Newbuild: S/S Suri

Nevak · 03-30-2008, 01:50 PM

I was stopped on the Ballard Bridge (a draw bridge in Seattle) and saw the SuRi looking rather conspicuous among the fishing vessels at Fishermen's terminal. It sounds like at least a few people are anxious to see her. She's beautiful!

edit: this is my first post to this forum and I botched the attached photo! uggh. I'll try it again. I apologize for the multiple posts.

Thank you for the kind words, Nevak.

And to Yachtluver, we are working on some photos to share with the YF members.

@ Nevak: Great shot of Y/E SuRi ! Thanx!

@ YES!: Can't wait to see the more of Y/E SuRi.

I thought a little larger version was in order. I really like her.

Nevak - great photo. I never had a chance to stop on the bridge to get that shot. Can you email the hi-res picture to me?

Thank you, Stan

Nice shot indeed. Just one question lingers...why is the chopper down there? I thought that it would be on the roof of the hanger?

YES! · 03-30-2008, 10:54 PM

The crew was loading and provisioning the SuRI for her transit down to Los Angeles and on to New Zealand. The helicopter is only up on the heli deck for flight operations when owner and guests are embarked.

For transits the helicopter is safely (and dryly) stored inside the hanger. It was on the main aft deck while all of the other toys (hover craft, dune buggy, StanCraft mahogany speedster, sail boats, jets skis, landing craft, etc., were loaded into the hangar and secured for sea ahead of the chopper.

That is the most important function of the hangar - protection of all the tenders, toys and helicopter while making sea passages.

Stan, I need some more info from you and emailed you a few days ago, but have not heard back. Go ahead and email me and we'll see if we can connect.

This big beautiful ship made it's way to the gas station. Caused a lot of buzz, unloading a tender and putting the chopper back together.

Rumors are flying
