EOS Brings Glamour to Dartmouth Again
EOS Brings Glamour to Dartmouth Again
Dartmouth was again graced by Eos one of the world’s most expensive and largest privately-owned sailing vessels.
The three-masted ship pulled in to the port on October 25th and drew admiring glances until she sailed away. Owned by Billionaire film-producer and internet mogul Barry Diller, the yacht is the very definition of ‘luxury afloat’.
The 92metre long sail yacht has a draft of 5.5m, a gross tonnage of 1,500, and can cruise at 16knots. She was launched in 2006 by Lurssen Yachts of Bremen and was designed by Langan Design Associates. She can hold 16 guests, all living in conspicuous luxury and has a permanent crew of up to 21 sailors.
Her glamour, as it has done on its previous visits, has attracted scores of admirers to the port, and town bosses are hoping she visits again soon.
