As the superyacht industry expanded, so too did the different parties with whom Feadship partnered. Lac II had already become the first Feadship to feature the work of an interior designer (Pierre Tanter) in 1975 and Susan Puleo’s extraordinary glass interior on Circus II in 1983 showed that this movement was here to stay. The 1980s was also the decade that Feadships started incorporating the work of legendary exterior designers, including the amazing profiles drawn by Jon Bannenberg on yachts like Azteca, Paraiso, New Horizon L, Cedar Sea and the green The Highlander. Feadship’s ability to absorb and deploy fresh ideas and influences would prove crucial in the years ahead. Meanwhile, 1984 saw the first Gallant Lady built for Jim and Jan Moran, who would order no fewer than eight Feadships by 2007. The Feadship brand had become synonymous with excellence and those who could afford the best now knew to look no further.
