Because Hanseatic’s huge modern sheds do not have a face dock, final fitout was completed at this nearby AMC complex, literally next door to the old Oceanfast shed and dock, and a large white marquee was erected to receive, store and install aboard various fixtures, fittings and furniture. It wasn’t entirely ideal, and Robert Falzon of Australian superyacht outfitters FMCA, part of the publicly-listed Viking Group, remarked at Fort Lauderdale that plans were afoot to further refine fitout systems for the second vessel. Interior design was handled by Silverstrin of Munich.
 
 Interiors are broadly described as “contemporary Italian” and “modern minimalist,” with American walnut veneers, leathers and custom carpets. Construction is similar to lightweight custom-built aircraft interiors.
 
Silver has somewhat flared bows to scythe through a seaway while keeping her decks relatively dry, and she has waterline hull platforms either side aft to further improve stability. A tri-decker, her two 23’ custom tenders are stowed within the bow, where vertical accelerations are highest and therefore is the least suitable place to accommodate those susceptible to motion sickness. The tenders are accessed via spectacular gull wing opening hatches in the hull. The full aft platform extends some distance from the stern, and can be used to moor tenders or to embark the two jet skis or the ship’s rescue craft.
 “It is not intimidating to swim off the boat”, remarks Espen, referring obliquely to a problem that does crop up on occasions. There is a generous garage with all the usual diving, fishing and other watersport accoutrements, plus a bar, sauna and small gym, thus the area more than lives up to its “beach club” appellation.
