It was a great moment for the Italian shipyard when the 70 metre long "Sybaris" was pushed out of the shipyard halls in La Spezia a few days ago. The ketch with a displacement of 927 tonnes is the largest yacht in the company's history after the 88-metre-long "Maltese Falcon". She can carry up to 3000 square metres of North Sails sailcloth on her 62 and 72 metre high Rondal masts.
The client is an American owner, Bill Duker, who accommodates his guests in a 30 metre long wing and can entertain them on an 18 metre long flybridge. Duker will house part of his art collection on board and can look forward to a quiet owner's suite - at 12 knots, the maximum noise level should be 45 decibels. PH Design developed the "Sybaris" interior and had every piece of furniture custom-made.
