Kingship has announced their new Kingship 156 yacht design, created in collaboration with Donald Starkey Designs and Azure Naval Architects will be presented for the first time at the 2010 Monaco Yacht Show. The 156 ft (47.4 metre) motor yacht will be able to accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 staterooms and have a crew of 10.
Kingship has established themselves over many years as the foremost high quality yacht builders in Asia. In 2010, Kingship is very pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with long time friend Mr Donald Starkey and well established Azure Naval Architects in the design development of this new KINGSHIP 156 ft (47.5m) yacht to be built under the 500 ton rules, making crewing of the yacht in that and other regions more manageable.
Within these constraints however, the Kingship 156 super yacht lacks nothing that a 50+ metre yacht might have, being capable of sleeping 12 in 6 suites, having generous lounges and open covered deck spaces for entertaining, all accessible from a central staircase up to and including the part shaded sun deck with a bar/dining facility being served by a food lift and open Spa Pool on the forward sunning area.
The styling is a break from the more recent yachts Kingship has created as it features a plumb bow and generous circular port lights on the forward main deck, the intention to evoke the feeling of a modern “gentleman’s yacht”.
Azure Naval Architects from the Netherlands has put maximum effort into the hull and superstructure lines plan to create the maximum interior space within the 500GT restriction. New borders have been set whilst the optimized hull form of this new Kingship 156 motoryacht will guarantee maximum comfort at sea. Advanced structure and system design, according to the latest Class Society requirements, are fully absorbed within the Design.
Kingship, a Hong Kong based company, is the first builder in Asia specializing in constructing yacht with steel hull and aluminum superstructure, it is also the first to build a yacht in compliance with Lloyds and MCA in Asia. Kingship current series includes the Explorer 110, Magellan 110, Gentleman 131, Kingship 138 and Green Voyager 144.
Kingship look forward to provide you with more information about their new Kingship 156 motor yacht design at the 2010 Monaco Yacht Show, held from the 22nd to 25th September 2010.
