Oiseau de Feu

St Tropez - 2004 St Tropez - 2004 

Previous name Firebird X and built for Ralph Hawkes. She was restored at the Chantier Labbe, Saint Malo, France from 1989 to 1992.

"This boat is formidable, it is faster than the other boats of its class.  It is very spacious in the cabins and is extremely resilient in stormy weather.  It rights it self even after a very steep Keel. It is a beautifull piece of architecturee i would go as far as to say a floating palace.  I loved this boat like it was myself, it rides the waves like nothing else and is a dream yacht for all paradise seekers.  It took me to paradise around the coast of france to spain and Gibraltar, and i have seen such awesome sights out at sea around islands and coasts that it blows my mind.
Only with such a great yacht would this have been possible, and i am now searching for the beauty i experienced as a result of the building of this fantastic, piece of boat building.  It is the boeing of the sea."
