" PHOCEA " |
Phocea was the largest sailing yacht in the world before the 2004 launching of Athena by Royal Huisman. She was built at the Toulon Naval Dockyard in 1976 for the well-reputed, single-handed yachtsman Alain Colas. Shortly after competing in the Observer Single-Handed Trans-Atlantic Race she was converted into the charter yacht "Club Mediteranée In July 1997, Phocea was purchased by Mouna Ayoub and she began her transformation into a sailing yacht at Lurssen. Whilst retaining her unmistakable identity, she has received major interior and exterior upgrading throughout. The interior contains living and accommodation areas with wood panelling, and some furniture by David Linley. The Owner's Suite is situated on the main deck whilst the VIP guest cabin and four other double cabins, all with full ensuite facilities, are located on the lower deck. Nasser Al-Rashid, Mouna Ayoub's ex-husband, partly paid for the $17 million refit of the Phocea, by the sale of "The Mouna", a 112 carat (22.4 g) record-breaking diamond. Phocea crashed into rocks off Sardinia in August 2005 while the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent were aboard. Three people were seriously injured. The yacht was damaged below the waterline Specification Length overall: 246 ft (75.0 m) Beam: 31.43 ft (9.58 m) Draft: 20.47 ft (6.24 m) Number of guests: 12 Number of crew: 15 Built: 1976 by Toulon Naval Dockyard (refit at Lurssen in 1999) Designer: Michel Bigion Engines: 1 x 1,056 horsepower (787 kW) MTU Cruising speed: about 12 knots (22 km/h) under power, 12-18 knots under sail Approximate range: 2,000 NM Fuel consumption: 195 litres (51 US gallons) per hour at 11.5 knots (21.3 km/h) cruising IMO number : 8942797 Name of ship : PHOCEA Call Sign : ZCMP5 Gross tonnage : 504 Type of ship : Passenger Ship Year of build : 1976 Flag : Cayman Islands Ship manager SETE YACHT MANAGEMENT SA 360, Andrea Syngrou Avenue, Athens Greece |
