Published in: January 2010 Reviews > Asia's Top 20 Superyachts (Page 5/7)

LADY D 185FT (56.4M)

  • Built: 1978 (refit 2009)
  • Builder: Quality Shipyard
  • Designer: In-house
  • Hull: Steel
  • Power: 2 x Wartsila 1350kW

Purchased in 2008 by an Asian owner and based at Raffles Marina, Lady D began life as a support boat for the oil industry. If ever there was a conversion tale in yachts, this is it. Though converted to be a yacht some years ago, Lady D has recently undergone a major refit with the help of Scott Walker of Asia Pacific Superyachts. Formerly known as Quest, Lady D turned heads during her sea trials in November 2009.

MONTIGNE 187FT (57M)

  • Built: 2009
  • Builder: Aegean Yacht
  • Designer: Yavuz Mete and Tansel Taskiran
  • Hull: Steel
  • Power: 2 x Man 760hp

Montigne is a new Asian-owned superyacht that will be cruising in Malaysia and Thailand for the winter season. Where she heads afterwards, we're not sure yet, but as she fits the double bill of Asia-based ownership and cruising Asian waters, we're pleased to have this beautiful new motorsailor in the ranks. Sporting classic lines, she has all the latest in toys and equipment, with central chartering by Ocean Independence.
