  • Engineers on the propellors of Al Mirqab, a 95-meter motor yacht with three ten thousand horse power engines.  This yacht was one of three yachts ordered at the same time by a Saudi family - the other two yachts were 80 meters long.  This yacht built by Oceanco out of Alblasserdam, Holland was initially designed to travel at 23 knots but the owner wanted an additional three knots so a third engine was added.  At top speed the yacht now consumes 100,000 liters of fuel per day.  Less than 48 hours before the owner took delivery, the starboard engine blew up.

  • A small boat admires yachts for charter during the Ft. Lauderdale Boat show, the world's largest boat show which attracts vendors, builders and customers from around the planet.  It has been said that a boatman's dream is always always a bigger boat.  The need for more room to accomodate owner, guests and crew and privacy from each other quickly drives the scale of a yacht into absurd proportions.  For all with the owner's family, guests and crew comes the need for refrigeration, cooking, food storage, water makers, engines, generators, waste management, air conditoning, tenders, cranes, jet-skies and a vast array of other water toys to keep everyone entertained over vast periods of time.  Yachting has been said to be the equivalent of standing in a cold shower shredding money.

  • The 48-meter luxury yacht Land's End suffered severe damage Tuesday August 9th, 2005 after running aground on the St. Joseph Rocks in the Bay of Sagone, Corsica. It was heading towards the beach at 10:30 a.m. under clear skies when it struck one of the many treacherous rocks dotting the popular west coast off the island.  None of the 25 passengers aboard were seriously injured yet there was concern about the 70,000 liters of diesel fuel leaking into the pristine waters.  Maritime authorities in Toulon issued a statement assuring pollution containment.  Caution is advised for boats of all sizes while traveling throughout the area.  According to Rod Heikell's Pilot, the respected nautical guide published by Imray, "Care is needed in the approach because of the off lying reefs around the bay.  By day this is straight forward, but it should not be attempted a night."  The boat, which had been carrying 12 Portuguese charter guests was aground on rocks of depths from 2 to 5 meters.  Fortunately waters remained calm until Wednesday but a mistral is heading for the area on Friday.
