Big R

1973

This is Big R

Upon taking delivery of the 35.42-metre Jardell in August 1970, her delighted owner immediately decided to have a larger yacht built. Also built under the name Jardell, she was immediately renamed Big R at her delivery in September 1973. This new 45.00-metre yacht was equipped with the very latest technology, including Vosper stabilizer fins, a bow thruster, and – a first for Feadship – a satellite navigation system.
