We are proud to present YN 18455, now christened Vida and formerly known as Project Antares.

Launched earlier this year on 4 January, Vida is now entering the systems commissioning phase and is getting ready for sea trials.

Vida is the third in the successful 55m FDHF Steel class, which features muscular exterior lines by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects. The profile is clean thanks to the absence of fashion plates and the design is characterised by floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for plenty of natural light to flood the interiors.
