Pictures of Topaz

as requested here the link to my pictures of project Topaz - Link removed due to several popup ads - will upload more pictures in the next hour...

Hi,

Why post pics here that require others to register to another website to view them?

uhm, oh sorry, I forgot the friendlyness here - I made a notice to remember me on that point - Should I cancel my account here?

Hi,

If you are unable to comply with the most basic of rules then maybe this is the option for you.

Have heard that bigger than Topaz-the biggest one- is in the Pipeline.. Great lurssen!!

Hi,

I have also heard this including the keel laying of it last Friday, the rumored relationship to another Lurssen project persists along with it's unusual description.

Hi Leveller, when i click on your link, my desktop repeatedly gets several popup ads that I have to remove, so it isn´t the best place to show your pictures. But you are always welcome to post pictures in a thread like this or create a new thread for a certain yacht.

It may be not the best place, but its my place because for me personally I decided so. I don't like the other places - flickr requires membership too specially for downloading btw. - so when you don't like WS it's your point not mine. I got a member at WS 2005 and I have more than 23.000 pictures online there. One point is security for my pictures and I don't have the feeling that they are save when I would post them here.

I did that in the past or others have done that for me in my behalf but some of the pictures poped up somewhere else - not only was the origin YF - but this was something I really don't like specially when no one thinks about copyright. I know that this is a big issue here, so I thought you will understand my point.

What really gets me is that as Yachts News asked for pictures I took some and was taking some of my limited time from my work to make the pictures ready to upload to give all YF members a look on Topaz - in a hurry. So after K1W1s answer what do you think I am feeling now? Know what? In future you can look on WS or wait till someone else of you gets to Bremen. I am finished with this.

OK Leveller, as you know we are always very careful with pictures we don´t know where they come from, but it is not possible to prevent others to copy pictures from here. Same as from Webshots or any place where you show your pictures.

Wow! Some one's a little testy this morning. My wife gets like that about the same time every month

Can we discuss this in another thread? Perhaps we can find a solution for the future to protect Lavellers pictures and he can share them on YF without barriers.

Maybe we should start a new Thread for Project Topaz ,too?

Hi,

If someone wants to post pictures here or anywhere else online for that mater a watermark is a good way to stop the casual user downloading or re producing them without giving you the credit.

In answer to the question seeking the length of this rumoured new build - it is going to set a new record for length of a yacht for sure and by more than a couple of metres.

I've heard that she is maybe 180meter long , we will see..

I know that I shouldn't don't post much about brokerage ,
but this is special.
Pelorus has been sold by Merle&Wood for an unknown price.

Hi,

The brokerage is actually known as Merle Wood and Associates, the founder is Merle Wood.

I have heard a whisper that the price is about 30% higher than Octopus when the contract to build her was signed.

Man 30%...

Is Projekt Topaz in the swimming dock ,which was hit by an other ship?
