On a side note, SV, what's the other lighter blue barge?
She doesn't look too shabby, either.
 
They do look seriously bullet proof and ideal for 'expeditions' - more about them here at http://www.agyg.com/content16.asp?make=ms&

And they were designed by Eric Sponberg - more about him here at http://www.sponbergyachtdesign.com/PowerDesignSplash.htm

I first met him here in Barbados about 32 years ago, after he had sailed across from the Canaries in his wee Bianca 27 (a bit like a danish version of a Twister, but tubbier).
And then again in Newport, Rhode Island 17 years later, when I wandered in to his design office to say Hi - he asked where I was from, I replied 'Barbados', and the penny dropped - he remembered inviting me on board for a mug of tea... very nice chap, and he has some (many rather) amazing designs to his credit.
