Codename CVY (the C.V. Yacht)

[ombugge]

Didn't know where to put this, so here is another thread.
Would this suite as the CV Yacht?







Don't know what to say about this bow configuration. Could it be a phallus symbol?


Some fancy decoration with no practical usefulness?


And the initials are right, only in wrong order.


This yacht visited Geiranger and Aalesund a few days ago, with the Owner and his body guards on board. Said to have cost abt. USD 90 Mill. to build. Delivered from the yard in Holland earlier this year.

Would that do as a run-about for the CV members?

That one could possibly be the right one, though, not sure about the hull color...

I have always imagined "our yacht" to be having a Norway blue hull.... but that could be easily fixed with a few spray-paint guns.

I think we discussed this with some examples in the old forum "a ship for Jan-Olav", but i could not find it.

In my opinion, the solution is definetly "Kong Olav"!

I would join the trips and refurbishment as often as i could. Maybe Sterkoder shipsyard would be the right place to do this?

[ehp]

Oh, what the heck, guys...let's have BOTH!!!!!

[pilotdane]

I could "slum it" for a few weeks on a yacht like that.

From the "Polarlys"-thread:

From web cam on "Polarlys" we can see "Vibrant Curiosity" on her way to the pier at 18:00

[Asimut]

"Vibrant Curiosity" have been docked for 9 days at Tromsø.This afternoon she departing and set course for Valetta,Malta.

[Sterkoder]

If the yacht on the images above is the common whish for an imaginary CV vessel, so be it. But it will be without me.....
I don't fancy straight forward ugly floating vessels, you know....

[pakarang]

If we should have a modern yacht for our CV members, and since we mostly love the more elegant lines, this could perhaps be a better choice for us?

Currently sailing as the Wedge 2, and commanded by Captain R. Maalen.

[ehp]

Would the captain come with the ship????

If so, whip out that checkbook, ADMIRAL Storli--we've found her!!!!

(and mini-Maalen can be the boss of Maalen!!)

[Sterkoder]

Ok...., that "Wedge 2" is as far as I personally can go in that direction. You know, such yachts are in lack of nice lines, but of course, "Wedge 2" looks a little bit better than that plastic steam-iron further up here....

"Sequoia" (the former U.S. presidential yacht) for instance, is a medium nice creation...

SS DELPHINE is a graceful ship,a really classic one.This could fit as the new ship for CV members don't you agree?
Take look on Chritina O too.

The above mentioned Master, took this fantastic looking vessel into Portofino on Monday, and if you are quick, you can still see her on the Portofino webcam: the largest yacht ever to dock in Portofino!

The evening view promises to be even better!

I was offered a job on board SS Delphine earlier this year, but since my medical was having some hick up's I couldn't run for it...

Great looking yacht indeed.

The Portofino webcam:

These shots really show her true size! The vessel along her starboard side in the last photo looks big enough, but the 'Wedge 2' dwarfs her! And just compare her with the size of the buildings!

Palmer Johnson 267' Expedition "World"

Palmer Johnson is preparing to take on the world with a 267' Ice Class expedition yacht designed by Nuvolari & Lenard, aptly named the "World". Having acquired the Norwegian shipyard Flekkefjord Slipp & Maskinfabrikk’s, who specialized in building complex seismic, research and exploration vessels, PJ has now positioned themselves to build "world" class expedition yachts.

Exemplifying this approach - and specific to the PJ World Yacht - a Rolls Royce UT hull will be optimized to a Diesel-Electric Azipull Propulsion system to facilitate multiple operational parameters. This design is said to reduce the loss of speed in head seas, reduce vibration and keep noise levels in check , while improving the vessel’s maneuverability and control. It also contributes to the vessel’s “Clean Class” notification. Further, improvements in propulsion efficiency reduce the required level of installed power therefore reducing both the running costs and the emission of harmful gases.

The Diesel Electric Propulsion system not only contributes towards the DNV “Clean Class” status, it also allows for greater operational flexibility. The captain can match the number and type of engines that are run to the desired transit speed and on-board hotel load in any set of conditions. The vessel can run with full hotel load at full speed on the main diesels without requiring generators; it can travel at 13 knots on one main engine or at 6 knots on one auxiliary generator set. The vessel can operate on any combination of mains and auxiliaries that match the hotel load and speed at the given time offering optimum controllability.

Exceptional station-keeping capabilities are achieved via Dynamic Positioning on the PJ World allowing the vessel to be “moored” in environmentally sensitive or restricted areas without the traditional use of lines or anchors. Instead, the onboard propulsion system and thrusters work together to control the position by centralized automatic responses to variations in sea conditions. Other features include a certified heli deck, heli hangar, an optional garage designed for a six man Discovery submarine, and a superior Rolls Royce at-rest stabilization system. Security features such as water cannons, forward scanning sonar, thermal imaging, closed circuit television and acoustic shields are also available on this vessel.



One of the first features to be seen on this Superyacht is the novel aft beach house which looks forward onto an outdoor swimming pool deck. Adding to the list of luxuriant features are a fully equipped gym, spa with Hammam, sauna with treatment room, cinema, piano foyer and infirmary.



True to the Palmer Johnson identity, Italian designers Nuvolari-Lenard have ensured the six-deck interior and exterior living areas provide the highest degree of comfort. Focusing on well-being, healthy living and relaxation, large open spaces are emphasized and extensive panoramic sea views create an open environment for ocean voyages.



The owner’s apartment is situated on the fourth, fifth and sixth decks comprising of bedroom suite, walk-in dressing room, separate business and private lounges, office and a Jacuzzi sundeck with 360 degree viewing.



The layout design shows a high consideration to the separation of crew and guests. A maximum crew of 27 can be accommodated according to the General Arrangement of single, double and triple berth cabins. Crew and staff living areas comprise a separate galley, mess two lounges and dedicated gymnasium. Special attention was also given to provisioning of the vessel along with generous dry, refrigerated and frozen storage.



PJ World is destined to be another truly iconic Palmer Johnson design. By providing environmentally friendly solutions that enhance performance while reducing costs and utilizing robust, reliable systems proven in the most extreme North Atlantic Seas - PJ World promises to be a game changing feat of engineering and design excellence.
