The latest 55-metre 180 – sporting a striking dark blue hull colour – has been launched at Amels’ yard in Vlissingen. The yacht was transported from the dry dock onto a floating pontoon, and then to a floating dry dock, which submerged. She was launched exactly on schedule.

The 700-tonne Tim Heywood design is part of the hugely successful Limited Editions series, a platform that offers owners the potential to customise the interior and enjoy a quicker build time.
