Seeing the 85.2m Pacific - previously known under the project name Josi - for the first time takes me back to the excitement of 2002 when Skat was launched - something very different from Lürssen.
The yard revealed very little about her when she launched in July, other than the name of the exterior stylist, German Frers, renowned for designing beautiful sailing yachts. Her profile is low and well proportioned with distinctive side balconies and large windows. All we know about the interior at this point is that it was designed by Bannenberg & Rowell.
Pacific left the Lürssen yard in Bremen this morning, en route to Kristiansand in Norway, the usual stop for refueling before being delivered to her owner.
