With the aluminium hull, deck and pilot house fabricated at Kees Cornelissen's yard in Holland the incomplete 'Royal Eagle II was towed by sea for finishing at Camper & Nicholsons in Gosport on the south coast of England. With a tradition of yacht building extending back to the racing J-class yachts Camper & Nicholsons had not built such a large craft as 'Royal Eagle II' for many years. The owners and management are committed to re-establishing a prominent name for luxurious custom built yachts and there is no doubt that 'Royal Eagle II has benefited from this desire.
