SAIL0R REACHES FOR THE SKY

It’s not hard to figure out why Project

Atlas was named after the Titan

condemned to hold up the sky for

all eternity. This towering 360ft

motorsailer concept was developed

by British studios H2 Yacht Design

and Laurent Giles Naval Architects.

The five deck superstructure gives

plenty of options for lapping up the sun,

with a spa pool and 19ft infinity pool. It

would be fitted with a diesel electric

propulsion system.

NEW

CONCEPT

The 360ft Jubilee splashed down at Oceanco as the

largest yacht launched in the Netherlands to date. Her

colorful exterior styling by Igor Lobanov immediately

catches the eye with a trompe l’oeil that defies

traditional design. While other yachts’ styling aims to

create the illusion that they have fewer decks, Jubilee’s

glass-inset bulwarks make you think she has far more

than her actual six.

Built to the PYC code, the new Oceanco flagship has

a separate owner’s deck and features accommodations

for as many as 30 guests in 15 cabins. Oceanco long-

term collaborator Sam Sorgiovanni created the

interior décor and the yard has revealed that she sports

an aft deck swimming pool

with a built-in aquarium so

guests can swim with the fish.

This 4,500GT displacement

yacht will now head off on sea

trials, where she will be

pushed to her 18.5 knot top

speed by a pair of MTU diesel

engines. oceancoyacht.com
