    Anything new on a Kismet? The last press report said she would be delivered at the end of September.

    Jacksonville vs. Dallas, November 9 in London, could be a good time to be ready?

    Haha did you check her AIS signal or was it just a guess?:) Seriously she left the Lürssen shipyard in Rendsburg this morning and is now on her way to London. So she was delivered. As I posted before I came across the information that something is being placed on "Kismet's" bow sprit. However this could possibly turn out to be wrong..sorry!

    Looks like she has just arrived in London.

    Typical British weather at its best! "Kismet" is absolutely gorgeous. Looking forward to more photos of her exterior and interior. Renderings suggest IMO a better interior compared to her predecessor.

    I saw a picture today with a Jaguar on the bow sprite, I guess that answers the question.

    So she got that while in London then because she arrived there with just the bowsprit.

    They won't be the first to get a pussy on their bowsprit in London I would say nor the last.

    To be more accurate, it is a jaguar with one of its paws resting on a football helmet.

    The Jaguar looks good close up I would have to see the yacht with a neutral uncluttered background to see how it makes the yacht look overall. Seems bow ornaments are really in style on large superyachts, "Phoenix2", "Lady M" now "Kismet".

    Looks like the rumor was correct after all, thank you for the link. I think the Jaguar is a really cool feature and piece of art.
    Interesting that they did not placed it on the bow sprit when she was still at the Lürssen shipyard. Would have been easier would it not?

    I would think it would look very strange if not knowing that he owns the Jacksonville Jaguars. Of course they are a perpetual last place team. I also think he's a show off and publicity hound.

    It's his boat, he can put whatever he wants to put on it.

    It looks weird. I know he owns the team but I just really don't like that it's perched on a football helmet. At least Phoenix2's matches it's name and looks more in place.

    I have a question. We all saw when the jaguar was installed on the bowsprit in London. When she arrived in Gibraltar to refuel for her Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean, there was no Jag on the bow. So did they remove it for the Crossing?

    More than likely..."Kismet" also arrived in London without the jaguar installed on her bow sprit.

    She arrived in London without it but it was installed there. So I am surprised not to see it on the bow sprit when she was in Gibraltar.
