World debut of new Sunseeker 40 Metre Yacht

SunseekerAt the PSP Southampton Boat Show 2010, Sunseeker International proudly launched the new Sunseeker 40 Metre Yacht. 

The firm's new flagship builds on the success of the 37 Metre Yacht and incorporates all its best elements while also enjoying other exciting new features such as balconies and increased exterior deck spaces. The launch of the new 40 Metre Yacht provides further proof of Sunseeker's global status.

Katherine Jenkins, the world-renowned classical performer known for her contemporary arias, popular songs, hymns and classical music, performed onboard the new flagship yacht at the official launch in front of a crowd of hundreds. Her elegant performance of three songs from her current album Believe preceded the cutting of a ribbon to officially launch the new motoryacht, which was carried out by Sunseeker founder Robert Braithwaite and star of the BBC's Dragon's Den, Theo Paphitis.

Katherine, the award-winning British mezzo-soprano, added a touch of glamour to the 40 Metre Yacht's global launch. Having shot to fame in 2003, Katherine is now one of the world's most successful classical recording artists. She was the first female artist to win two consecutive classical BRIT Awards and six of her studio albums have reached number one in the classical charts, selling a total of more than 4 million copies. Her global appeal has been enhanced following her numerous appearances on television including the 2010 talent series Popstar to Operastar, and her performances at a variety of the world's largest sporting events.

Sunseeker founder, Robert Braithwaite, said: "Katherine Jenkins was the perfect person to launch our majestic new vessel at the PSP Southampton Boat Show. Like the Sunseeker 40 Metre Yacht, she is a performer of great beauty, elegance and style."

Sunseeker also debuted the new Manhattan 63 at the Southampton Boat Show and showcased a further ten Sunseeker craft on the Sunseeker stand and on the pontoon.
