“The new bow and transom design were quite a challenge and involved adding around 165 tons of steel,” says Perry van Oossanen, who is overseeing the naval architecture. “We worked with laser scans to develop the construction drawings, which involved some old-fashioned shipbuilding skills that was all part of the charm of the project for us.”
