Yachting Developments is delighted to announce the signing of a new superyacht order, 33m (109’) Hull 1017, with work set to commence in Q1 of 2018. Hull 1017 is an all-carbon fast sportsfisher design that boasts sleek and sporty lines and will feature full carbon epoxy construction to achieve improved weight and performance. Naval architecture and design work is by New Zealand design house Warwick Yacht Design.
“We are proud to have signed this exciting new project and look forward to collaborating with the Warwick Yacht Design office and their repeat client to bring this custom superyacht build to life,” says Ian Cook, Managing Director of Yachting Developments. “It is always a privilege to be chosen to work on a new build project and the signing of Hull 1017 is no exception.” Yachting Developments has previously worked together with Warwick Yacht Design on five projects including 30.5m Quintessential and is pleased to be partnering with them once again.
Yachting Developments specialises in building a wide range of custom projects, having delivered a variety of yacht styles including sailing yachts, motor yachts and catamarans, and in recent years the yard has also become known for its expertise in large sportsfisher projects. These include the world’s largest all-carbon sportsfisher 39.5m Hull 1015, launched in November 2017, and 27.4m Satu, launched in 2012.
