    La Pellegrina has made her big launch splash and is making a bigger splash on Youtube with several videos already posted.

    It was a real nail biter around the 7 minute mark! I hope the owner was not there to see it all, except of course for the happy ending where she blows her horn and takes off under her own power to the cheers of the crowd and fleet!

    This one has some nice shots of her hull and props.

    Vimeo has a video of her construction which gives a nice feeling for how her interior is going to look.

    Yes I saw what you meant. There was a real scuffle to get the fenders between the concrete blocks on the dock as she slid back.

    This yacht totally kicks it Couach 5000 Fly La Pellegrina - YouTube

    Why more yacht vendors don't make videos like this I will never know.

    Oh, maybe it is because their yacths can't do what La Pellegrina can do!!!

    Is Money Really No Object?

    We will see if her price of €29,000,000, approx $37,545,000, will be a show stopper or not.

    With the award winning Satori being only $2.5M more??????????

    You know, after watching the video and see the successful attempts to keep from scraping the side of the yacht, why did they not just pull the yacht about 5' away from the wall?? Why back the boat out just inches from the wall, thus nearly causing damage to the boat?? Just curious...

    La Pellegrina is a beautiful yacht...sure look forward to seeing more of her...

    Cheers,

    Picking up this thread a little late...but just registered to the forum.
    I think the "why...?" is relatively easy to answer: the Bassin d'Arcachon is a tidal bay, and the Couach Yard (basin??) is just a little cove, which , if I remember correctly is very shallow on the opposite side.
    This was used in earlier years by some of the Oyster farmers of the region.

    In addition, I seem to remember the vessel was first eased into the basin at low tide on a trolley, which was still immerged underneath her when the yacht departed, thus making it hard to pull the vessel far away from the concrete dock.

    Incidentally I also had an opportunity to look at her when moored at the Old Bordeaux dock (as seen in the video mentionned above) and I must say she is an impressively elegant Lady! (yes, I know,:eek: I should have taken a lot of pictures...my apologies)

    AFAIK, she is currently at the Couach Med Yard in La Seine sur Mer, near Toulon.

    Cheers

    Thank you very much.
    I will not be a major contributor, due to my own limited experience...but will do my best, just because I love boats! :D

    A boat like La Pellegrina that is fully built in Kevlar ® Carbon ® by infusion process and developed on a military patrol hull design with a top speed of 28 knots and transatlantic range sounds very strong and capable but how does this new type of construction compare to what a good old fashioned steel displacement hull can do in heavy seas?

    I noticed on marinetraffic that La Pellegrina was docked at the Harbor Town Marina on the Dania Cutoff Canal just South of Fort Lauderdale so I drove down to the marina to take some shots of her this morning.

    Since she has been on the market her price has come down to a mere $26,797,600.

    She has an awesome davit on her bow!

    Here are some close up detail shots of her port stern quadrant.

    Notice the pattern in the sheer window coverings on the last windows on the top row which add character and interest to the already spectacular master bedroom.

    Here is a quick 4K vid of La Pellegrina taken when the stills were shot.
