Abeking & Rasmussen Yachts

I remember seeing those photos a while ago and thought that wasn't the right yacht but didn't know about Secret at that time.

Hopefully this time he will work a bit harder on the deckplan.

Looks like Amaryllis is for sale. I haven't seen a price yet though.

Used 2011 for sale in France

The interiors of Amaryllis remaind me of the Gaddafi houses and plane in Lybia.

On to the next one!

I believe she is for sale for €130 million. Still seems to be overpriced but nothing in the Nirvana overpriced range.

6493

Today a website published pictures from Lemwerder, of the project 6493, getting ready for launching.Vessel name: My Secret

Looks like the twin of the Oceanco 2008 "Anastasia"

Yep, as soon as I saw it, "Anastasia" jumped to my mind, she mirrors her so much. I mean you can't imagine she has anything to do with her although, Nirvana, her successor is for sale. But it is no doubt for the owners of the ex. "Secret" Feadship.

Finally! Of course she shares some resembles with "Anastasia" as they have the same designer... but I do not really think you can call them twins, "Secret" is beautiful(!)... much better IMHO. It will be interesting to see which paint sheme she carries!
Btw, she already hit the water.

Ues she is in the water but you won't tell her full colour scheme as much of her surface is still covered in protective film.

Apparently there is a new 81-meter hull in Germany to be finished at A&R. It's bare bones with a two-level aluminum superstructure on top the hull at the moment.

A German local newspaper reported about that (I'm sure you mean that):

Was that hull built in a different country? (Such a large transport ship was recently used to bring the F45 Feadship "Blue Sky" to China)

I love a boat with the American Flag!

What's going on with Secret? She's a really good looking yacht and would like to see more photos of her.

I don't know, what's happened to the cargo ship. According to the newspaper: The hull was built in Bremerhaven (40/50 Kilometers up the Weser river from Lemwerder). Maybe a tug would stretch it to pull the hull down to Lemwerder.

Sometimes they use heavy cargo ships just in order to lower the hull into the water. It is much cheaper to hire a heavy cargo ship (which is available in the local area) for that purpose than ordering a large floating crane from Rotterdam for this short business. In those difficult times we do almost any job to make money.

1. She was on sea trials yesterday and is already back at the yard.
2. Ken, great photos from her trials on marinetraffic. I agree she is absolutly beautiful yacht(!), by far the best looking from A&R IMHO.
Also a nice video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUu2NwBe7AQ
I really hope we will see some features of her or she even ends up on the charter market like her predecessor! Can not wait to see more of "Secret".

Very nice video (and yacht)! Looks much better than Anastasia!
