Some yachts go into stardom not because they do anything special but because of the owners who own them. It is the case for this very much kept in secret during build and delivery fully custom Bayliss 29th hull, titled Catch 23. Bayliss B29 is owned by none the less then basketball legend Michael Jordan, a replacement to his previous Viking 80 Convertible. Recognizable by its unique paint work which is similar but a bit different to his previous 24 meter Viking Convertible. Recognizing the name and paint work social media went on a frenzy when B29 appeared in the early parts of spring, with the speculation following through. For like three months Bayliss did not even publicize the build, something unusual as the Wanchese boat builder always announces new builds with a follow through during construction. Then Bayliss B29 finally appeared on its web site in June.
