New Model: Princess 78 Motor Yacht

Thanks to our British friends PowerYachtBlog is proud to bring exclusive preview spy shots of the new Princess 78 Motor Yacht. Third model model in size and number to be presented in the recently introduced Motor Yacht line up in the last two years by Princess, the 78 is a sleek looking boat just shy of super yacht size. I stand to be corrected to the project preview of a few weeks back where I said that the 78 Motor Yacht shares an identical hull to the V78 launched earlier on this year. This is in fact not so, as the 78 Motor Yacht is slightly longer and adds also one foot more to the beam versus the sporty V78. As for the rest the 78 Motor Yacht is a four cabin motor yacht and will be Princess second fully resin infused constructed yacht, the first being the V78. Princess is the first British builder to construct fully resin infused built yachts, and among the few European builders to embrace this cleaner building method. To my knowledge of the major builders in Europe only Italian Azimut has embraced the fully building of its boats using resin infusion for its line up under the 70 feet barrier.
