"We had, however, sunk 300 pigs," noted Kapit�nleutnant Kr�mer, philosophically. Back at sea, Grille fired a shot across the bow of another Scandinavian merchant ship and captured it; this one was carrying cellulose bound for England. Ten of Grille�s commandos, armed with rifles and pistols, were conveyed to the ship by Motorboot 1 and boarded her and escorted their prize back to a German port. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew sat in the freezing Finnish Gulf, waiting for their relief. Ice floes surrounded the ship and thick sheets of ice covered her decks. Heating oil and food supplies ran low and eventually Grille, with a thoroughly dispirited crew, hungry and living in unheated quarters, put in to the nearest German harbor, where the bunkers were refilled and provisions replenished and the ship made ready for her next mission: Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of England.

After the victorious arrival in London, Hitler was to proceed without delay by motor boat to Windsor Castle, already earmarked as his 'London home'. In preparation for the conqueror's voyage of victory, Grille, with Grillet on board, had been moved from the Baltic to Belgium and made ready in Ostend.
Britain's surrender at Whitehall.
In addition to the fleet reviews and engine trials the boilers did not permit sufficient maneuverability to satisfy Blohm & Voss, so were not fitted to other warships Grille was employed in peacetime for navigation and artillery instruction, and as a target ship for U-boats, all uses requiring regular voyages in the North Sea and the Baltic. But whenever she was required for state duties, Grille was summoned back to Kiel or Hamburg. more
According to another Kriegsmarine officer: "Hitler had little understanding of naval strategy, though he often memorized small details of a ship to humiliate his admirals when they couldn't answer his every question." more
There’s a bewildering choice on offer when you’re buying a first yacht. Rupert Holmes highlights some of the key considerations and suggests good choices from the second hand market.
This is a proper yacht that will take you anywhere at a sensible price. While it lacks the multiple cabins and voluminous interiors of more recent designs, if you want a solid boat with respectable performance, vice-free handling and reasonable accommodation, there are few boats that offer more at a similar price. The design was conceived by David Sadler in the late 1970s as a more modern interpretation of the hugely successful Contessa 32. While it has all the hallmarks of the earlier boat, it has greater beam and freeboard that significantly increases internal volume and makes for a drier ride.
With over 2,000 examples built, the Westerly Centaur is a small bilge-keeler with standing headroom.
Since 2012, turnover has constantly registered a double-digit growth. Such satisfying achievement has been possible thanks to Absolute’s attractiveness to global customers.
The interior and exterior layouts replicate the unmistakable functionality and aesthetic design of Absolute Yachts. Very large sun pads are positioned on the flybridge, which is the genuine social hub of this boat, and at the bow. The starboard side door provides access to the helm from the generous side-deck. The fully equipped galley remains located next to the cockpit, easily accessible from both inside to the sociable living/dining area and outside through a large folding sliding door.
The sociable lounging and dining area forward makes for a very usable entertaining space. The same holds true of the bridge, the entire perimeter of which is surrounded by either seating or sun pads, wetbar and the bimini shade can also be upgraded to a hardtop if required. [links]
The Italian boatyard Absolute Yachts has shown the reasons which have led it to succeed over the last few years. The unstoppable growing path of the brand, which has always aimed to lead the global yachting market, is now represented by new models, including the Navetta 48, new achievements and interesting future plans.
Small is a relative term because the Navetta 48 looks like a very substantial boat. In fact, at just under 50 feet long and with the same 15 foot 3 inch beam, you won’t miss the additional couple of feet. Powered with 435hp IPS600 pod drives the Navetta 48 packs the same punch.
