I very much like it's design on those pics - appears to be more "beautiful" & cooler than the earlier Revolt.  That leaning foremast must be retractable somehow or it would be an obstruction when loading containers in the fore-hold.

Also, if this ship will really sail as they say, our dear member Tomas might be the one frequently supplying us with pics of her from his drone/bridge.  ;)

Perhaps that's not a fore-hold.  It's the pop-up accommodation and wheelhouse for the early years.

@Capt Ted - you will need a new signature text!
