Tankoa Lists T500 Full-Custom C133 for Delivery in 2028

Tankoa groups T500 Full Custom C133 with its 2028 deliveries. The 50m, 499 GT project is separate from C116 and C120 on the 2027 list.

The T500 Full Custom hull C133 remains in Tankoa's published 2028 delivery group, with an overall length of 50 metres and a 499 GT figure. Its timing differentiates it from two other T500 construction numbers on the preceding year's schedule.

A later T500 in the order book

The yard's live register distinguishes full-custom C133 from C116 and C120, both shown in the 2027 group. The repeated 50-metre and 499 GT specifications identify a size class, not a common identity or a shared owner.

Keeping the 2028 entry separate allows a reader to follow how many individual yachts the builder reports across successive delivery years. A name change or later sale announcement should be reconciled to C133 only when officially confirmed.

Design details remain reserved

Tankoa publishes the basic dimensions and the projected year but marks detailed project information as confidential. Nothing in that listing supports assigning an interior designer, a particular hull colour or a guest-cabin arrangement to the finished C133.

This is a full-custom vessel, and the client-specific specification cannot be inferred from another T500. The builder's diagram illustrates the C133 project entry but is not a photograph of a launched vessel.

Why the year matters

A 2028 grouping places C133 later than the yard's two 2027 T500 entries, without establishing the month of delivery or a production-stage percentage. Builders may update schedules as work progresses, and the public register should be read as a dated snapshot.

No sale price, contract date or owner identity is published in the visible C133 entry. Those omissions should remain explicit rather than be filled by speculation or comparisons with other 50-metre transactions.

The next recordable milestone

A named launch, sea-trial announcement or delivered status would represent a new event deserving a separate article. The current story instead records the continuing publicly visible place of C133 in Tankoa's construction pipeline.

The source is the official Tankoa project listing, and the accompanying project illustration carries its correct C133 identification. Its thin lines may resemble other preliminary yard schematics, but the shape and underlying project artwork are not the same file.
