Eric Clapton's Yacht -Va Bene
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
Va Bene was designed by Richard Hein and built by Kees Cornelissen, a Dutch luxury yacht building company, in 1992. Va Bene is 48 meters long (127 feet) and is powered by two 1,750 HP Caterpillar engines.
As the story goes, Clapton chartered Va Bene for a Mediterranean cruise with his friends in 2005. He liked the yacht so much that he purchased it for £9 million (about $12.5 million at today’s exchange rate). Clapton had it refitted in 2007-2008 at Pendennis Shipyard in Falmouth, Cornwall.
