Here ya go...

The Destriero is alongside in the UK at the Naval Base in Plymouth.

Shes been there a while, i've asked loads of people why shes here and who owns her but nobody really knows.

Its a great shame to see a boat like that just sat in the water.

Photo is attached

Thanks for the picture! The smaller yacht outside Destriero looks like the 28 m Kalamoun from 1973 which was then the fastest diesel powered yacht with 46 knots. One of my favorites from Abeking & Rasmussen...

It is just that the forward roof is a little longer than it was, so either it is another yacht, or she is extended?

Hi,
i'm also a fan of the Destriero and since a long time i search pictures and information about it. It seems that she lays still at Devonport in Plymouth:

Here is a picture of Google Earth

Now that is just wrong...

I might be mistaken, but is the boat pictured next to her "Fortuna" the x royal royal yacht of the king of Spain.

Such a sad sight to see Yachts in such disrepair.

Nope, not Fortuna. Looks more like Shergar, but not exactly and she should have been refitted at Lürssen recently.

I agree, sad to see both of them just sitting there.... The little one could be fun to have, but Destriero would be a costly toy!

I wonder what her berthing charges are? Someone is paying a lot of money for her to just ly there and rust.

Hi,

AMG once again scores with this which is the correct Answer.

So she was extended in both ends then, amazing job. It looks a little like Gilgenast may have been involved with this...?

the smaller yacht is the shergar

Hi,

Welcome to Yachtforums Marc.

Where did you get that info from?

11 days ago it was Kalamoun.

I do believe that Marc is correct but it is many years since I have seen Shergar in the flesh so I could be wrong

Hi,

I saw Shergar a few months ago at Lurssens.

I got the info about what it was from a guy who was in DML on the day I posted the info.

I took his info as being pretty reliable which is why I posted it.

I do stand to be corrected however if this info proves to be wrong.

Hi,

I found this:

It confirms what I was told and wrote earlier that it is Kalamoun outside Destriero at Devonport.

There you go. It has been about 12 years since I last laid eyes on her myself, which by the way was in South Beach Marina in Miami

well it was the shergar up until 2004 which was the last time i walked past it
