Tim Heywood and Terence Disdale collaborated on this yacht launched in 2008 allegedly for mining billionaire Alberto Bailleres. Bailleres, one of Mexico’s richest entrepreneurs has diversified investments in mining, insurance, retail and commercial real estate, and figures on Forbes’ 2012 list of billionaires with a fortune estimated at 16.5 billion. This yacht has appeared in the Caribbean, the Med and, late in 2011, down under. She was the largest yacht to visit Sydney Harbour and in several harbors in New Zealand where she was for the Rugby World Cup and maintenance work. In all locations, onlookers did not fail to remark on this six-decker’s awesome underwater lights and bottom-hinged side tender doors.
