We made it! We finally splashed!
It was a big day for us here in Turkey.
In the footer of our website there is a counter of the number of days since we started the build here. It was day 1052 since we started and our beloved Möbius finally launched. Still lots of work to be done, but she is floating. And we found ourselves dock mates with a bunch of police boats, and we fit right in - just how we like it.
Check it out.

Anticipation
Reminds me of that song By Carly Simon Anticipation. Congratulations on the splash. The journey begins.

What an incredible yacht. Hope to see a tour of the interior soon.
I, too, would design a boat to fit in with the working boats. Congrats!

Congrats! That fine looking craft looks like it's ready to take on anything the sea can throw at it.

Congrats! I am guessing from your background that your vessel will not be tied to the dock much and will have many thousands of miles under its keel. Safe travels.
Edit - looks like you have an SC30 Sat Compass on top of your arch. They work great.

My boat splashed last August after a 20 month refit, which of course seemed forever. I know how exciting a splash down can be. And then 20 minutes later after the boat entered the water, during its first sea trial, the boat hit a log..... !*&%#! Fortunately there was no damage.

Sorry to be so slow to reply to this. It has been a hectic couple of days to say the least. We expect the boat to do something like 11 knots at WOT. We have some bugs to work out with the Kobelt steering before we can do the first sea trials. We will report back when that happens.
If you would like to see all the stats on the boat, including all the equipment we chose to outfit her, we have a page on the blog called "The Boat." If you would like to check it out, click here:

Yes, indeed. It seems Arab Gulf country of Oman has ordered a fleet of these. There are several more in the Ares shipyard shed in various states of completion.
