Thinking of an upgrade (!)
Don't worry, Farfetched is safe.
However, for tax reasons, a company I am involved with is considering a major chartering / leasing project in Northern Italy. The company is considering buying this beast. I am due to go on her from Ramsgate to Portsmouth on Tuesday. About 5-6 hours cruise.
Will take photos.
30 knots top wack - cruise 23. Never been on a boat like this - never been on a hard boat below the size of the Island Puffin!
Wonder if sea sickness is an issue?

Yes correct see www.azimutyachts.com/gallery_azimut98.htm
I was stunned to find out that on many of the charters in N Italy the boat rarely moves more than a couple or five NM from the berth to a bay or to another little town for lunch. Typical week charters may have a total run of less than 25NM.....
I will find out consumption etc and anything else people want to know!

Nice Boat
shouldn't be cos its a it's a planing craft and it's big so it shouldn't roll to much when you are at rest.

Talking of Italian yachts did anyone hear that a British company has just taken over the biggest - Ferretti - the people who own 9 Italian yacht makers including Pershing and Riva.

Well force 7 / 8 as we got close to Dover meant that is a far as we got! They did not want to 'hurt the boat' since it had not been sold. We had a couple of quite exciting slams as we approched Dover. Water all over the windscreen, which took a while to clear - not comforting. Not really the ideal solution for these seas. Probably wonderful in the Med. Stabilisers worked a treat, but the forward motion of course was still there. Slams were interesting - especially as something came loose in the galley. Felt very isolated vrom the sea in the leather surrounded cockpit!!
Will post some piccies later if they are any good.
