The Giga-Kasko arrived at Lürssen-Kröger via the Helgen in the Kiel Canal. Project "Jag" is the third yacht built by the owner with the same captain at Lürssen.

The most striking feature of the steel and aluminium construction was the extravagant mast design, which - and this is hardly surprising - was designed by Nuvolari Lenard and evokes associations with space gliders. There was also a bowsprit in front of the US flag attached to the bow. In combination with information from Lürssen, this in turn allows conclusions to be drawn about the owner. It is said to be 96 metres long, and there is currently only one Lürssen in this size class with a stern extension: "Kismet". It would also be fitting that the 17.80 metre wide "Jag" project is also being built to Reymond Langton's interior specifications.

It is also striking that Moran Yacht & Ship is once again supervising the construction. The Fort Lauderdale-based brokerage and consultancy firm has acted in this capacity for three new Lürssen vessels in the last two years and also for the "Enzo" project (115 metres), which was launched at the same location a few days earlier. Two further "Moran-Gigas" are currently under construction at Lürssen - under the utmost secrecy: the 110 metre long "Kali" in Bremen and the striking 107 metre explorer "Icecap", which has found its final building site at the Peene Werft shipyard in Wollgast.
