It was a 90' Monk designed McQueen. I was in Ft. Lauderdale for the kick-off rally. Your question stumped me because I didn't recall seeing another brand of passagemaker, although I vaguely remember a Krogen and a Northern Marine participating.

You are right!
A Monk-McQueen, a Krogen and a Seaton boat entered that rally as`well.
Your turn !

At 150', this yacht is among the smallest to have a helicopter garage, but what's really impressive is... the bay was pressurized to protect the helicopter from the salt air environment.
What was her original name, who built her and what's her new name?

I'm not very creative about questions. So here is an easy one:
Which yachts helped Mirabella V, when she had her big problem?

Yes, Ecstasea was one. But there were two yachts! which was the other one? Come on. This question is easy. The yacht has a blue hull.

That's it. But what exactly was his rationale for naming his first yacht after a cartoon character?

The origins of names have always been interesting. There was some speculation about "Izanami", which was later debunked by one of our members. "Katana" (ex-ECO) was derived from the name of the Samuri sword. An appropriate name for this yacht given its ability to "slice" through head seas and LE's interest in all things Japanese.
On this subject, where was the name "Octopus" derived from?
