MSNBC has a piece on the mysterious Laurel, a new megayacht being built by
Delta Marine in Washington. The big blue Laurel is 240 feet making it
the largest yacht built in the U.S. in a number of years. The article also mentions the 164-foot yacht recently
launched by Westport
Shipyard also in Washington and the Vancouver, Wash.-based Christensen Shipyards Inc. which has a 170-foot model.
Western Washington could well be the U.S. hub for megayacht construction.
Yachtspotter has more big pictures of the Laurel which is
going to an American client and there is an active discussion of the boat going on at the
Power Boat and Motoryacht Forum.
