Gadaffi

He was once the West’s public enemy number one.

Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gadaffi was one of the most controversial figures on the world stage during the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

While making himself unpopular with the US and the UK, he liked nothing better than relaxing on the Mediterranean in his floating palace Al Farah.

Refit Today the 40-metre vessel is tied up in Southampton docks awaiting a refit.

Now under wraps in Ocean Quay, she still bears Gaddafi’s crest on light fittings and other features, although the helicopter pad that was fitted when he owned it has been removed.

The superyacht can sleep eight guests in VIP cabins and 12 crew and, on the orders of the notorious leader, has had a hairdressing salon specially installed.

She has now been sold to a wealthy Russian who has demanded she be extended by five metres and refitted.
