The new sailing yacht Container, one of the successors to the legendary yachts of the eighties and nineties of the same name, was presented to owner and crew in the first week in September.

Designed by the successful team of Judel and Vrolijk and constructed by the Knierim Werft dockyard, the new Container will be christened on September 6th, 2008 at the Knierim Werft in Kiel and will have to prove herself just three weeks later, from 09/29 to 10/04, at the Les Voiles de Saint Tropez. The new high-tech boat will also be participating in the Middle Sea Race taking place from the 18th to the 20th of October. -- Barby McGowan
