| Lurssen's Project Falcon is out!
The long awaited project Falcon from Lurssen has now become a reality...She spashed apparently last Saturday...she is a real beauty i tell you. Sporting what appears to be an almost ash-grey polished hull colour with intermediate red and white boot line. The superstructure is white and the composite really came through nicely. Along the midships area on the main deck area there seems to be a full beam set of glass windows...indicating either owners room or might be a full beam dining area. Falcon appears to be a 5 or 6 decker yacht..

"kismet" means fortune, destiny and fate.

Actually there is no contradiction, it is just a matter of perspective. In the eastern culture you only reach a fortune if it is a part of your destiny and if your fate allows you to reach it.
hope this short explanation covers the back ground.

You all heard that the Kismet is supposed to be at the 2007 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) later in September?

Kismet is also a Finnish brand of chocolate, but I doubt that's where the owner got his inspiration.

For those who can't seem to get enough of Chuck Gnaegy's and Carl's review and pictures of the Lurssen Kismet, here are some more on Reymond Langton Design's website.
If you want to revert to our review here on YF (which is by the way superb quality), see here: http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/lu...24-kismet.html
However, the Lurssen pictures of the interior of Kismet from Reymond Langton are here: http://www.reymondlangtondesign.com/index.php?id=121 _ | |
