BOAT Briefing

What was it like restoring the classic 32m Sea Breeze III? Owners Simon Greenwood and Charlotte Devereux share their story.

It’s the 50th BOAT Briefing since the podcast launched, so in this week’s episode the team reflect on some of their favourite highlights so far. In the news, there’s details of Espen Øino’s new 79.5m Silver Edge; official details of the Nobiskrug shipyard takeover; and an exciting new 127m explorer concept from the Harrison Eidsgaard studio, complete with an indoor pool and a helicopter landing pad cum squash court. We also debate the merits of vinyl wrapping your boat instead of painting it, place our bets on this year’s World Superyacht Winners, and look at data on the impressive number of 50m+ yachts being delivered this year.

In this week's BOAT Briefing, we discuss the sale of 126 metre explorer yacht Octopus, the grounding of the sailing yacht Malizia and the upcoming World Superyacht Awards in Monaco. We also learn about the dire state of depth information available to mariners around the globe - and why in some cases yachts are relying on data gathered by Captain Cook.
