The first Amels 199, Event, has been christened at the Amels yard in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. In a few weeks this avant garde 60-metre will set out on its maiden voyage to Norway to explore the fjords.
The honour of christening the yacht was given to Laura Sessa, the designer who worked closely with the owner in creating an interior that perfectly complements the bold theme of Tim Heywood’s lines for the Amels 199. Heywood: ‘On paper and in concept form the scimitar bow and reverse tumblehome features of the design looked very exciting, and now to see the reality is a dream come true.’
After its maiden voyage to Norway, the Event will sail south for the Mediterranean where it will become available for charter and then will be displayed at the Monaco Yacht Show in September.
Limited Editions
Rob Luijendijk, managing director of Amels: ‘The Amels 199 remains true to the Limited Editions concept that we have been promoting for the past six years: a superior yacht of the highest quality and technical specification, delivered in much less time, whilst avoiding the risks of a full custom design.’
