    Abu Dhabi F1 was AMAZING!!! Yas Island is THE new F1 hotspot!

    Amongst the guests were Ecstasea, Silver, Dubawi, Delma, Moonlight, Sunrise and many more!

    The circuit is amazing and the structures extremely impressive!

    Coliseum could you tell me what is the name of the yacht that was once "SilVer", in your 3rd picture? I know SilVer was up for sale but I did not hear about what her new name was.

    Edit: I just saw what you said in the initial post, you said SilVer however, the nameplate I see on the portside of her does not look anything like the word SilVer

    Thanks for posting these pictures. I watched the race on US TV, which really didn't show enough of the marina or the yachts.

    Radban or Rabdan had a beautiful treadmill on the second deck facing the rear of the boat... i tried to take a pic but it didnt come out nice.

    Dilbar looked VERY impressive.

    I was on an Azimut 68, couldn't see much of the track from the flybridge, the funniest site was that on a Riviera... the guys were all bunched up on the Tuna Tower watching the race...

    The biggest show of brand was Azimut... I think they had over 20 yachts maybe more...

    I'm still waiting to see if anyone is gonna post a picture of Perolus. I'm pretty sure I've seen it in some of the race cameras. I'm downloading the race now to look for it, pictures to come...

    Sorry guys, my mistake, I don't know which yacht was it but the round shapes do remind me of Perolus.

    Anyone knows which one is it?

    Definitely "Dilbar". Even though she has some design cues from "Pelorus" you really can't mix her up.

    Well, I don't know about that, they do look pretty d*mn similar... :D

    The thing that confused me was the side bulb on the hull and the profiles... But Pelorus is more refined...
