Highlighting the best of the best in the North American yachting industry, our expert team of writers and photographers have traveled the globe to bring you an exclusive inside look at this year's most spectacular new builds and launches. Yes, the North American yachting industry is thriving, and the world's top builders and designers are pushing the envelope in collaboration with owners who strive for the best. As a result, superlatives abound, as evidenced by Trinity's 180ft Mia Elise, the largest semi-displacement steel hull to be launche din North America in the past 70 years; and MITseaAH, the 156ft sloop that presented one of the most challenging design briefs in the history of sailing yachts. Royal Huisman spent four years planning and building Athena, the 295ft three-masted schooner for Netscape founder Jim Clark, and Lürssen'sNorthern Star clearly reflects her experienced owner's passion for quality.
