    Graham,
    Thanks for the shots and thanks for taking the time to post.
    I like the all-wood tender. But the helo on Starship looks a bit precarious, not a lot of room for error.
    We should start a FLIBS thread soon to allow all to check in.

    Great photos. Dark hulls certainly seem to be the vogue in Europe?

    Great shots.. Looking forward to FLIBS!

    Agree with Capt Tom, that all wood tender is slick. Any ideas on the builder?

    Hi Here is a photo of the wood tender builder. It is a spanish company. To be totally honest the boat looks good in a photo. The finishing was bad, it looks like they used cheap wood. I am sure it will look good if the wood was of better quality and the finishing was done better.

    No plans yet, but as Tom suggested, we'll get a thread started for FLIBS '07. Look forward to meeting you Graham and again, thank you for the excellent coverage of Monaco!

    Thanks Graham. Here is their website:
    http://caprichospagoa.com/home_in.htm

    I notice the sign says prototype and the website does not really have any photos yet. Perhaps they were in a rush to get her to the show?

    Very nice pics, GrahamF. You took us all to the Monaco Show, thanks very much, indeed.
    Hope to see you and the rest of this crowd in FLL.
    BTW, in the earlier photos, is that a swimming pool in the greenish-looking transom area of that yacht?

    Hi Loren

    It is a swimming pool with a water feature. The water flows over the ridge and gets pumped back into the pool.

    The only boats i got onto were the boats i know because i did work on them or my friend is the Captain. I will have to ask Carl if i can become the European correspondent for YF. Then if i am an official correspondent then i will be able to get onto most of the yachts and take some interior pictures.
    I am hoping to get a DSLR when i am at the FLIBS so that i can take better pictures.
