In her new paintwork, Moonbird (formerly Midnight) looks completely stunning. She stayed three nights at Marigot Bay. The paint finish is not black, it is a very dark metallic grey, a Ferrari colour called "Silverstone Grey" I believe. The topsides, superstructure and spars are all in the same colour with splashes of silver grey metallic trim as striping and on the deck cushions. Whatever nightmare that paint colour may be from a protection and maintenance point of view, of all the yachts we have had in our marina, Moonbird attracted the most attention.

The 105' sailing yacht Apache is currently at Newport Shipyard undergoing a refit/repower during the 2008 winter storage season. Apache is still listed "for sale" and will have 2 new Northern Light generators and a Volvo Main Engine for power come spring.

Both Apache and the unfinished hull were built for charter, by an investment and "tax shelter" fund led by a french bank, under the then popular "Loi Pons". The bare hull has been lying on the hard and in the open, in St Nazaire port - the other side of the basin from the liners shipyards - for a very long time. Last time I heard about Apache she was on the hard, in Trinidad (I think). The bank is trying to close the fund but sounds to have resisted a number of offers to drop prices.

The sailing yacht Apache, built in France by N2A, has been for sale for a long time. I have spotted her many times, and while checking to see if she was still on the market I found a previously unknown sister ship (Panthera) and this You Tube montage about Apache :

Here is a recent picture of Pilar Rossi since her refit. Now she's a sail yacht of 64 metres. She sailed around Sardinia this summer. And in exclusivity, here are her new specifications : http://www.yachtspotter.com /...

I had some difficulties to identify this schooner. She was too far to see her name on the stern. And finally I've found her. She's Argo, part of a fleet of school ships (Sea-mester). She was launched in Thailand one year ago. And she's designed by the famous Bill Langan. Here is a card : http://www.yachtspotter.com/...

Bad news from the HSH Nordbank blue race : Parsifal III suffered damage to the boom and sails and has to retire from the race. She will make her way under motor to Cuxhaven, Germany (ETA 07/09/07 2200). The decision was made after a crisis conference with Marten Spars. Mainsail and mizzen are so heavily damaged that sailing on the wind is not possible any more. The news in German : http://www.hsh-nordbank-blue-race.com/...

This race is the HSH Nordbank Blue Race, between Newport and Hamburg. Parsifal III is, by far, the largest sail yacht of the fleet. You can find more news and a race tacker on the official website : http://www.hsh-nordbank-blue-race.com

The yacht in Amsterdam, moored alongside the Scheepvaartsmuseum, was the Mystere. She looked fantastic and very imposing. George Town registration.

While passing Amsterdam today I saw a sailing yacht moored at the Maritime Museum of Amsterdam. The yacht had a blue hull and a silver/grey superstructure. I think she is the new Vitters Mystere. Anyone who can confirm this? Link : http://www.vitters.com/...

The 1920 gaff rigged superyacht Lulworth has been launched. The operation was very complicated, due to lack of sufficient depth at Viareggio. Full story here : http://www.bymnews.com/...
