feasible and practical for construction and eďŹƒcient operation.
There is a unique continuity between the interior and exterior areas – opening up layered, panoramic views and providing a coherent and monolithic feeling, as if folded from a single surface. www.blohmvoss.com/en/

Royal Jet, the Abu Dhabi-headquartered, awardwinning international luxury flight service provider, has taken delivery of a striking new 34 seat Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) in the latest phase of its fleet renewal programme. This exciting news comes on the heels of the company’s recent announcement of additions to its leadership team, tasked with guiding the company into a new era. This unique new BBJ aircra boasts a front-end bedroom, eight VIP, eight business class and 18 standard seats, and was received by the company’s Chairman – His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, its new Managing Director – His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Hamad Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, and its new President and CEO – Rob DiCastri. The interior of this one of a kind addition to the fleet was designed by New York based designer Edése Doret, known for his elegant and innovative layouts and for the use of distinctive materials such as the carbon fibre seen throughout this aircra. His design was then brought to life by industry leading outfier Luhansa Technik of Hamburg, Germany, who delivered this exceptional aircra on time and on budget. In terms of amenities, the aircra is equipped with the latest telecommunication and entertainment technology to meet the needs of the exclusive customer base of Royal Jet. This is the first BBJ worldwide with a KA Band Wi-Fi internet system installed, providing large bandwidth which enables services such as Netflix and IP based Live TV and download and upload speeds not seen before in the industry.

This aircra also features Enhanced Vision System (EVS) technology in the cockpit and Royal Jet is the first charter operator in the UAE to receive regulatory approval from the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to use this capability. The EVS system enhances operational safety by using a stand-alone thermal imaging camera that sees infrared energy emiing or radiating from objects and helps pilots navigate beer in poor weather conditions. Royal Jet will take delivery of a second new BBJ – the sister ship to this current delivery – later this month as part of the fleet renewal programme launched two years ago. In association with Boeing and other partners involved in this process, the company will be showing off one of these unique aircra, and possibly both, at the Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) Conference to be held at the beginning of December at Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport.

The addition of these two amazing new aircra to our offering is a result of that consultation, as they have both the long range capability and the passenger and baggage capacity to fulfil various mission requirements, with interiors like no others available in the region.” David Longridge, President of Boeing Business Jets, added, “We at BBJ are thrilled to see this first-of-two new BBJs arrive in Abu Dhabi for service. At Royal Jet, just as they do with their customer base, Boeing Business Jets feels we have a strong and loyal customer, but we know Royal Jet itself has a choice as to which airplanes it buys. We’re honored they’ve chosen the BBJ, and we’re very impressed with their leadership in technology (with the EVS certification, amongst other things) and the innovation seen in the interior. We’re excited to see this airplane, and its ‘sibling’ enter reliable, award-winning service with Royal Jet as soon as possible, and we look forward to showcasing it at MEBAA in Dubai in just over two weeks.”

Rob DiCastri continued, “We are fortunate at Royal Jet to have a very loyal customer base, but we realize we’re not their only choice and so we’re commied to consistently exceeding their already high expectations of us in terms of safety, quality and service. The many partners we’ve been fortunate enough to work with on these aircra have helped us create something special
which will help us do that, and at the same time bring a new and exciting product to the market that we can deliver to various customers utilizing our royal pedigree. Our customers have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this aircra, and we have taken numerous bookings already, with the schedule filling up quickly. Utilization is the key to a successful business in this industry, so we are excited to get this aircra flying and contributing to our boom line. “In terms of our overall business,” he continued, “His Highness the Chairman, His Highness the MD and the entire leadership team at Royal Jet are looking to consolidate our position as the leading VVIP operator in the region, leverage our extensive current capabilities and unlock the untapped potential of the company. This includes further revenue diversification, along with expansion of our VVIP Charter, medical evacuation, aircra brokerage and FBO services. We are commied to growth, but in a smart, efficient way, which will allow us to maintain an unwavering focus on safety and service for the benefit of our customers while continuing our strong record of profitability for the benefit of our shareholders. “In short,” he concluded, “Change is in the Air at Royal Jet.”

Abu Dhabi is a city on the move. Not content with enjoying one of the world's richest oil reserves, the region has recently thrown itself into a massive programme of development. And one of the jewels in Abu Dhabi's crown is the new 5.55kilometre Yas Marina Circuit, which on November 1, 2009, hosted the country's inaugural Grand Prix. It was also the first F1 twighlight race, with powerful lighting ensuring a seamless transition from day to night.
| 72 |
Located on the spectacular Yas Island, the track is set to revolutionise the design of future Formula One circuits. Boasting top speeds of 320 km/h and average speeds of 195 km/h, it features nine right turns and 12 le turns and is one of the few venues on the calendar to run in an anti-clockwise direction.
Designed by renowned circuit architect Hermann Tilke, Yas Marina has a waterfront seing scenic enough to rival the likes of Monaco and Valencia. And with the track wrapping itself around the island's glamorous newly-built marina, there's plenty of mooring space for the paddock's plethora of yachts. Its distinctive design also boasts several innovative elements including the iconic five-star, 499-room Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi hotel, which straddles the circuit; the 60-metre solar powered Sun Tower, which offers unrivalled views for invited guests; and a pit lane which sees the cars exit via a tunnel passing under the track.
LUXURY FORMULA 1
Another world ďŹ rst is that all of the grandstands, including the massive hairpin seating area, are covered to protect spectators from the desert sun, whilst the state-of-the-art pit building boasts 40 air-conditioned garages. Luxuriant comforts and ďŹ rst-rate views are clearly the watchwords for Abu Dhabi race goers.
The track itself was designed with racing in mind. As well as the waterside marina area, there are high-speed sections (including the longest straight on the F1 calendar), tight corners for overtaking, and even a twisty street circuit-style sector. Overall, its diverse elements come together to create one of the longest and most demanding tracks in the world, where close and competitive racing is guaranteed.

Why go? It’s hard to find a more spectacular seing for a Grand Prix than Yas Island, on the eastern side of Abu Dhabi. It’s home to numerous 5-star hotels and the Ferrari Theme Park, and the 5.55kilometre (3.45-mile) Yas Marina Circuit is a suitably glamorous addition to the FIA Formula One World Championship. The track has many unique touches. It runs alongside the island’s spectacular marina; it passes under the new 5-star Yas Viceroy hotel and alongside a new 60-metre sun tower. The exit of the pit lane even crosses under the circuit.
| 74 |
“It's a very impressive facility and the track layout is fun, so it's a great place," says Williams driver Felipe Massa. "With Ferrari World just around the corner, the race has a strong Ferrari flavour." Away from Yas Island, Abu Dhabi has lots to offer. It’s the largest and wealthiest of the seven United Arab Emirates, with a crude oil supply that isn’t expected to run out until the 22nd century. Unlike some of its neighbours in the Gulf, Abu Dhabi has retained its local traditions and charms, making it an enjoyable and interesting stop-off.
LUXURY FORMULA 1
Did you know? Abu Dhabi is the world’s richest city. The average net worth of the 420,000 permanent citizens is US$17 million. Useful tips With the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix being near the end of the season, the weather conditions are not too extreme. Midday temperatures of between 25-30 degrees can be expected, but the grandstands are all covered - a ďŹ rst for a circuit anywhere in the world - so shade is easy to come by.

world luxury | DAILY | Issue 48 |
| 76 |
Where to go? Abu Dhabi has a very cosmopolitan feel and there is something for everyone. There’s an eclectic mix of international cuisine to suit all budgets, starting at the Emirates Palace (for a time the world’s most expensive hotel) down to the cafe culture that prevails throughout the Middle East. For traditional Abu Dhabi cuisine, head to the area surrounding the fish market in Abu Dhabi city. There are plenty of other tourist aractions. If you want local culture, why not head to the camel market in Al Ain or the Abu Dhabi falcon hospital. And, of course, there is the aforementioned Ferrari Theme Park, covering 250,000 square metres and featuring a G-Force Tower, driving schools for children and adults, high-tech theatres and lots of cars on display.
From 2012 there'll be even more of an international flavour in Abu Dhabi, with the opening of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the first Louvre museum outside France. Where to stay? All the best hotel chains are in Abu Dhabi - and many of them on Yas Island - so you can expect to be looked aer wherever you go. Most of the F1 luminaries stay in the 5-star Yas Viceroy hotel, which is just a short walk from the F1 paddock. But for those looking for more modest surroundings, there are cheaper options available in Abu Dhabi city.
LUXURY FORMULA 1
Extended stay Once you’ve checked out Abu Dhabi city, why not head out into the Rub Al Khali desert, which is known locally as 'The Empty Quarter'. Only a short distance from the city limits, you’ll find yourself surrounded by sand dunes. The town of Al Ain is another popular tourist destination. It’s regarded as the spiritual heart of Abu Dhabi, having been built on seven oases and inhabited for more than 3,000 years. It’s on the Tentative List of World Heritage Sites of UNESCO.
Enthusiasts only There’s plenty to see at Yas Marina Circuit, aside from watching Formula One cars. There’s drag racing and an off-road driving centre, and you can test your own skills at a state-of-the-art kart centre. If you think your technique needs some work, there’s even a driving school for you to aend. www.formula1.com/content/fomwebsite/en/championship/races/2016/Abu_Dha bi.html

NARDIN MARINE COLLECTION
Paying tribute to Ulysse Nardin’s rich history with the sea, the timepieces of the Marine collection are the ultimate expression of technical performance and beautiful design. Ulysse Nardin would come to engineer its own renaissance, becoming revered once again for its revolutionary developments in Haute Horlogerie. In 1846, in Le Locle, Switzerland, young watchmaker Ulysse Nardin had a vision of the future. Despite living miles from the sea, he was convinced of two things: a rising demand for marine and pocket chronometers, and his ability to meet that demand.
| 94 |
He was right on both counts, and Ulysse Nardin navigational timepieces would come to set the standard for precision in both civil and military realms, and establish his company for generations to come.By the 1870s, over 50 navies and international shipping companies were equipped with Ulysse Nardin marine deck chronometers, providing sailors instruments for accuracy and eďŹƒciency across trades and continents. When he died in 1876, his son, Paul-David Nardin, took control, ensuring Ulysse Nardin's continued quest for technical innovation. By 1975, the company had 4,300 watchmaking awards to its illustrious name, including 18 international gold medals, as well as a great number of technological patents.

THE YACHT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING... Which is more important: the yacht or the experience? The reason AMELS has become the largest Dutch superyacht builder is because we know it's not just about the yacht, it's about creating the opportunity for shared experiences and wonderful memories with your loved ones. Our repeat clients return to AMELS because they know the AMELS experience is more than owning a yacht, it’s the door to a more enriched way of life.

PERFECT MOMENTS It was at the launch party for their new yacht, when for the first time in many years the owner danced with her husband; that was the moment when she fully appreciated just what fun and joy the ownership of an AMELS yacht would bring to her – and her family. A priceless moment. AMELS owners know that time is your most precious asset and, above all, quality time with family and friends. In the fast-moving 21st century, luxury yachting gives you the chance to win back control over your environment. How would you like to enjoy a place where you can live at your pace, not somebody else’s?

But imagine how much more so when you arrive on your own yacht! This is luxury yachting at its very best, offering the perfect way to enjoy your favourite destinations. Living life, your way, on your terms.
YOUR MASTERPIECE The experiences, the never-to-be-forgoen moments, are more important than the yacht itself. We understand that. But we also know that over time you will fall in love with the yacht herself. We have seen this happen many times. The more time you spend aboard your yacht with your loved ones, enjoying carefree times together, the more you will come to appreciate every tiny detail that went into the design and construction of your AMELS. It all adds up to the realisation that you are siing aboard a masterpiece, your masterpiece. A living, breathing work of art.

When the Amels 272 is launched, not only will she become the largest in the limiTed ediTiONs range, she will be the largest amels yacht ever built. Tim Heywood seized the opportunity created by the length of the hull to draw one of his sleekest profiles yet, the long decks accentuating the beautiful lines, aswell as creating some wonderful outdoor spaces.
| 102 |
With a gross tonnage of 2800 GT, the larger scale makes it possible to create many exciting features on this 83-metre, not least a dedicated owner’s deck measuring42m long with total deck area of more than 300 sqm. it means that the five generously proportioned guest cabins can all be located on the main deck, where they might otherwise be situated on lower deck. Guests will
really appreciate the large windows in their cabins, and being situated on the same deck and just a few steps away from the swimming pool, 5.5 by 3.5 metres. Although the amels 272 will be the largest model in the limiTed ediTiONs range, senior designer Jaap van der Velde says the project size is well within the capabilities and experience of the organisation, as well as the subcontractors and co-makers who all have extensive knowledge of this scale of project. “We are very fortunate that amels is part of the dameN Group, and the fact that we work very closely in marine research and development in ongoing partnerships with universities including the Technical University in del, mariN and TNO,” he says. “We have an
LUXURY YACHTS
incredible synergy with these academic organisations and also with our co-makers and subcontractors, with whom we have built up a strong understanding and close working relationships over many years. “The big challenge for us at amels is that we will never compromise on the aesthetics of the yacht,” says van der Velde. “With a yacht of these proportions we don’t have to do that. in so many ways it gives us much more space to work with.” Looking through the design plans for the amels 272 fills van der Velde with excitement. “The connection between the interior and the outside living areas will work beautifully.
“There is garage space for two large tenders of 11 metres each, and lots of storage space for all kinds of water toys and scUBa diving equipment. We have really enjoyed the design process because the scale of the amels 272 has given us the freedom to create a yacht that can offer almost anything you could hope to experience on a superyacht.” www.amels-holland.com

CHRIST All Christensen yachts are built with the finest composite materials available. Our cuing-edge construction process includes large-scale vacuum infusion coupled with proprietary in-house techniques to create a strength-to-weight ratio seven times stronger than steel and solid laminate. This makes all Christensen yachts true deep water, transoceanic global explorers. The superior strength of infused composite construction is shown in the photo to the right. When balanced between two points on bow and
| 112 |
stern inferior construction methods will cause other hulls to buckle as much as eight inches, while hulls built at Christensen have a barely measurable deflection.
Composite hulls are fully insulated, thus eliminating the “double boiler” effect, especially in warmer cruising climates, which in solid laminate and metal boats results in significant condensation that can lead to corrosion, damage of interior finishes and mold infestation. In
LUXURY YACHTS
TENSEN addition, the foam-cored structure of Christensen construction provides a natural absorption of mechanical and structural energy that significantly reduces shipboard noise transmission and vibration. Fiberglass construction results in significantly less maintenance, freeing the crew to focus on keeping the yacht running like a five star hotel. Metal hulls oen result in blistering, rust, corrosion and the growth of mold. Every captain
and yacht manager knows that the success of the yacht for its owner and guests relies on its crew. With more crew man-hours available to enhance the yachting experience, a composite fiberglass boat offers a distinct advantage in overall success for the vessel.

Woodworking Christensen is known worldwide for the superiority of its built-in cabinetry and woodworking finishes. In cooperation with a client’s designer, the yard’s master woodworkers can turn virtually any species of wood into a superlative yacht interior. All of the shipyard’s painting, varnishing, sanding and buffing takes place in modern shops with environmentally controlled finishing booths.
| 114 |
Metalwork The Christensen metal department is an efficient, modern facility housing the world’s most talented metal smiths. These crasmen create handrails, stairways, anchor pockets and myriad other stainless steel parts that are fit to precision and polished to a mirror finish. Christensen prides itself in the use of only the highest-grade stainless steel stock, resulting in exceptional finishes that will last for the life of the yacht.
LUXURY YACHTS
Stonework Christensen sources the highest quality marble, onyx, quartz, granite and limestone from around the world. Slabs of stone are brought right to our facilities for fabrication. Using modern water jet cuing, sanding and edging machines, the yard’s master stoneworkers transform these raw materials into intricate inlaid floors, bookmatched panels, and handcraed countertops of unsurpassed quality and beauty. Upholstery The quality of the upholstery work at Christensen shows in every stitch. Unlike many yards, which employ subcontractors for the many pillows, cushions and built-in furnishings aboard a worldclass yacht, we work one on one with worldrenowned yacht interior designers to achieve our client’s wishes. As with all of a yacht’s handcraed components, upholstery is standard on every Christensen. www.christensenyachts.com

AZIMUT YACH
One of the first reasons why an owner chooses an Azimut yacht is nearly always beauty. Then, the intrinsic values of the product come into play: its comfort, safety features, level of technology and elegant living solutions. Finally, owners want something more between the time of making their choice and the purchase. They want the boatyard that builds the yacht of their dreams to be able to boast a significant history, to have consolidated a network of services, to reflect a successful image and, above all, to be a sound company.
| 156 |
In all these aspects, Azimut Yachts can deliver results and guarantees of a true industry leader. A luxury yacht has value if that value is longlasting. If its beauty can challenge the seasons. If its style is a source of inspiration for those who are passionate about the sea, and not just a fashion follower. The design of Azimut yachts shapes the Italian essence behind the brand. Each model in the Azimut range reflects the aention to detail and the style excellence of Italian manufacturing.

The construction of luxury yachts requires production efficiency, advanced technologies and an ability to innovate.

Azimut-Benei's R&D Centre develops technologies that are unique worldwide, for an experience at sea that is effortless and safe. In fact Azimut's technologies are always designed to deliver safety and comfort to yacht owners.

Design, technology, materials, components and human expertise are all Azimut hallmarks that meet a higher standard: quality. This philosophy is possible because Azimut has put its income back into the company, over more than forty years, investing in personnel training, technological research, product development and the upgrading of plants and structures. Only in this way has it been possible to be the number one boatyard of choice worldwide for the construction of megayachts for 15 years.

FEADSH ROYAL DUTCH SHIPYARDS
Feadship is one of an elite group of yacht builders that can truly be said to create custom superyachts. Custom means starting every project literally with a blank page. It entails designing a bespoke superyacht that is entirely individual and unlike any other in the world. ‘Custom’ should never be confused with ‘customising’ – which actually involves tweaking an existing platform or concept. That is not our style at Feadship: we work with clients to create a one-off luxury motoryacht that exclusively and

uniquely reflects their character and use. However distinctive they may be, every Feadship ever launched has something in common: An inherent quality that you can only really feel when you step onboard. Traditional values are upheld in every discipline as the yards draw on an unrivalled heritage dating back to the nineteenth century. As time goes by, each Feadship sets a new benchmark for artistry and the use of technology to maximise comfort.

CARTE BLANCHE It is not just a name. It is what you have as a client. Feadship is one of the few shipyards in the world that can produce truly custom-made yachts. Starting from a blank sheet, we create your ideal yacht in any aesthetic style you desire.
And then there are the many other bespoke features both large and small that are inevitable when partnering with a very involved owner who knows exactly what he likes.
COMO On Como custom means an unprecedented use of glass panels all the way round the yacht, sliding windows on the flybridge and main deck that facilitate a wide range of outdoor/indoor scenarios, a radically different mast design, a rotating floor in the main lounge and an exceptionally large refrigeration capacity.
PERFECT CRAFTMANSHIP On Como, perfect crasmanship can be seen in her exterior metallic paint, which was praised by the class association as being truly unprecedented in its beauty. Inside and out, Feadship’s carpenters had a field day making the myriad small details and intricate design features in dark timber. Meeting the owner’s fondness for stainless steel was very challenging in places with countless super-thin strips required.

And the way this has all been blended with white marble to create a compellingly clean interior is, in itself, a true work of cra. INNOVATIONS On Como, innovation is instantly apparent in the pioneering use of glass. The extent of the challenge of using such giant glass structures with such immense curves cannot be overstated. The answer was to place the superstructure glass on top of the metal rather than seing it into it, creating a continuous surface.
The bulwark windows measure almost seven metres in length while the portholes in the hull are the maximum allowed under class for that location. Tests on the laer included dropping a steel ball from six metres onto the glass structure as well as the most stringent pressure tests. Como truly stretches the physical limitations of glass as they were understood anno 2014.

EXTERIOR Como has a ‘two-and-a-half deck’ layout in order to incorporate the owner’s specific request for a climate-controlled flybridge that serves the raised pilothouse lifestyle he so enjoys. The wheelhouse is slightly recessed into the main deck structure, re-emphasising the speedy look & feel of the design while creating a gigantic outside deck. Combined with the awesome metallic hull and imposing mast design, it all makes for a truly magnificent sight.

SUNDECK The sun deck with the flybridge is the favourite spot of the owner. A wonderful party area for up to fiy people is completely covered and surrounded by glass, which can be lowered to facilitate a nice breeze or raised to create a giant terrace protected from the elements. A bimini with a composite beam slides out, removing the
need for fixed stanchions on the deck. The ventilation system also allows for heating as well as cooling for evenings when there is a slight chill. The choice of Macassar ebony for an outer deck is unusual and required some special lacquering solutions. Among the other highlights here are a pop-up TV, a “proper BBQ” to reflect the owner’s New Zealand roots, and a splendid marble-clad cocktail bar. The laer also contains provision for a crane as the sun deck is the MOB location when Como embarks on transatlantic trips. Meanwhile, the back end of the wheelhouse slopes down from the front into a fully equipped control station for outdoor helming. MAIN DECK Interior designers Redman Whiteley Dixon have devised a masculine yet calming ambience based primarily on high-gloss Macassar ebony, with white marble in the bathrooms and a more ornate
LUXURY YACHTS
Nero Portoro marble for centrepieces such as the bar unit that straddles the sliding glass doors between the main lounge and the a deck. The ingenious sliding door mechanism allows this whole area, inside and out, to become one piece. The main deck is the most used when at sea. Its lounge is bathed in natural light while the ceiling is made out of real mirror-raised stainless steel. An ingenious seating circle rotates using air cushions depending on use: slide 90° to watch the 82-inch TV or swivel the other way to face the a deck and connect with the guests enjoying the dining area with dedicated sunshade. LOWER DECK Como’s lower deck is home to four delightful guest suites; two doubles a and two twins forward. All are spacious and the views from the beds which have been placed transversely instead of in the usual longitudinal paern are truly
spectacular, both when at anchor and at sea. The bathrooms feature a wealth of white marble from Greece that the owner originally saw at a friend’s house. Finding this same marble in sufficiently large slabs of the required quality was an enormous task for the Feadship team responsible. Let us end with a quote from the owner himself: “There wasn’t a single boat that led me to Feadship. Rather it was the pedigree and quality for which Feadship is renowned, which is a key component in the excellent resale value of Feadships. I have owned many boats in my life and the quality that I have received on Como is light years ahead of my previous boats.” www.feadship.nl
