Just back from Barcelona

[buddy]

When we were there we had a walk round the harbour.I swear I havent seen a private yacht the size of this one.It was sealed off and cctv the works.However I cant speak spanish and the Catalans are reluctant to speak English (quite right).I did determine however it belonged to someone called Barcos or maybe even Barkos and he was prob there for the footie.Anyone heard of him?I know I am a nosey thing and please no AB monitors telling me its in the wrong section!!!Ta!

Don't know of any footballer by that name but barcos means boats in Spanish.

lol  Sorry buddy, but seeing the previous answer made me laugh after a miserable day :)

[Octavius]

Thats is quite funny, quite helpful of those blinking spaniards telling you that it was a boat!!

It doesn't necessarily have to be owned by someone famous does it ?  Well anyway, maybe it was the Pelorus owned by Roman Abramovich, pictures here might help: http://www.yachtspotter.com/ycard.php?foo=20030208

What a divvy-glad I gave you all a laugh tho!

Serves me right for being a nosey cow.

Think I'll give up now!

Thanks for answers.

Thanks Octavius for your info-found the yacht-called Sarah - and it is indeed berthed in Barcelona Harbour.

Phweh-can now sleep tonight-still dont know who owns it but its prob a charter or something.

[Octavius]

This could be the Sarah as owned by Prince Turki of Suadi Arabia.

Prince Turki's influence comes from being a son-in-law of the Saudi defence minister, Prince Sultan, one of the clan of brothers who run the oil state.

He has nearly 200 classic cars, a �20m private Boeing business jet, a large yacht called the Sarah, a sumptuous mansion in Beverly Hills and houses in Barcelona, Riyadh, Dharan and London. His London home is in Sussex Square, near Hyde Park.

Hey guys - I live amongst the Catalan people and they were probably not being helpful when they pointed out it was a boat probably more sarcastic - life's like that!!
