October 26, 2017

Minncraft
Minncraft-BoatworksWalking the docks at a boat show can be a thrilling experience. Even if you are not in the market for a new boat or related equipment, there are thousands of companies vying for your attention. Fortunately for the new US-based Minncraft Boatworks, attention on their first prototype, the Summit 26 run-about was in high supply. Her classic lines and retro styling were wrapped in hand-laid teak and ALEXSEAL’s Luna Green Metallic topcoat during her debut at the Miami International Boat Show.

Attessa IV Gleams in Fresh ALEXSEAL® Topcoat

October 18, 2017


The refit and extension of Attessa IV may seem an immense undertaking, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for Washington Yachting Group. One of many luxury yachts managed by the company, all have been transformed and added to: over 3 meters on the first Attessa, with Attessa II and III receiving additions of over 5 meters.

Attessa IV started her life in 1999 as the 91-meter Evergreen (Diana Yacht Design) but underwent an extensive transformation in 2007. After being purchased by Dennis Washington, the bow and stern were rebuilt to accommodate 100 meters of lavish appointments. This expansion of nearly 10 meters in length allowed the owners to add in a spa, cinema, and additional private helipad so that guests can have their own landing area on the bow. It was critical to establish an exquisite theme of luxury aboard Attessa IV, both inside and out.
