Amongst the 22 superyachts illustrated in this 9th volume of The Superyachts, there is one yacht that is quite different in character to any other, and indeed, any other that has ever been featured in the 9 year history of the publication. In looks, quality of construction and performance, this yacht, the Lady M, more than holds her own against her peers, but on boarding her, there is one outstanding contrast - she has absolutely no provision for a professional crew. Such a yacht allows us to explore the advantages and disadvantages of a crewless yacht. In addition to Lady M, this 9th volume brings to you a further selection of 21 superlative vessels, a number which includes another 'first' - a single article on two yachts Bonita and Teeth. They are combined in one feature as they are identical yachts that were built simulataneously alongside each other, an interesting combination. Of the 19 remaining yachts, 7 are super-sailers of particularly high quality and sophistication, whilst the 12 motor yachts range from the totally splendid to the absolutely magnificent. Yachts featured in this book: Adela; Ambrosia; Applause; Bonita & Teeth; CV9; Hetairos; Krisha; Lady Anne; Lady M; Lady Tiffany; Nanzenin III; Oktana; Passe Partout; Rasselas; Simson S; Sovereign; Teel; Victory Lane; White Rabbit; Xasteria; Xenia
