| Royal Denship| 78.6M | "Pegasus VIII"/"Princess Mariana"| 2003/2020 |

Just for clarification here are a few of my personal photos. Here is Fincantieri "Serene" and Westport 164 "Harmony".

* you see the mast on the Westport with the white nav lights

* On Serene you see it deployed on arrival during the morning

* and retracted at night while at berth.

In essense, just because you may not see a forward mast on a large yacht you shouldn't conclude she doesn't have one, it may just be retracted as that is how most of them are being built these days, on telescopic 'poles'.

"Harmony" doesn't have one I suppose because she is a shade under 50-meter.

Another example, the Amels 171/77/80 and 212, forward mast is actually a crane on the bow with the nav lights incorporated, when steaming at night or in other conditions they may raise this crane vertically to display the steaming light.

On "Pegasus V" (ex. "Princess Mariana") she has a fixed forward mast so it will naturally be there all the time.

"Serene" is 134-meters around 442-feet long. The last two photos are of Serene, The first is of "Harmony", the mast with the white nav lights are atop the hardtop on the pole. it is the white pole to the left in the photo.

I heard she has been sold, no further details though.

"Pegasus V" wonder what her new name will be... That owner didn't have her for that long at all.

After a couple years being under refit, the old "Princess Mariana" is now called "Lightning" and sports a light grey hull and white superstructure. She was under refit at Amels. Photo Wim Kosteen

"LIGHTNING" has been under seatrials recently. In fact she just completed her second day of trials the other day.

Apparently she is still called "Pegasus VIII"? I thought that she was renamed after the refit. Well here you can clearly see she departed Gibraltar as Pegasus VIII.
