Technically this:

Oki-doke Richard.. Now I really like to see next quizzzz where in the world you have dreamed to go but haven't yet been..

I´m taking the family to New Zealand on holiday in january, touring both North and South Islands. cant wait.

In terms of teh weird and whacky, I lived in Uzbekistan and drove through Kazakstan and Kyrgyzstan to the western Chinese border. I lived in Turkmenistan and crossed the turkmen desert (which in summer can get as hot as 70 degrees C) when it was covered in snow (spooky...). I took my wife to Iran on holiday 11 years ago - dont say I dont know how to give a girl a good time!

That is quite obvious Richard! She must adore you. Like hell!..



Correct Angelique!



Now the second part:


There is a association to preserve these buildings. (8 are left worldwide)

Who built the first Motoryacht for the Honorary President of this association?
One hint: I believe this lucky boat never left the Mediterranian sea, except once.

[TeddyDiver]

Chairman Javier Cardenal Abaitua
"(Chairman of “El Transpordador de Vizcaya”
Deputy Chairman - Jochem Bolshe
(Member of the Friends of Osten Transporter Bridge, Germany)
Secretary - Carlos Pernault
(Representative of “De la Boca” Transporter Bridge, Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Treasurer - Alan Cohen
(Former Chairman of the Friends of Newport Transporter Bridge)."

"We were to be presented to His Majesty, King Juan Carlos of Spain, who has graciously consented to be the President of this new organisation, The World Association of Transporter Bridges. "

Okay going forward..

Izar..

"But more than that, Staluppi and Rosatti, through their six-year-old Millennium Super Yachts, want to establish a foothold in an area of the megayacht market they believe isn’t being addressed. With the 140, Millennium Super Yachts anticipates providing an owner with a yacht that’s swift even when not at top speed, literally and figuratively bringing opportunities within closer reach, all the while treating him or her to the luxury and lifestyle one expects of a multimillion-dollar yacht.

Befitting her intention, the 140 was devised at lightning speed. At the 2001 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, naval architect Frank Mulder, who’d collaborated with the duo on their previous yachts, handed a magazine article to Staluppi. It was about Fortuna, a 41.3-meter yacht built by Izar in Spain for that country’s King Juan Carlos. The monarch had a penchant for speed—in fact, he reportedly wanted to beat the unofficial speed record of 66.7 knots that the duo nabbed with Moonraker in 1992. Well, the king finally got his wish: in 2000 Fortuna hit 68 knots."

It's harder to find anything about a motoryacht.. He sailing more me thinks.. Got to get to bed... better luck meanwhile if somebody is on the quest

Palmer Johnson (Mike Kelsey Sr.) builder of the first motoryacht (100' Fortuna) for King Juan Carlos of Spain, the Honorary President in question.

Angel

P.S. I guess 100' is not correct!

Palmer Johnson Yachts, Sturgeon Bay, Michigan, USA

Cheers.

edited: congratulations, Angélique! You were faster and posted while I was still searching!

Yepp,

Lucky boat I said. Fortuna!

Your turn Angelique



Teddy was on the right track, but just one yacht too late!

the honorary president:

Your turn Angelique

I'm going off-line for the next four days. So the thread would be dead for that time if I posted the next teaser and not be able to answer. Better someone else take this turn I think.

BTW, about the previous tease...

‘‘MALLORCA NEWS No. 12, Tops & Flops of the week, September 6th to 12th, 1996’’

YACHT FOR SALE



Scares, bad luck, and breakdowns a few ingredients that can exhaust even the patience of a king, as is the case of King Juan Carlos. The yacht Fortuna (see photo) has gone up for sale. After the aged boat (built in '78) failed to meet royal expectations again this summer, having to stay two weeks in dry-dock for an engine breakdown, the proud Borbón has decided to put it up for sale. All serious offers, of no less than US$ 2,500,000, will be well received by any local agency dealing in watercraft, the royal family in Madrid, and also msm - Media Service Mallorca (see below for postal and email addresses). We wish everyone safe passage.

Regards,
Angel

I'm going to be out too, attending METS in Amsterdam. So I can't take the turn either.

Cheers.

Well I think Teddy was close enough to take the turn then!
You may prepare one when you´re back?

To the boat: yes His Royal Highness is now at Nr. 3 (#2 was too big to be accepted by his tax payers)
But there was nothing wrong with Fortunas engines! She had a gas turbine that made fast rides and overhauls a little bit pricey for Joe sixpack.
