Amels Sells Second Semi-custom Yacht

摘要

Dutch shipbuilder Amels has announced the sale of the second of a popular series of limited edition 65m Amels 212 yachts. The yacht has been sold to a repeat client. The owner already has the Amels 171 yacht and has requested upgrading to a model with more room and amenities.rnThe 1503gt Amels 212 was originally conceived as a high-volume 65m vessel, has an 11.88m maximum beam, with an unusual seven-stateroom layout found only on larger yachts. The hull of the newbuild is being constructed in blocks by Amels' sister company, Damen Schelde Shipbuilding.rnThe yacht was designed by Tim Heywood using an efficient seaworthy hull with Amels naval architecture and engineering. The 'classic' interiors will be styled by Andrew Winch Design.rnThe premise 'limited editions' is included to offer clients a semi-custom design that provides room for personalisation, yet would allow owners to enter the project and take delivery in much less time than a fully custom-built yacht.rnAmels 212 is classified by Lloyd's Register and complies with MCA LY2 rules for safety and operations. She is scheduled to be delivered to the client in early 2012.
