The hull of the seventh unit in Mulder's ThirtySix yacht series has been launched and named Q43. This follows the 36-metre superyacht's technical launch at Zoeterwoude, the Netherlands in April 2023.
Once delivered in May, Q43 will visit Norway and then set sail for the United States, where she will make her debut at the following Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
Weighing a total of 60 tons of aluminium, construction on the model began on speculation in April 2022. She has since been sold to an American owner, who was introduced to the shipyard by Chris Collins of Ocean Independence.

Defining features include a continuous strip of glazing running across the hull and ending in a distinctive plumb bow, with clean lines, low bulwarks and a high pilothouse.
Previous models in the series have had a 15-square-metre beach club and a long 75-square-metre sundeck, but the ThirtySix offers good scope for customisation. The yacht will have an eight-metre beam and nearly 300GT of volume. A patented Van Oossanen fast displacement hull form (FDHF) will give the yacht a maximum speed of 16.8 knots while offering increased fuel efficiency.
The yacht is expected to see delivery in spring 2024. Her sisterships include Delta One, Calypso I and the recently delivered Solemates.
The latest model is one of the first to be built at Mulder's fourth facility in Enkhuizen, which was acquired in February last year.
Mulder has also begun construction on an eighth hull, which will be delivered in October 2024. The yacht's interiors were unveiled at the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2024 and are owed to "visionary" interior architect Roelfien Vos.
