RedM Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Utterly pointless and a good indicator of a persons class. If you have class you don't flaunt your wealth in the depths of a world-wide recession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Utterly pointless to have a huge boat you can travel the world on in complete luxury? sounds like heaven to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 to have a huge boat you can travel the world on in complete luxury? sounds like heaven to me. I bet he doesn't travel the world in it. Too slow. It's more likely that it sails to wherever he needs to impress people while he flies in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Its a shame that Abramovich also has about 5 other superyacht's although he has had this building for 3 years now, before the recession, he would make a loss if he sold it now, although its the biggest yacht in the world. Some pics from earlier too, Eclipse and the neighbour boat im working on which is a lovely looking yacht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 should be ok, there are pictures of it on yachtspotter when they pulled it out of the shed so shouldnt make a difference Thanks Ric, but changed my mind. Pics of Eclipse is already out there sure enough, but the other one (Orca) is still top secret and I don't want to get you into trouble. As to the best Megayacht builder ?? I'd say on balance Lurssen. Incidentally, Eclipse was built by Blohm and Voss, not Lurssen, although the two companies are often in cahoots with these larger projects. As they were when Tirpitz and Bismarck were built. Oh and its Feadship, not Fedship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 If it were true I would like to know how and with what. they are, and with lots very new builds have anti terrorism defences, sound canons and water canons which are automatically tracked as well as the same cameras and heat detection capabilities as an apache helicopter. Not to mention private security such as ex SAS with weapons etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
