The fact that they are building this Kusch project is not a secret, only the yacht itself. We just have to wait and see, same as the owner! :)
Alright, it says Class ID, which is just OK for very light ice conditions. The same as if you have no ice class really... The most common Ice...
Ice Class means nothing in itself. There are at least nine different classification organizations and they use 3-5 classes, where the lightest is...
Here is one picture from when she hit land...
Scary isn´t it? We are burning oil, causing global warming and the force of nature hits back, sweeping away our oil rigs!? :confused:
Not bad Kelly! :D :D Easier to maintain and as the world looks today, who knows how future yachts will look!?
A classic problem... If you have seen Savarona, you will experience the same effect. A yacht like Haida G is much easier to appreciate....
Since B+V are still marketing the M-147 project, we can assume it is not at all sold or started. The only yachts they have confirmed as sold are...
It is said that about 20 rigs are missing, either sunken or adrift. But this is of course overshadowed by reports that it could be over a thousand...
We´ll take care of the site if you are out helping those who need it more, but take care! On Trinity and more;...
Nice to hear that you like my designs! My website is a one-page and maybe I´ll add more at some stage, but today I still feel that my best designs...
Whoever it is that has ordered this Gigayacht must have a giga-tender as well, since there are almost no ports with access for 170 meter yachts....
Agreed, and not... Of course you can make strange shapes, but this will hardly justify the size, or the other way around. Look at this Explorer...
Yes, maybe it was justified then. But I compare with the hype on stepped hulls today, that our family had on a boat from the 50's and which was so...
Thanks for posting Brian, As always I am surprised that people are seeking for patents and pattern protections since this is almost impossible...
Size matters... No doubt the size is a design problem. You don´t like to have her looking like a cruise ship, but to just zoom up a modern yacht...
I remember to have seen something like this 560-footer before and digged into one of my notebooks from the early sixties, there it was! ;) (The...
Hi, A steel hull is never wrong. Some steel sailboats has a more squared shape that might look cheaper and may reduce the speed a little, but...
Hi, this depends on the size of boat and class you want it registred in. Some you can certify yourself as a producer, but bigger has to get more...
I agree as well. Yachts bigger than Limitless are ships. We call them Gigayachts today, but Lady Moura, Mipos, Pelorus, Octopus, Rising Sun and...
