Turkish shipyard Bilgin has announced the launch of the second hull in its 80 metre Bilgin 263 series. The yacht hit the water at the yard's outfitting facilities in Istanbul.
The new yacht has been named Leona and features a striking scarlet hull courtesy of Antalya-based Unique Yacht Design. Interiors come from H2 Yacht Design and the project marks the ninth collaboration between the shipyard and the British design studio.
Leona follows in the footsteps of hull number one, Tatiana, with a slightly modified cabin configuration. The yacht is expected to have a gross tonnage of around 1,689 and top speeds of 20 knots.
According to BOAT Pro, there is a third hull in the 263 series under construction and is one of six yachts currently in build at Bilgin.
