Yacht Trivia Pursuit...

Well done René, go ahead!

Which currently launched sail yacht made her maiden voyage to norway?

1. Name me the name of the yacht.

2. name the name of the yard

3. name the name of the exterior designer

Please answer only, if you know all three questions.

There are probably quite a few, but you may think of Metolius by German Frers or Foftein by Henry Scheel, both built at Royal Huisman and I think that both had their maiden voyage to Spitsbergen in Norway.

No, "Foftein" was built in 1989 and "Metolius" in 1992. I mean a CURRENTLY LAUNCHED yacht. She was built in the Netherlands. 54,64 m and was built in 2005.

You are then thinking of Adele by Andre Hoek, built by Vitters shipyard.
She was to Norway during her maiden voyage, eventhough I think she was in Sweden before that since she was christened there..

Yes, I mean Adèle. Her maiden voyage was to spitsbergen. Have read someting about the christening in sweden, but nothing about her maiden voyage through sweden. I have never seen a swedish flag. the flag of the Cayman Islands only.

You're next

Actually she had a two month shake-down cruise to the Arctic before the christening so you have probably seen those pictures. Nice yacht!

Q; The Feadship Virginian was built around a marble bath in the owners accommodation. Not much used since you had to tap hot water several times to heat up the marble...

Now there is a yacht built around five bath tubs carved out of limestone. What was the launch name, or the present since she recently sold?

Lurssen's Air?

Right Kevin!

Now called ICE, which might have to do with the cold bathwater...

You´re up!

D'oh! I had a good question all figured out last week and was waiting to get one right to use it, now I can't remember what it was.

Ok, a really easy one in the mean time... name a Canadian owned Lurssen.

Northern Star

Too easy, eh? You're up Kalmeran.

Talking about owners : who said : "what is a yacht more than an expensive way of carrying a large sun deck" ??

That sounds like something Luca Bassanni would say.

Well,Kevin,perhaps he did, but the man I am looking for is :
(clues!!)
- American
- named his Feadship after his wife
- knows everything about cruising........

Hm...this is taking too much time so I will give the answer and a new easier question.
The owner who said : a yacht is an expensive way of supporting a sun deck, was (the late) Mr.Arison, owner of Carnival Cruises and Holland America Line............now, give me the name of the yacht with the large sun deck he had build in 1992..

Could it be "Mylin IV"?

Yes, it is Mylin IV.....still one of the most stylish Feadships....and still owned by the Arison family.

The stage is yours !

Guys, I'm so sorry for the late, but I have so much work with my new websites and I had no time to thinking about an question.

Question: Which yacht was built in 1929 at the Krupp Germaniawerft?

Name all her five names, which she had!

That would be Haida G. Formerly, in no particular order:

Haida, Sarina, Rosenkavalier and U.S.S. Argus.

Right?
