Canadian Superyacht Alert! The Spirit of 2010

At the recent Vancouver Boat Show, British Columbia-based Platinum
Marine Services unveiled the Spirit of 2010, its new 36.5-metre
superyacht. The €9 million tri-deck ship features three lounges, five
staterooms and an €150,000 entertainment system that includes a dozen
flat-screen TVs. The large forward lounge has paneled walls, a wet bar
and coffered ceiling all finished in Makore, a rich African mahogany.
Makore was used liberally throughout the craft, giving it an old world
men's club feel – none of that minimalist claptrap here.

Other features include an elegant spiral staircase with a stainless
steel banister, a screening room in the aft lounge, a 900-gallon hot
tub, and frameless oversized windows throughout. The Spirit of 2010
accommodates 12 guests and 6 crew. Naval architect George Roddan
designed her for maximum fuel efficiency without sacrificing
performance, and she has a range of 2,000 nautical miles at 8 – 10
knots. More than enough to get the hell out of Canada, anyway. See you
in Mexico, eh?
