A New Boat Takes To The Water,

I quiet like boats so it was nice to see that the UK has just completed this one,



not small at 96 meters, or cheap at £100million but it certainly looks nice for me, except I have to say it for the bow, which looks a bit too straight/upright, but I am sure the Vava II is perfect for the new owner, Britain's richest woman former Miss UK Kirsty Bertarelli, taking over over two years to build in Plymouth, Devon, it boasts a helipad and six decks, her husband, pharmaceuticals tycoon Mr Bertarelli, 45, has twice won the prestigious America's Cup yacht race, so boating is in the family, he is also worth a reputed £6.8billion, making him the 81st richest man in the world and the fifth richest in the UK,


the yacht, which was built by 200 craftsmen at the Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth, also has opulent guest cabins and four boats to ferry passengers to shore, the exteriors of the Vava II were designed by Hampshire-based specialists Redman Whiteley Dixon while the interiors were styled by Remi Tessier, Managing Director Stephen Hills said the Vava II was 'an absolute credit to the capacity of the South West as a superyacht building location', also Captain Brendan O'Shannassy said of the yacht: 'to have such a ground breaking construction unveiled in Plymouth should make the region justly proud', and me too, I just wish I had the money to order one as well!
