Alexander Marine are proud to present this 2017 Maritimo S59 to the market as worldwide central agents. 'Arwen' is presented in immaculate condition having been lightly used and professionally maintained by her one owner. New boat buyers are encouraged to consider this turn key vessel available for immediate delivery. The Maritimo S59 model is a 'beamy' single level, three cabin, two bathroom vessel with broad appeal. The S59 fits a niche market where boaties either have bridges to navigate to reach their home berths, or who prefer the functionality, ease of ownership and social benefits of single level boating. No more flybridge clears to keep clean! The S59 features a full beam midship master cabin, which is a hallmark of the Maritimo range, a VIP cabin with an island double bed and a third bunk cabin. Her walk around decks make access around the boat easy, as does the convenient helm door for the skipper when docking. In addition to the noticeable beam of 'Arwen', she also features a large electrically opening lazerette similar to that provided on the larger M64 cruising motor yacht and also the M51. This huge storage space is perfect for all the water toys you could want, and for additional stowage generally. The Seakeeper Gyro stabilizer is installed in this area for stability underway and at rest. The cockpit is accessed from both sides with openings to the upgraded hi/lo hydraulic swim platform. Other notable equipment items onboard 'Arwen' include Satellite TV, Idromar watermaker, Miele galley applicances, Zodiac liferaft, saloon sunroof and her AB RIB. Maritimo's race proven shaft drive technology reduces fuel consumption and gives the peace of mind of lower maintenance costs and increased longevity of ownership. Like its two level sibling the S59 has all the attributes of the Maritimo brand and will be equally at home cruising Sydney Harbour, Moreton Bay, the Great Loop in the US and other great waterways of the world.

The Tragic Story of Franz Reichelt and His Failed Parachute Suit Jump from the Eiffel Tower Franz Reichelt, an Austrian-born French tailor, inventor, and parachuting pioneer, died while testing his parachute suit by jumping off the Eiffel Tower in 1912. Reichelt had become fixated on developing a suit for aviators that would convert into a parachute and allow them to survive a fall should they be forced to leave their aircraft in mid-air. Despite numerous efforts to dissuade him, Reichelt was adamant about taking the jump himself. The parachute failed to deploy, and he plunged 187 ft (57 m) to his death. This video tells the tragic story of Franz Reichelt and his failed parachute suit jump from the Eiffel Tower.
