The 17.00-metre Lucia was built in 1996 for the personal use of Jan van Lent upon his retirement. She was built with the same quality and engineering found on the largest Feadships. It had been many years since Feadship had built a 17.00-metre yacht – the last was Amphion II in 1968. Named after Jan’s wife, this small but beautiful classic Feadship was built as a tribute to her.
