Lady Christine by Oceanco Yacht

K1W1 · 07-16-2008, 05:10 AM

Hi,

I think there might be two yachts with the same name here, cruising up the Delaware River on July 04 and then in Croatia on July 16 of the same year would have meant they were proceeding to sea and proceeded at 18.45 Kts for 12 days.

(I used the distance from Philly to Rijeka as my points of reference as I couldn't find Chester in my route calculator, which upon careful checking seems to be a POS)

Since first posting I looked up the boats specs she has an advertised cruise of 14 kts with a range of 5000 Nm and a max of 16kts. Going at this speed would reduce the range by a lot.

According to a website dedicated to spotting yachts, the Oceanco Lady Christina was in Annapolis, USA on the 1st July.

Perhaps the similarity of name, and to an extent, styling, is cause for confusion.

When I first saw Lady Christina on the front cover of a magazine, I did think it was a new Lady Christine.

It's taken a while to make sure I am the names the right way round now.

Hello,
I'm from Rijeka,Croatia,and have seen Lady Christine these days in my city.It looks magnificent.I was wondering, are the owners of such boats known?
Is there more than one Lady Christine?

The owners care a great deal about their privacy,evidently, since I haven't seen any people on the boat.The blinds are shut and it all seems very empty,but of course,I suppose I might be wrong about it.

Anyway,it is a beautiful boat.Thank you for all incoming answers

Hi, there was a 42 m yacht with the same name and owners before but today I think she is the only big yacht with this name. As we don´t discuss owners here, I will not reveal their names, but you have probably never heard about them if you are not into sail racing...

Well there is another yacht built by oceAnco with a similar name. She is the Lady Christina, of course not the same yacht you are talking . She was launched and delivered in 2005.

Here is a link to Lady Christina:

was sitting on the banks of the hudson river when the most beautiful yacht I have ever seen passed by. In Kingston New York. she was heading north at an incredible pace. The "Lady Christine" is truly a work of art!

Been saying that for years my friend. She was everyones favourite during design and I spent more time on design with her than any of the others. I started with constelation but was soon moved to lady Christine and started on her lifeboat launchers.(my personal pride and joy). The whole company preferred her over the others being built at that time. Consteltion, Stargate, Al Mirqab (Indian Princess) and Pegasus. Lady Christine still catched the eye of all spectators where ever she is. Last I saw her was off Cowes fron during Cowes Week. Miss her greatly! Glad she still looks the best. Thanks for the info

Hi all,

I will post an introduction post shortly, but I thought I would share this picture first. I live in the Albany, NY area and saw this yacht in Troy, NY. After a search on Google, I found this thread. Here is the picture I took today.

DITTO !!! Michael, great pic. new amongst the old. You made an old man nearly cry here. Fantastic to see she still has all her glory.I put my life and soul into so many of her features. I just wish some of you guys and dolls could actually see onboard. She was the flag ship with every conceivable new extra we couls come up with. The really good thing here is this is the first ever pic i have seen with the heli actually onboard. I had the pleasure of designing all that was needed to enable the heli deck. From the hatch (featured earlier by me) to the ventilation of the tanks. Heli fule being a bit more volitile than her main engine fuel. I remember like yesterday that some Dutch idiot wanted to ventilate the fuel tank out the ass end of upper deck which was directly above maindeck where smokink was allowed. I ended up in so many design argument over this work of art I feel so proud to have made this beuaty. Would love to visit again if Anyone is reading this. Thanks from all the original design team ..Really!!!! you guys make us proud.!!
