Devonport Yachts

Well I stumbled over much better pics of "Vava's II" stern plattform...

Vava II. | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Spectacular bathing platform! And spectacular yacht. Is amazing to see the engereeing that goes into any hull openings, the cost must be spectacular too.

She has an interesting engine configuration.

Also, now I know where are the two biggest tenders which were under construction at Vaudrey Miller when their website was turned off.

What does this mean for Devonport's large yacht building? I seem to remember reading that Pendennis builds decent 40m-60m boats...of course, what is/was the quality of Devonport prior to Pendennis' acquisition of Devonport? Since Pendennis now owns Devonport (at least the yard) could Pendennis be trusted to build a quality well engineered/high quality 80m-90m yacht?? Just curious...

Cheers,

I have not seen a review of her yet so it is the first time I am seeing her aft decks in detail and it is gorgeous... I thought I would share it with you though.

I'm pretty sure this is the one I saw under construction in Feb-Mar 2009 when I was in the UK on business. I was on a contract with Babcock Marine and the manager of the project indicated they had a commercial side doing yachts as well as Royal Navy work. He brought us into the facility and showed us the yacht. It was about the same size as the destroyer they had in the facility.

Hi everyone,

I noticed how much interested you all are in the Vava II, and as it happens that that yacht is back in Tarragona, I have taken today some different photos.

Maybe you're also interested in the Topaz, still bigger.

Hi,

Welcome to YF.

You might benefit by rereading this section of the rules you would have accepted when registering.

Rules Regarding Links & Images...


1. Links: PLEASE be careful about the links you post on YachtForums. While we encourage links that are relevant, educational, informative or just plain fun, remember that other sites can benefit by a link from YachtForums... especially other forums or magazines that are similar in nature. Signatures or posts not meeting this criteria will be deleted. If you alter the same after the fact, your membership will be removed as well.

2. Images: PLEASE be careful about the source of the images you post. If there is ANY question, DON'T post it! Duplicating, hyper-linking or posting images without the consent of the owner, may be a violation of copyright.

3. Hot-Linking Images: We don't allow it. Period.

The reason for this is multi fold but the most recent example of the end result is a well followed thread with a lot of text and no photos because the host vanished into the ether one day.

Luis, great pictures! Finally get to see the transom door opened. That gorgeous beach club wasn´t even featured in that magazine article on the boat. Muchisimas gracias. You will be able to make lots of great pictures, Tarragona is getting a very important base for megayachts, since Qatar bought the port Tarraco.
