Rob Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 Wow - 190k Euros a week. I have been advised this is a Poole Quay Marina, having seen a pic of it my colleague says it looks like a "normal" yacht. But then you get closer and realise how big it is. When a 30ft motor cruiser is the same height as the gunnel - wow! 173ft with 16ft draft, beam 34ft & 1400hp!! 6.2 and 4.5 m ribs inside, sounds fun. I might spin by the Quay later to have a butchers. https://www.burgessyachts.com/en/charter-cat-1/yachts-for-charter/sailing-yachts/drumbeat-00005535.html/ Quote
Mike Fox Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 I saw it the other weekend Rob. It's a little bit awesome Quote
Stuie Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 Wonder if the owner wishes to join the club Quote
Kingfisher 126 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 I have been told it is owned by Bono from U2. You can see where your CD money goes if it is!!!! May be joining the club they fitted a new fish finder on it!!! Because of the size of it they had to use a pilot to bring it in. Quote
gjb Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 I am glad I sold it as it was becoming a problem Quote

Bobby Buoy Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 "I have been told it is owned by Bono from U2 May be joining the club they fitted a new fish finder on it!!!"..... I've heard that even with the new fish finder Bono still hasn't found what he's looking for!!! Kingfisher 126, Jim, fisherman1055 and 1 other 4 Quote
Coddy Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 Saw it today and it looks awesome, the masts are almost as high as the Quay flats behind it! The only problem I see with her is my drinks and board games might move about in a choppy sea or the bath water might slop over the top when under way. Will have to give it a miss this year and book a 1st class cabin on the Queen Victoria instead! Quote
Kingfisher 126 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Posted October 21, 2016 I know who owns the other one for sure, the one in the foreground Smiler off the Pilot boats!! Got some growing up to do!! Quote
Rob Posted October 27, 2016 Author Report Posted October 27, 2016 Went to see her for myself today! Holy moly, the mast towers above the Quay building! Jim 1 Quote
