erice 732 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The Beast was designed by LOMOcean, the New Zealand design company, who has designed shadow vessel Charley, recently launched in Australia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Launched in 2016, the 46-metre superyacht support vessel Charley was built by Echo Yachts. This twin-hulled vessel is built to serve the 84-metre superyacht White Rabbit Golf, also constructed by Echo Yachts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 It’s taken a while for the super rich to realise that catamarans are a better way to build a super yacht, most of the mono ones can’t get anywhere near the beach. Now fit the beast with sea leg wheels that retract into the hull and you could just drive it up the beach! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
