The interior design by Nauta Design breaks away from traditional yacht aesthetics, offering a bright, contemporary environment with a choice of three to six cabins to suit private owners or large groups. The cockpit is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, featuring a retractable sunroof that allows guests to control sunlight and ventilation throughout the day. Engineered with a low boom and a high-aspect ratio rig for efficiency, the 15 delivers a modern maritime lifestyle without sacrificing the thrill of the wind. A well-specified model is typically valued at 1 million US dollars. #Excess15 #SailingCatamaran #VPLPDesign #HarbourMasters

https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/605/JUDITH%20R Restored with passion, skill, and not inconsiderable funds, the Long Island Sound Commuter Yacht JUDITH R is a remarkable exemplar in the history of the #motorboat - both technically and in popular culture - and in her attributed designer John L. Hacker's place beside lifelong friend and client Henry Ford in the story of the successful application of the internal combustion engine. Moreover, typically of all classic yachts, JUDITH R remains a beautiful, tastefully upgraded piece of living, #liveable, usable #history. One imagines halcyon days spent #aboard, #cruising fast or slow, in the footsteps of not just first owner, Paramount Pictures president Barney Balaban - who used her to speedily and elegantly commute from Connecticut home to #manhattan office and named her after his daughter, Judith Rose - but also, one imagines, an impressive roster of stellar guests.

As the 48th Rolex Fastnet Race moves through its fourth day, the flood of arrivals continues. The window of opportunity for those pursuing overall victory is narrowing and, after four days, crews still at sea are beginning to tire. Finishing well is dependent upon full commitment to performing at the best of one's ability and remaining resolute until the finish. The American yacht Wizard is currently in top spot, but the prevailing characteristic of Rolex Fastnet Race crews is to persevere to the very end, meaning the result remains in the balance. Nearly a century old, the Rolex Fastnet Race remains one the most inspiring and recognizable offshore racecourses in the world. Supported by Rolex since 2001, the race is organized by the Royal Ocean Racing Club, and the 2019 race has attracted a record fleet of 388 yachts ready and willing to test themselves against one of the toughest of offshore races.
