After the excitement of the Tall Ships, it is back to normal in West India Dock with the arrival in the early evening of the Super Yacht SY Christopher.
However there is a connection with the Tall Ships they started in Falmouth before coming to Greenwich, the Christopher was launched in Falmouth in December by Cornish ship builders Pendennis .
The 46m (150ft) ketch was designed by Ron Holland, based on the classic yachts of the past.
The yacht has three staterooms and a study that will provide guests with accommodation for up to 12, with a further four cabins forward, sleeping eight crew.
Specifications:
LOA 46m (150.9ft)
Draft 3.8m (12.5ft keel up) 9.4m (31ft keel down)
Beam 9.5m (31.2ft
The yacht has recently been in Scandinavia and as usual with Super Yachts little is known about the owner or its future plans .
