Yachts in Gibraltar

Brunick,
Are you referring to Jo's bow down attitude and the crew hanging at the aft deck? Jo's a pretty boat, but does anyone have info on her running angle. Those look like only 4' to 6' seas.

Thanks for the pic of Dilbar. I think she is a beautiful yacht!

That's interesting with the sequence of pics of JO. She appeared to be almost drinking the water in 5 foot rip swells.

i think both - the crew is maybe trained to state of sea like that but i wouldn't try to meet on the aft deck

i've been on a 100m ferry on the english channel at 8-9bft with waves up to 3m - let's say that was enough for me to realize, that i'm not made for the big seas

Great photos of all the yachts. The ones of Jo were cool. Thanks

for posting them


Regards Ken

Dan, Since I live in the middle of Texas, USA I don't see to many mega yachts; thank you for the photos. May I ask you; about how far away were you from the JO when she was crossing? Those are exciting photos I cannot imagine what it would be like to cruise through such an historical location. Looking forward to seeing more.

Very cool shot..........great pictures Daniel.

when did that happen? that almost looks like it was 10 minutes ago :O

Dan

Thanks for the detail. Extremely cool photos.

She went down on the 12th of August 2007 after colliding with an oil tanker.

You can see a clip of her sinking at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHgjGAFz3Q4.
