Look what is parked in Amsterdam today

[EricJ]

Docking cameras I guess..





Not the most beautiful yacht IMHO, but impressive nonetheless. I read that she has twin MAN 6035hp engines. With these massive pipes on top, I assume such yachts have a dry exhaust
Anyone know how the engines are cooled?

Thanks

I suspect that the letter on the transom costs more than my boat !

The hull plating is very fair, isn't it ?

Cant say for sure, but there are hints here http://www.nordhavn.com/resources/tech/exhaust.php

Seems that with reduced need for sea water, the main heat exchanger goes underneath the boat.

Could a boat be any more ugly. Ugly Mc Ug Face. But then others might think differently

But you would not say no if it was offered to you

 

[Tradewinds]

I have to say (from the photos) that I quite like it.

Edit: What has happened to the new 'A' which is (IMO) hideous.

Last seen in a yard in Keil in June sheathed/hidden in plastic (Photo: Facebook/OCC/JohnFranklin)

PS: If JF objects I will delete the photo)

We saw this moored off St Tropez in July, for sale I think for $300 million!!

 

[Bigplumbs]

Looking at it again I think it is growing on me. Not got the 300 million sadly

It was in Portsmouth a couple of weeks ago (no, really...)

Thanks for the link. Interesting read. I wonder how they worked it out on this vessel since it is a pretty fast one (23 knots) and the drag of keel cooler could be an issue.

 

[Truro Ex Pat]

I am sure it was on the south coast of mallorca about 4 weeks ago!

There was an update about the Sailing Yacht A in Boat International a few weeks ago -

[Time Out]

She is in London this weekend.

 

[jfm]

Yep. Parked up beside hms Belfast today.

 

[Imperial One]

I saw it leave Amsterdam on Saturday last as it motored past the HISWA show. Most unusual looking for sure and apparently it has 3 swimming pools on board........as you do with all that ocean about you anyway!
Incidentally, it was also good to meet up with Eric at HISWA, always so nice when a forumite visits and says hello.

Very good to meet you, Mike! Thanks for showing me round the beautiful Van der Valk you had on display.

Lots more photos of 'A' here - looks like she is trying to disguise herself as 'SF99' :
