Fraser's 2026 Newbuild Brief Puts More Than 600 Superyachts in Construction
Fraser's current 2026 newbuild brief identifies more than 600 yachts above 30 metres under construction and places the average build length at 48.5 metres.
Feadship's fleet catalogue identifies HAMPSHIRE as 2016 hull 809, formerly VANISH, while the 71.5m VANISH currently offered for sale is the later hull 819.
The name VANISH appears on two successive Feadships, and their hull numbers are the reliable way to keep the vessels apart. Feadship's official catalogue identifies the 66.25-metre 2016 yacht, hull 809, as HAMPSHIRE today, whereas the 71.5-metre 2021 yacht is hull 819 and retains the name VANISH in the builder's resale portfolio.
Feadship records the earlier vessel as a 2016 yacht measuring 66.25 metres overall, with an 11.80-metre beam and a draught of 3.45 metres. The launch name was VANISH, but the builder's present name field reads HAMPSHIRE.
The older yacht's exterior was designed by Harrison Eidsgaard and its naval architecture by Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects. Its published fuel capacity is 154,100 litres and its design range is 5,200 nautical miles at 12 knots.
The later VANISH was completed in 2021 and measures 71.50 metres, with a beam of 12.50 metres and hull number 819. Feadship explains that the owner returned for another yacht bearing the same name after buying the earlier 66-metre vessel.
The 2021 yacht's defining architectural feature is a three-deck atrium extending from the main deck towards the sundeck. Harrison Eidsgaard again undertook exterior and interior design, but the hull identity and build year are different.
Feadship's dedicated resale page lists the 2021 VANISH at €148 million, with accommodation for fourteen guests across seven staterooms. The price and current sales listing refer to hull 819, not to the vessel now called HAMPSHIRE.
The listing describes private use from new and provides a specific gallery and sales specification for that yacht. Attaching those commercial details to hull 809 would create a false brokerage history and distort both fleet records.
The two yachts share a launch name and overlapping design credits, which makes title-only matching unreliable for automated fleets and article relationships. Builder number, length and completion year should be checked before carrying across prices, photographs or technical specifications.
This report establishes the identities using current official catalogue entries rather than announcing a new sale or rename today. The hero photograph is of the earlier hull 809, so it is explicitly labelled HAMPSHIRE instead of depicting the later listed VANISH.
Official sources: feadship.nl; feadship.nl; feadship.nl. Historical delivery milestones and existing yacht-design features are identified as such, not presented as new events today.
