Back in the 1980s, an invitation from Forbes magazine owner and consummate bon vivant , Malcolm Forbes, to join him aboard his beloved superyacht The Highlander was a reason for celebration.

And Forbes was a master when it came to celebrating. His first of many Fourth of July parties aboard The Highlander , anchored off Governors Island in New York Harbor, saw the world’s greatest movers and shakers piped aboard by tartan-clad Scottish bagpipers.

There on the yacht’s decks were the likes of Fiat boss Gianni Agnelli, Henry and Nancy Kissinger, David and Peggy Rockefeller and Brooke Astor. More than 150 Maine lobsters and 30 pounds of Scottish smoked salmon were reportedly flown in to feed the elite crowd.

During the five years Forbes owned the yacht, before his death in 1990, she traveled the globe; everywhere from then Communist China, to Bora-Bora, to Thailand, the Philippines and Alaska.

Launched in 1985, this was the last of five Forbes-owned yachts named The Highlander, after his family’s Scottish roots. But this one was unique. Designed by world-renowned designer Jon Bannenberg and built in Holland by Feadship , her dark green hull—said to be the color of dollar bills—stretched 162 feet bow to stern.

“She was nicknamed ‘The Ultimate Capitalist Tool’ for good reason,” the yacht’s current owner, New York-based interior designer Joanne de Guardiola told Robb Report . “Anyone who was anyone stepped aboard at some time during the ’80s.”

De Guardiola and her husband, investment banker Roberto de Guardiola, bought The Highlander from the Forbes estate back in 2012. And just as she’d done with the couple’s previous Feadship, the classic 159-foot Audacia , de Guardiola commissioned a top-to-bottom refit, this time with Florida’s Derecktor Shipyards.

“We had no thoughts of buying another yacht; we loved Audacia. But back in 2012, we had heard The Highlander was for sale and I went to take a look. She was not in great shape, but as a huge fan of Jon Bannenberg’s designs, and knowing her amazing history, we couldn’t resist,” she said.

The exhaustive, two-year refit took the steel and aluminum superyacht down to the studs. The yacht was extended by 12 feet to add a swim deck and rear “garage” for water toys; the top deck was lengthened. Effectively doubling its size, and the master stateroom was moved to where the observatory used to be.

The entire interior was redesigned and refitted with more modern materials and finishes. Out went the padded leather ceilings, the somber, dark green carpets and ornate Chippendale antique chairs; in went bleached-white Anigre paneling, wide-planked dark wood flooring, and brightly colored pop art.

One especially jaw-dropping feature de Guardiola created was the stunning, open-tread marble staircase from salon to upper deck. That and the new, glass-enclosed sky lounge with its disco vibe and blue onyx floor.

“The yacht didn’t really suit a family’s needs—she was really designed for Malcolm Forbes-style corporate entertaining,” says de Guardiola. “And if you wanted to splash in the water, you had to jump over the sides. Mr. Forbes didn’t like to swim.”

But de Guardiola is quick to add that her primary focus with the refit was evolving and not compromising Jon Bannenberg’s iconic design. “That’s what attracted me to the yacht in the first place.”

Mechanical improvements included the installation of Quantum zero speed stabilizers and full rebuilds for the trusty 900 hp Detroit Diesels. They still give the yacht a top speed of 18 mph, cruising at an easy 14 mph with transatlantic capability.

With kids in mind, Highlander —de Guardiola dropped the “the”—is brimming with water toys. Everything from Waverunners, Seabobs, banana floats and kayaks, to Malcolm Forbes’ much-loved, Ferrari-red 22-foot Donzi speedboat. Sadly, his other favorite, a custom-built Cigarette Racing powerboat, is no more. After being fully restored during the refit, the boat caught fire while Highlander was anchored off the Amalfi Coast in Italy.

“My husband was just heading off with our daughter and friends when the fire broke out,” de Guardiola says. “Everyone ended up in the water but were okay. It was one cool boat. It ran at over 60 mph.”

Since the refit, the de Guardiolas have taken friends and family all around the Mediterranean, hanging out at the Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival, and hitting most of the Greek islands. Winters were in the Caribbean. Typically, they spent eight to 10 weeks a year aboard.

So why the decision to sell? De Guardiola says she’s looking for her next project: “As with my interior design work, I love the intellectual challenge of a makeover. It’s also time. We feel we’ve been good custodians. Now someone else should enjoy her.”

Highlande r is listed with IYC in Fort Lauderdale for $8.5 million.

Motor yacht HIGHLANDER stands out as one of the most iconic yachts and a true masterpiece. Crafted in 1986 by the renowned Dutch shipyard Feadship, it was meticulously tailored to the highest standards and conceived by Jon Bannenberg, the pioneer of contemporary yacht design, for the esteemed publisher Malcolm Forbes.

In 2014, this legendary yacht underwent a comprehensive refit and redesign, elevating its aesthetics to contemporary excellence. HIGHLANDER seamlessly melds Malcolm Forbes's unique character with Jon Bannenberg's groundbreaking design. Its towering, angular hull profile, its glass-encased Skylounge, and its raised bow were decades ahead of their time. It was purposefully customized for opulent entertainment and luxurious transatlantic voyages, boasting unparalleled grace and allure on its decks.

HIGHLANDER was meticulously designed for relaxation and amusement, offering an impressive array of amenities. The main salon welcomes guests with plush seating areas, a majestic piano, and a formal dining table accommodating up to 12 guests. Meanwhile, the upper deck's Sky Lounge presents a more relaxed atmosphere, complete with a bar, lounge seating, and a state-of-the-art home theater system.

Outside, HIGHLANDER's expansive decks provide ample space for sunbathing, socializing, and savoring breathtaking vistas. The upper deck is adorned with a Jacuzzi, wet bar, and a shaded dining area, while the main deck boasts an alfresco dining area and comfortable seating alcoves. For those seeking adventure, the yacht offers an array of water toys, including jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards, and more.

The top deck of HIGHLANDER has been recently extended forward, featuring newly integrated seating, sunbeds, and a bar. Additionally, a spacious Jacuzzi now overlooks the transparent ceiling of the Skylounge. The middle deck offers an expansive sunbathing area, perfect for indulging in a late afternoon nap beneath the warm sun.

LEGENDARY YACHT OF THE FORBES'S PUBLISHING MOGUL!

   The 'Highlander' - previously named 'The Highlander' is the famous and stunning 162.24ft /49.45m custom motor yacht. Originally built by the Royal Dutch Feadship dockyard in 1986 and owned by billionaire magnate Malcolm Forbes she was one of the most iconic yachts in the world, the center of attention of the press and the public during the 1980’s and 1990’s. In her's 30 year history, the Highlander has been hosted hundreds of personalities, from Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Prince Charles of England, to Robert de Niro, Mick Jagger, Liz Taylor, Paul McCartney and Chris Brown, among others.

SPECIFICATIONS

According to the owner’s special request, Highlander   imposing steel hull was painted in a shade of green known as “dollar green”, and was long seen as one of the best-known symbols of big business, cruising the East Coast of the US as a corporate yacht for Forbes magazine. Thank to that fact she represents one of the most instantly recognizable superyachts around the world. Superyacht HIGHLANDER received a comprehensive refit by Derecktor shipyard in 2014, fully respecting the groundbreaking exterior lines of her legendary designer Jon Bannenberg. 

Legend has it that Malcolm Forbes, already a three-time Feadship owner, was visiting the yard in Holland to sign the contract for a new yacht when he saw «Azteca» one of several revolutionary Bannenberg designed projects then being built at Feadship. Forbes took one look and exclaimed   “Oh my God, we’ll have to paint mine green!”

He promptly engaged Bannenberg to create the next The Highlander and the result was spectacular for yacht's industry. The Highlander  was built with a steel hull to suit the need for long range cruising to then-communist China, Alaska and Bora Bora. Her interior layout incorporated large reception and conference areas, enabling Forbes to entertain countless dignitaries, heads of state and business leaders in unrivalled style. 

The Highlander remained in the Forbes family for over a quarter of a century. When she was finally offered for sale, it was clear that Bannenberg’s designs had lost none of their attraction. “We are very big fans of Feadship,” explain the owners  Joanne and Roberto de Guardiola. "The Highlander had Feadship’s outstanding quality and Jon Bannenberg’s iconic profile. The Feadship and Bannenberg mix was irresistible.”

The enormous refit project was made by American shipyard Derecktor of Florida and included upgrading and modernising all the mechanics while extending the stern by 12 feet to create a contemporary transom and accommodate a lifting transformer platform. The top deck has also been extended forward for al fresco relaxation. The upper terrace was enlarged to provide more space for the solarium and relaxation area, and the old stately classic style that decorated the interior was replaced with more contemporary furnishings, colors and textures, including light woods like Wenge. 

The redesigned interior allows comfortable accommodation for 12 guests, a more appropriate arrangement for family use. Towards the stern, you’ll find the master cabin with a double en suite bathroom. Six more guest cabins were built, also with en suite bathrooms (1 VIP suite, 2 doubles, 2 Twins, 3 Pullmans and a Bunk Cabin).

However, the new provision goes beyond mere aesthetics. The ship is also equipped with the latest technology in every room. This includes a new Quantum Zero-Speed stabilization system, new command post, new video and audio systems in every corner of the vessel, as well as LED lighting and wireless internet. Even the tender custom-made for Forbes by Cigarette Racing Team was refurbished.

The updated version also offers all the amenities of a modern yacht; it has several Jacuzzis, helipad, disco lounge, cinema, gym and a hinged gangway in the aft with access to the water. 

She is also capable of carrying up to 11 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience.

HIGHLANDER'S impressive leisure and entertainment facilities make her the ideal charter yacht for socialising and entertaining with family and friends.  

She’s also a favourite to charter for the cannes film festival..

Inadequate Lookout Led to Collision between Yacht, Tank Vessel

​WASHINGTON (Jan. 11, 2023) — Two crews not maintaining proper lookouts led to the collision between a yacht and a tank vessel near Nassau, Bahamas, the National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday. The collision resulted in the sinking of the tank vessel and nearly $7.9 million in damages. 

The motor yacht Utopia IV and tank vessel Tropic Breeze were transiting the Northeast Providence Channel on Dec. 23, 2021, when the two vessels ​ collided. The Tropic Breeze’s engine room flooded, and the vessel eventually sank. The vessel’s seven crewmembers abandoned ship and were rescued by a Good Samaritan vessel. Three of the 12 crewmembers on the Utopia IV were injured. 

​Before the collision, the captain of the Utopia IV was conning the vessel while the bosun navigated and kept a bridge log. On the Tropic Breeze, the master and an able seafarer were on watch on the bridge.

The captain of the Utopia IV left the bridge shortly before the collision to check on the seven yacht passengers. The bosun, who was not credentialed as a watch officer and was not allowed by regulations to conn the vessel alone, was left performing watchstanding duties by himself and logging navigational data. 

At 11:00 p.m. Eastern time, the bow of the Utopia IV, traveling at about 20 knots, struck the transom of the Tropic Breeze from directly astern. 

None of the watchstanders on the Utopia IV or Tropic Breeze reported seeing the other vessel on radar. According to the report, it is likely none of the watchstanders had looked at the radar in the 12 minutes before the collision.

During the voyage, the Tropic Breeze’s automatic identification system was inoperative due to a power issue. If the unit was working, Utopia IV’s watchstander could have detected the Tropic Breeze before the collision and the Tropic Breeze’s system would have been able to identify the yacht’s position as it approached from astern. 

NTSB investigators concluded that if either vessel had kept a proper lookout, they likely would have detected each other and could have taken action to avoid the collision.

The NTSB determined the probable cause of the collision was the Utopia IV’s wheelhouse crew not maintaining a proper lookout and therefore not identifying the tank vessel they were overtaking. Contributing was the Tropic Breeze’s bridge team also not maintaining a proper lookout. 

“A proper lookout by suitably trained crewmembers is required by the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 and is essential in determining the risk of collision,” the report said. “The effective use of all available resources by a bridge team, including visual scanning, radars, electronic charts, and an automatic identification system, increases collective situational awareness and contributes to a safe navigation watch. Operators and crews should ensure that vessel bridge teams are staffed with certificated/credentialed mariners who are familiar with all bridge navigation equipment and able to independently take immediate action.” ​

Marine Investigation Report 22-29 ​ is available online.​       ​

To report an incident/accident or if you are a public safety agency, please call 1-844-373-9922 or 202-314-6290 to speak to a Watch Officer at the NTSB Response Operations Center (ROC) in Washington, DC (24/7).

Highlander XLE owner has a question about pre-collision system.

• Add to quote

Hey Guys-I'm loving my new Highlander XLE but just one question and that's about the pre-collision system. I had a Camry XLE and it had sensors with the pre-collision system that when I even got close to something they would go off and even brake the car if necessary. I don't understand the highlanders setup when it comes to pre-collision. If I pull in the garage slowly nothing goes off and I could literally hit the wall. I have the sensitivity maxed and still the Highlander system doesn't go off. Could someone please explain how the pre-collision system works? I've watched you-tube video's but mine doesn't seem to be working like I thought it should be. Also I don't see rear sensors only the front ones.  

According to online build and price only the Limited trim comes with ICS. Intelligent clearance sonar. You might not even have it. I would physically check see if installed in bumpers  

• Forward collision: Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) mitigation

Precolision system is the radar behind your front Toyota emblem. That would basicly asist in cruise control distance maintain to vehicle in front. Any other informatuon you can find in owners manual since it becomes a liability explaining publicly in a forum The front camera besides the rearview mirror assist with pedestrian detection etc  

I think what you're describing is not pre-collision, but instead it's called "front/rear park assist with automatic braking". That's the system that has sonar sensors in the bumpers and will stop the car at low speed if you are about to pull forward into an obstacle or back into an obstacle. On the Camry, they call it "Intelligent Clearance Sonar". Pre-collision comes into play when you're driving forward and you're suddenly moving toward an object too quickly and the brakes must be applied to avoid a collision. That's going to be at faster forward speeds than pulling into the garage or parking. For 2020 Highlander, Park Assist is only equipped on Limited and Platinum.  

Thanks Toto-That's EXACTLY what I meant, I got the two confused I always thought pre-collision was the ICS but it's no big deal I still love the vehicle. Thanks for clearing that up!  

You may go a long time without getting any kind of warning from the pre-collision system. The most common scenario is coming up upon a vehicle making a right turn into a parking lot. I used to get warnings all the time from TSS 1.0 as you are typically coming up fast because the car is exiting the lane and you can usually swerve to the left if the car suddenly stops. In the 3 1/2 years that I owned a 2017 Highlander, I only had two times where I felt full activation of the PCS system including the braking and the tightening of the seatbelt. I would not be surprised if TSS 2.0 is even more selective about when it activates.  

I have it turned off and in fact turned all sensors off in display and have my bike hitch attached to car. Unfortunately, the Highlander Limited still is detecting and having car brake on its own. Then eases and the brakes again. Thoughts whats going on? Just had hitch done and curious if installers wired the lights wrong.  

@jbeall915 I think the relevant feature is called "Parking Support Brake" rather than parking assist, and a method for turning it off should be found in the section called "Enabling/Disabling the Parking Support Brake" of your users manual under "Using the driving support systems" (section 4-5 in the manual I looked at). I would be stunned if this has anything to do with having the hitch installed.  

I just bought a used 2020 hybrid xle when I came home to park- no front sensors. Is this for real or am I missing something?  

The fact that this only works over 7 MPH is the dumbest feature ever. So many fender benders happen at low speed in traffic. I rolled into a barrel in the yard while distracted and it ripped up one side of the fender. Would never have happened with my Jeep.  

Parking Support Brake does work below 7 MPH, but it's part of the Park Assist feature. It's not part of Pre-Collision. Therefore it's not standard on all trims.

Fiery collision near Moscow kills man, injures others

Specialized procedure: seattle patient travels to spokane for robotic heart surgery at sacred heart.

When a lifelong heart condition became worse, Donny Jones, who lives near Seattle, knew by last June that he’d be heading to Spokane.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.

Refreshed 2011 Toyota Highlander debuts in Moscow

Toyota’s spruced-up 2011 Highlander crossover made its world premiere today at this

by Carscoop

Toyota’s spruced-up 2011 Highlander crossover made its world premiere today at this year’s edition of the Moscow International Motor Show. Though Toyota is keeping its cards closed, buyers in the States should see a US launch of the facelifted crossover later this year.

Russian and Ukrainian buyers get a single engine option, the 3.5-liter V6 gasoline unit pumping out 273HP, matched to a five-speed automatic transmission.

In the States, powertrains and accessories should carry over from the 2010 model year, which means choosing an I4, V6, or hybrid and front- or all-wheel drive. Other than continuing to make a good argument for killing off the Venza (I’m sorry, is the Highlander not “crossover” enough for you?), not much else is new.
