Nice. I worked on one VERY similar to that. A 125' Willard, the
"Silverado," the first fiberglass megayacht, I believe. The two launches
were 20 ft. Aquasports (Florida) and it had a helo pad and a golden swan
for a bathtub spout. Some folks live another cut above the rest of
us. Last time I saw her she was moored at the Seattle Yacht Club. I'd be
VERY curious to know the builder and history of that boat, Mike, if she's
still there and you're brave enough & have time to ask about her (you just
might get a tour!).
What nation's flag is that? Too much red for Canada. Sure looks like a
Willard, nationality aside.
I'm honestly not sure, but the upper corner makes me think it's a Union
Jack (or somesuch), which in combination with some individualized elements
is still used by some nations, such as Bermuda and Australia (and of course
the United Kingdom!). If the upper corner (I think it's called the
"canton") isn't a UJ, there's still a bunch of countries in the Caribbean
that have a lot of red in the field of the flag -- one of those, perhaps?
