A testimony to experience Lady Christine was built for hugely experienced owners who were intrinsically involved in every step of the project.

2 A testimony to experience Lady Christine was built for hugely experienced owners who were intrinsically involved in every step of the project. Their vital contributions are apparent at every level, from the highly distinctive exterior looks to minor interior details such as door sensors for their dogs. Unbeatable quality formed the basis of the overall briefing and Lady Christine exudes sophistication from every angle. The owners desire to create a split-level layout in order to incorporate a private salon above the wheelhouse has been met in spectacular fashion. The bridge has been moved down a level and the forward part of the deck raised a level to create a complete owners deck, including the observation lounge. The forward sections of the three decks below are also raised, giving Lady Christine, in essence, six decks: The sun deck, including the Key West lounge; raised owners deck; owners deck (featuring stateroom and private aft area) / raised main deck (wheelhouse); main deck (lounge, dining room, bar) / raised lower deck (captain s cabin, crew quarters, ship s office, galley); lower deck (guest area) / raised tank deck (crew mess, crew cabins, cinema); and an expansive tank deck. Within this template for excellence, every area of the yacht has been finished to an astonishing degree of detailing. Lady Christine is an investment in maritime pleasures of every sort, with all forms of entertainment and relaxation catered for. Join us on a tour of this truly exceptional Feadship.

3 sun deck 4 Sun and shade Lady Christine s sun deck typifies her all-purpose, multi-functional approach to life. It serves as an ingeniously arranged helipad, a dining area with multiple cooking options, and a lovely place to relax in the sun or cover the entire area with a giant awning for an inside-out effect. The sliding hatch (right) covers the crew staircase, offering first class service at all times. And the food lift station rises to the flush point on the deck at the press of a button. Once the hatch is open the lift then smoothly ascends to service level. Smart thinking

5 owners deck 5 Private moments A dramatically curving staircase with an intricate curved spine links the sun deck with the owner s aft deck area [5], one of various private havens dedicated to their enjoyment onboard Lady Christine. With a full 180-degree windows ensuring a panoramic outlook, the full beam observation lounge [14] is a sensational place to watch the world go by. As the owners do not envisage entertaining guests here, the two beige coloured sofas are more than sufficient for times of relaxation. Many of the themes that we will find in other public areas are unveiled here, ranging from the motif on the cabinet doors to the Alabaster light fitting

6 Main deck 23 Magnificent marquetry Lady Christine has an elaborate interior, with liberal use of marquetry and inlay work throughout the vessel. Marquetry - the art and craft of covering a structural frame with small pieces of veneer to form decorative patterns, designs or pictures - is most sensationally on view in the entrance to the main deck and owner s deck. Here three large marquetry [23] panels up to 1.9m wide adorn the walls and depict iconic architectural structures. Meanwhile, a spectacular central spiral staircase winds up to the three decks above and down to the cinema below. Decorated with faux ostrich and ultra-suede panels, and burnished with a bronzed steel balustrade, the staircase is made of opulent cherry wood. 12

7 Main deck 18 In the round The main deck lounge [18] is a monument to style, with the most comfortable of circular conversation areas. Sofas are set at the optimum distance for people chatting and fit exactly within the oval shape of the carpet and ceiling. Gorgeous cherry panels with maple inlay are interspersed with six glass columns containing carved glass figurines in a niche. The recessed dome ceiling is one of the largest ever made for a superyacht, and features an endless ebony and maple wave pattern. Creating such a dome also meant pushing the limits of the airco ducting, proving once again the need for expert workmanship in every discipline.

8 main deck Terrace life Entering the full beam bar and dining room [19], the effect of the full-height windows [20] is striking. The sense of wonder increases when these massive glass structures are opened up on both sides and a large platform slides out horizontally from beneath the floor to create terraces to port and starboard. Increasing the beam of the deck to almost 15 metres, the balconies offer lots of space for tables and chairs and are fenced off by stainless steel stanchions

While the furnishings may be minimalist in number, they are anything but simple in their finish.

10 owner s deck 8 Master class The master stateroom [8] has been left uncluttered to embrace all Lady Christine s ample beam. Enormous windows accentuate the open-plan ambience created by fitting only a large bed and sofa/sideboard. While the furnishings may be minimalist in number, they are anything but simple in their finish. The fan-shaped padded silk panel headboard, for instance, is set into the inlay of the panelling and flanked by reconditioned antique silver wall sconces, with shades made of alabaster. The bed head motif is in ebony to contrast with the maple on the doors. And the ceiling dome transforms gradually from an octagonal to a circular shape in a master-class of joinery.

11 owner s deck Studies in excellence The quest for deluxe detailing is taken even further in the two studies located aft of the stateroom. Both his and hers have wonderful views aft and to the sides, with glass doors leading to the large private aft deck. His study [7] is a triumph of flame mahogany and macassar ebony inlays, and features a splendid catamaran desk made of rosewood. Her study [6] showcases a feminine and flamboyant approach, with the main panels being mother of pearl, framed in cherrywood with ebony mouldings and amboyna panels. Delightful criss-cross ebony inlay columns are topped off with a shell capital in gold leaf. 6 7

12 owner s deck 10 Shower power The awe-inspiring owners bathroom [10] is made particularly lovely by the quality of the book-matched cream onyx and its soft mouldings. The vanity unit has a yellow onyx inlaid top and inlaid cherry cabinet doors and curved panels. Mirrors conceal several wall cabinets, while the adjacent glass panels have engraved designs and a silver mirrored backing that gives a glow to the engraved glass. The motifs on the glass are of a mythical antelope, a large-lobed petal design and a contrasting geometric design and triangular chevron frieze.

13 lower deck Guest comforts The lower deck is home to four guest suites, one with twin beds [36] and the other three with doubles, all placed athwartships rather than the traditional fore and aft arrangement. Poplar joinery is the main decorative theme of the suites, and the two forward cabins have walk-in closets. There is a large amount of storage space available in the lobby for suitcases and linen, including under the floor across the entire guest area.

14 lower deck 41 Made to measure Heading aft, on the starboard side is a luxurious cinema [41] for eight decorated with icons of the movie world. The room is exceptionally well insulated, completely enclosed with a steel bulkhead and with double doors through to the mess to ensure that the crew are not disturbed. Comfort of a different kind is assured by the custom seats, first made in mock-up to the specifications of the owners in terms of height and depth. The arm rests can be removed to allow more people to watch the film on a 103-inch screen. An ensuite pantry ensures refreshments for the moviegoers.

15 16 To infinity and beyond The main deck aft includes a good-sized contra-flow swimming pool [16] that the owner finds particularly enjoyable to use. An ingenious infinity pool concept also makes for a spectacular view of Lady Christine s stern. Although it looks as if the swimming water is flowing directly over the edge of the yacht this is not the case (chlorine is not very good for paint). In fact, a specially developed system allows the pool water to wash into a drain while the infinity pool effect is created by jet spray nozzles evenly distributed across the stern.
