The Triple Deuce will cost over One Billion Dollars in order to be built. It will measure 222 meters in lenght which means that it will be the world’s largest private yacht. The records are held for now by Eclipse with 162 meters and Azzam with 182 meters lenght. This huge yacht will also be bigger than the 220 meters long Costa Classica, an enormous cruise ship that can carry over 1300 passengers and 590 crew members.
The ship, in addition to the clean-up function of the seas, will also carry on board a research team, trained to study the oceans and new sustainable ways to protect them. [links]

When the Swan 65 was first built at Nautor in Finland in 1972 it was easily the largest glassfibre yacht on the market. here
A legendary design in its own right, the Sparkman & Stephens-designed Swan 65 became lastingly famous name in the first ever Whitbread Race in 1973/74. When it was won by Ramón Carlin’s Sayula II, finishing in 133d 13h.
This was the first of many honours for the design: in the following Whitbread three other Swan 65s finished in 2nd, 4th and 5th positions.

“Yachts larger than 60 feet require a police escort on the road and take two days to make the journey to Ipswich Haven Marina,” Fairline’s Kira Daly told Robb Report.
Auf dem Graben says that voyages from its other shipyards in Rendsburg and Bremerhaven often involve fans. “Along the Kiel Canal, there are multiple spots for enthusiasts and locals who use the jogging tracks to see the yacht go by,” she says.
“It took a whole day just to get her onto pontoons,” says Van Oossanen, who followed the boat for three days all the way to the narrowest section of the canals at Gouda. “At times, it took an entire hour just to pass under one bridge.” more

But not all amazing delivery journeys are determined by a shipyard’s location. Sometimes it’s the destination. When Abeking & Rasmussen set out to deliver the 245-foot superyacht Elandess from its German shipyard, it was the owner’s express wish that it be to London’s River Thames. here
