51. MYSTIQUE
| L: 162'4" Y: 1989
Mystique bears
the unmistakable design work of the late Jon Bannenberg, highlighted by
large vertical oval windows. Ellen Tracy sportswear company chairman Herb
Gallen has owned the yacht for the past 13 years and keeps her at New
York's Chelsea Piers during the warmer months. B: Oceanfast, Australia;

52. PRINCESS MARLA
| L: 162'0" Y: 1995
PAX television
honcho "Bud" Paxson has owned this lady for a few years. Being
the media-savvy person he is, he set up a Web site for the yacht, www.princessmarla.tv.
She spent nearly this entire year in the Pacific, specifically New Zealand
for the winter and spring months and Australia for the summer. In fact,
she was docked near Katana (see no. 6) while in Auckland. Her upcoming
itinerary may include the South China Sea, although she will be at the
Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, where she'll be for sale
for $29 million. B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: F. W. De
Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/2,800-hp Caterpillars
53. MICHAELA ROSE
| L: 161'5" Y: 1984
A real-estate developer from Texas has enjoyed many an adventure aboard
Michaela Rose. The yacht has gone around the world twice and made
additional trips up and down both coasts of the United States, through
the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, and in Mexico, to name a few. B: Fr.
Schweers, Germany; N: Builder; H: Steel; E: 2/1,037-hp Deutz-MWMs
54. EVVIVA |
L: 160'10" Y: 1993
Evviva
has been a familiar sight on the West Coast for nearly a decade and is
the prize possession of the founder of a major production boatbuilder.
Curiously, a few times our spies on the coast have noticed equipment being
loaded and unloaded from the yacht; but it didn't appear that things
were being installed. One rumor that could explain it: Evviva is
being used as a platform to test weight distribution for a larger yacht
Westport Shipyard plans to build. B: Admiral Marine Works USA; N: Bill
Garden/Donald Starkey; H: Fiberglass; E: 3/2,480-hp MTUs
55. ATTESSA |
L: 160'6" Y: 1988
No one who cruises
aboard Attessa can ever complain about being bored. First of all,
there are two (yes, two) movie "theaters" onboard (one is
actually on the top deck, when the drop-down screen in the radar arch
is in use), but there's also a killer sound system that'll
have the entire marina rockin', should the desire ever arise. Montana
entrepreneur Dennis Washington, who counts shipping and rail transportation
among his business interests, enjoys cruising aboard Attessa as well as
his 105-foot tug named St. Eval. B: Feadship/Royal Van Lent Shipyard,

56. TELEOST |
L: 160'5" Y: 1998
Sigh; life as
a charter broker really is awfully hard sometimes. The ones who attended
the Genoa charter show last spring were treated to a barbecue onboard
this yacht, whose name also happens to be that of a type of bony fish.
And speaking of fish, Teleost can proudly lay claim to being one
of the few megayachts that's had a marlin dragged into her cockpit.
While this yacht obviously isn't a new-build, she is new to our
list because her previous owners were New Zealanders, who named her Ulysses.

57. GALLANT LADY
| L: 160'0" Y: 2000
"A
boat is a part of you, it says what you stand for, and as such our boats
represent the entire company. A boat is also a piece of art, and this
one is a masterpiece." So says Jim Moran of the second Gallant Lady
on our list (see no. 31 for the first one); it's interesting to
note that this is the first Lady to be built stateside since 1982. An
enormous amount of her four-year design and construction was spent on
the interior, and it shows. A grand marble foyer greets all who step aboard,
and an equally grand staircase whisks them up to the sky lounge. No matter
what room you're in, you have an expansive view to the world outside
thanks to extra-large windows. B: Delta Marine, USA; N: Delta Design Group;
H: Aluminum; E: 2/1,100-hp Caterpillars
58. MI GAEA |
L: 158'3" Y: 1990
The owner of Blue
Moon (see no. 43) previously owned this yacht. "Mi Gaea"
means Mother Earth, or mother of the Titans in Greek mythology. The present
owner has visited Nova Scotia and Belize, among other places. B: Feadship/De
Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel;
E: 2/900-hp Caterpillars
59.
ANSON BELL | L: 156'0" Y: 2002
This yacht's
namesake is actually onboard--or at least a part of her is. HMS
Anson was an English ship that was wrecked off the coast of the UK
in the early 1800's. Her bell was recovered years later, and when
the owner of this new Palmer Johnson acquired it, he was so inspired by
the story that he decided to not only position it center stage in the
main foyer, but also have his yacht set high standards of safety and engineering.
The display niche for the bell combines vertically laminated and finger-jointed
wooden "ribs" reminiscent of the structure of an old wooden
ship hull. Panels that look like scavenged beach glass are behind the
bell, with the story of the ship and the bell itself engraved in them.
(For more details, see "Safe and Secure," in this issue.)

60. ARIA | L:
156'0" Y: 2001
Named for her
owners' love of music, Aria is the largest motoryacht to
be built in New Zealand. In keeping with her name, she has an extensive
audio system and a library containing hundreds of CDs that the owners
and guests can access from the staterooms, saloon, and sky lounge at the
press of a button. B: Sensation New Zealand, New Zealand; N: Builder;
H: Aluminum; E: 2/2,650-hp Caterpillars
