I know Dr Malya owns Indian Empress.
Anybody know who owns any of the others?
I see one is called Iceman. Would that be Kimmis?

I believe 'Force Blue' is owned by that fat, white haired, Benneton bloke. Or at least I assume it still is now that it's not in Italian waters: http://www.superyachts.com/news/my-force-blue-seiz...

....also, 'The Snapper' is/was Eddie Jordan's, and yes 'Iceman' is Kimi's toy.

I'd guess that one of them will be Mike Gascoynes boat, he sailed there earlier in the week.

I've had the F1 channel on in the background all day and happened to catch a bit of an interview Heikki Kovalainen. He was asked about where was the best nightlife in Monaco and he said something along the lines of:

"I would think on Kimi's yacht. I won't go on before the race as I'm afraid it might have an adverse affect on my performance during the race."

hehe

That is seriously ugly, it looks like a fishing boat that has been converted.

The Harle is my old bosses boat. Last time I was on it he gave me a bottle of olive oil and a bottle of balsamic vinegar - leftovers from the royal wedding, cheap sod.

A friend of mine used to work on one of these boats and then went to work for a company that manages them. You would not believe the histrionics that go on about where your boat is moored in the harbour and who is next to you for the GP. These people are obviously used to pretty much getting what they want when they want but come the Moncao GP there's a massive pecking order for moorings.

Talking of the pecking order I think 'The Snapper'(I presumer it's still Eddie's) has the best place sat directly on the chicane after the tunnel. Although he did nearly have had a GP3 car on his deck...
