Re: Drop dead gorgeous PØRN

Of course you could always title it "Gorgeous Porn-to-fino Sailing Yacht" given the location of the photos.

I do see 'drop dead gorgeous' everywhere, aside Re:s that were made prior to change of course

Yea it seems to have resolved itself after reloading.

Re: F'ing PØRN !!!!!!!

Carpet on the stairs. Just imagine the horrors one slightly seasick guest could instill on the crew.

Looks to be a removable runner.

If someone were to chum upon it, it would be a simple matter to drag it astern for awhile.

Close to the waterline too, I wonder who gets the job of running around closing them up before the sails go up?

I love the indication of scale in the second image - look at the normal size sailboat in the foreground.

That Charles Nicholson guy did have an eye, didn't he?

ERICA (GBR-57) ex-HECATE (KC-14) ex-ERICA (K-57) is a loverly Charles Nicholson designed 6m, built by Camper & Nicholson in 1938. She was commissioned by Ronald M. Teacher, of Teacher's Scotch Whisky, to compete in the 1938 British-American Team Race Challenge on Long Island Sound (where she got spanked by the US' slate of Sparkman & Stevens designs, including GOOSE (US-81), probably the winningest 6m ever built.)

She was a joy to sail when she was here in Seattle. Great boat. I helped pack her up to ship back to England, where she was properly restored by the Camper & Nicholas Yard in Gosport, England, the yard that built her. She's now one of the more competitive boats (3rd in the 2018 6m Worlds).

I wanted to say she was in the Cinque Terre, but then I realized not. Amalfi coast?

Here’s the Camper Nicholson 40 next to me. I believe about a 1991. It’s plastic of course, but they still make damn nice boats.

Portofino. I had the best mussels in my life at a small floating restaraunt along the boardwalk in the background.

This is simply not true.

I have spent time on a rich man's yacht, on many trips, and he is none of those things in any way -- quite completely the opposite.

He's a very noted philanthropist -- probably because he's smarter than to sponsor that much varnish. (Otherwise there'd be nothing left to philanthropise with.)

Re: Drop dead gorgeous PØRN

It appears to be right where the floating "barge" appears in the third pic, but when I was there 10 years ago, it had a canopy and was looking a little more ship shape. I'll dig around in my pics and see if I can spot a name.
I was staying in Rapallo (more reasonable rates) at the time and went out to Portofino for the day.

Re: Drop dead gorgeous PØRN

I made a stop in Portofino, on my way to La Spezia some years ago.
Even at the beginning of the season, in June, this is the most expansive harbor I ever went in.
They told me the price on the vhf to be sure I knew were I was entering.
My friend Brian said it's more expansive than in VineyardHaven"!
My Véronique insisted, " once in our life"...
I gave in .
I love her.
Very nice place.
Since I anchor a little on east and row in with the dinghy.
Same pleasure at no cost .
