Historic day for Sunseeker
Gelcoat laid on new 155 foot production boatSunseeker International, manufacturer of one of the world's finest luxury motoryachts, reached another landmark in its illustrious history when founder Robert Braithwaite (pictured) recently laid the first gelcoat on the mould of the new Sunseeker 155 Yacht due for completion in December 2013.
The Sunseeker 155 Yacht is the largest build to date undertaken by the Poole Shipyard, which can now soundly lay claim to being the only production boat builder in the world to be manufacturing a range of composite boats from 40 to 155 feet in length.
With a 4500 nautical mile range, accommodation for up to 12 guests and 10 crew, and weighing in at a colossal 500 gross tonnes, the 155 Yacht is set to make a statement. The new flagship will incorporate innovative inset ship's balconies, transverse garaging of tenders and toys, including a very private megayacht beach club with lower deck dayroom, folding platform and tender docking.
Braithwaite paid particular tribute to the design and engineering teams at Sunseeker whose hard work over the last three years has produced a stunning example to top the Sunseeker range.
"Today (April 18) is the beginning of the manufacturing process that will make my dream a reality. She will not be owned by many but those that do will be buying a craft of exceptional style, quality and innovation," Braithwaite said.
The 155 Yacht is expected to make a splash in 2014.
