I'm back down at Belfast Harbour Marina to film any boat or yacht that takes my fancy. This is the superb Gentle Annie which is listed as a pleasure craft. I am completely ignorant about all things to do with boats and ships so she simply looks to me like a beautiful large cabin cruiser. Anyway she is very welcome and a pleasure to look at. I have found out from my mate Brendan that the F -Fleming stands for Fleming luxury boat Builders Costa Mesa, CA 92627 USA These Fleming Motor yachts are the last word in comfort luxury travel and naturally you pay for what you get. New boats can be £2 million and depending on age and mileage covered etc go down to £400,000. I have now found out from Youtube poster Fred Scribner that this is in fact a Fleming 65! Overview The Fleming 65 was introduced in mid 2005 in response to a strong demand for an intermediate Fleming between the 55 and the 75. Her layout is very similar in concept to the 55 but the 65, being around 70% larger in displacement, offers much more interior and deck space than her smaller sibling. In 2009 Tony Fleming took delivery of his new 65, VENTURE II, in Southampton, UK. This vessel incorporates a variety of design refinements. Thanks to Tony's extensive testing and evaluation of these refinements, several new items are now available on production models. We are very proud that a panel of thirteen judges from the Internationally respected 'Yachts' magazine voted the Fleming 65 best yacht in her class, worldwide, for 2006. Tony Fleming and his daughter Nicky, went to Cannes to receive the trophy. As of October 2014, 37 Fleming 65's have been built at the highly regarded Tung Hwa yard in Taiwan, which has built every Fleming yacht since they were introduced in 1985.

Who knows.
