Four years in the making, Feadship’s 324-foot-10-inch (99-meter) yacht, project name Dream, recently was launched in Makkum in the Netherlands. The Andrew Winch–designed Dream is the largest yacht built to date by Feadship.
On the occasion of the 2012 Yacht Valley Press Tour organized by HISWA, the Dutch yachting industry association, we had the opportunity to visit De Voogt Naval Architects, a firm whose history is closely bound to that of superyacht builder Feadship.
A few years ago, Feadship created its F45 Vantage series. The shipyard starts building each hull on spec before an owner comes along to create a very personal vessel. Last spring, the owner of Harle invited us onboard his yacht, which also happens to be a successful charter vessel.
