lady linda yacht

LADY LINDA is the personification of truly elegant cruising. Fast, smooth, and steady, this 124-foot semi-displacement composite yacht features many design and engineering elements for which Delta is renowned, including vast deck spaces, unmatched seaworthiness, and quality construction.

The Delta craftsmen worked closely with the owners’ design team to deliver her creative interior design, a combination of classic yacht styling and art deco. Subdued soft furnishings emphasize the rich cherry and maple burl veneers, gilt and polished metals, and fine glasswork. Everywhere you look, one thing is clear: in her interior and outdoor spaces, she is an enchanting hostess for travel and adventure. She’s suitably elegant and finely equipped for maximum pleasure, whether it’s splashing in the waves or enjoying cocktails under the stars.

Particularly notable on LADY LINDA are the exquisite marble and stonework, exotic woodwork, and decorative motifs evident throughout her indoor and outdoor spaces. Delta’s fastidious attention to detail and thoroughness can be witnessed from the open-air sun deck to the crew quarters.

An immensely efficient vessel, LADY LINDA’S exterior styling complements her lavish interior. Here, as elsewhere, Delta’s commitment to building the most advanced and seaworthy vessels, combined with design aesthetics and exceptional engineering, produced a singularly luxurious yacht.

The Heartbreak of a $40 Million Yacht

By Steven Kurutz

• Feb. 27, 2013

G. Bruce Knecht considers his new book, “Grand Ambition” (Simon & Schuster, $27), to be a water-based companion to Tracy Kidder’s “House.” Like that classic work of nonfiction, “Grand Ambition” focuses on all the aspects of building, and all the people involved, only instead of a house the subject is a $40 million yacht called Lady Linda.

“With a yacht, the backgrounds are so much more disparate,” said Mr. Knecht, from the billionaire owner to the pipe fitters to the onboard staff. “You’re not just talking about the top 1 percent, but the top, top 1 percent. At the same time, I also write about an illegal immigrant from Honduras working for 10 bucks an hour.”

Doug Von Allmen, the private equity investor who commissioned Lady Linda, had the outsize desire to create the best American-built yacht in history and the terrible timing to begin a year before the 2008 financial crisis. In sympathetic prose, Mr. Knecht chronicles the yacht’s complex nuts-and-bolts construction, as well as the larger financial and interpersonal dramas that threatened its completion.

Mr. Knecht, a New York-based author who sails in his spare time, spoke to a reporter about the ostentatious world of yacht design and why even billionaires feel the pinch.

Q. Given the money involved, it’s interesting that Doug Von Allmen likens yachts to a mobile home.

A. He told me: “Some people have houses in the mountains, some have houses on the beach. I like the idea that if I don’t like the scenery I can move.”

These yachts can go anywhere in the world. They have freezers with enough food that you could survive for months. But they often go the same places everyone else goes: the Mediterranean in summer, St. Barts at New Years, runs up the East Coast in June. The owners sometimes act like they’re moving to a series of mobile home parks.

Q. How is yacht design different from designing a home?

A. Yachts are different than homes in the sense that people who live in grand apartments are O.K. with plaster walls or wood floors. On yachts, everything has to be extraordinary. The walls are wood paneling, and not just any wood but exotic burl wood. The floors are going to be made of marble and onyx. The person who designs a boat like this is going to be comfortable in the rarefied and exotic.

Q. What about the furniture?

A. Every piece of furniture is custom designed. Nothing comes out of a furniture store. And there won’t be one kind of wood in a table or a cabinet, there will be half a dozen. It took 50 hours of labor to build an interior door on the Lady Linda.

Q. Have yachts always been so opulent?

A. A hundred years ago, James Gordon Bennett Jr., the publisher of The New York Herald, carried a cow on his yacht because he wanted to always have fresh milk. On Aristotle Onassis’ yacht, the pool went up and down so the bottom of the pool became the dance floor. Onassis also used the foreskin of whales to cover the barstools, and of course he would enjoy telling his guests.

Q. And yet writing about the 2008 financial crisis, you almost make us feel bad for yacht owners.

A. Von Allmen suffered in the same way as everyone else in the sense that the fixed costs of his lifestyle were static but his wealth and income declined. In his case, his fixed costs were extraordinary. Operating and maintaining a yacht is at least 10 percent of what the thing cost. So in the case of Lady Linda, the operating cost per year is $4 million.

Q. Is Lady Linda the best American-built yacht?

A. In the end, the final product was pretty close to what was designed just before the economic crisis. But Von Allmens’s passion for creating the best yacht ever built in the U.S. waned when he suffered through the 2008 economic crisis and lost $100 million in a Ponzi scheme. He was worn down by the process.

On the other hand, the Lady Linda has proven popular as a yacht that people charter. People are paying half a million dollars a week to charter it.

Mocka Jumbies and Rum...

Editor’s Note: This is the first of an ongoing series about boat builders in the Southeast. We will be featuring everything from runabouts and dinghies to mega yachts and mass market cruising vessels, all built right here in our local boat yards.

Soon after it was delivered to its owners, Trinity Yachts ’ latest superyacht. Lady Linda , crossed the Atlantic to ply the clear waters of the Mediterranean before making her debut at the Sept. 19-22 Monaco Yacht Show .

A Caribbean Legacy: Wooden Sailing Workboats

While Trinity has had to supplement its custom yacht business with commercial and military vessel construction during the recession, there are still loyal pleasure craft customers keeping their yards in New Orleans and Gulfport, Miss., busy with refits and new construction. Still, it has a ways to go to return to its 2006 level when the company was the largest superyacht builder in the world based upon linear feet under construction.

Avast, Ye Salty Dawgs!

Lady Linda is the third Trinity Yacht built for a Florida couple. Among their design specifications for their latest purchase was a shallow draft to enable them to berth the vessel behind their home as well as to handle the skinny waters of the Bahamas where Lady Linda will be available for charter in the winter months. During the summer months, she is available for charters in the Mediterranean.

To achieve an 8-foot draft, Trinity’s naval architect designed a 33-foot beam. The exquisite 187-foot, three-deck, aluminum vessel features luxurious contemporary accommodations by celebrated interior designer Evan Marshall of London .

Eight Bells – Salty Dawg Rally Co-Founder, Linda Knowles

Lady Linda ’s forward main deck full-width king master suite features his and her showers, a Jacuzzi, and a large owner’s office. There is a half-beam gym aft of the pilothouse, which – with Trinity’s design ingenuity – converts into a fifth guest cabin. The four half-beam, equally-sized guest staterooms located amidships below all feature sea view vistas. The main deck includes an elegant entrance foyer and socializing space in the main and dining salons.

Advanced electronics include auto lifting television systems, total surround sound and networked computer equipment with uninterrupted power sources. The air conditioned aft exterior deck on the pilothouse level provides abundant space with a full-beam skylounge. The unique Trinity sundeck is outfitted with floor-to-ceiling glass doors to deflect wind and features a large bar and a hot tub. It is “touch and go” heli-ready and is equipped with a davit suitable for rescue tender, jet skis and water toys.

Collaboration between the owners, owners’ rep Ingo Pfotenhauer, builder and interior designer created a truly custom yacht built to exacting specification.

Don't Miss a Beat!

Stay in the loop with the Caribbean
