    In post 376 at the top of this page you can see the gym seems to be on the aft end of the bridge deck, you can see what appears to be gym equipment through the glass.

    Thanks Ron, gorgeous photos of a gorgeous yacht! Yep I recognized the gym.
    Interesting to see how they carry out the tenders, she seems to have many..
    She looks really agressive with these red lights on the bridge.. almost like an animal...

    Milow she seems to carry an array of tenders. In the second day shot I posted yesterday you can see a powerboat to pull toys around for watersport activity in the forward garage. I looked at the high rez version of it just now and I can definitely make out the word "SKI" something on it. Also, the transom door was opened in the day but she didn't swing around enough on anchor that I could peep inside. However, I can imagine behind such large side shell doors must be a limo guest tender in the region of 8 or 9-meters. I'll try to see if I can get some interesting shots today if she remains out there.

    Saw her when I went for a haircut yesterday.
    She's gorgeous! :)

    I got two group shots of Katara and Vibrant Curiosity when they were both moored together off Bay Street.

    I'll upload them soon! :)

    Great! look forward to seeing them! And ensure that you keep your photos to a maximum size of roughly 640 pixels wide, thanks!

    As they were taken with my cell phone and from a great distance, please excuse the poor quality of the shots.
    I didn't have my camera to hand, as on that day my dad just suggested, "Lets go to lunch".
    The photos were taken from the parking lot just behind the Careenidge.

    Photos that I snapped a few minutes ago. She didn't have her transom open at the time. Anyways, it's a great day for photos!

    I'm seeing one of her tenders leaving the Port now and heading back to the mother ship AIS says... "Romulus T/T Vava II".

    That same tender towed four large inflatable fenders (sauceage-link fashion) from "Vava II" into the Bridgetown Port just now. I guess they are preparing to bring her in soon. Either way she has to return to the harbour for tomorrow.

    Comparing the 65-meter Benetti "Nataly" with a photo of mines of the 96-meter "Vava II". I find the design of both fascinating and similar. Redman Whiteley Dixon strikes again!

    YN you are so right!

    Their website RWD - Motor Yachts has some beautiful photos of the interiors and exteriors of their iconic creations.

    Any chance of a high res version of the first shot? It really is fantastic.

    Thanks for the great shots Ron.

    I have no idea honestly that I can credibly comfirm but I have been reading that the tenders were built in Sweden. I am not sure who had the contract to build them.
