Abeking & Rasmussen Yachts

Why do not you ask your people at A&R if you are as close with them as you claim to be.

The ever vigilant DiFooll caught some nice video of her on sea trials with a glimpse of Cloudbreak near the end!

DiFooll catches Cloudbreak and the 25 Meter Swath Yacht drag racing on their way out to sea trials!



My money is on Cloudbreak!!

Yes!!! According to tracks on marrinetraffic Cloudbreak hit a high speed of an even 20kn while Explorer pulled down a very respectable 14.5kn!!!

The 25 Meter SWATH yacht is capable of doing about 18 kts. But at that speed she will make it barely around the courner (no range ). Cloudbreak is growing on me. But her spec cruise speed is only 14 to 15 Kts too.

"Elandess" was sold quickly after roughly 3 months on the market!

Kibo on a roll cuts a beautiful swath through the ripples on the Weser höhe Brake Unterweser nach Gibraltar!

The final name for the 25 meter SWATH will be AL MAKHER. Data: 25 meter length x 13 meter width x 2,8 meter draft. Flag: Oman, IMO 9765342, Callsign A4JJ, NMSI 461009000. The "boat" will be a tender/shadow of the Royal yacht Squadron of Oman.

Actually these 25m-SWATH-boats boats are quite a multi-purpose-design. The Latvian Navy for example uses some of them as multi-purpose coast guard patrol boats. But I´d guess their interiour is a little more on the simple side...

Amaryllis is now asking 99 million euros.

Oh Sorry, I somehow though she was asking more before.

A good leaving party ends with fireworks for Cloudbreak. An old friend is skipper.

Cloudbreak is now cruising Iceland, the Faroes Islands and Greenland.

Is that a Bell 429 she is carrying?

Yep. Looks like having a guest corridor through the ER is becoming a trend.
