"Blue Guitar" Yacht

[DLGYPSY]

Great day for yacht viewing on the Ct. river area in and around Essex,Ct. where we spotted a classic yacht flying the "Union Jack" flag. The yacht appropriately named "Blue Guitar" for the owner of this jewel, namely, Eric Clapton. Way to cool!!!

Actually I found some links that Eric Clapton actually owns this yacht.

That is not Eric Clapton's boat. Clapton's yacht is named "Va Bene" :

That is "Blue Guitar," the yacht the OP mentioned.

There is another "Blue Guitar" yacht that I found. The CNN article pointed me to this one.

Well I am totally confused at this point.

Blue guitar is owned by a famous guitar guy. Pretty sure it is Eric Clapton.

 

[sdarc]

So which picture is his "boat"? I love that term for something this size. I remember a thread on here discussing what determined a "yacht". I think these both qualify.

As to EC... he is very unpretentious. My nephew met him in a bar in Asheville NC at a Jean Jacques Cale show. (J.J. Cale) He was there just to support and enjoy his friend.

Same boat is on a mooring in newport once in a while.......its Slow Hand's

 

[Steve S]

Eric "Slowhand" Clapton may have once owned "Blue Guitar" but now it seems it has been owned by these guys for a few years - "James Benenson and Lawrence Small are the owners of the 103' Camper and Nicholsons Destiny class motor yacht."

Other items pop up that points to "Va Bene" as being Clapton's current yacht...

That's what I was trying to say! Maybe he should name it "Cocaine".

I also heard Blue Guitar was Kenny Chesney's boat name down in the BVI.

 

[fwebster]

K. Chesney is from New Tazwell Tennessee.......right outside of Knoxville. I think he has a couple of Sea Rays. This one is a 56DB.

Kenny's newest boat is the 63' Riva Virtus in this video....he allegedly paid a mere $3.7m for it.
