I don't know if you can call Fox Harb'r a small yacht..To me i think her dimensions are a bit decieving. She may be small compared to others like Mirabella V and Tiara but she is certainly not that. To me her lines are even more sleek than that of her Company mate Tiara. As a Sloop, the Fox is not small...she optimizes the space availible in many ways. I saw her about a week ago when she sailed up my side of the island.. and even though i know her dimensions i was shocked to see her size!

"Small" is a relative term, of course. I mean, she's only (cough) 132' long. Of the current mega-sailors and recent Alloys built, she's on the lower end. But like you said, her lines are beautiful. While I admire Tiara, the flybridge kinda' detracts from the overall look. Fox is a happy medium... not too large as to be limited by excessive draft, but definitely not too small either.

I understand what you are saying..

Kevin, i have never seen a yacht stayed so long at Port St. Charles before though. DestinationFox Harbour was here for about 4 weeks. Either the owner loves Barbados or maybe some Barbadian connections?...Just Kidding.

Another yacht came to the marnina this morning, but i am not so sure if she is new. They have the webcam zoomed and it makes the yacht harder to identify. However i believe it could be Allergria again. What do you guys think?

From the steaming mast it could be an Amels. What do you guys think?

The yacht is indeed an Amels.. It is the Amels La Masquerade

PS.. There is another yacht that came in the Bridgetown port.. she left there about an hour ago to presumably go to the marina. so she sould be there now.. but when i got my binoculars.. she was a bit to far to make a positive ID.

Just got back home from in the area of the Port St. Charles marina...i went for a drive down that side of the island and saw the Fox and the La Masqurade as well as a new arrival.

The new arrival was the Sherekhan. I believe this is her first trip down here to Barbados but i could be wrong. However, she is out at anchor and not at a slip berth. I do not believe she could fit in the marina at this point.

Another new arrival...she is one of the Codecasa builds. It looks more to be 'Apogee.' She is on the Starboard side of La Masquerade.

I forgot to change, the vessel that looked like the Apogee,, was indeed the Lady Ann Magee.

Yesterday i spotted the Destination Fox Harb'r up here by me.. She was in the 'Shallow Draught' moored.. where all the pleasure craft and small yachts are. BTW, the Shallow Draught is in Bridgetown and has nothing to do with Port St. Charles. I rushed from home to get down there to take pics.. to only realise she sped away from the 'Draught' heading Northwards for Port St. Charles. I was so mad!

Alloy s/y Destination Fox Harb'r just came back into the Marina. She is currently manouvering to the #1 Slip.. where m/yLa Masquerade was.

In addition to this, Amels m/y La Masquerade left.

Hi guys,
As a favor, can you save a photo of the webcam and post in the thread instead of just posting the link to the cam? I check this thread every few days, but when I do I don't see what you're talking about since the yachts have left or the webcam angle has changed. Today, I see the beach and the forward roller on some sailboat. Or am I missing something else? Thanks.

Hey Tom (capt) i saved a few images a while ago and i was tryign to post them but they were too big to upload and the resrictions would not allow me to so i gave up as i am not sure how to post it anyother way.

BTW, the roller that you are seeing in front of the cam are the rollers of the Alloy s/y Destination Fox Harb'r.

Yachtluver, when I resize photos to post here, I open them with MS Paint, go to Image on the top menu, click on Stretrch/Skew option and enter numbers less than 100 for the horizontal and vertical percentages in the top section (stretch). I usually use a percent of 30 for each, then click okay (you'll have to test that since your original photos may be larger/smaller than mine). I then save the file under another name, protecting the original photo. Then you can upload the newly saved photo to the threads. I figure everyone should have Paint on their PC's. Many folks use other tools, which is fine.
Hope that helps.

I don't know how this will come out.. i never did this before so here goes..

The first was of the Mast of Fox Harb'r,
The Second was of Fox Harb'r,
The Third was of La Masquerade and an unidentified sail yacht that i wanted to know about but i didn't know how to edit the pics in the manner Capt Tom suggested. They look aweful though,however it was my first time fiddling around with it.
