Montigne YachtThe spectacular SY Montigne was purchased by an Asian businessman, who has brought the dragon-style of his new build to Southeast Asia for luxury charter.
The Albanian coastline is engulfed in mist, offering it a nearly scary feel that merely contributes to the secrecy that encircled the country for such a long time. The wind is unfortunately absent and the three, tall, elegant masts of Montigne, our 57-meter yacht, stay straight, but look unwelcoming without the sails. We steer our way close to the top of the Greek island of Corfu and pass by the outlying islands of Erikoussa, Mathraki and Othoni. Then departing Matraki to port, we motor southeastwards along the western shoreline of the island.
Next, the breeze gets stronger and Captain Richard Felton orders the sails unfurled. The fully-battened mizzen flies first, then the two furling mainsails, and then all three headsails. With six sails set in place, the engines are turned off. Unexpectedly, we are at one with nature. The skies are crystal clear, and the Ionian Sea yields a strong azure blue, topped with creamy crests. The wind quickly fills our sails - this is luxurious yachting as it was supposed to be.
Montigne was constructed by Turkish yard Aegean Yachts, for a skilled yacht owner who originates from Southeast Asia. She is the well-executed fruits of the several ideas and happenings the owner has experienced when sailing in his other yachts. Her very custom-made inside demonstrates the owner's individual style and concepts, while the spaciousness of the guest zones, a little something unusual in a sailing yacht, are evidently valued by an owner's whose previous boat was a large motor yacht.
Onward, sheltering beneath the remarkably long bowsprit, are the smiling traits of a huge dragon, which presages the yacht's stately progress thru the water. In the event yo umiss the dragon in the bow, approach Montigne from the aft end and you'll see two more carved dragons snuggle around the yacht's stern, its beautiful counter designed in a style that typifies yachts built in Bodrum.
Years ago, Chinese businessmen frequently used a sailing ship as their company logo because it represented winds delivering more business, more trade and as a result more revenue. Today, following the dragon, the sailing ship continues to be the most used sign for business and career success in Asian culture while dragon-headed sailing ships have come to be a blend of two success symbols. While they become more powerful and widen yang energy round the area, it carries positive karma for all aims even individual success. Montigne undoubtedly delivers the two symbols jointly in one gorgeous yacht.
