http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_%28yacht%29 Enigma formerly
ECO and
Katana is one of the world's
largest private
superyachts. According to
Power and Motoryacht magazine, she is owned by
Aidan Barclay, son of the British media tycoon
David Barclay who recently purchased the
Telegraph newspaper. She was sold after her former owner,
Larry Ellison, took delivery of
Rising Sun, the 6th largest private yacht in the world. Measuring slightly more than 244 feet (or around 75 metres), Enigma was launched in 1991 and originally christened ECO by its former owner,
Mexican mogul Emilio Azcárraga, founder and former CEO of
TV and
media conglomerate
Televisa. Enigma is renowned for her design, including a pyramidic
superstructure surrounded by convex windows, and an agile design that enables her to achieve a maximum speed of 28
knots, although some sources quote 30 knots as her top speed. It contains 9 luxurious suites.
She was built by German shipyards
Blohm & Voss.
Mr. Ellison said "It's too big"
