I'm going through the archive here, and is it me, or do some of these "yachts" look like refurbished tug boats, navy frigates or even scows?
Some do look like that indeed. Christina O being one of the more known examples. Started her life as River-class frigate HMCS Stromont.
I remember Simon S (renamed again now) that always impressed me. Ice classed, then converted to one beautiful expedition yacht. Giant also.
