In this week's episode, the team look at price rises on the brokerage market, and pick up on a couple of yachts for sale currently that could go for more than their owners originally bought them for. There's speculation on who will be brave enough to snap up the partially built 45m Bella T over in South Africa, in an auction that's due to take place on Microsoft Teams, and tales of another bold owner, 32m sailing yacht Elton's Andy Scott. We shine a spotlight on some great new tenders, and bring you all this week's latest news – from a serious fire at Ferretti's Cattolica shipyard, to a key partnership between the Dutch refit yard Balk, and Chinese investment company Zhongying International. The data story, meanwhile, hones in on yachts above 100m, which are due to be delivered this year.
