Boat International - January 2012

In the January issue of Boat International we discover why you should never call designers ‘stylists’ in our Superyacht Design feature. We also feature several diverse yachts that display how designers’ talents stretch beyond what the late Jon Bannenberg described as the ‘flimsy tweaking of a structure’, from the 100m Attessa IV – fresh from a one million man-hour rebuild by serial owner Dennis Washington – and the 50m Trinity Falcon, designed for an owner who enjoys all-action cruises and fishing trips with his friends, to the first yacht to emerge from Palumbo – Prima – and Cobra Yacht’s modern take on the traditional Turkish ketch in Infinity. Finally, there’s the Darwin 86, a true pocket superyacht that offers a wealth of space for an excellent price.
