She is out of the shed and ready to move!
The vessel is now taking shape as the various block components have been welded together in preparation for the transfer to Marina Di Carrara which will take place on Monday 12th at 2200 hrs.
The Vessel will be transported through the streets late at night and then put in the water in preparation to be towed by Tug to the Shipyard at San Lorenzo .

The void areas on the underside of the swimming platform are in fact a clever design to reduce pressure on this area from the seawater . See image on the right
CONCLUSION OF PICTURE REPORT
The Vessel is now at a very interesting period in its
journey to becoming a Boat.
Once the move to the Shipyard at San Lorenzo is
complete and the vessel hauled into a shed , there
will be huge strides in production achieved.
It goes from being a cold aluminum Block to the
beginnings of a superyacht through much outfitting,
effort and hard work
