During the 1954 edition of the Motor Boat Show in New York, this 17.98-metre Coronet was named “Queen of the Show”, marking the second year in a row a Feadship was awarded the prestigious title (the 16.76-metre Capri was it in 1953). A brochure from 1954 also reveals how quickly Feadship caught on to the importance of self-promotion in America, foregoing a more typically conservative Dutch approach: ''A beautiful boat... beautifully designed... beautifully appointed... and built with the meticulous attention to detail so typical of all Feadship built boats. Yet another example of the master yacht builders of the Feadship yachts at the very peak of their craft.”
