Hi,

here is the most important reason why I'm playing Minecraft:

The biggest superyacht marina in the Mediterranean Sea
Port Vauban in Antibes, France
for this project I can build yachts, yachts, and even more yachts - and I love yachts.
Additionally I was there, and I know the location really good.

-------------------------------------- UPDATE - 07.02.13 --------------------------------------

I did it again... Petrus II joint the fleet.

----------------------------------------------- Facts: ------------------------------------------------

- size: 800 x 640 (only the marina, without Fort Carré)
- water depth: from 10 blocks ("Quai des Riches") to 4 blocks at the "Quai du Avenue du 11. Novembre"
- ca. 80 yachts and boats in the range of 121 to 5 blocks length
when finished there will be more then 200 yachts and boats
- Fort Carré, situated on the hill towards Nice (not finished yet)
- size: approximately 540 x 460 (with the hill), Fort Carré itself: 120 x120
- building time (until now):
- the port just a few month
- each yacht a few weeks
- Fort Carré one month

- each yacht is handbuild by me or redesigned be me (usually over 75 %) if I use yachts from others
- all yachts a detailed enough to life in it
- each yacht is completely furnished in an own style
(of cause there are some similarities, but all in all each yacht is unique)

- underground railway system with stations at all important locations of the port
- central lightnig room situated in the basement of the capitainerie, you can light the complete marina from there

-------------------------------------- Additional Details --------------------------------------

If you want to help me send me links of your yacht(s) and the permission to use and publish them in this marina
- If I think it's necessary to redesign them a little bit, I' ll do that.
- Please say if I should use your yacht in your version and then I'll decide if I do so or not. Maybe you get a hint to improve your yacht.

If you recognize one of your yachts and you are not in my creditlist, please write me an e-mail.
I'll prove it and add you immediately.
