Yacht Conversions

Disco,

You should have entered the catamaran in the Rogues thread.

The Alfamarine disco is truly a monument to bad taste IMHO.

The Grey Mist has again been purchased and is having the Fiberglass removed and the hull replated.

The fiberglass has been removed and exposed massive damage to the hull. Over 1,000 sqft of plating has been replaced, hundreds of feet of stretchers and support were fabricated.

Moral: NEVER cover a steal hull with fiberglass ... It only excellerates the corrosion.

So much respect to any owner that builds (and then really uses) a yacht like that!

That. Looks. Cool!

I was the Engineer on her sistership, Lone Ranger, for an Atlantic crossing years ago. She was a tug to yacht conversion too. At the time she was called Simpson S.

She just hit the brokerage market for $69.5M with Burgess.

Those that are, and those that are guilty of lying about it.

I would be curious to know if Ragnar would be exceptionally uncomfortable in a powerful head sea. All the accommodations and the pilothouse are perched right over the bow, which is usually the worst place to be when weather is bad. Yes Ragnar is a big, powerful ship but I've been on a cruise ship that was pitching like a bucking bronco in bad weather so I assume the bow on Ragnar would be leaping up and down in a serious blow.

Different design. She looks more like a North Sea tug with all that weight forward, meant to go straight in.

love the look of Artic P expect all them satellite domes up the mast.
Not only the looks, but also the windage, it sure doesn’t help maneuvering and air flow while cruising, or the lack off.

Reminds me of those Russian "fishing trawlers" operating near, or on top of, our sub exercises.

Is it just me, or does Ragner sit a little nose-low?
