Oceanco launches MY LADY CHRISTINA
Saturday 30th April shipyard Oceanco
launches 62m megayacht LADY
CHRISTINA. LADY CHRISTINA emerged on time and with typical Oceanco
precision from the 66,000 sq ft Alblasserdam facility to take center
stage on the ships elevator ready for her christening.
The owner and his family, together with crew members, subcontractors
and oceAnco staff gathered on Saturday 30th April to witness the
launching celebration which was accompanied by the release of 1500
red, white, blue and orange balloons.
At precisely 11:00am, the champagne shattered perfectly against
the bow, a fitting signal for everyone to raise their glasses and
cheer the start of what will without doubt be a distinguished cruising
career. A special word was also given in honour of the Dutch Queen's
birthday which was also being energetically celebrated throughout
Holland.
The proud owner gave a glowing speech dedicated to the whole of
his team, the oceAnco team and workforce for fulfilling his dream
of creating such a magnificent yacht.
In true Oceanco style, a themed party commenced with a jazzy melody
played by a small band threading their way through the guests. Soft
drinks and vintage wines were served together with delicious "pain-surprise"
amongst other delicacies. The children (and some adults) were entertained
by a balloon magician as well as a seriously contested competition
for the best t-shirt painting of LADY CHRISTINA. This festive ambiance
gave everyone the opportunity to meet and enjoy whilst admiring
this beautiful yacht from the purpose built marquee and wooden terrace.
LADY CHRISTINA is due to be delivered in July 2005 and will travel
to the Mediterranean for her maiden voyage. Contrasting with the
canoe stern and sweeping curves of DILBAR
also on the dock, LADY CHRISTINA has more a traditional external
styling.
The naval architecture and exterior styling are from oceAnco and
her elegant interior decoration is from Francois Zuretti Design.
Her luxurious cabins can accommodate 8 guests in 2 double and 2
twin cabins and her owners in a panoramic master suite located on
the owner's deck which includes a private salon, dining area and
a remarkable two-level bathroom.
Oceanco are proud to add this unique and distinctive yacht to its
fleet.
