Lürssen Yachts - Launching of project JAG

Project JAG was launched in the traditional fashion: down the slipway!

Congratulations Peter and team. Another unique design. Thanks 😊

I've seen a report that the Kismet owner has ordered a vessel under the project name called, "Gaja, " but my theory is that the owner of 95 meter Kismet is the person who commissioned this, the 122 meter Project JAG. Here's the reasoning behind my theory:

1. The design of JAG has extremely similar design attributes to Kismet; long bow sprit, the lightly contrasting superstructure and hull (Links 1 & 2 at the bottom of this comment show this well), strong line sweeping down from the bowline to the stern which also serves to divide said color scheme in the same way on both boats, and a very dark, high-contrast mast color -- again, the links at the bottom of my comment will help for that.

2. The owner of Kismet is the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, an American football (NFL) team. Given that the American flag is displayed on JAG's bow, it's super reasonable to assume the client is American.

3. The project's name is "JAG" and, as stated in point #2, it'd be reasonable to assume the yacht owner's relationship with the team had some role in the project name's inspiration

4. Kismet is currently for sale at Moran Yachts. JAG is also managed by Moran Yachts. It'd be reasonable to assume that if you were selling your current yacht through a firm which brokers sales _and_ manages builds, you'd keep it simple by just sticking with that firm for both ends of the project.

5. As stated above, JAG and Kismet are both by Lurssen, the same shipyard. Most entrepreneurs who are happy with a supplier/partner will reward the sh*t out of said partner with long-lasting relationships.

Wieder Mal ein tolles Projekt von den Schacht Audorfern. Freue mich schon auf die erste Kanalpassage in die Ostsee. Sieht echt toll aus.
Hätte ich auch gerne gefilmt!

Siete i migliori niente da aggiungere bravi

Congratulations to the team and Lurssen, Nuvolari & Lenard, and the owner!!

Why do they launch with the hull unpainted?

[grondhero]

Is there a safety or logistical reason why the boat is launched backwards? I would think launching it forward would be smoother, as well as the aft end not being inundated with water.

[dugong]

Because of that thing on top, i would call it "wart"❣😁

This is Lewis Hamilton's new yacht

Mein Gott...was ist das für ein Bomber?

[justusjanssen]

Due to global warming, that is the yacht the world was waiting for.

[anthonyjarvis]

you guys build some incredible yachts and i realise this isnt near finished but damn this is one ugly boat!

[Johnonayacht]

I don’t understand the bow. Form follows function but it looks terrible like it’s trying to be a 19th century sailing ship

[timyarrow]

Imagine: all this ship for one guy likely overcompensating for something.
