Launched during a Dutch winter so cold workers skated to the yard at Kaag, Arkan showed clear evolution of styling from predecessors such as Enterprise III and Karina C. Long gone was the fantail stern, although the aft main deck remained well covered and could be enclosed in bad weather. The 37.95-metre Arkan changed hands in 1998 and was renamed Matanthar. When that owner upgraded to the 45.70-metre Carmac VII, this yacht was sold and renamed Monaco. As Monaco, this petit Feadship with a maindeck owner’s stateroom was a very active charter yacht.
