I went past it on my way down the Potomac a couple of days ago. Just curious. *It's big. ==== This one? http://www.charterworld.com/news/nobiskrug-deliver-motor-yacht-jamaic... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPuQ7BOyQIk Yes, that one. It's a foreign registry, probably to a corporate entity. * Typically the builders, brokers and crew of a boat like that will be sworn to secrecy with non-disclosure agreements regarding the true identity of the owner. * Sometimes if you google around you can pick up snippets of gossip. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=yacht+jamaica+bay+owner I googled around extensively but couldn't turn up anything concrete. Looks like anyone who's had anything to do with it is sworn to secrecy.. I had my interest piqued because I was wandering around Old Alexandria Sunday a week back and this thing was at the pier there. *Bit hard to miss being that big. *The I saw it again when I was heading back down river. *I wondered who'd bothered to take it all the way to Washington (not an easy drive) and thought it just might have been the guy who owns the Redskins. *Apparently these things are the latest must have for the owners - the Ravens' owners' boat, "Final Drive" from memory, sits alongside Ego Alley in Annapolis. Not in it, but next slip other side sort of. *But then I figured if they are "must haves" they have to tell everyone, right? *I abhor a vacuum so I want to know. Hoges in the Piankatank The ones we get over here are almost always on charter or going to be chartered, or fixing it up to go on charter, or, or, or. The actual owners might come out for a couple of weeks a year but the majority of the "passengers" have chartered it. We had one come in twice with a helicopter on the roof:-) That one I did ask about as the helicopter had some strange licence number. Nobody knew where the helicopter was registered but I was told that it couldn't fly in the country without a lot of paper work to get permissions, etc. -- Cheers, Bruce That chappy from Microsoft who owns the Sea Eagles has one with a helo on it. *He was in West Oz a couple of years ago. *The boat goes to places and his Dive Master scopes out diving for him then he flies in to wherever and the helo comes and picks him up and takes him to the boat. *Paul something like Allan or Allen or? *I'm on a limited * connection at the moment or I'd look it up. *That boat's not a big secret, though. http://www.colonnayachts.com/COLONNA...CUSTOMERS.html |
