It actually makes more sense for a manufacturer to use a site like this. Frankly, I don't have more than half a dozen hard copy yacht magazines....
Abramovich.. Ultimate spin? Here's another speculative article. Abramovich has got to be having a seriously good chuckle. :D...
Segway I'm sure that at the least they'd be able to make hubcaps for the segways to match those on the Derham. Beautiful example. I think the...
If the vessel is indeed to be another of the Abramovich fleet he needs the space. How else could he celebrate with the whole team when they win....
Kelly Departures from tradition are not an issue for me. My enthusiasm for Skat and for AMG's Anemone should indicate that I welcome something...
Kelly When a vessel, or for that matter any structure, gets larger, any mis-step in design is magnified. What might be overlooked on a smaller...
Exactly! I would think that it becomes progressively more difficult to design a vessel that doesn't look like a cruise ship as the size...
Brian: Well stated. I am, err, involved in the oil patch. That being said, I do understand very well that petroleum is a finite resource. The...
Good on Abramovich, if it is indeed his project. Raising the bar and challenging the builders makes it better for all of us.

:D Perhaps irreverant.. the word skat has many meanings in many places. One usage is as a euphemism for wild animal excrement when tracking in the...
White or undyed fuel is tax in. Dyed fuel is tax out fuel. Depending on the country dyed fuel is for commercial use only, sometimes for fishing...

Who actually designs the bridges? Is the layout the preference of the capitain or do the designers just do it?
Best bridge. I'd go for Triton or Skat. I wonder if there's anything that I don't like about Skat. :)
Wonder if the differences in visibility are as pronounced as they would appear to be. Great comparison material!
Using kites has come up before. This is a small craft. Wonder if it could be scaled up? I wonder how he'll do....
Any chance of some photos of the engine room on one of the Swath pilot ships? What is the draught?
AMG Exactly right. The acceleration was great but leaning forward for the next stroke nullified the momentum. I tried one about 10 years ago and...
AMG take a look at Filippi http://www.filippiboats.it/imbarcazioni_eng.htm The new wing boats are superb. Perhaps narrowing R47 and using...
