Director Louis Hamming is honored: “We consider the Lady B yacht as a perfect example of a modern performance-cruising sloop. We are proud to be able to deliver head turning sailing yachts. With her light interior characterized by a curved wall from aft to front – cleverly disguising the keel box – she offers the comfort and feel of a luxurious beach house. Her lifting keel and rigging and sailplan however, are ingredients for spectacular sailing capabilities.”
