| Lürssen | 180.00M | "AZZAM" ex Project 'Azzam' |2013 |

I guess there will be no wake boarding from the crew behind Azzam........

In other words, MY Azzam is really a fast food fish eatery kitchen.

Speaking of eating, someone could use a XXXL T-Shirt for those impromptu photo opt moments - have to allow for the extra clothing being covered with the bonus of a bigger billboard effect.

That water temperature effect looks pretty bad from a marine life point of view. Not that the owner needs more trouble with environmental groups in the Seychelles.

Sorry for pulling your legs again. The last paragraph was meant as a joke. The temperature rise behind a WJ is negligible. The term "leaving cooking water behind" is a joke used by Navy guys over here, it just means full blow ahead .

I thought her name was hidden under this provisional canvas (like on Topaz, last picture), as to be seen on one of my first pictures. On my latest pictures, the canvas is either tightend or the letters are removed.

B.t.w. Old Phart, the man wearing the YF t-shirt in that picture is not the man this T-shirt was ment for. My son in law and his father pulled my leg on that one. Its my T-shirt, but not me in it. This T-shirt was profaned by a non member. It will be washed, disinfected and perfectly ironed before covering the astral body of a real senior member, promised .

Maybe the letters of her name were fitted and installed and then removed for the seatrails until her formal christening, if this this the correct term for a middle east ship?

Not the Largest but LONGEST.

"Al Said" and "Eclipse" are much bigger (in terms of Displacement)

Her architecture proportions are too stretched.
It's evident that Designer's main aim was to build the world longest yacht at any cost. And the cost turned to be rather high - with her very narrow hull and very little draught stability problem in open sea could be rather deadly.
If stabilizers, by chance, are out of action, overkeel turn is inevitable.

Her main aims seem to be length (the longest), and the other would/is speed... and the only way to achieve the speed is to have a small wetted surface area, and a low beam to length ratio was always going to be on the cards.
A boat no matter which type or size will have its pros and cons. Azzam will be fast but at the cost of comfort. Cheers

Lürssen published three new pictures of Azzam on the FB-Page.

This one is good: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...41842.281955985255753&type=1&relevant_count=3

The helicopter looks very small in comparison with Azzam.
