the Races
A
rguably, the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Monaco is the most
prestigious motor race in the world, attracting well-heeled
fans of every stripe. They arrive by air, land and sea—
including, based on this photo, the toniest superyachts in
the world. Among the giants at the event this past May
were the 390-foot (119-meter) Blohm+Voss motoryacht A, the 468-foot
(142-meter) sailing yacht A and the 511-foot (156-meter) Lürssen Dilbar.
While yachts along the quays that line Port Hercules are a signature fea-
ture of Grand Prix week, it is doubtful that any of these behemoths made
it close with anything other than a tender.edited By andRew t. PaRkinsOn
