Eos at Caneel Bay, USVI

Hi, I'm new to this forum, but thought I'd mention that I photographed Eos in Caneel Bay, St. John, USVI a few days ago. There were three people swimming near the boat. Two small boats were 'standing guard'. Two men in one of the boats came to their feet as my family bounced by in our dinghy -- maybe a little too close? What a gorgeous sight -- Eos, not the men in the boat. Seriously though...a stunning beauty!

I think your right!

I think you are right. Judging from exterior deck images they have, it appears to be classical and it does say Lurrsen. I agree. Nice find!

Hi,

I sent the link to the Skipper of it to see what he says it is.

Eos has been in Auckland in the last few days. She passed us when I was out fishing together with a few mates the other evening. Impressive sight of a multi deck 300' sailing yacht. She then set sail West of Rakino Island for a wee blast on an aft-of-beam reach heading towards Great Barrier Island only to return heading down the inner Coromandel coast under power a couple of hours later. Tried to guage her speed under full sail and estimated it to be at least 12 knots in some 20 plus knots of wind. Unlike the new Kokomo being trialed she is no speedster and probably cannot point that high but she was as steady as a rock with limited heal! Wouldn't spill the drinks of course so one of her critical design specs has been met no doubt.

Can't see why not - you just don't put the glass/bottle down!

Hi,

I think you will find the boat is physically at ICON in Harlingen not Huismans although the work is being carried out by Huisman craftsmen and women.

I am reliably informed that the work is going very well and my contact tells me he is very pleased with the Huisman efforts to get the boat into better shape than when she was originally delivered.

EOS was also at Icon Yachts in the Netherlands for some refit works. Now in Oslo, she catches fire

I hope there are no persons injured.

Hi,

There was a thread about it yesterday: http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/g...-eos-305-sailboat-fire-norway.html#post153802

Ooops...sorry! The search function shows this thread about EOS.

Thanks for the link.

EOS in Venice, August 31st for the 73rd edition of The Mostra del Cinema (Film Festival)

Nice photos. She looks good and being on the bowsprit looks quite fun!

There's a photo of EOS interior in a recent article of Vanity Fair ("The Secrets of François Catroux").

Nice find!! I just looked it up and saw the photo of her interior and I'm impressed. Not bad at all.
