Couple of photos underway

Yes, she's been bimbling about the solent for a while, trials I guess. Looks very nice. not out there this evening tho.

Just spotted her in Southampton, along with another nice boat!

That looks like the SS Sheildhall, last working steamship in the UK or something.

She was anchored in Thorness Bay this afternoon.

Thread bump!

For those interested Boat International magazine have an in depth article on this yacht in this month's issue.

Some great photos of her in her heyday together with the restoration and the finished article which I have to say looks fantastic.

She looks so elegant and has that certain grace many modern yachts are so lacking.

Just all you'd need I would like to think.
Without a doubt, far far more appealing to me than the majority of 'Yachts' in the $60m Superyacht thread - especially when you add the sailing boats that are to travel with her.....

Apparently the owner's brief was that it had to look like a 'boat' and not a 'yacht'

The Riva in the photo isn't a Riva, it was custom made as the tender. I was just told who made it but forgotten already, any ideas?

[mickrick]

Did I see her in Palma a couple of weeks ago? If not there was something just as lovely.
ETA Cockwells are building nice tenders now. Just guessing...

When they took the wheelhouse off for remodelling, guess what it was made of?

BRASS.

Definitely heavier than expected!




Tender by Casse Tête.

I thought that was her. Yummy, very yummy!

Yep she is in Palma now.

I reckon you must have been stood on the deck of a big schooner to take that photo.

Was it your guys having a late night on the bow thruster?

[J3JCV]

Well spotted - although at that time of night we weren't hard to miss!!

[Fishtigua]

A quick look around her.
