Sunday morning, its quiet aboard Wind Horse<\/em>, and there is time to partially catch up on photos. A few items which have caught our eye follow starting with this brand new 105 footer, just in from her Capetown builders.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n She is a very light Bruce Farr design, just 60 tons.<\/p>\n There are, as you have seen, lots of fizzboats in this part of the world. For the most part we find them boring, especially the rounded Eurostyle boats.<\/p>\n High volume in a short waterline. Go high and wide. Works in calm weather, not so cool at sea.<\/p>\n They have some interesting canvas to gain yet more interior space.<\/p>\n The combination of stainless framework and canvas works aesthetically, especially with the dark color fabric.<\/p>\n Typical ship anchoring detail. You could hear the chain rubbing on the chafe plate (and probably the bulb) a half mile away.<\/p>\n We are guessing this is a traditional Dutch shear line. The superstructure certainly stands out.<\/p>\n In calm winds this veranda area will be very nice.<\/p>\n A handsome older motoryacht. Not a lot of interior volume compared to the others, but very comfortable and a probably a good sea boat.<\/p>\n Now lets shift focus to a very cool sailing yacht. We’ll let the photos speak for themselves.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n And, still our favorite yacht…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
