Yes you are right... Good job the Time Attack top boys are only running 800bhp+ though...

if they tried to run any proper BHP they could well be in trouble!
Priceless

How was Ibiza

coool mate. excellent time!

Saw a boat and wanted to ask you about it.

It had 'A' on the back and 'Hamilton'

Looked like something out of a James bond film. obviously stupidly expensive but very very nasty looking!!!!

you ever haerd of www.pictureplus.eu ? little helicopter firm that takes some wicked photos of you and your boat. Awesome!

Oh and I know you are obviously the man and probably know everything anyway but if you are looking for 2 uber cool places... then may I reccomend 'Blue Marlin' just amazing!!!! saw kate Moss there. one of the coolest places I have ever been

Juan Y Andreas was a lovely place to eat and was where we saw the MONSTER boat as well.

Cool thanks for the info cheers, l have not spent a huge amount of time their to be honest.

A was built in Blom and Voss in Germany and is in fact brand new thats her first cruise. Owner by a Russian 130m or there abouts. There is a big article about in it a magazine called The Yacht Report.



She was built as project Sigma, very cool boat takes over a week to wash it lol

With regards Hamilton that is were the boat is registered, like the QE2 says London Hamilton is in Bermuda

The thing it is doing is pushing the design envelope which so many people dont do, there are a few more yachts coming out that are just as radical

The design of 'A' is causing quite a stir in the yachting world...He had Philippe Starck design it for him.

I nearly bought the mag at the airport, just because this was on the front cover, but decided that the E12 price was too much considering the UK price of it .

Skim-read the article in the shop instead . It's a Marmite boat, and I LOVE it, looks like it was designed to go underwater as well. If it was in a James Bond film - it WOULD .
