    One of the most spectacular sailing yachts will be launched any day now. The size of Athena she will not be missed, but what is the name of her most unusual feature?

    Oh I know this one... I just can't think of what they're called. It's the sail system, is it not? Some sort of windfoil or something...

    A Businessman, his wife, his 5 children, 2 teachers and the yacht crew did a world cruising tour.

    Name the name of the yacht.

    Kalmeran, you're right! It was Alithia. She was built in 2002 by Abeking & Rasmussen in Lemwerder.

    It's your turn.

    Kevin, to my informations, the owner of Lady Lola had not his children on his tour

    In May 2004, 18 trawlers from 40 to 90 feet, crossed the Atlantic.
    15 were build by Nordhavn. Name the three yards that build the other three.....

    Hmmm.....difficult question? :confused: No enthusiast trivia players? :)

    Let me rephrase the question: what type of boat was the largest in the 2004 Nordhavn Atlantic Rally (her name was Crosser)

    It was a 90' Monk designed McQueen. I was in Ft. Lauderdale for the kick-off rally. Your question stumped me because I didn't recall seeing another brand of passagemaker, although I vaguely remember a Krogen and a Northern Marine participating.

    You are right!

    Your turn !

    At 150', this yacht is among the smallest to have a helicopter garage, but what's really impressive is... the bay was pressurized to protect the helicopter from the salt air environment.

    What was her original name, who built her and what's her new name?

    New name: Karima

    Hope you mean this beautiful yacht. She must be in the size of 150'

    Yes! I don't find her the most attractive of expeditions, but her capabilites far exceed her looks. Rene... you're up!

    I'm not very creative about questions. So here is an easy one:

    Which yachts helped Mirabella V, when she had her big problem?

    Yes, Ecstasea was one. But there were two yachts! which was the other one? Come on. This question is easy. The yacht has a blue hull.
