After working on the things for the last 16 years it's the last thing I'd want!
Happy with my 42 year old 8 meter sailboat thanks.
I agree, out of interest what did you work on and do on them?Happy with my 42 year old 8 meter sailboat thanks.

did a short spell as engineer on a 120ft motorsailer calle ACT IV (Ex ABC)
a couple of seasons on a 26 mtr Jongert (La Perla, the first one) as Mate, joined "Lone Ranger" in 96 as Engineer for Tenders untill 2002, I took a year out during that time, and managed a 10 month re-fit on a 19 meter Van Dam Nordia steel sailboat (Oyimbo)before getting the shout to go back to Lone Ranger.
After I left Lone Ranger, I did a few months with Sunseeker here in Mallorca, doing warranty work, before going to work for my present boss, running his Johnson 87 M/Y, been with this family for over 7 years now.
I think a few more years will do me. That'll take me to 55. Then I intend to enjoy what I have while I can. Will probably just do some bits and bobs, the odd delivery etc.

It appears Enigma has a gas turbine too. I imagine the fuel consumption of something like that or Ecstasea at full chat would be eye watering - even in superyacht terms.
One day over lunch, the Chief told me a very funny story about a shark getting sucked up into one of the jets. I believe she has quite a good range, untill they fire up the turbine, then they can burn everything off in 24hrs!

Can I ask the yacht experts here, how would you dock this thing with it being so wide, would you need two spaces, and second has anyone ordered one yet and how much would it cost?

I would *imagine* - you wouldn't so much as dock it. It would be left 'outside' of the Harbour at anchor. Commute by an equally impressive Flotilla of support boats. like this ?> Anyone ordered?
Not as far as I am aware.....
How much ?
