Coal Harbour Marina, Vancouver BC

LOL, trying to hide? I do not think any vessel over 200 feet can hide! was at a commercial berth or something it looks like.

If it's ugly yachts you're after...

What about this one ?

Since i have known this yacht in the yachting world i have always wondered about her looks... not much there for me but i also wondered about her stability. How does she fair in the open?

Good question - I guess she could hold her own against most other cats.
But then driving her must be a bit like taking a dance hall to sea

Can the word "fugly" be safely used?

ASEAN LADY...wow...looks like someone doesn't like the beauty of decks with walkways! How do you place fenders off the outriggers?

Must limit docking choices when you can only tie up on the one side if your in a tight marina!

Outriggers? i thought she only had one which is the one on the Starboard side. Anyhow, let us not stray too far from the original topic...

Hi,

The Asean Lady is normally based in Singapore at the Raffles Marina as that's her home port. Obviously she only comes alongside on the main hull side. Besides, there aren't that many marina's in the entire SE Asia region that can accomodate her size. Raffles Marina and RSYC are probably the only 2 marinas that can handle her.

Most of the time when I see her in either Malaysia or Phuket, Thailand she's just anchored.

HKT Horizon, i would imagine that she would have to anchor in most destinations. Her design does not permit her to berth in most marinas around the world.

Anyhow, OutMyWindow, what is new? Any thing of note passing out your window?

Hey, thanks for posting that pic, that looks like the Norwegian Star. Norwegian Dawn's sister as well as the Norwegian Jewel, Norwegian Pearl and now Norwegain Gem underconstruction. The Pride Of Hawaii is the same make but she is from the Norwegian Cruise Line America brand. But is to come over to Nowegian cruise Line and become the Norwegian Jade. I wonder what would happen if yachts were to start getting hull art.

I have been into cruiseships seriously for nearly all my life and no i am not old. I only been into yachts seriously for about 4 years now. So i know cruiseships backward as we would say in Barbados. I would be interested to see a yacht with hull art but i am not sure that owners or potential owners would be willing to diverge that far from the norm.

LOL, i still find that a bit far fetched for now outmywindow. So what is it about your area that attracts the yachts? I know the Sunrise seems to be a pretty regular visitor there.
