C II - C2

Yacht name: C II (C2)
Length: 257 ft • 79 m
Year: 2008
Builder: Abeking & Rasmussen • # 6479
Design: Reymond Langton

Following on from Andrei Melnichenko's "A" launched earlier this year, might CII herald a rush by prospective yacht owners to snap up the remaining 24 letters of the alphabet?
Klaus has just sent in shots of Abeking & Rasmussen's latest launch getting her finishing touches in Lemwerder.
Although a sister to Eminence, the exterior styling seems less curvy, with the characteristic Reymond Langton "darts" or "arrowheads" almost absent.
There is an interesting transparent enclosure on the sun deck in front of the mast - possibly a lift (elevator)?
Update: April 2009 - Superb new photo of C2 taken during the St Barths season, by Bob.

Aviva is another of this year's fine major launches, this time from Abeking & Rasmussen. She left the Lemwerder yard in Germany in May 2007. Seen here yesterday on her maiden cruise to the Med, in St Tropez. The port was heaving with dozens of Mangustas, Leopards and ISAs for the annual Rodriguez Group show.
Aviva has an unusual "knife" bow, which allows for a larger superstructure and internal volume, and greater speed and fuel efficiencies.
