Boat International US Edition – May 2019

(Rick Simeone) #1

A rock-solid build


Rock is a deceptive boat. From the quay, she has the
dimensions of a larger yacht, and her internal proportions
are huge. Vripack went back to its drawings to calculate
her measurements:


  • 145 gross tonnes

  • 1,765 square feet inside

  • 1,270 square feet outside


Gross tonnage figures are hard to find for similar-sized
yachts, but Rock is up there with boats just under the
100ft mark – the Princess 30M offers 162GT, for example.
With a price tag of around $4.5 million, Rock works out
as $31,000/GT. The figure compares favorably with an
average Turkish build cost of more than $34,000/GT
and a Northern European build cost of $45,900/GT.
Her interior space amounts to 44 percent more than
the average for similar-sized competitors, Vripack
calculates, with 49 percent more exterior space.

“We will scale the Rock range,


keeping the DNA of the brand:


spacious and creative layouts


in an impressive exterior”
