Anybody know the make/model of the boat in the first two pics?

 

[wakeup]

I think I know but waiting for Mapis or one of the other Italian guys to confirm.

I dont think it's an Itama 50 .... but I'm stumped.

 

[jfm]

It's an itama 75.

Dunno what 3rd pic is, but the (pink) house is villa fiorentina, generally regarded as the best house in the world. 4th is the art of kinetic

 

[Whopper]

The 3rd pic could be an Oceanfast. Looks quite similar to the Fortunate Sun.

Is the one with the domes on the bimini a Hatteras?

 

[jimmy_the_builder]

Not much good at spot the boat ... but spot the boatyard: is the first one Port de la Rague?

Cheers
Jimmy

 

[Erik C]

Maybe the last one is The Britannia?

Yes you get a point and as does JFM.

Very good WBS. 1997 when she was on one of her last visits around UK. I just happened to fly over her and my passenger snapped her.

Extra points if you can identify the aircraft.

Are you sure it is a 75? It didn't look that long from where we were.

Yes I am sure you are right re the kinetic, she really struggled in that head sea compares to the other boat which I think is an old Hunton.

Is villa fiorentina the one that all the fuss was about over its sale to a russian oligarch but when the sale fell through he wanted his €50m deposit back but lost his battle in court and the owner gave it away to charity?

No, that would be Vila Leopolda

 

[Erik C]

Piper P38 Tomahawk?

 

[jfm]

Yup, Lily Safra's place, widow of Edmund Safra. More visible from Villefranche than the st Jean side. The transaction that didn't go through exchanged contracts shortly before Lehman's weeknd in Sept 2008, iirc, and that's why the buyer couldn't complete

I reckon the itama is a 75 cos of the hard top but happy to be proved wrong; haven't time to check

 

[jfm]

Is the one with the domes on the bimini a Hatteras?

No, it's an old Feadship from the early 70's. One of the 39m series classics but I dunno which one

 

[wakeup]

Piper P38 Tomahawk?

Right again or Terrorhawk as we called them.

Well, you could have guessed even when you took that pic of the stern...
You wouldn't want props that big in anything smaller!
Jfm got the cigar, 75 she is.

 

[taz]

Could it be this one?

OK but she seemed about 50/60 foolish. If you count the fenders along the port wall and assume they are three of for feet in dimension and a foot apart I still don't get close to 75 ft, but happy to take your word for it
