I was mucking about with work regarding my hire car this week and taking random photos of it up and down the coast, this one however happens to capture Savannah, a new 83m Feadship - When I saw her on the IYCA earlier made me stop and stare. She is a very impressive yacht and although bigger ones were parked next door she really stood out.

nice photo.
I saw her this summer, great looking boat but don't think she will be too good with a following sea


my photo isn't so great..

Oh and Raymond's son ? How is it someone who inherited his 80m is labelled as an entrepreneur?

I was muttering the exact same thing whilst watching it.

Although, to be fair, with its current useage/saturation in the media, the term entrepreneur in general is really starting to piss me off.

Presumably they have to describe them as something, and it would be harder to persuade people to be filmed if they were described as 'trustafarian' or 'rich wastrel' instead of the relatively meaningless 'entreprenuer'.

With the greatest of respect to those that may be the Owners, by Christ, that world and level of dotting is not for me. The dude on the Isle of Man screamed 'trying to hard' to me.

Easy for me to say, but once people get to a certain wealth point they really do start believing their own hype and such
Sorry for derail, but I found some of the characters to be tragic.

Far rather be normal.

I can see why, given the means, I might want a superyacht. Gauche and awful though they all are.

I can't see why I'd want to go on itv to talk about it. That's just gauche in the extreme.

I saw Savannah In Antibes a few weeks ago. Woulda loved a tour down below decks, To see those glass windows!

FFS, talk about sloppy journalism:

A £150milliion yacht thought to be the biggest in the world has taken shelter from Storm Clodagh in Devon before heading out to the Bahamas.

The newly built Lady Lara is thought to be the 51st largest yacht in the world and is owned by billionaire Alexander Machkevitch, who is worth an estimated £2billion.

I took particular exception to them calling the Devon countryside 'dour' on 2 occasions!

I can't imagine Savannah is comfortable in a head sea, a typical De Vries Feadship, narrow and high will pitch like a pig, cracking looking though.

And no mention of the owners corruption and interest in 13 yo girls. It's comical., most yachts in this forum, the owner is a criminal.too funny really

I think if you want to be pedantic pretty much 99% of wealthy people have stood on somebodies toes to get where they are, although l am not condoning 13yr old girls.

99% of people.

Met many, many more people who are absolute dickwads than I have billionaires.

Money has nothing to do with attitudes, behaviour or criminality, but people like to point out when wealthy people do something wrong, or having "poor taste" is a popular one, as if it's some sort of revelation rather than a coincidence that they also have millions in the bank.

Do something wrong? You should read the rap sheet on this guy.

I am sure you have met more dickwads then billionaires, as the ratio is stacked heavily in the dickwads favour,

As you work in the industry like l do l am sure you know what l mean. I don't say these people are bad merely the likely hood of them stepping on somebodies toes to get where they are is high,

1.5 billion pounds

It think Sebastian Shakespeare is getting his pounds and dollars mixed up again, this is more accurate in 2011 from two different reporters - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2029182/Ro... stunningly also from the DM.


Sebastian Shakespeare sounds like a clueless moron.

[Burwood]

The only billion dollar yacht will be Triple Deuce '222' metres and may be finished in 2018. eclipse was 250-300 million gbp yacht when finished in 2009.
