The second LADY LINDA
Doug and Linda von Allmen commissioned her from Trinity, the yard that had built their previous LADY LINDA. For her interior they brought in Evan Marshall.
Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in August 2005, while she was under construction there. Trinity towed her to its yard in Gulfport, Mississippi, and finished her there. She was handed over a year after the storm.
The von Allmens went back to the same yard and the same designer for their next LADY LINDA, a 57-metre yacht delivered in 2012. Their 2006 yacht passed to new owners as LIBRA III, then NEVER ENOUGH, and has been MISS CHRISTINE since 2021.
The owner's suite
The office on the starboard side is the suite's anteroom: somewhere to read or take a call without opening the bedroom to the rest of the yacht.
The bedroom
The king bed stands on the centreline under a mahogany-framed ceiling. To port, a settee sits beneath three arched windows, and a dressing table doubles as a desk. There is a walk-in wardrobe on each side, and the suite has its own two full-size Eurocave wine cabinets and a minibar.
The bathrooms
There are two, both in marble with gold fittings. One has a glass-enclosed shower, the other a Jacuzzi bath under a fibre-optic ceiling.
From the room to the deck
Both the saloon and the skylounge open through automatic glass doors onto an aft deck of their own. With the doors open, room and deck become one space.
Main deck
The saloon is the more formal of the pair. Its lounge sits aft around two glass cocktail tables, with a wet bar to port and the dining room forward. Ten can sit down to dinner there or outside on the aft deck, which has a teak table and a second wet bar and leads down to the swim platform.
Bridge deck
Upstairs, the skylounge has an L-shaped leather sofa, a marble-topped bar and a game table for four. Beyond its doors, the upper aft deck adds a round table under cover and a curving stair down to the main deck.
Sundeck
This is the most open of the three decks. A Jacuzzi for six sits among sunpads and teak loungers, with a walk-up bar and grill, a dining table and a day head close by. A windscreen and a sunshade shelter its forward end.
Guests
A stair leads down from the main deck lobby to the guest foyer. Every guest stateroom opens off it, and each has its own marble bathroom.
The VIP
This one is to port, with a king bed over storage drawers and a dressing table with mirror and bench. Its bathroom has a glass-enclosed shower.
Two kings
These two mirror each other across the yacht, one to port and one to starboard. Each has a California king bed with drawers beneath, a vanity and a shower.
The twin
To starboard, two single beds and a Pullman berth above bring the total to eleven guests. The bathroom has a shower over the bath.

Design
Trinity drew her exterior as well as building her: a deep blue hull, a white superstructure stepped back deck by deck, and nine vertical windows across the wheelhouse.
Evan Marshall's London studio has since worked on the 73-metre Trinity COCOA BEAN and the 61-metre Benetti DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. Here his approach was traditional: dark wood, stone, gilding and painted ceilings, set against pale fabrics. Carpets, upholstery and some of the furniture have been renewed since 2022.

She began 2026 in the Pacific and spent the summer in New England.
The mothership
The programme. In recent seasons she has been chartered, and off Costa Rica she has worked as a mothership for sportfishing. By day the fishing boats ran out to the marlin and sailfish grounds; in the evening the guests came back to her for dinner, the Jacuzzi and their own staterooms.
At anchor
Her Quantum stabilisers work at zero speed as well as under way, which damps the roll when she lies at anchor off an open coast. Between them, her two Spot Zero watermakers make 7,200 US gallons a day, so water is never a reason to go into port.
The water
A crane rated at 3,500 lb launches the 22-foot Novurania tender from the sundeck. Two Yamaha WaveRunners are also part of the sale. Swimmers go in from the platform at the stern or from one of two seven-step sea stairs.

Crew and systems
The bridge
The wheelhouse has three helm chairs, a leather bench and a teak sole. Navigation runs through Furuno X- and S-band radars, a C-Plath gyrocompass and autopilot, and Nobeltec Time Zero charting on Hatteland displays. A Sailor VSAT keeps her connected at sea, and the GMDSS A3 console covers distress communications well beyond coastal range. The ship's office is at the aft end, and the captain has a cabin with a queen bed just behind it.
The crew
Three crew cabins have bunks and a bathroom each, and the engineer has a separate cabin aft. The crew lounge has refrigerators, a dishwasher and a sink, so the crew can eat and rest away from the guest areas. Their quarters also hold a Miele laundry with two washers, two dryers and a roller press.
The galley
Set to port on the main deck, the galley has a Wolf induction range, oven and steamer, a Vulcan salamander, Sub-Zero refrigeration and granite worktops. The chef and the stewards each have a pantry of their own.
Under way
Twin Caterpillar 3512B engines of 2,250 hp each drive her semi-displacement aluminium hull at 16 knots cruising and 19 at most. A Simon system monitors fuel, water and bilges, and is linked to a Consilium fire system with a monitor in the wheelhouse. The engine room also has an emergency helm.
