    Saw it! Great show. Wasn't disappointed at all. My friend chartered Leander for the Monaco Grand Prix a couple of years ago. **** I wish I knew him then. He's all settled down and having a family now!

    I saw the show too, but I was dissappointed... there was no mention of YachtForums.;)

    Sooo... who's the woman that owns the 4 masted sailing yacht?

    Thanks for the heads up on this show!!

    Not sure who she is but I did see Phocea in SXM last December it was way out in the harbour, we thought it was some sort of cruise ship, it's that big!

    Phocea

    Phocea was built at DCAN Toulon in 1976 as a single-handed racer, named Club Mediterranée with a LOA of 75,12 m !! Later in 1986 she was converted to a yacht and she was owned by the Frenchman Bernard Tapie
    In 1999 she was bought by Mrs Mouna Ayoub and the yacht underwent a spectacular and very extensive refit at Lürssen to a marvellous design by Tim Heywood and Jörg Beiderbeck.

    Mrs Ayoub is the former wife of the owner of the giant Lady Moura.

    Hi, Rene.
    This Galileo feature would be nice to watch.
    But not sure if ProSieben has Live Streaming Video on Internet.
    Tried to look for it on ProSieben website.
    Didn't find any Live TV segment ... maybe it is because my German is poor.

    Yes, it was "Catwalk". The cost of the transport was 250.000 €. They had some problems to tow the trailer from the transport ship to the street. They needed 2 trucks, 1 Unimog and 1 saving vehicle. It was interesting.
