Thank you, Mark, for the very thoughful and generous comments.

To keep you informed as well as the Forumn membership, I am attaching the design for my latest 205 foot (63 meter) Ultimate Yacht Escort Ship.

I am particularly proud of the concept to add a separate hangar for the helicopter on te helo deck. This allows the bird to be stored and prepped for operations before and after transits and passages very efficiently. Furthermore, this precludes the requirement to move it down to the main deck for any reason.

The additional interior hanagr space on the main deck without the helicopter is stunning.

On the drawing I have a Eurocopter EC-135 pictured both in the helo hangar and on deck as well as the profile of a Garlington 44 on the main aft deck.

You cannot see the accommodation for a Wally 47 on the port side of the Garlington, as well as the cars, Rivas, RIBS and 8 jet skis inside the hangar.

The YES 205 will feature 4 luxury guest staterooms, a sky lounge above the pilot house and an aft facing al fresco dining area overlooking the helo deck.

The accommodations include a full commercial laundry and pressing room, a full gymnasium, with separate captain's cabin and ship's office aft of the pilot house.

This could obviously serve as a very comfortable luxury cruising yacht, as it will introduce the wonderful combination of Flume tank anti-roll system operating in concert with quadra-fin active at anchor stabilizers.

I am particulary pleased with the refined and improved profile appearance.

Your comments and critiques along with any queastions are welcome.

Stan,

I rotated and shrunk your pic to fit into the forum frame for easier viewing. I'm going to check with Carl to see if there's a way to get the large version permanently hosted and viewable through a link instead of directly on the forum page so the rest of the page doesn't suffer from excessive side-scrolling.

Thanks, Kevin, for the assistance.
