Yachting Pages has put several of the leading safety cases (and other associated products) to the test. The objective: to ascertain how each product performs and determine which one is best equipped to safely contain a lithium battery-induced fire.
Turkish yard Bilgin Yachts has announced the sale of the second hull in its 263 series to a repeat client.
Due to be delivered by the end of 2019 along with the first vessel, the latest 263 is designed as a displacement yacht, with her exterior completed by Unique Yacht Design, naval architecture by Özgün Yacht Design, and interiors completed by British brand H2 Yacht Design.
According to Bilgin, the 263 not only meets the “exacting performance standards of the luxury industry”, but she also “sets the bar for Turkey’s growing high-end yacht sector.”
Standout features on board the 263 include substantial exterior space for relaxing, with a large aft-deck Jacuzzi, dining area and cocktail bar located on the bridge deck. The beach club includes a pool with a swim-up bar, as well as two fold-out side sections for the owner or guests to look out on the water.
The upper deck of the 263 is entirely dedicated to the owner, and includes a sunbathing area located aft, an aft-facing suite, as well as a forward-facing lounge and private spa pool. Accommodation is available for up to 12 guests and crew of 24, with a spacious saloon on the main deck.
The 263 is powered by two 3,433hp MTU diesel engines, with a top speed of 17.5 knots and cruising speed of 15 knots.
