History & Hull

“Vanda” (ex “Van Triumph”) was built in Hong Kong in 1975 by Supercraft Ltd. as a private yacht for the yard’s owner, and maintained in class with American Bureau of Shipping, with Machinery Certificate. She was renamed after the launch of his new 65m Van Triumph. In 1993 she was laid up ashore at Supercraft’s yard in Hong Kong, where she was maintained by them until a suitable idiot like the present owner was found to buy her in 2003.
