Few - if any - owners understand the complexities of motoryacht design and construction like Jim and Jan Moran. Over a period of 50 years or more, they have commissioned scores of major projects, including no less than seven Feadships. Launched between 1984 and 1995, all the Feadship Gallant Lady's had a definite signature of their own, with Jim creating a design for each exterior and Jan overseeing the interior. The De Vries yard was therefore delighted to accommodate their request for 'one more Feadship', which at 5121m (168'0') will be shallow enough to cruise the inland waterways and park at a designated dock behind the Moran's home.
The new Gallant Lady has been built in aluminum with lightweight and high-tech composites for the upper decks. In many ways her exterior profile sees a renaissance of the most recent Gallant Lady built at De Vries, while taking into account the latest developments at Feadship in terms of complex shapes. A key new styling feature is the pointed oval design of the forward section of the three superstructure decks, which helps give the yacht a 'sleeker' look.
