I love the second picture!
One question, I have seen that her home port will be "Bloody Bay" - I wondered where is that?

Cayman Islands.

The Christensen "Odessa" is also registered in Bloody Bay.

Hi,

So is the Abeking yacht C2, it is an alternative Port to Georgetown used by the Cayman Islands

On the subject this thread is titled I hear the trees rustling that there has been a stop work order given on this boat.

Do any of you well informed boat watchers have the scoop on this?

I always thought that getting information about what is going behind the scenes is your job!

Does this mean that she might end up on the market?

At this stage your guess is as good as mine in regard to this, I have asked a few others but not got anything more than I heard already

As you may know, I just hope that she ends up on the market. That's always when all the good info about a yacht gets released.

Not always germanyachting, I think she has already been sold when she was project 'Flash' and became project 'Rocky' and no infos were released..
Ok she was under construction at this time but you do not always get information about yachts which are for sale shortly after their delivery. Examples are Ice or Radiant.

All kinds of things happen. Deals fall through at the last minute, decisions change. Look what happened to the Benetti that was to be "Amnesia IV". She launched as "Nataly" didn't she?

First off, project names change without ownership change. Second, both those scenarios are different issues with the sale of the yacht. In the case of Ice, the owner had an offer that he could not refuse and took it. Radiant was similar but ended up being brokered by some agency (can't remember off the top of my head). Basically the same thing as throwing Pelorus and Rising Sun in there. These yacht's were not really on the market. They had an offer made to them and the owners accepted it. What I am referring to is if the project goes far south enough with the financing aspect and there is no immediate buyer, it is possible that she will enter the market like many other yachts out there. Please, get your facts straight. Your counter argument does not even have any basis as the conditions of the sale are outlined correctly in my post, not yours.

I thought she was sold last minute, not necessarily a deal falling through. I was under the impression that the owner of the Amnesia series likes to have a yacht in build and, who knows, maybe the owner has something else out there.

Germanyachting, keep cool.
If you felt attacked I am really sorry for that it was not my intention!!

However lets stop this discusion until we have more reliable information.

You can see the helipad area on the bow of "ACE", clearly marked with an "A".

Hi,

It is rare for a project under construction to change names even if the beneficial Owner changes.

Look at the last couple of Nobiskrug deliveries as examples of this
