PENDENNIS'S HEMISPHERE SUCCESS CONTINUES

Over the last two decades Pendennis has repeatedly proven its ability to undertake the construction and refit of some of the most unique and beautiful luxury yachts in the world. This year the sailing catamaran Hemisphere has enjoyed a number of accolades from the yachting industry.

The yacht received a Judges Commendation in the World Superyacht Awards, and was a winner in two categories in the 2012 ShowBoats Design Awards (Interior Design Award, Interior Layout Award). Hemisphere has also been confirmed as a finalist in the ISS Awards (Sailing Yacht, 40m+), which will be announced on 25th October during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Hemisphere is currently enjoying cruising around the shores of Italy. Following a short visit to the Pendennis Palma Refit facility this autumn, the yacht will be heading to the Caribbean and the Pacific for the winter cruising season.

Pendennis to work on "world's largest cruising catamaran"

The 44m (144ft) Hemisphere, described as the world's largest cruising catamaran, has arrived in Falmouth, UK, to have its final fit-out undertaken by Pendennis Shipyard. The transport of the yacht on a container ship from the US was overseen by Peters & May. The yacht was offloaded at Port Pendennis Marina prior to her moving to the shipyard's covered dry dock.

Hemisphere will be the first craft to use the newly extended cover over the whole of the 150m (492ft) length of the dock compared with 75m (246ft) previously. This extension is part of an expansion project that also includes a new shed, boosting capacity for refit work in the yard. It is not known how long work on Hemisphere will take.

Among the reasons the final fit-out is being handled by Pendennis is the strong impression of quality for such work gained by the owner and captain of the yacht. To maintain this, Pendennis has recently taken on 22 new apprentices so that it now has some 50 in the yard out of a total workforce of 300. These include 12 general apprentices and 10 surface finishers.

Pendennis has been working with apprentices for 10 years and is currently being featured in a UK national radio and press advertising campaign for the National Apprenticeship Service.

HEMISPHERE IS AT THE PENDENNIS YARD IN ENGLAND

I have just received some pictures of Hemisphere in Falmouth at he Pendennis Yard, England but I promised not to publish them so if any one of you gets the chance to go by the yard I would be really happy to receive new pictures.

I hope everything goes all right now for the largest cruising catamaran in the world and we get a chance of seeing her sailing soon.
