I posted on the F1 thread, Smerelda was berthed in the spot Dilbar usually sat this year but I didn't recognise the twin blue funneled "charter" looking one behind it.
Was it Abdulaziz?
The AIS was lost in that area
It's not £60m it's only ("only") £10m but it's a very smart looking boat.

This is a cool video of Graeme Harts new Expedition Yacht. Ready for fit out. The NZ newspapers state the 107M yacht is worth 78M and that would be NZD so around GBP40M. Doesn't seem a lot for such a large yacht. However it puts into perspective all the rubbish spouted about values.

The finished yacht will look like this-note the 21M tender on the Bow.
Having just taken delivery of the above. The owner has commissioned this. 117M. I suppose the mentality is, by the time this one is built the current yacht will be good for the scrap yard.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9wqIMr7KUU

From what I hear he is already wanting to sell the first yacht, Kleven are experience major aggro trying to get the interior done. PW said:

I did wonder about that. There hasn't been any info about the interior released that I've seen, so I can only guess what level of quality or detail they are going for, but for a first attempt I suppose it was always going to be a "learning experience".PW said:

Are you sure they are doing the fitout. I thought NZ would be the place to get it done.
No idea - like I said, there's been no information.I don't know why you'd want to do it in NZ - no doubt there are people there more than capable, but are they that cheap that it makes it worth transporting a half-finished boat to the other side of the planet?

He is a NZ'r and lives there- it's more expensive to do fit outs there than most other places. I thought maybe he would support the local industry but then again if that were true he would have had the yacht built there.
I last heard it was supposed to be a bunch of Finns sub-contracted to do it, but haven't shown up yet. Some nice boats/ships/yachts on this thread, quite eye opening (and watering) as to the operating costs of them too. If I were in the position to have a ship (and it would be a ship) built it would have to be a) primarily sail driven and b) capable of ocean going – what’s the point in having a large vessel if its restricted to coastal waters.
I wonder what it would cost to have a Galleon or a ship like the HMS Victory built (was she ever referred to as a Galleon or was that a Spanish thing) and I imagine it would be without cannon sadly. Though it would be built using modern materials rather than lots of wood; that would just be used for above the waterline cladding.

Fun though it might be for the first few weeks, I can imagine it would be inferior to a modern plastic fantastic in every single way.Other than nut-gripping, which is by far the most important consideration in this kind of silliness, so get on with it!

I dare say the performance would be sub-par compared to even a small modern oceangoing yacht. It would be:Other than nut-gripping, which is by far the most important consideration in this kind of silliness, so get on with it!
a) Slow - Victory could muster 9 knots most of the time (probably looking at the best part of a month to sail from the UK to the Caribbean assuming continuous favourable winds and weather – not likely)
b) the into wind performance would be atrocious I imagine you would have some gaff rigged sails between the masts so you could still move? other than that you would be relying on the backup diesels (these days) which will burn a lot of fuel pushing a ship (3,500 tonnes displacement) like that.
c) a large crew is required as there are a lot of sails to manage
If only I had the money, I imagine I'd need to be a multi billionaire to even consider having one built; it would certainly be a head turner though.

What looks like Alfa Nero has a prime location in Sydney Harbour right now. Bigger than everything but the aircraft carrier and cruise ships lol
