This is Attessa

In 1998, the 62.00-metre Aviva epitomised the ongoing quest for maximum comfort, with her owner’s principal request being for the greatest possible degree of stability at anchor. “I don’t even mind if you use hydraulic legs which reach out to the harbour floor,” he stated, while more seriously requesting that Feadship embark on an exhaustive research programme. Working closely with the Dutch Maritime Research Institute (MARIN), various aspects of motion at anchor were studied and tested on a Ship Motion Simulator at the TNO research group. Aviva became the most advanced yacht in terms of comfort at anchor yet seen.
