Very good point about delivery time. A few Taiwan yards are famous for delivering early, few months ahead of the schedule at times for large...
She looks beautiful. Not sure if the SOLAS lifeboat at the end of the stern is a good idea though. Maybe feadship won't build your design, but...
Hey, which 130' is it? Do you have the Nautor Swan or the Wally under construction. If it's one of those two, I will be happy to trade this...
Wow, so they got divorced after all. I have a mixed feeling about the amount of compensation she got. On the one hand, she did marry him for...
So, what is the advantage of the DynoRig? I don't think that it carries more sail area than a aft-and-fore rigged cutter. I suppose that since...
I didn't want to comment on this because it's hard to stay rational when such graphic images are shown. If you look back at history, the...
I wonder if the DynaRig can really combine the downwind performance of square rig and the upwind performance of fore-and-aft rig. Regardless,...
Well, once you go into the 140' range. We are talking about 8 digit figures from a well known yard. You can customize the yacht to your desire...
I don't think we will ever know the build price for the 143. Even if it is offered for sale, you have to factor in depreciation, also well as the...
First of all, the 143 does have an engine. It has a Catepillar. It also has two generators. I am actaully suprised that it only has one main...
I am curious to know what might have happened if he docked the boat. What happened to the other boats at that marina where he refused to dock?
IIRC, she was. I think there were few ex-CCCG vessel on the market recently. One of them was a 214' offered by the same company that did GIANT. I...
To be fair, not all converted yachts are bad. But in the case with Giant, if you they aren't even willing to spend money on the engine, you really...
I read it somewhere that Bart Roberts was a lousy conversion job. Which is one of the reason why it had such a hard time on the market. Mind you...
As far as structural soundness, cost and logistics are concerned. I don't think the two large tenders on the side is a good idea. It is going...
How big is your main yacht? How big is the large tender/game boat? If you want to carry a rather tall tender, you have a few options. I am not...
Another added benefit of diesel electric is the option of using azipod drive. Probably not something you want on a 86 footer though. I think...
I don't want to stir the pot, but I am having a hard time trying to understand your logic. What is wrong with those 99.99% of people driving an...
Actually I think the designer is the one that's responsible for the interior and exterior look, the builder followed the specification and layout...
It was a big news back in Taiwan and to the east asian yacht industry. The owner of the yacht is public knowledge, pretty easy to guess from the...
