With a length
of 105 m the private superyacht Lady Moura is the
result of four years of teamwork between the Italian
designer and architect Luigi Sturchio and Blohm +
Voss. Both the interior and exterior design
was conceived by Luigi Sturchio, whereas Blohm +
Voss was responsible for engineering. Costing
$210 million to build, Lady Moura is the
second most expensive yacht to date, after the
massive Dubai which cost $350 to build in 2008.
A crafty
hydraulically-operated system of shell ports, doors,
flaps, roofs, bath platforms, gangways and cranes
provide the most possible ease of operation and comfort.
Even the boats, anchors, life rafts and navigation
lanterns are hidden behind covers and do not disturb the
aesthetics of the yacht. Both the name and the
escutcheon that can be seen at port, starboard and at
Stern are carved in 24 carat gold.
Lady Moura was
pronounced the 11th largest private yacht in the year
2006 (two places after the Pelorus.) Her cruise
speed is over 20 knots and maximum speed 36 knots.
She is owned by Nasser Al-Rashid, a multi-millionaire
businessman in Saudi Arabia.
