    Looks like it got sprayed by a fireboat. Is that mast laying on its stbd. rail attached to a burned sailboat by any chance?

    Ice Storm - the sailboat too has been "compromised"

    Who buys a 100' yacht and expects privacy? Every where Ive been anything bigger than a raft must be registered in some way for public Identification.

    With most larger yacht the owners name will be burried under possibly several corporations and holding companies. Of course anything you want to know can be found out today, but YF's policy is out of courtesy to the boat owners and YF members (often one in the same).

    Literally and figuratively, Tiger Woods for one; reference his charge and litigation against Christensen. It‘s a security issue more than anything else.

    You do your best to mitigate your exposure, but at the same time you try not to impede the enjoyment of what quite likely is your single most expensive possession - far more costly than any one of your residences.

    However, today’s entertainment and business press, along with our own inquisitive minds make it difficult to maintain “sub rosa”. This forum offers a refreshing alternative to tabloid press, it’s not a question of who swings the biggest… anchor… its a knowledge bank that makes us all, just a litter better; while entertaining the heck out of us.

    By the way Edward, Westport (the company that built the yacht you pictured) built seven others! The latest was recently launched called "Wabi Sabi", she is the eighth in the Westport 164 series. The "Vango" is the first in the series. Welcome Edward.

    Port Canto, this evening...

    I caught a glimpse of her a couple weeks ago. Just by chance I am back in Cannes this evening and had to run straight to her to snap off a couple shots. No one on board, I hope to learn more tomorrow.

    In the meantime; Can anyone identify her ??

    The radar tower hints 120 (121') to me....? The 135 has a different tower setup...? Cheers

    No I am not saying that the yacht pictured is a 135 I am just saying that harder to scale a 120 now with the larger models that are on offer now.

    Y/N, all good champ, I'm just trying to narrow it down too, and the suggestion was more for the guys who might not be up on the PJ designs. Cheers

    It looks really close to the PJ120 pics on their website, but not exactly. Some things are off (portals don't match up) but that's easily explainable. On the other hand, the proportions of the windows and the proportions of the foredeck seem odd. Could be the particular photo I suppose... not sure.

    Kevin, the proportions have me beat as well, portholes are different, and everything forward from the windows make it seem smaller, maybe it's the 3/4 angle... possible it's a new model...?

    AffrayedKnot, sorry mate, you'll have bring out the old tape measure :D
