FESTIVAL DE CANNES 2009: Cabins on the SAMARKAND

[Christoph Heckenbuecker]

This year I arrived in Lagos Portugal from my trip over the atlantic. We started at the Bermudas. I did it with a great ship from Abeking & Rasmussen. It is a great 50 year old boat, that was build and owned by former IBM-owner Tom Watson Junior. It was designed by the sailing ledgend Olin Stephans and was build without a financial limit. It was sailed by Bobby und J.F. Kennedy and also Marylin Monroe und Grace Kelly were guest on the ship. It is runing 10 to 12 knotes with slow wind and runs like silk. So the name is a wise name: SAMARKAND. You can charter this boat for the next festival season, if you will attend and need a place to stay. It is for up to six people. Dinners & trips to St. Tropez are also possible. I will post some photos later on.

For details please contact me.

Best,
Christoph
