BUILDING THE YACHTS

Up to 2,000 man hours each week result in all elements and components being systematically integrated into the yacht at exactly the right moment. 57

SPECIALIST COMPONENT SUPPLIERS

Modern winches, bow-thrusters, propellers, sails, furling gear and other components enable a 100 foot, 190 ton yacht to be handled in all weathers by no more than four crew. 75

INTERIOR DESIGN

The aim is to provide such comforts and convenience so as to give the owner the feeling that he is roughing it ashore rather than when he is afloat. 87

SAILING TRIALS

All systems are checked in the greatest detail and the data is recorded for the operating manuals. 101

Champagne is chilled and the yacht is launched. 108

THE NEW YACHTS

A selection of designs, some proven successes, some yet to be launched illustrate how each yacht is tailor-made to meet the exacting requirements of each client. 113

EPILOGUE

Systems providing even higher standards of reliability, value and convenience will be found behind the well-finished panelling of future yachts. 152
