Your favourite yachts on here?
« on: October 31, 2012, 12:53:17 PM »
With the increasing amount of ugly yachts (motor yachts, that is) let's see what are your favourite ones on here?
(Please, provide a photo or a link to it)

I despise big yachts. They are rich men's toys bought mostly with money gained from either criminal activities, despotic, corrupt regimes or exploitation of working people. The on good thing about large, private yachts is that they provide employment for the people who build them and those employed to sail the things for their bloated owners.

That is about the most ignorant and ill-informed statement I have read in a very long time.

Let's keep in mind the purpose of this topic initially was showing your favourite yachts which are firstly the praise of their designers & builders. Who is the owner & how he got this or that yacht doesn't matter.

To get back to the topic:

While my personal favorites would be many of the classic yacht, several which have been mentioned already, I do have some newer examples to add as well.

I'm really drawn to the rugged looks maintained by the salvage tug conversions such as LONE RANGER.

I feel slightly underappreciated are the sleek lines of yachts of the 1980's, such as MICHAELA ROSE.

Lastly, while not truly "yachts," I really do like Damen's yacht tenders such as OBERON. Forget whatever megayacht it tends, I would be perfectly happy to have this as my personal yacht.

Regards,
Kyle
