Twice 119 metres
Feadship reports full halls and is working on a second 118.80 metre long giga format with Project 821.

Feadship's full halls can be taken literally. This is because the Dutch company's formats are getting bigger and bigger and are reaching their capacity limits when not docked in Amsterdam or Makkum. With Project 821, a second ship of 118.80 metres in length was presented, which - measured in terms of size and lines - suggests the same or similar construction platform as Project 1010, which was launched a few months earlier and represents a flagship double pack. The longest Feadship to date is the 110 metre long "Anna". The yacht builders outsourced the production of both the steel hull and the aluminium superstructure of 821; the five-hour wedding took place at a dock in Dordrecht with the help of five cranes and in gale-force winds. Shortly afterwards, a 90.50 metre long steel-aluminium hull saw the light of day at a hull builder near Rotterdam. In the 80 metre plus segment, a second 90.50 metre yacht as well as a 103 metre and a 98 metre new build have also been added to the order book.
