The name plate is quite short and the name itself seems to be very short maybe four letters and to begin
with an O or C and end with an A or M or similar letter. The superstructure
is white - what looks grey is the protective foil - in the aft the windows
have black surroundings too. The draft is 5,60 m at the bow and 5,50 m aft -
after the waterline marking.

Tatoosh, bathing platform Octopus and for that together with Al Said the same structure for the biminis. The nock looks stylish and is not typical for a designer normally working with Lürssen.

New launch at Lürssen. Looking closely, shows some style elements from other yachts. Mainly Tatoosh - from the colour and form - big front, smaller back. Funnels are Al Said
style, heli landing Ronin or Sea Bowld - just the structure.

I heard a sad rumour about the future of Kalamoun and/or Destriero or both.
One of the two was sold for scrap. My informant told me that the one sold
for scrap has been already demolished at the yard. This would mean - as
Destriero is still in the water - Kalamoun was broken up. This sounds
unbelievable, because she seamed in a better condition as Destriero. Further
he told me, that the future function of the one which should be refitted is
a museum. This indeed sounds like Destriero. Can anyone confirm or dement
this news?

We can imagine a classic refit for Kalamoun (and this is Kalamoun, no doubt about that. But the yacht was lengthened in 1986, this could be the reason you don't recognize her). The question is for Destriero, refit or conversion, I have no idea for the moment. Why not at Devonport... and why also!?

There are some main questions :
1. What does the future will look like for these two yachts?
2. A conversion (Destiero) or cost intensive refit?
3. Why not at Devonport?
4. Is this Kalamoun? There was a Lürssen build yacht (Gilengast Design) between the A&R Kalamoun and Shergar - I believe it is moreover this yacht (- and sure I know we where ever talking about this yacht as Kalamoun)

Kalamoun and Destriero were brought there in a dockship. Destriero looks like it could sink every second. You can see every year these ships were lying side by side in Plymouth. What a shame... If you're interested: You can see them in every picture on Google Earth from 2001 to 2007 near this spot: 50°22'51.27"N, 4°11'4.99"W

Meer & Yachten has published this info under Espen Øino, not under Lürssen. The successor of Kismet is possibly a Lürssen project according to the picture. It is said that Tempete is based on a radical concept with much interior space and a clear exterior styling. The tender will be stowed in rooms not visible from the outside. She will have some similarities to Skat but the design tends absolutely more to Silver which indicates to me that Lürssen will not build her.

I think I gotta correct this. Sunflower is at the pier, Darius in the Lemwerder

Sunflower can, at the moment, be seen on the AIS just off Wilhelmshaven. Her size is noted as 154 x 24 x 5,2 metres. By the way, I browsed through the German yachting magazine Boote Exclusive at the newsstand. It had a small note about Sunflower which said that she carries a crew of 200 (!) and has a concert hall large enough for a 50 person symphony orchestra. Anyone who can confirm this? It seems to be at bit staggering, but of course Sunflower is exactly not the usual kind of yacht.

About one week ago a 110 m casco was transferred from SSW to Lürssen Vegesack. It was in a German newspaper. A picture too, but very low quality. It has nocks like Pelorus and is not that high. The yacht's project name is Darius which is irritating me, because I thought the 110 m project is called Opal. Are there two yachts the same length under construction at Lürssen, or two project names for one yacht?

Here is a really interesting picture. It was taken by a friend of a spotter, and the yacht wasn't the purpose of the picture. Thanks for the involuntary scoop! According to the spotter, the picture "was taken in summer at the Lürssen Bardenfleet yard (ex-Schweers) and I think it shows Bounty Hunter. No other yacht at this yard should be in this stage of the building process".

Leveller took this picture approx. one week ago. About the masts, there is nothing special. Usually the masts are added after the launch, simply because the shed are rarely rather high. About the scaffolding, we can imagine they are completing the electronic side, etc... Note also the exhausts above the main funnel.

What a disappointment! The first photos of the bow section looked promising with classic and rather shippy looks, hinting at a departure from the more usual superyacht looks, but this looks more like a ferry from the 1960s. Admittedly, the proportions are quite alright (not as bulky as some other yachts), but unlike Al Salamah her lines are not the least coherent. While Al Salamah is a not a beauty, at least her lines are coherent. The different lines of sheerline, windows, fashionplates, funnels and masts of Sunflower all point at different angles. She is all bits and pieces, her mast resemble those of Issham al Baher and Atlantis II while the vertical windows look like those on the 40 m Centium. Even Al Said has better lines (given a fairing, a new paint job and cleaning up her array of antennas, she could look quite elegant).
Even though Sunflower is built for state functions, I am sure she could have better looks if a good designer had been called in from the outset. I think we can be certain that her designer is more used to draw commercial ships rather than yachts. A bit of waste in my opinion to lavish Lürssen's excellent craftsmanship and engineering on such a non-design. Should I say anything on the positive side, it is refreshing to see another kind of thinking when it comes to design.
|
Posted by Mark | 09/12/2007 @ 01:15 | Reply
Well Sunflower is certainly unusual in appearance. Twin funnels and three masts give her upper decks a crowded look. I like the hull colour - something different from white. But I think the other contributors are right in that she is a State Yacht and as such her design needs to reflect this with a large number of public rooms and cabins to support the vast numbers of a Royal Court. These requirements are not going to allow a real yacht beauty. However she must look very impressive from bow on.

Great job from Lürssen again. Some very interesting details :
- the balcony on the 3rd deck is not symetry (stearboard / harbour). On the right site he is split. The windows are not symetry too.
- the three tender boxes on each site are covered (the back maybe covered like Lady Moura - the complete 2nd deck will covered?)
- it seems like a huge heligarage with doors.
- double funnels with bow masts.
She combine some old with new details and make an unique result.

To Philipp : or she will be moved out trough the back side of the dock. In front of the dock on land you can see one of the segments that have been moved to uncover the dock. If I remember right it is the top segment of the open door section. You can see the ropes for the crane on top of it.

Thank you for the pictures. She seems to be built to commercial ship standards like Al Salamah or her predeccesor, Al Said.

Great photos - she does look very very interesting. We now await her full uncovering to confirm a new beauty has been born.

I have to correct : she is not white. It is more a sandy colour like Al Said, but a bit lighter. In the foreground you can see another mast with SAT domes which is still standing on the left side of the shed. Interesting are the port holes which seems to be green, not sure if there are lights or they are coloured.

Hot news! Sunflower will be out during the next 24 hours. Lürssen started the uncovering process of her shed. She is a beauty! Due to the bad weather and other circumstances the quality is not the best, but I think good enough to get an idea what a beautiful yacht Sunflower is. In the pictures she seems to have a pink hull, this is due to the orange light inside the shed. She's all white. Her funnel, which not can be seen on the pictures, is similar to the mast in the foreground, and reminds a bit to the design of cruise ships in the sixties (ex Wappen Von Hamburg now MY Mercator II).

Yes Max, I agree. And the three extra metres contribute to this optimization. Note also the modification of the design around the wheelhouse and the foredeck lounge. The lines of the superstructure are inverted in comparison to those of Apoise. Thanks to that, Saint Nicolas looks more modern and less bulky.

Thanks for the clarification Paul, I took a look here http://www.moranyachts.com/... and realized that Queen K has evolved from the Chateau project.
After studying the details of Firebird more closely I am willing to side with you regarding the designer. It is surely a Heywood design, with details from Carinthia VII and Amels Limited Edition series. By the way, do you know more about the Safari project (launch date,
particulars, photos)?
|
Posted by Paul Walter | 02/09/2007 @ 14:15 | Reply
The unfinished shell was that of Queen K. It was build at the Lürssen subsidiary in Rendsburg and was completed in Bremen. Everybody thought
it was the Chateau project but it turned out to be Queen M. Personally I think Chateau and Queen M are the same and its design was changed during design/construction phase but who knows.
Regarding Firebird, she looks similar to the Safari project currently under construction at B&V. My idea is that Tim Heywood is responsible
for her design.

Posted by Johan | 02/09/2007 @ 13:30 | Reply
Max881, I am quite certain that Chateau was a 64 m project and Bunbun was the project name for Queen K. I remember seeing a photo of the unfinished shell of Chateau once.
About Firebird, a not so wild guess would be that Espen Oeino is the designer.

Which Lürssen had the project name of Chateau? She was in Global Order book in 2004, 2005 and 2006 at 64m/210 ft. It is not listed in 2007 Global Order. Was it launched? On the artist rendering I have, she looks like Queen K (x-Queen M).

Bounty Hunter seems to be a real name as it's already in Equasis. Lürssen project names are normally not available through Lloyds' Register Fairplay.
Isn't the 262ft Scout also a Lürssen yacht? Although similar to the 255ft Newscot I think Scout is another yacht also in progress at Lürssen.
Depending on when the "German magazines" made their counts arriving at 10 projects under construction we will be quite close. There have been three recent launches (Kismet, Linda Lou and Eos). Possibly there is another 100m+ yacht not accounted for (Sunflower being known). I don't know what this other 100m+ could be...

The project name of Hunter is definitively Bounty Hunter. Launch will be 2008, length 60 m, building place is Lürssen Bardenfleet.

Some of them are known :
- Hunter 198ft
- Nemo 230ft
- Shark 230ft
- Newscot 255ft
- Bermuda 260ft
- Domingo 285ft
- Sunflower 508ft
I think that the other ones are in the tube but not official for the moment.
Note that Nemo should be launched in a couple of weeks!

I was on a Christmas walk besides the Weser and tried to take some pics through the shed windows of the Lürssen floating dock to find out the feature look of the project Sunflower. I don't know if you can see something on the pic, but for me it looked like a bigger version of Octopus. The forward sundeck structure really looks the same as the one on Octopus, the same rounding...

Take a look to my image. This is really only a bathing platform like Athena. But there is also a smaller second door on the side in the aft of the hull. Athena has there the owner stateroom.

| Few details of Eos are known for the moment. But if we accept that Eos is based on the model of Athena, we can imagine that there is nothing "behind" this hatch. This is just a bathing-platform fit in the shape of the hull. You can find the same one on the other side. The design of the stern doesn't give the possibility to have a bathing-platform. It could be possible, but not easily. |  |

Beautiful photo! She looks absolutely stunning, she exceeds the renderings by far. There is one unusual thing about her; the glass along the bulwark on the main deck. Is it a full beam salon or is the glass paneling just for protection of the side deck? There are no drainage ports for the entire length of those windows.

Indeed Velox, that's a real dilemma. According to some registers, the LOA is used or the LWL, or the both which is not easy to use. And it's the same shambles for motor yachts with bowsprits (Savarona, Talitha G, Haida G...). Personally I always used the LOA, and then I include the bowsprit.
|
Posted by Velox | 08/25/2006 @ 12:50 | Reply
This overall length question is a becoming a difficult one for Sail Yachts...
You give Eos at 92,92m but this includes bowsprit.
For exemple :
- Athena is 90m LOA spars but kind of 79,25m LOD and 60,52m LWL
- while Maltese Falcon is 88m LOA and LOD and 78,22m LWL much bigger to me!
There is more (smaller !) to come, as Holland Jachtbouw just announced the start of the build of schooner Athos (http://www.yachting.nl/...). The press release says 62m, while the Andre Hoek website had for sometime published a design in progress which, albeit very close, states LOA at 70m (262') : bowsprit not bowsprit ....?
Shall we come back at the tradition rating sailing yachts by LWL ?

Interesting details in the last BI :
- we know the official LOA of Eos, 92.92 metres. Now we can say that she's the longest sail yacht
- the launch of Falcon is still scheduled for September

It's possible that Rising Sun is at Lürssen for a periodical class survey involving dry-dock inspection of the hull, bottom, propellers, rudder etc. All ships have to go through that now and then.

Much to see at Lürssen at the moment. Eos, Linda Lou at the outfitting pier in Lemwerder. Rising Sun on the Vegesack side of the river Weser under full illumination and in the floating dock which was open for a week, a giant new built, a beam of over 20 m and as high as the covered floating dock. I was busy today and arrived to late to really see what is inside, but I guess it?s the project Sunflower. It?s a speculation, but if it?s the Sunflower, the building dock in Vegesack would be empty now, maybe for Rising Sun, to do some maintenance work or for a other big new Lürssen project. Has anyone any ideas?

Very interesting ? but this continuing trend of having a flush foredeck and low bridge deck to allow the maximum possible height for the sundeck, must be a nightmare for the Captains with the sight lines from the wheelhouse more or less horizontal, placing a heavy reliance on radar etc to actually see what might be coming towards you.

In addition to the post of Philipp, the floating dock is at least 220 m long. In the article of Boote Exclusiv was also a top secret 140 m project mentioned. This is the project Sunflower which is in the Lürssen Vegesack shed and will be a little bit as Octopus, an explorer with many extras. Does anyone know something about a Lürssen project called Hunter? Building place I think is Lürssen Bardenfleet.

Project Eos got her three masts about 12 days ago. It's an imposing view to see her moored in Lemwerder, a giant, but from her lines absolutely beautiful. A must see for everyone in the area. Also under the background that you can sit on a park bench or at a restaurant on the other riverside and watch her as long as you wish. Also there is a small motoryacht, I think it?s the refitted Shergar.
