    Yacht Mojo docked at Marina Real Valencia (May 2017).



    Build by Harland & Wolf shipyard in Belfast and launched as HMS Packington served as minesweeper in the Royal Navy (1958).

    The South African Navy buy it in 1959 and rename as SAS Walvisbaai, after 40 year was sold to Walt Disney film company to make “The life aquatic” film with Stev Zissou as R/V Belafonte.

    In 2006 and after 6 years of restoration the actual owner installed two new Catterpillar V12 engines, adding a swim platform and many modifications to try to retain the history of this ship and at the same time provide you with all the comforts of a modern superyacht, the result can be seen in the video.

    Nice, wooden hull and Manila Rope for dock lines.
    Hopefully the maintenance won't put the owner in the poor house.
    Gutsy project.
