    Hello all,

    We have beautiful views of the River Dart and the Britannia Royal Naval College. Recently a beautiful yacht called Paraffin was here coinciding with the Passing Out Parade. Does anyone have any information on who owns her and where she's from ?

    Hi Dartwood,

    Welcome aboard! We generally don't discuss owners, but in the case of Paraffin, it is fairly well publicized. Paraffin is a 197' Feadship, built in 2001 for the founder of the Yankee Candle Company. Previous to this build, he owned a 142' Palmer Johnson under the same name.

    On Paraffin...

    Builder: Feadship/Royal Van Lent Shipyard, Holland
    Designer: De Voogt Naval Architects
    Material: H: Steel
    Power: Twin 2,000-hp Caterpillars

    Here's the company website...
