Artnautica 60 – The Home Stretch

Scroll down

This stunning, Dennis Harjamaa designed, Artnautica 60, full carbon, sport fisher is now only a few short months away from launching.

Gareth, Kerry and the team have ticked off a lot of work over the last few months. Fairing is mostly completed with guide coat paint on foredeck and cabin. Flybridge captains’ seats, dash and control arm have been test fitted, much of the Oak cabinetry has been completed, the designer’s logo has been made, ready for installation once painting is complete. The beautifully built, custom transom door hinge has been test fitted. This hinge was designed with clearances of 1mm or less, and it fits perfectly. The radar mast is being readied for painting, foredeck "Do Not Fall Off" rails have been fabricated and test fitted. Even the rod holders have been tested (basically the owner subtly telling us to hurry up), so we are on the home stretch. And, if you would like a beautiful 3D render of your pride and joy, here is Mission 3D's website. https://mission3d.com/

Frequently Asked Questions:

What does “the home stretch” mean in the yacht building process?

“The home stretch” refers to the final phase of construction, where fairing, painting, interior cabinetry, fittings, and test installations are completed before the yacht is launched and delivered to its owner.

What kind of custom features are added in this final stage?

Custom features include flybridge captain’s seats, control consoles, cabinetry, designer logos, transom door hinges, radar masts, railings, and rod holders. Each is carefully test-fitted to ensure precision and perfect alignment.

Can owners see or approve final fittings before launch?

Yes. Owners are often involved in reviewing and approving key features like cabinetry, hardware, and equipment placement. Test-fitting allows adjustments and ensures the yacht meets the owner’s exact specifications before painting and final installation.
