Tuesday 14th May marked a monumental day in the construction of the latest collaboration between Winch Design and Heesen, as the keel of the inimitable 80m M/Y Cosmos was laid. In attendance for the traditional ceremony, which signifies the formal start of a yacht’s construction, were Jim Dixon (Director, Yachts and Aviation) and James Russell (Associate, Yacht Exteriors) together with the Heesen team, the owner’s team and a select handful of industry insiders and journalists. Everyone watched on with excitement as the symbolic welding took place, signifying good luck for her build.
