Thanks Gibdan for the closer shot of the EC-130. Now that is what i call a sexy tender. Brunick, yes i'm pretty sure that what you saw was a S-76. Princess Mariana's helo pad is versatile. The Amazon Express is something else. Of all the colours available..hmm.. Ps. What is wrong with Capella C, she has a tumor growing out of her head?
jep - very versatile sun deck, party deck, helo deck - what else? just thinking about the sizes of both helos - EC 155 and S76 should be almost the same size, aren't they?
Brunick, i believe the S76 is a bit bigger than the EC-155. They are similar though. Yep though, that pad can land and accomodate just about any helo. Lets see a 'Sea King' or a 'Chinook' take for a landing though.

just found nice info about both on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_S-76 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocopter_EC_155 the S-76 is a bit longer than the Eurocopter and i found out that there is no EC 130 - just an EC 120...
Are you sure Brunick? I thought that there were a few yachts carrying around EC-130s. See here for the EC-130 model. http://www.eurocopterusa.com/Product/ec130/EC130.asp
lala i was a bit wrong was thinking about the wikipedia entrys - haven't looked on the website of eurocopter
