I Cruised over to Lady Iris this morning, at Port de Plaisance and spoke with the Captain, YES it IS the Burger mentioned in the article linked above. She was finished in 1991 and "heavily" customized.
OK, Gotcha. That's probably why not a lot of people have heard of Lady Iris, she was left unfinished when the previous owners of Burger shut down the plant, eventually finished and "heavily" customized. I wonder if it would be posible to see a few more pics of her. Thanks Neil.
I WISH I WAS THERE RIGHT NOW, i'm getting gale force winds here in Long Beach, already had 1 35' sailboat blown onto the rocks, they called vessel assist reporting engine problems, VA told them, you got sails, use them, in 40+ knots of wind, ur weekend warrior sailor noramally cannot handle winds this strong, they ended up on the rocks with VA pulling them off, they better get a free tow bill for that one.
More of Lady Iris More of Lady Iris, on the dock at Port de Plaisance South Marina, Simpson Bay Lagoon, Sint Maarten, Netherlands Antilles
Heard the bridge was open for an hour today letting everyone back from St.Barts,, traffic was backed up all the way to Mullet beach.. lets see some more pics!!!
i just started a similar thread for Yachts that come through Long Beach, starting with 2 who call Alamitos Bay home, i'll get more as they come through, too bad its not as active here as say, there.
Attessa Neil, if any crew from this fine yacht stumble through your establishment, and their tongues get a waggling on grog, it would be nice to know if she’s ever coming back to her home port of Vancouver or have we lost her forever to the Med/Carib shuffle?
Attessa was at anchor outside of Long Beach for quite a while last year, beautiful yacht, i hope to see her again sometime, possibly on her way back to Vancouver. if she come's through i will definately get some photos of her next time.
Where are you? Hey Neil: what's going on? Your camera broke? Prime time right now and no new photos,,,,,,,, How about some shots from the "parade" on NYs day when everyone was coming back from St.Barts???

Ya Norbert at SSBB was having the same thing from what I understand. Not sure if it related to your problems as well. Any more sightings of Maltese Falcon or has she moved on?
More Yachts in SXM Here are a few shots at the end of the year. Fighting Irish a 145 Westship Harmony a 115' Crescent JeMaSa a 174' Hakvoort and another of Limitless
nice pic of Harmony, I ran the boat for a year and half, and must say it was one of my favorites. Keep up the good work, it is great to see all the boats in a place where I spent many winters, but lately have not been back down for many years. I was among some of the first big boats to start basing out of SXM when I worked on Halcyon, some might remember the great dockside cookouts that we started at Port de Plaisance. Hope to be back down there soon, but for now we live vicarously thru your pics.
So,,, what was your job on Harmony??? Did you ever deal with my cousin Rick that lives in SXM? He's local wrench that does a lot of work on tenders and what ever else.
Harmony was built as "Dare to Dream" for an ex Broward owner, that's why it has the drop down in the sheerline.(very common on old Browards) It makes it easy to spot as it's the only Crescent that was built with that sheer.
Here are a few in SXM last week. Arcadia 117' Royal Huisman in Simpson Bay Le Grand Bleu 370' Bremer Vulkan in Simpson Bay Leander G 245 Pennewerft in Simpson Bay and Marathon a 157' Christensen leaving Simpson Bay Lagoon
