Many spotters are fan of expedition yachts. Luna should be the sensation of 2009. Before that, here is a picture of Spirit of Ulysses, leaving the FLIBS 2008. She's a Nordhavn 76 (hull 7608), not a megayacht, but a nice design.

About 02/04/2007, did you ever find a copy of the picture ? As I am on the same quest in my Family Genealogy research. My Great Uncle, Frank Caiels was on the expedition in 1924, aged 16 ! I have a picture of the crew on board of the yacht, but I have never seen a full picture of her, only the one in the same book, which I also have a copy. Good hunting and if I find a picture I will forward a copy on to you.

This is not really a yacht. It is classed by the ABS as a passenger
vessel and carries 28 guests with 32 crew. Built in 2006 by Asenav at
Valdivia, Chile for the tourist operators Nomads of the Seas,
Atmosphere's interior is nevertheless to luxury yacht standard. Twin 595kW Cummins diesel propel the vessel to a maximum speed of 12,5 knots. Atmosphere is used mainly for fishing and helicopter exploration trips in Patagonia.

This is new for me. The yard is Asenav in Chile. They built a 27m yacht recently as well as many commercial vessels in the past. It means that we cannot ignore some of the less well known yards even if they are commercial.

Do you know something about Atmosphere? I have just found this expedition styled yacht. Is it a conversion or a new yacht? Link : http://www.bernard-gallay.com/...

Pangaea and Ulysses are both on the hard, at Bay Ship and Yacht boatworks on the Oakland Estuary, Alameda, California (photo 2/2/08).

Does anyone have a photograph of the SY St.George which was used for an expedition to the South Seas in 1925. I have Douglas' book but my grandfather had a large print of the yacht - since disappeared - surrounded by photographs of the crew. I think this must have been printed in 1926 or 1927 but have never seen another copy.

This ship is a little bit of everything. Some kind of yacht (you can book a cabin), but this ship is also interesting for people who wants to do a training. 6 crew plus 12 trainees are onboard. Classification : GL + 100 A5 E3 "Training Vessel" + MC AUT E3. More details : http://www.oceanstar.de/...

There is a 115m expedition yacht, Project Luna, could be built in Germany.

Wow, that Copasetic looks interesting. Were it 2 feet longer it would be the largest yacht ever built in Canada, but I found the fact it was built by a "metal" company a little troubling since they probably don't have much experience building expedition yachts, although they have built many other vessels over the years. I also found the fact it was 5 decks a bit troubling even though it is quite beamy at 32'. Five decks on a 141' yacht is probably pretty spacious, but also seems a bit top heavy and if there's one thing you want in an expedition yacht, it's balance.

The main design feature of Maupiti (now Karima) was the large helicopter hangar under aft deck, which I could not see in the excellent photos in Grand Harbour Malta taken from her starboard side, so I hope this has been retained. And also the Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) which was so useful in the Pacific voyages Maupiti made, where anchoring close to the Atolls is usually impossible. Every Expedition yacht should have this ; it is surprising that none does! Not at all expensive, even as retro-fit ; the technology was developed 40 years ago for the Offshore Oil industry, for hovering over the oil well.

Do you know the exact LOA of Karima (ex Maupiti) since her refit. Her stern was lengthened, and I think that her length is 50m now. Any confirmation?

Mark sent us another picture of Ulysses. For the moment I only use it for the glimpse of the card, because her size is limited. Logically Mark will send us a larger version soon. Link : http://www.yachtspotter.com/...

Heres some early pics of the Trinity yacht Ulysses about to be unloaded from the Dockwise in Auckland. As you can see conditions are terrible as present so the unloading has been delayed until the storm passes.

Excellent news - we have been waiting for this yacht to appear. The owner is very experienced with large yachts with his wife a first rate interior designer. Unfortunately his last new build Ulysses - Feadship of 160 feet - we only saw the interior after she was sold to an American. Readers may be interested to know that the owner now worth over $2 billion started out as a tow truck driver.
