It took two years to build the latest Vitters newbuild. The hull and deck of the 85-tonne displacement performance cruiser were created in the halls of Vitters subsidiary Green Marine using negative moulds made of prepreg carbon on a high-strength foam core.
The flat, large deckhouse, under which the bright saloon is located, is particularly striking. "The superstructure, which consists of large curved glass panels, has been laminated with heat-reflecting intermediate layers to keep the interior cool even in warm and sunny climates," explains shipyard boss Louis Hamming. At the touch of a button, a shade-providing bimini extends from the deckhouse and covers the guest cockpit.
The interior layout, which is unusual for yachts, with a large saloon including a TV corner and open galley, has been specially tailored to the owner's family. The master suite is located in the bow, with guests sleeping in three double cabins behind. A crew of four occupies the two-berth stern, which also houses the lazarette (with space for a 4.10 metre tender plus sailing dinghy).
Klaus Allebrodt from A2B Maritime was responsible for the project management for the construction of the fast performance slipway.
After delivery, "Missy" will sail through Caribbean waters before the planned round-the-world voyage begins.
