SKAT’s most striking feature is
the angularity of her exterior surfaces. There are
no curves, save for the forward portion of her shear
line, which sweeps from the bow to about a quarter
of her length aft before melding into her topsides.
High atop the deckhouse, her bridge deck is a
semi-hexagonal fortress with large glass panels
standing proudly beneath a protective brow, slightly
resembling the bunkers that were long ago dug into
the cliffs of Normandy. That same semi-hexagonal
form is echoed in the aft end of the deckhouse, with
her saloon, seating, and entertainment spaces rimmed
by walls of glass.
SKAT presents an almost military bearing, even to
the point of having her Lürssen project number,
9906, painted on the hull in bold battleship-style
block lettering. She abounds with impressive and

Christina O

Christina O was
originally a Canadian naval frigate called the Stormont that was built in 1943. After the end of
the WWII Greek shipowner Aristotle
Onassis purchased her and spent $4
million to convert her into a luxurious yacht and
renamed her Christina.
Celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra
and Eva Peron have sailed on her. She was one of the
most famous society venues of the mid 20th century: John F Kennedy first met Winston Churchill on board
in 1957. In 1998, Christina O undertook a major refurbishment. 560 tons
of steel in the hull, fifty-six
miles of new wiring and 140 tons of pipe work were
replaced. This large task, along with the
refurbishment and redecoration of gathering spaces,
was stunningly accomplished in only 16 months, with
more than 1.2 million man-hours and at a cost of
more than $50 million. It was the most extensive
refit project ever in history.

Earthrace

The Earthrace is a
1080-Horsepower, 78 foot speedboat wavepiercing
trimaran that runs on biodiesel fuel. Designed to
perform at high-speeds in the world's toughest ocean
conditions, Earthrace submarines right through
waves. When a wave is encountered, the hull pierces
through the water rather than riding over the top.
The result is a dramatically smoother ride than
traditional deep-V designs, minimizing stress on the
vessel. Wave piercing allows the boat to cruise
continuously at 40 knots in both flat and rough sea
conditions.
Combine this with environmentally friendly fuel,
Earthrace is one of the most awe-inspiring vessels
the world ever sees. She will soon attempt to break
the world record for circumnavigating the globe
using nothing but biodiesel renewable fuel.
