Oceanco and Vitters Shipyard announced the launch of an 85-meter Tripp Design Luxury Sailing yacht.
Editor-at-Large Jill Bobrow sits down with 180-foot Vitters MARIE owner Dr. Ed Bosarge at the Fort Lauderdale boat show.
Designers and builders of sailing yachts greater than 100 feet (30.4 meters) are being tasked with creating vessels that not only are beautiful, comfortable and safe, but also achieve a high level of sailing performance. The proliferation of international superyacht regattas has upped the ante for owners who not only like their yachts luxurious, but also like to best their competition on the race course.
We came back from a tour of the Dutch shipyards, organized by the Dutch yachting association (part of a larger association promoting the Dutch marine industry, known as HISWA), with some positive news. Most (if not all) the Dutch shipyards have a number of big yachts currently under construction and the future looks bright.
The “sarissa” was a very long spear used in ancient Greek warfare: robust and efficient, it rushed along at lightning speed finding its mark…This is what Vitters’ 140-foot sloop Sarissa does.
‘Limo racing’ gets a low-key tune-up at the 2015 St. Barth’s Bucket.
