The picture name was vixen, and that is what rang the bell.

What is it and what did it start its life as?

It looks like an elderly Riva.

Nice Picture

Here is a hard question
Everybody know the Yacht but did somebody know the age of this Captain ??

Alex,

I have reduced the size of the image above to 640 pixels wide, YF's standard format. In the future, please do not post images that are larger.

sorry, but you are on the right continent.

Looks like maybe she's wood/composite. Probably built in Turkey.

Built by a western Europe yard, and it is indeed wood. getting close.

If I should guess, it looks like it was born in the mid -70:s as an Admiral from CNL, especially the arch...

Found it!

Sticking with the Classics

Name, Builder, Designer, Year.

And I thought this one would be easy. Come on AMG, tell us.

Pulling the plug on this one.

This well known (apparently not) yacht is "Lion's Whelp" Designed by Eldredge-McInnis, built in 1966 by Goudy and Stevens.

NEXT!

Sorry, I lost my internet connection several times yesterday. More on your boat with it´s interesting legacy is here; http://www.portlandyacht.com/lionswhelp/1629/OtherWhelps.html

My next question is easy for the yachtspotters. On this unusual view over Monaco you see a big yacht to the far right, what is her name...?

White Rose of Drachs 65 meter Built 2004 Kusch Germany. On her home berth.

What's the one below?

It seems to be the 1998 Heesen "No Escape"...

Maybe you know what dark boat is hiding behind White Rose of Drachs in the above picture..?

Too hard, well I blow it up and make it a lot easier then....

Dang!
See what happens when I don't surf the net for a day or two!!
I knew it was Lion's Whelp as soon as I saw the pic, didn't even have to forage around for a clue like I usually have to!

Yes, you have to be present all the time here...

I´ll give another clue on the mystery boat. The shipyards head office is in one of the buildings close to the pier.

And a bit of trivia, the bouys you see outside is marking the no-boating zone for the Monaco Heliport. You can see the lights of one heli approching on my first picture.

Its Ewen McGregor Design I would say, featured in ‘The Island’ We love Wally oh and it is 'No Escape'
