Here is a nice photo of a model of the s/y Eos built by Lurssen. The pic is a bit distorted because of the display case I believe. Nice model though, very lifelike.

shot this one 24-07-2007, near Porquerolles France, During Tall ships race Toulon 2007. Think this was not a participant but still a nice vessel.
Would be gratefull if anyone can identify her.

She was built for the chairman of the board of directors of the Volkswagen AG (VW). Ferdinand Piech. He sold her. Now he owns a Swan 45.

Here you are

The Mirabella V in a rare moment at the La Ciotat refit yard in Europe has had her mast removed. Her mast is the tallest mast on a sailing vessel- in the world. The closest that comes to her in terms of mast length is the recently launched Perini Navi Salute-at about 75M-. The Mirabella V had her near 90M mast de-stepped at the yard and she apparently is there for work.

My big brother Phil worked on Fleurtje for two years, loved the boat hated all the varnish, I think she's up for sale at the moment. My Big Boat dreams are from Spirit Yachts UK. Very classic with a modern twist. Their 70' was the one in Venice in the last James Bond, the first sail boat on the Grande Canale in 40 years.

Wow. I can't believe all of these wonderful sailing yachts. I know they have alot of sailers like the islander but it look like someone took a power yacht and stuck a few toothpicks in it, but it still is a very nice boat.
I wish I could post a few picture but being here on Amelia Island theres mainly
shrimpboats, smallish boats, one large yacht that is a casino, a few fairly big yachts at the "yacht Marina" on the other side of the island, and one large replica sailboat that come into the harbor every now and then.
your friend,

The fifth most expensive marina in the world, apparently, Puerto Portals in the bay of Palma, Mallorca, is visited by a great many mega sailing yachts - from our humble anchorage we have watched too many to count, coming and going. It's impossible to be jealous though. Our 72' schooner may be old and battered but it only takes the two of us to sail her anywhere we want to go. Counting crew on the visitors, there are rarely less than five... imagine the cost of keeping all those people just so you can get from A to B! Imagine the lack of privacy - with the exception of the really gigantic yachts, the presence of crew must be impossible to ignore.

Some of those vessels are so costly and immaculate that you'd be afraid to sit on any of the seating in case you crumpled the cushions - not my idea of an asset to be enjoyed. Inside the marina there are huge yachts that never go out or, if they do, they don't go more than a couple of miles to drop the anchor for the day, mostly scurrying back in before it gets dark!

This is probably anarchy, but I'd bet most people with a small yacht, whether sail or motor, have a lot more fun with their vessels than most of the owners of these huge showpieces...

When I was working in Lauderdale through the early 90's there was a beautiful saillboat kept at the town dock by Las Olas (before they were rebuilt), but I just can't remember her name. Maybe some of you may remember her and know what's happened to her. She was about 100' with a beautifully varnished hull and green sails. She was rumored to have a grand piano on board.

Man after my own heart. Having a boat and not going out on the water to enjoy that space and food for the soul that can be found there, has always seemed strange to me. Enjoy!
A little anarchy never hurt anyone except those that have stopped living anyway.
