    Since this yacht came up on another thread, it may be time to start one that deals with all Mysterious Yachts.
    Her name is "Katherine", but that's all I know about this yacht.

    Good thread idea!

    I just saw a small yacht here that I have not seen before. Could be Italian built, perhaps Dutch but Swedish I doubt...?

    All info about this yacht or just her origin is welcome!

    Katherine was designed by William Garden in about 1980 or maybe a little before, I seem to remember she was featured in one of the major magazines back then. Don't remember who built her.

    Thanks Garry, based on the Designer's name, I managed to find the following: (not confirmed)
    -built in 1990
    -Knight & Carver (builder)
    -89 feet

    Let's solve AMG's mystery...

    Yes please, I have found some similarities with a 45´Feadship from 1962. Same hull almost but this has a more straight angled superstructure and those stainless framed windows are more like italian boats.

    She seems to be original anyway, maybe the mast is new, but otherwise she just need some varnish and TLC to look pretty I think...:)

    This old beauty is a fixture (harbour queen) in my marina. All ID is faded and un-legible, any information on this Yacht would be appreciated.

    Feadship

    She's an 85 ft Feadship around 1971 called something like Stultis Navataris (or some Latin version of Ship Of Fools), and she's been for sale for a while at an asking proce of $1.2 M or so on Yachtworld. Nice picture -- got any more?

    Thanks

    Feadship

    May I ask how recent the photo is? Does she still look like this -- in pretty good exterior shape? I envision her with a flybridge as a shorter version of what is now the Queen of Diamonds (about 130 ft 1971 ish Feadship which is similar in style and spectacular).

    Regards,

    CNRules

    I took the photo this afternoon. She looks ship shape, a true classic.
    No doubt waiting for a true connoisseur in need of a long and lasting relationship.

    Here is a 2005 Sterling Atlantic 43. Built in Brazil. She is somewhat similar profile to post #2.

    Unknown boat

    Hi Guys,

    I've seen this boat on my Berlin trip last Friday. Does anyone know what this is?

    This looks like a brand new sport-fish yacht. I have seen the design before, but not sure if it's a Hatteras or a Queenship?
    Named "minute man" could have come up on Dockwise.
