Royal Brittania built in 1953, was retired in 1997.<br /><br />Codenamed FSP21 (Future Ship Project 21st Century), the 515-ft. vessel would be the third largest in the world, after those of Roman Abramovich and the ruler of Dubai.<br /><br />The yacht, which would have all the latest in technology and a plethora of ultra-luxury offerings, would cost $125 million financed from private and corporate sources.<br /><br />The proposed craft would be able to carry a helicopter, a miniature submarine, sailboat, two buses, bicycles, and an underwater laboratory to be used by the Royal Navy.<br /><br />Current design plans have the Windsor’s new vessel as a four masted square-rigged barque with solar capability and an auxiliary diesel electric power plant.<br /><br />It may all be a newspaper editor’s pipe dream… but you never know! – Via Jameslist<br /><br />Source www.luxuo.com<br /><br /><b>Similar Posts:</b><br /><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/10/steve-jobs-unfinished-feadship.html">Steve Jobs’ Unfinished Feadship Superyacht</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/10/quinta-essentia-superyacht.html">Quinta Essentia Superyacht</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/08/prince-al-waleed-takes-abramovichs.html">Prince Al Waleed takes Abramovich’s parking spot</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/06/ss-delphine-luxury-yacht.html">SS Delphine Luxury Yacht</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/06/bransons-necker-belle-sets-bvi-regatta.html">Branson’s Necker Belle Sets BVI Regatta Record</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/05/londons-sightseeing-boats-get-pre.html">London’s sightseeing boats get pre-Olympic upgrade</a> <br /><br /><b>Save and share The Daily Mail Designs the Queen’s Next Yacht</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends?

Steve Jobs’ Unfinished Feadship Superyacht

The luxury Lifestyle blog (the home of luxury Lifestyle) presents Steve Jobs’ Unfinished Feadship Superyacht.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEity8bki-cb0jIO9oUNx33sPyRP4GrIBpM0vFSWT_9DtMMXHIGDcw7gyyExnD2uUF6bR2Dj-8iJMgYkSjCfkyVbfZvKXLJvAuEVKDX7p9s1JEdOXNkbR_08CzFPTuihXVN60Ip_5DgvGx8/s1600/Feadship-Breathe-concept-yacht.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEity8bki-cb0jIO9oUNx33sPyRP4GrIBpM0vFSWT_9DtMMXHIGDcw7gyyExnD2uUF6bR2Dj-8iJMgYkSjCfkyVbfZvKXLJvAuEVKDX7p9s1JEdOXNkbR_08CzFPTuihXVN60Ip_5DgvGx8/s1600/Feadship-Breathe-concept-yacht.jpg" /></a></div>  <br />Steve Jobs was designing his own Feadship superyacht at the time of his death. The vessel had been in development since 2009.<br /><br />The design is said to be sleek and minimalist, naturally, with 40-foot-long glass walls and was to be built at Feadship’s facility in the Netherlands.<br /><br />“Sometimes, word gets out about one of our yachts,” Feadship tells Super Yacht News regarding the report.<br /><br />“We often build for captains of industry, royalty and other leading individuals. Understandably, our clients value their privacy greatly and consequently we never discuss our owners’ identity. We choose not to comment.”<br /><br />So what would Job’s yacht look like? Feadship’s Breathe concept, first unveiled at the Monaco Boat Show last year, is probably a good indication.<br /><br />Drawing inspiration from biomimicry, which imitates forms found in nature, it is one of the most radical Feadhsip designs to date.<br /><br />Via Jameslist.com<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWOoQQf-DbZGLDo0bmjHB5-B8p2U6rzZ-smoO5I3tgBuMzRHZZWkdU254ziq1wQd9quKe9T0o9C0hhsJAiSC66XDvt-Du5H5bwyBNKAQHy-rAr7hOHlwRcQjNUdlw7o-Bzf4CxUotegI/s1600/Feadship-Breathe-concept.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWOoQQf-DbZGLDo0bmjHB5-B8p2U6rzZ-smoO5I3tgBuMzRHZZWkdU254ziq1wQd9quKe9T0o9C0hhsJAiSC66XDvt-Du5H5bwyBNKAQHy-rAr7hOHlwRcQjNUdlw7o-Bzf4CxUotegI/s1600/Feadship-Breathe-concept.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><b>Similar Posts:</b><br /><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/10/quinta-essentia-superyacht.html">Quinta Essentia Superyacht</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/08/prince-al-waleed-takes-abramovichs.html">Prince Al Waleed takes Abramovich’s parking spot</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/06/ss-delphine-luxury-yacht.html">SS Delphine Luxury Yacht</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/06/bransons-necker-belle-sets-bvi-regatta.html">Branson’s Necker Belle Sets BVI Regatta Record</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/05/londons-sightseeing-boats-get-pre.html">London’s sightseeing boats get pre-Olympic upgrade</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/05/boating-princess-tide.html">Boating: The Princess Tide</a><br /><br /><b>  Save and share Steve Jobs’ Unfinished Feadship Superyacht</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends?

Boating: The Princess Tide

In 2008, the Paris-based conglomerate expanded its maritime presence with the purchase of Princess Yachts, a reputable British builder that is now enjoying a swell of support.<br /><br />Since its acquisition by LVMH, Princess has broached the large-yacht arena—the company debuted a 105-foot model earlier this year—but the 46-year-old yard’s expertise lies in its range of smaller, semicustom production boats. At last October’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Princess unveiled four such models—the 42, V52, V62, and 85 Motor Yacht (each named for their length in feet)—for the American market. Each of the new boats showcases the clean profiles, roomy interiors, deep-V hulls, and large, sweeping windows that have helped Princess rise to prominence in Europe.<br /><br />Princess vessels have been available in North and Central America and the Caribbean for years, but they were branded as Viking Sport Cruisers. (The Viking Sport Cruisers company continues to manage sales, distribution, and service for Princess in the Americas.) These four new models are the first to bear Princess’ crowned insignia in Western waters, and they are at the forefront of the builder’s efforts—and ultimately those of LVMH—to popularize the brand on this side of the pond.<br /><br />The biggest and best of the quartet is the 85 Motor Yacht, which Princess designed with entertainment in mind. The builder can arrange the 85’s capacious main salon, which features windows running the length of the space, in several configurations that are conducive to socializing. A highly functional flybridge affords ample space for sitting, dining, and sunning, and offers an optional hot tub aft.<br /><br />Princess’ V62 forgoes a flybridge for a wave-cutting deep-V hull with a 21-degree dead rise at the transom. Still, the speedy, sport-style yacht has a spacious feel, thanks to a retractable sunroof above the pilothouse and Princess’ heirloom vertical portholes that bathe the areas belowdecks in light.<br /><br />Like the V62, the V52 is a sporty yacht that appears much roomier than it is. The smallest of the new launches, and of the yard’s flybridge models, is the Princess 42, which also makes wise use of its interior space. The boat offers two elegant en-suite staterooms that can accommodate a total of four guests. The flybridge provides significant exterior space, making the yacht an ideal vessel for a family of four to command without a crew.<br /><br />At press time, Princess was scheduled to debut additional new models at the Miami International Boat Show in February. Rumors suggest that the yard will also unveil the first hull in its 130-foot series by year’s end, adding yet another jewel to Princess’—and LVMH’s—crown. <br /><br /><b>Similar Posts:</b><br /><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/05/luxtofair-2011-in-kuala-lumpur.html">Luxtofair 2011 in Kuala Lumpur</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/04/carnival-takes-delivery-of-newest-ship.html">Carnival takes delivery of newest ship</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/04/arabian-fantasy-for-royal-wedding.html">Arabian fantasy for royal wedding</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/04/royal-for-day-londons-luxury-hotels.html">Royal for a day: London’s luxury hotels cash in</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/04/china-opening-up-hainan-island-to-world.html">China opening up Hainan Island to the world</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/03/best-cruise-ships-on-which-to-get.html">The best cruise ships on which to get married</a><br /><br /><b>Save and share Boating: The Princess Tide</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends?
