| “We are delighted to put our distinctive Dutch mark on this exciting new build, for an owner who is a highly experienced yachtsman and knows exactly what he wants,” says Marnix Hoekstra, co-creative director of Vripack. “Our focus was on delivering a yacht that guarantees highly economical cruising and a soft and comfortable ride, all of which is made possible by our most efficient hull lines to date and our sailing experience.”
The yacht was sold by Y.CO in August 2022 and entered construction in early 2023 after starting life as preliminary sketches in 2018. Y.CO continues to play a key role as Owner’s representative and project management team.
In May, the yacht was transported by sea on a barge to the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona where a full hull 3D scan was carried out on arrival. The build now moves into the outfitting stage, including carpentry, fitting out of machinery and on-board systems, as well as the installation of furniture. The hull exterior will also be primed and painted. Project Thunderball is scheduled to deliver in 2026. |
