Viking Yachts’ recent 2011 dealer meeting attracted principals from its domestic dealerships and international representatives from as far away as Australia to premiere the Viking 66 Convertible.

After the business meetings, the dealers hopped aboard the new Viking for sea trials, where they experienced the yacht’s 40-plus-knot speed.

Dealers also sea-trialed a new Viking 70 Convertible, a Viking 42 Open with Cummins MerCruiser diesels matched to Zeus pod drives and a Viking 50 Convertible with Caterpillar power and ZF’s 4000 Series pod-drive propulsion system, the company said.
