Name this classic plus her original name and owner:

Now named Avante, I believe this 116 Feadship was originally Christened "Highlander" in 1967 and was owned by the famous Yachtsman, Malcolm Forbes. She suffered a serious fire years ago and was rebuilt in Merrill Stevens.

You are correct, and welcome aboard!!

Your turn Sean.

Wow. Lets see...
Although it's hard to see this classics original beauty, she was at one time a real head turner. How about a name, the builder and maybe a year.

She is the 1929 Trumpy "High Spirits"

I was the First Mate on her many years ago. My favorite of all the boats I ever worked on.
Take it away Castlerock.

Give me the Name and the Builder:

Castlerock · 04-04-2007, 08:28 AM

Due to lack of activity, I will give a clue:

She just passed throught the Panama Canal to the Pacific.

I wouldnt put money on it but looks like a Feadship..Cant think of name but built 3-4 years ago??? Im Wrong I know it..Just recognise it from somewhere

Castlerock · 04-04-2007, 08:42 AM

Not a Feadship.

Ken Bracewell · 04-04-2007, 09:26 AM

I recognize Royal Eagle, but can't recall who built her.
I know it's an Italian yard because they are the only ones who would put a generator exhaust so low in the water as to splash guests two piers away when they are running!

Castlerock · 04-04-2007, 09:29 AM

Ken,

Indeed she is Royal Eagle built by Picchiotti.

As I recall she was at Casey's and you were at Goat Island. Must be some generator!!

Your turn.

Ken must be on an Easter cruise to the area outside the coverage of the satellites.

Happy Easter to all.

Sorry Guys. I have been out of range (although you can never really hide from $7/minute satellite internet!)
I'll get it rolling again.
Name and Location Please:

Well with thanks to Laren Schweizer we now know she is "Bad Girl"

As for location, must be in the New England area.
Must be a shallow channel in or out of port with the tender acting as a spotter.

Cheers all
