New Sunseeker Superyacht BLUSH Delivered to Eddie Jordan

By Editorial Team   27 March 2014

The official delivery of Eddie Jordan’s striking new motor yacht BLUSH took place this week in Poole, prior to her maiden voyage to Monaco.

The new Sunseeker 155 flagship tri-deck motor yacht was finally delivered following years of hard work from the shipyard. The press launch of charter yacht BLUSH took place in Poole with her new owner, Formula One tycoon Eddie Jordan, at her side.

The biggest project ever to be undertaken by the British-based shipyard, superyacht BLUSH boasts contemporary interior and exterior styling. Providing impressive accommodation for up to 12 charter guests in addition to 10 crew members, she features a formal dining area with side patio doors and balconies for uninterrupted ocean views. Designed to stand out from the crowd, she has a unique interior design of greys, blues and greens.

BLUSH has an unfathomable number of features and amenities on board. With her own night club, board room, full-length bar and five ensuite double staterooms, she is well worth the massive £32million spent on her build. Spanning three decks, Eddie Jordan received the keys for his new vessel on Monday and opened the doors to give a grand tour.

Jordan now has plans to travel on board to BLUSH to Monaco where he owns a home. She is expected to arrive there in time for the Monaco Grand Prix at the end of May.

Superyacht BLUSH is available on the charter market for £1million per month, in addition to being available for weekly charters. Her popularity has already been established due to the fact that she is allegedly fully booked for three months.

On board £32million Sunseeker superyacht built for Eddie Jordan

At the time it was Poole-based Sunseeker's biggest and most advanced yacht ever

• 05:00, 26 JUN 2022

Superyachts have had bad press recently. Seven of the absurdly opulent vessels owned by Russians linked to president Vladimir Putin had been seized as of May, with critics calling them outrageous displays of excessive wealth.

But these floating villages – with their hot tubs, humidors and helipads – each employ a small army (or rather, navy) of staff, with dozens recruited as pilots, captains, sailors, chefs, bartenders, cleaners, entertainers, security officers and more.

The extravagant vessels are also a boon for Dorset, with world renowned manufacturers Sunseeker International based right here in Poole. Founded as Poole Powerboats in 1969 the business now employs around 2,600 people worldwide – many of them within the county.

Multi-million-pound Sunseeker ships have appeared in several James Bond movies including The World is Not Enough (1999), Die Another Day (2002), Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace (2008) – in which co-founder Robert Braithwaite had a cameo role.

One of the firm’s largest and most luxurious ships, the Sunseeker 155, was owned by F1 racing tycoon Eddie Jordan until 2017. Named “Blush”, the monstrous vessel cost over £12 million and had a crew of ten, plus space for ten guests.

Scroll down for more fascinating (one might say infuriating) facts about this magnificent mega-vessel, which was the biggest and most advanced yacht ever to come out of the Poole-based shipworks.

It is 155 feet long

While the rest of Europe has long since gone metric, the yachtbuilding industry still measures things in feet. The enormous Sunseeker 155 was so called because it measured a staggering 155 feet (or 45 metres) from bow to stern.

For comparison, this is about as long as the Arc de Triomphe is high, or half as tall as the Westminster clock tower housing Big Ben. you could alos think of it as around half the length of a football pitch – or two-and-a-half times the length of a cricket pitch, if you prefer.

Its amenities rival those of a high-end hotel

The Sunseeker 155’s onboard features include a nightclub and a parking garage for jet skis as well as opulent dining rooms, lounges, bars, viewing decks, jacuzzis, bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. The vessel can carry a reported 60,000 litres of fuel, giving it an estimate range of 4,000 miles, while its twin V16 engines can generate a top speed of over 22 knots (25mph).

It cost the F1 tycoon around £32 million

As the old adage goes, “If you have to ask what it costs, you can’t afford it”. The Sunseeker website does not list prices for its models – estimates are provided only on application, and these can vary wildly depending on the specifications required.

But Jordan paid a reported £32 million for his Sunseeker 155, and that was in 2014 money. If this price tag seems a little steep, never fear: if you’re willing to go a bit smaller and buy used, a 2012 Sunseeker can be had for just under £13 million .

The running costs are eyewatering

Jordan sold his Sunseeker 155, named Blush, in 2017. He told Boat International that his busy schedule meant he could only spend two weeks a year on it, and that he wanted something smaller for his grandchildren.

But it could also be that he was sick of forking out an estimated £1.2 million per year in running costs including fuel, dockage, maintenance, insurance and crew salaries. That said, he did rent it out as a charter vessel when not cruising the world on it.

The name Blush lives on

Although Jordan sold his Sunseeker 155, he still owns a boat called Blush. This is a 45-metre-long sailing yacht built in 2007 by Perini Navi, a luxury shipyard which has been based in Tuscany, Italy since 1983.

The motorsport mogul now plans to sail the fjords of Norway , the Suez canal and the Northwest Passage – the sea route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans which claimed the lives of many an explorer seeking quicker routes to the Far East.

The current owners are unknown

Jordan told Boat International that he had sold his pride and joy to “a nice American family” who had previously chartered the vessel and liked it so much that they just had to own it.

Likewise, the owners of a second Sunseeker 155 christened Princess AVK, produced at Poole in 2016, have not been publicly disclosed. It is thought that they come from the United Arab Emirates – and although it looks like they might be selling on , too.

While some, like Jordan, are happy to tell everyone about their seafaring adventures aboard Dorset’s biggest and most expensive yacht, it seems that others prefer to cruise the world’s oceans in peace.

Blush: Eddie Jordan's 45.3m Perini Navi sailing yacht for sale

Owned by Formula One's Eddie Jordan, the 45.3 metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Blush has been listed for sale by Alex Lees-Buckley at Camper & Nicholsons .

Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure by Italian yard Perini Navi , Blush was penned by Ron Holland . Her interiors sleep up to 12 guests in a flexible four or five cabins arrangement, with a variety of berth configurations on this yacht for sale .

With naval architecture developed by the yard, the yacht was acoustically engineered in order to keep her quiet in all areas of operation.

Meticulously maintained since launching in 2007, Blush most recently underwent an extensive €1.8M refit from which she emerged earlier this year (2022), with upgrades applied to her interiors and striking Merlot red exterior.

Blush boasts expansive deck space and a large flybridge that offers al fresco dining, alongside aft sun pads and a sheltered cockpit.

Moving inside, guests are treated to plush carpets running throughout and a light colour palette complementing the mahogany panelling and cabinetry.

Split into three main sections, Blush ’s main saloon comprises a bar area, lounge seating and a formal dining table. From the saloon, glass doors open onto the main deck aft which features an al fresco dining area while portside stairs lead up to the flybridge.

When under power, a single Caterpillar C-32 diesel engine allows her to reach a top speed of 13.5 knots, with a range of 4,100 nautical miles at 10.5 knots.

Blush is asking €12,495,000.

‘Forbidden Broadway’ Review: Let Them Somewhat Entertain You

From its perch way Off Broadway, the long-running satire slings its affectionate arrows at Patti, Audra and the rest.

• Share full article

By Jesse Green

At its best, topical satire, which is what the “Forbidden Broadway” franchise has been slinging for 42 years, is both timely and well targeted. The timeliness means that audience members know the material being ribbed; the targeting makes sure they know why.

Admittedly, timeliness is a vague concept when your subject is Broadway, where the targets recur at regular intervals. It’s thus not a big problem that many of the songs in the show’s latest edition — which opened on Thursday at Theater 555 in the far west reaches of Hell’s Kitchen — send up musicals and performers that Gerard Alessandrini, who created, writes and directs the series, has sent up before.

But the targeting in this outing, subtitled “Merrily We Stole a Song” in a nod to the flood of Sondheim revivals, including “Merrily We Roll Along,” is too often hazy. The opening number, repurposing “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” from “Guys and Dolls” as “Sit Down, You’re Blocking the Aisle,” feels like a title that went looking for a topic. (It’s about rude patrons.) A segment about the upcoming “Gypsy” revival posits the unlikely idea that Audra McDonald is haunted by the ghosts of previous Roses. (“Merman’s gotta let go!”) Having to admit that Lincoln Center’s revival of “South Pacific” was terrific (even if its “Camelot” was “horrific” ) turns a Tchaikovsky-themed takedown of that institution into a shrug.

To be sure, those numbers, and most of the others, are performed well by the four-person company, if rarely as well as they would be if performed by the people they are parodying. That’s a built-in problem when satire has little to satirize; if the worst snipe you can take at McDonald is that she’s a glorious soprano and Merman wasn’t, you’re not going to be able to throw much shade.

Punching wild is also a problem here. Instead of using relevant songs to make his points, Alessandrini sometimes conscripts baffling outliers into service. A takeoff called “Great Gatsby for Dummies,” featuring a wicked Jeremy Jordan impersonation by Danny Hayward, is paired with the irrelevant song “Good Morning” from a 1939 movie. And a running gag in which Doc Brown and Marty McFly visit Broadway past and future, with a young Sondheim strangely in tow, is so in the weeds it has ticks. (It does, however, offer a glimpse of the 23rd century’s Ozempic Theater.)

Punches perfectly thrown at the ripest subjects provide the evening’s better moments, even if some of the low blows are mere sideswipes. Of Ariana DeBose’s recent award show hosting, Alessandrini writes: “A girl like that/Could kill the Tonys.” Chris Collins-Pisano does a deadly Ben Platt channeling Liza at the Palace in his recent run there: “Everybody loves charisma/So nobody loves me.” And a rewrite of “The Ladies Who Lunch” provides Jenny Lee Stern, a longtime “Forbidden Broadway” standout, with the opportunity for a pithy comment on Patti LuPone’s extreme mannerisms in the 2021 “Company” revival: “I’ll sink to that.”

In the best bits, the gibes are more substantial, more sustained. A sequence about the current revival of “Cabaret” features Hayward as a series of Emcees — from Joel Grey in 1966 to Alan Cumming in 1998 to Eddie Redmayne today — as they grow progressively more vulgar and unpleasant. Not to be outdone, Stern offers a scathing take on Gayle Rankin’s psychotic Sally Bowles, here introduced wickedly as “the toast of Bedlam.” Elsewhere, Nicole Vanessa Ortiz nails Alicia Keys in an elaborate and eye-opening takedown of “Hell’s Kitchen” for its heavily fictionalized autobiography. Turning “Girl on Fire” into “Pants on Fire” is the kind of thing the series was designed to do.

Though Broadway, with its vanities and oddities, is in many ways an easy target, hitting satirical bull’s-eyes is hard. Expecting Alessandrini to be as consistently sharp and catchy as the best musicals he ransacks is unrealistic. Even if the music direction by Fred Barton is, as always, top-notch, the show’s staging is rudimentary, the pacing of its mere 90 minutes erratic and pocked with potholes. As such, it’s probably a good thing that last summer’s planned production of “Forbidden Broadway on Broadway” didn’t work out ; the scruffy, sarcastic, bare-bones revues that this franchise is modeled on no longer have a home there.

But in its natural habitat, on the far fringes of the theater district, “Forbidden Broadway,” whatever its longueurs, makes sense. It needs an ingrained outsiderness, and at least a few blocks’ distance, to aim its arrows well.

In any case, aren’t you dying to know what the next edition will do with Nicole Scherzinger in “Sunset Boulevard” and Idina Menzel in “Redwood” ? Or what the 2224 edition, at the Ozempic Theater, will do with the umpteenth revival of “Fiddler on the Roof”? Don’t be surprised if it stars an animatronic Kelli O’Hara as envisioned in the current one. Because yes — and this is a fine credo for both “Forbidden Broadway” and LuPone — they’ll sink to that.

Forbidden Broadway: Merrily We Stole a Song Through Jan. 5 at Theater 555, Manhattan; forbiddenbroadway.nyc . Running time: 1 hour 30 minutes.
