To be clear, Thomas Pink does make pink shirts. In some ways these have become a signature for the brand: today it has an ongoing art project called Portraits in Pink in which it sends a pink shirt to a photographer somewhere in the world and asks them to shoot it in any way they see fit. So that's why, in the label's flagship Jerniyn Street store, you can find images of an American cowboy wearing Pink's pink shirt, as well as a handsome Neapolitan in one too. As yet there is no image staged on a yacht, but it's surely only a matter of time. “A beautifully tailored shirt is a statement that the wearer appreciates style and quality” The series of photos underscores Thomas Pink's commitment to individualism…

OWNERS’ CLUB ON BOARD WITH Some yacht ownership love stories are passionate flings lasting a few years until it's on to bigger and better boats; others stand the test of time. The story of Kathleen Anne and her owner Alasdair Locke is the latter: he's stayed true to the 39-metre Feadship for nearly 15 years. Even longer than his steadfast ownership of Kathleen Anne is his vast experience in the shipping and oil services sector. From his early career in investment banking to founding multiple oil-related companies, he has been a pioneer in his field for 50 years. Accolades in his career include being named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 1999 and Grampian Industrialist of the Year in 2001, and he received the International Business Achievement Award from…

I'm just back from the races here in Cape Town where Marie's horse, Kyalami Girl, streaked away at the final furlong to win its race. This was off the back of an amazing few days taking photos of these incredible animals at a lodge in South Africa's Tiger Canyon. I love life down here. The climate is perfect and the lifestyle is all about the outdoors, especially at Tiger Canyon. The reserve these tigers live on is vast - 6,100 hectares - and they don't feed them. If the tigers want to eat, they've got to go and catch their dinner. The guide we had was fantastic in the way she could track these tigers and getus up close to them. At one point a huge tiger walked right up…

Global interest in luxury watches has grown beofyond recognition since the turn of the sentury. The new millennium has opened the door on a true horological renaissance that has seen numerous dormant dial names come back to life, and as many new ones arrive from nowhere. And anyone who remembers the watch world of the early 2000s will also remember the plethora of truly far-out watches in that period. They were created by brands eager to outdo their rivals at a time when the aim was to be as big, brash, bold and expensive as possible. Today, case sizes are diminishing, simplicity is to the fore and show-off timepieces are out. Back then, however, it was all about storytelling and creating watches that people would talk about – and one…

BOAT LIFE Set in the mountains just outside Palma, Son Vida is Mallorca's answer to Beverly Hills, with luxurious villas surrounded by sun-drenched gardens with views of the Mediterranean. Buying into this rarefied enclave, just six kilometres front the city centre, costs a minimum of €8 million (£6.8m). But despite its high entry price, Iris Griinewald, managing director of Balearic Properties, Savills’ associate on Mallorca, estimates that prices have increased by around io per cent in 2023, with more growth expected this year. While many of the world's prime locations are struggling to cope with multiple political and economic headwinds, the party across Spain's Balearic Islands shows no sign of stopping. “Buyers come for the scenery and the weather, which are both beautiful, for the really good infrastructure and because…

“All I could do was fess up – and ask for help to remove the stains” If you want to really impress a Tinder date, show them around your supeiyacht - or that was my tactic as a newbie deckhand until a few years ago, when it spectacularly backfired. The captain was away for the night, so I sneaked my love interest on board behind the chief stew's back, and spent an hour or so creeping around, taking her on a tour before cosying up in the cinema room with some drinks. She ended up staying the night - all completely against the rules, but I'm ashamed to say that there were other, more pressing, things on my mind at the time. I thought I was being clever; I thought…

If there's one fictional character who has glamorised tech, toys and tenders more than any other, it's James Bond. The Legendary spy has torn up the Thames on a triple-engined Sunseeker Superhawk 43, sought out stolen nuclear warheads using a Breitling Chronometer watch with a built-in Geiger counter, and whipped out an arsenal of secondary functions from modified cigarette lighters (radio transmitter, microfilm reader, bomb…). Gadgets are the fun, and sometimes funny, dimention of the movies(see the wetsuit with a fake seagull on top and perfume bottle flamethower). The fashions and actors may change, but every Bond will stop by Q's workshop to pick up the latest gizmo and a sports car with lethal modificaqtions. Among the most memorable is the submarine for Roger Moore's third Bond outing, The spy…

As Sir Ben Ainslie hands the Emirates GBR SailGP Team helm to Giles Scott, he reflects on his time with the team and looks forward to a successful AC37 My decision to step back from the M driver Britain er spot SailGP for the Team Emirates was a tough Great one, but it's undoubtedly the right thing to do. My time has become very stretched; I'm the CEO of both Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team and the INEOS Britannia America's Cup Team and, most importantly, I'm a husband and father. At some point you've got to realise that you can't do everything. I've loved every minute of SailGP. We've had some great moments and some challenging moments, but it's the best sailing I've ever done in my career – it's…

It will be 101 years ago this April I the that just-launched journalist HD Br Teague ough-Superior described SS80 as “the Rolls-Royce of motorcycles”, demonstrating its effortless performance and top-quality engineering. Almost a century later, the Brough-Superior name did end up being associated with a prestigious car marque – but it wasn't Rolls-Royce. It was Aston Martin. The now-France-based bike builder teamed up with Aston back in 2019 to create a suitably highend motorcycle called the AMB 001, which was joined last year by a “Pro” version. The standard model costs around £96,000, with the higherspecification Pro being almost 40 per cent more. But the chances are that neither type will clock-up much mileage because such machines will most likely be used only on high days and holidays, or they…

Andy Scott Yacht: Elton Length: 31.7m Year: 1992 Location: Portsmouth How do you get your yachting fix in winter? I'm having to do some work in the UK this winter on a big deal for our transport companies, but the plan is to take Elton XX, my 20-metre classic, to the Caribbean this year to do the regattas in Antigua, St Maartin and eventually the St Barths Bucket in 2025. She's currently out of the water, having her 62-yearold hull checked out to make sure she's still floating in another 60 years. She's often described as the most beautiful Sangermani ever built How's the 2024 charter season looking? Elton charters out at €35,000 per week, and that lower end of the superyacht market tends to fill up at the last…

When the owners of the first Swan 108, Fancy, sat down to think about their ideal yacht, they started by writing a list of everything that frustrated them about their past sailing boats. Fancy‘s owners, Alexandre and Nathalie Nicaise, don't seem the types to dwell on negativity. But as avid sailors and long-time owners of smaller boats, they are experienced enough to know the truth: “On each boat, you will undoubtedly have some frustrations,” says Alexandre. “So we listed all of our frustrations, and said ‘We have to fix this one, we have to fix that one.’” The list became the basis for their brief. There were design challenges to solve, such as the fact that the Nicaises are a very tall family requiring suitable headroom inside, yet they wanted…
