Seen at Greenock today on a Dutch ship bound for Baltimore USA. The one in the foreground is a Y78. The second one appears to be larger. Good news for the balance of trade.

The obscured boat behind the Y75 is a Y85. Yes, that's £8m of exports right there!
 
Weird destination. Makes me wonder if Maryland allows a more favourable tax treatment...

I know there are a few big brokerages in Annapolis,MD and they have a very big boat show. I know Southerly (Now Discovery?) have sales offices there so I wouldn't be surprised if the big guys weren't represented there too.
 
Lovely, I hope they bring years of pleasure to their future owners. I used to live near the Jaguar factory in Coventry and always watched with pride, transporters full of Jags off to the USA.
