I Can't open these links for the new Heesen discussed here?

Are they broken or is it my mac?

I am so enamored by Heesens, both the exterior and Interiors are right on line with how I want the yacht that we eventually purchase to look like.

I saw on yachtworld a listing for New Century, a 143' semi displacement yacht built in 1997 by Heesen. Does anyone know much about this yacht's history and anything that might be of interest to me knowing? Can a helicopter really land on top of the hot tub? It looks to me on this yacht anyways that the radar arch is awfully close to that landing area! And what about the weight of the helicopter? Anyone know about this? Or have seen a chopper land on a Heesen's hot tub cover/helipad design?

I keep thinking we should start small, well 143' is smaller then the 50meters we were looking at in the begining anyways, and also buy a used yacht to get our sea legs and see if this yachting lifestyle is what we want to do for a few years.

And the advice of my broker says that is the way for us to go.

At the point of finally building in a year or two AFTER we buy something used and see if yachting is a pleasure or a big pain in the you know where... I am thinking we will build our dream yacht once we know what it is we want in layouts, speed, stability, interiors etc..

Hopefully it will be a design from AMG as I love the exploration yacht with the observation deck he drew on my behalf.

I hope everyone is not bored to tears with my questions yet! I know I have been lurking for about a year here and as of yet don't have a yacht to show for it! lol, One day soon... Is buying a yacht as difficult for others as it has been for my partner and I to commit to this idea? All told I began the looking about 2 years ago! Yikes!
