Delta has launched a new yacht. She is apparently the new "Silver Shallis", bold baby blue hull colour. Anyone close enough to grab pics?

[Yacht News]

Interestingly, 'Project Monarch' which is a yacht that was supposed to be under build by Northern Marine will be finished at Delta's facilities. The new project was started at Northern Marine but I believe the project ran into trouble. So it will be finished at Delta with funding from Cat financial. If I remember correctly, Capt Tom, took pictures of this project he saw during his travels?

Right you are, Ron.

Thanks Tom, will she bear the nothern marine badge? or the Delta badge? Probably the former?

[CaptTom]

Not sure but I guess since Northern built the hull it would have their name.

As you guys should know, a number of projects going on at Delta Marine. There's a 66-meter superyacht in build there under project name "Invader". She is scheduled to be launched in 2013..which isn't too far away so I just thought it would be nice to keep you guys informed.

Speaking of "Laurel"...

[Yacht News]

The 45-meter "Gran Finale" passed about 130 miles to the north of Barbados, she's heading for St. Lucia! Was hoping she would have stopped here...nice day for photographing yachts!

[Yacht News]

Good news, DeltaMarine "Laurel" has been sold! wow!

[Yacht News]

The delta yacht built as "Mr.Terrible" has been sold, renamed "Usher".

[Yacht News]

The Delta 50-meter "Arianna" has had her splash on the small screen by appearing in a video that Miami rapper Pitbull did. I believe the 'name' of the lady singing the song is Arianna and they used the yacht with the same name in the shoot for what essentially seems to be a Fiat commercial.

I "heard" about the video on Instagram from Sam Hubintette who was one of the drivers for the commercial... really one of the worst things I have ever seen or listened to.

Abhorrently bad.

Single handedly redefined the word "awful".

I wanted to pour acid in my ears to wash away the pain.

If I was the owner of the yacht in question I would have to sell it just to distance myself from the awfulness.

The ladies in the above image are the only redeeming thing about the entire sordid mess.
