America's 100 Largest Yachts 2007 #20: Rasselas

By Diane M. Byrne

#20: RASSELAS—203'4"

Seen in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, over the summer, Rasselas looks much like her same-named, smaller (by about 30 feet) predecessor, right down to certain furnishings. But her level of engineering is decidedly higher, ranging from the night-vision camera on her foremast to her central-air system. Her owner, Kenneth Rainin, who developed scientific instruments and donated to multiple medical-research causes, worked closely with Feadship to ensure all of this. Sadly he died last spring.

INTERACTIVE DECK PLANS

The fireplace in the saloon create a club-like feel. To prevent dining guests from being disturbed, a service passageway for the crew runs one deck below. The cambered overheads, deep windows, cut-glass light domes, and gimbaled wall lamps (designed by the owner) enhance the atmosphere. The aft main-deck alfresco area enjoys sun and wind protection thanks to glass doors and extendable awnings.
