Launched in 2004 at Vitters Shipyard, this fine 43m sloop had a very short build time of just two years. Destined for a family who wanted to embark on a worldwide adventure, Rhoades Young produced the design for the interior, as well as the exterior ‘lifestyle’ areas.
The concept was to achieve a calm and restful interior using minimal detailing. The subsequent interior is finished in matt-varnished rotary-cut birch wood, contrasting with an oiled teak floor and stainless steel highlights. The result is very modern with a distinctly Scandinavian feel.
