I saw on another site that Eclipse is supposedly out of the shed. Can anyone confirm?

Her lines remind me of Enigma, my all time favorite. Could always pick out her silhouette from over 5 miles away when she was coming into Lauderdale about e/o year..

Wow.
That's amazing.
I simply can't imagine a [personal] boat that's 160+ meters.
We spend a lot of time on both 40 and 50 meter boats, but 160? Just mind boggling to me personally. We bark about the annual expenses to maintain and operate 40 meters. I can only imagine what 160 would entail.
Hip hip hurray for the global recession. 
What would one guess to be a suitable crew for a 160 meter boat? 40 or so staff?

Don't tell me you entertain your English soccer club on a mere 40 or 50m yacht. Isn't that a bit cramped?

40?! More like 140!
Lady Moura (105.8m) has 75 staff when the owner is on board. During the off season, I heard that number drops to 45 to keep the boat in tip top shape.

Hi,
I had heard that launch was near as it seems she has become too heavy for the floating dock it was being built in.
I saw a few comments on peoples social networking sites today indicating that it had been launched but no photos had surfaced.

You must have me mistaken for someone else.
Unless I'm totally missing your reference in a cloud of humor.

Hi,
I think NYCAP was making reference to the fact that it seems the Owner of the large vessel is the Owner of the 2009 English FA Cup Champions who are also a participant in the Premiership- Chelsea Football Club.
He and thousands of fans hope that next season they with the help of the latest top flight Manager can finally galvanise all the top individual talents he has spent millions on into a cohesive team that can lift the Champions League

Thank you for translating K1W1. It's hell when you try to explain a joke.

The boat you've posted is Atabeyki designed and she is 147 meters. Indeed she has space for 3 helicopters. The atrium is below the 20 meter pool, which will be made of a glass bottom and light will ripple down. The circles on the sides do retract to act as the doors to this atrium. They have 9 meters diameter. I was fortunate to have a presentation of the boat by Hermidas himself.
