Abramovich eclipses them all

Said to be the llth richest man in the world, Roman Abramovich already has 3 rather super yachts.

The first, Pelorus, was originally built for a Saudi shekih.  It is used for entertaining and has room for 22 guests and 40 staff.  It also has two helipads, an indoor pool and a steam.

the second, Escsasea, has a Chinese themed interior and is mainly used for cruising.

The third, Sussuro, is used for short journeys and to loan out to friends

Annual overhead for the boats is said to be more than £15million, and it costs £73,000 just to fill up the tanks of his current largest boat.

But hold on to your hats, boys, here comes No.4, the long rumoured and absolutely legendary yacht-to-top-all-yachts . . . . . . .

                                                                       " ECLIPSE "

a 557 footer costing around £300 million.

Doesn't the sight of this baby, unveiled in Hamburg shipyard recently, take your breath away?
And, what do you know, it comes with its own missile defence system.

It's late in London now, and I'm to bed to get my beauty sleep, but Eclipse deserves a bigger and better post to describe all its many wonders. 
So watch out for the next instalment tomorrow.
Until then, Goodnight.
