Bon Pigall’s
owner, a patron of the Argo Maris
Foundation, uses his new yacht to research underwater Greek, Phoenician and
Roman archaeological sites. He decided to step up from an 18-meter boat to a
24-meter (79-foot) vessel to utilize the Seaeye Lynx 1500 underwater ROV with
its 450-meter umbilical cable.
The yacht’s salon is finished in burgundy-lacquered wood,
aluminum panels and leather upholstery. She sleeps six guests and two crew in
three ensuite staterooms and an owner’s stateroom forward. The accommodations
are elegant, but the stylist, Victor Tebar, preserved the spirit of a working
vessel.
She was designed by Arquinautic and built of aluminum at Dradisa shipyard in
Vilanova, Spain. Her top speed is 22 knots with a pair of 800-hp Caterpillars.
She cruises at 15 knots. A dedicated three-person main-deck control room houses
all of the ROV and mission-centric operating equipment. Her dynamic positioning
system features include close maneuvering, position holding, heaving to and
robot-following.
