Nice pictures!
The first unknown is a Ferretti, entering Colom
Second one is sunseeker yacht73
The one you called a powercat is a Robertson & Caine, built in Seth Efrica
The squadron is a 70, not a 78, by the way. They built very few 70s and stopped around 2009

Great pics. I do like the Pearl, cracking boat.

Thanks for solving the mysteries JFM.

Thank you.

It would have been a great place for some drone footage but I only had my relatively new point and squirt with me

Mind you you at an effective 600mm on most hand held I am quite please with it.

Enjoying the sunshine I think Pete but it could be a local custom........ No doubt if your plans come to fruition you will be able to tell us :encouragement:

A bit of a fresco one is one thing but not so keen on having my mate watching! Great pics by the way.

The first unknown is a Ferretti

Yup, a 225. A quite impressive machine also by modern standards, and still very elegant after 20 years!
And the Riva is a 60 Bahamas, btw.
Another beautiful vessel, IIRC the first of several Rivas drawn by Mauro Micheli (Officina Italiana Design).

Nice piccies indeed, thanks for sharing them with us! :encouragement:

Never seen a 225 - didn't know they extended into the 200s at that age.

I do like how Ferretti kept their boats with a low profile. Of course I'm biased...

 

[MapisM]

Indeed, Zuccon managed in the 90s to draw for Ferretti a range of boats which not only had a very nice and distinctive "family feeling", but are also very sleek and elegant in absolute terms.
At first glance, you might struggle a bit to distinguish a 165 from a 175, 185 and even 225.
Unfortunately, in my favorite one within this lot (which afaik is also the very first Ferretti designed by Zuccon, i.e. the 175), they pushed the envelope a bit too much, and the e/r height is so sacrificed that the risers of the big V12 MTUs are too low and hence exposed to water reversion, if for instance the boat rolls a bit too much at anchor.
If it weren't for that reason (which btw I discovered incidentally, phew!) I might have already joined the Ferretti forum gang...
