Burgess Yachts Have Excellent Week

Burgess Yachts are having an excellent week as they had four megayacht sales in the last week and have just announced that they have also just sold a 74m (243ft) new build project at the CRN Ancona Shipyard in Italy.

Burgess Technical Services (BTS) are going to be used by the owner of this new 74m CRN new build to manage the project through to her completion in 2016. She will have a long range cruising capability, with a gross tonnage of well over 1500 GRT. Andrew Winch Designs has been appointed to design the interior with exterior design by Studio Zuccon who is well known for many of the CRN exterior designs.

Her interesting features include a panoramic owner's saloon with full length picture windows, a large open plan sundeck with jacuzzi and a sizeable beach club.

This is the first collaboration between Andrew Winch Designs and CRN Ancona - and everyone is keen to "raise the bar" according to Burgess.

The Mighty THOR

Project "Thor" which measures 74m (242ft) in length is the newest construction going on at the Lurssen shipyard in Germany. The project is being managed by Moran Yacht & Ship who will be working along side the owner to bring Thor from concept to completion. Not many details have been released but we can say that she is a fully custom project, is a full displacement hull and will have larger interior volume than any other 74m megayacht on the water today.

Her interior and exterior design will come from the drawing board of the Andrew Winch Design studio. Do you think her exterior design resembles two certain Lurssen megayacht's (Polar Star and Northern Star)? We think so. Possibly a new megayacht for a previous lurssen client?
