Exclusive: Chris Bey Talks IMPACT Wrestling
By: Adam Morrison | September 18, 2020 September 18, 2020
"I'm not AJ Styles, I'm not Samoa Joe, I'm not Christopher Daniels, I'm not Chris Sabin, I'm not Sonjay Dutt, I'm Chris Bey, and there hasn't been one of me before."
For around a year, the Virginia-born Chris Bey became a familiar face to fans of IMPACT Wrestling, as he appeared sporadically between 2018 and 2019 as an enhancement talent. Your writer remembers one specific match prior to the 2019 Bound For Glory pay-per-view Bey had against the then-X Division Champion, Jake Crist, a match that Bey excelled in. In saying that, it came as truly fantastic news when IMPACT confirmed they had officially signed Bey to a contract earlier this year, just before the global pandemic fully kicked in. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, 'The Ultimate Finesser' has already made the most of his time as an official IMPACT performer, considering he's only been officially signed since March, and is already a former X Division Champion.
Last Word on Pro Wrestling recently had the opportunity to chat to Chris Bey, where he discussed what IMPACT Wrestling meant to him as a child, the diversity of the X division, signing with IMPACT and lifting the X Division Championship, Johnny Swinger, Sonjay Dutt, and much more!
Fans of 'The Ultimate Finesser' will be aware that there's a video around online of Bey, in his youth, opening a replica version of the Total Nonstop Action (TNA) World Heavyweight Champion, the title he one day dreamed of holding. Around this time, there were a handful of other companies that could have drawn Bey's attention, however, he opted to follow TNA specifically for one very particular reason. "I think it was the X division in general, the speed of everybody, the size of everybody, the difference of the company versus everything else", is what Bey had to say, adding that while the six-sided ring made TNA unique back in the day, it's not a ring he had any desire to wrestle in himself. "It was enough for me to want to tune into next week", as many fans of the X division will agree on.
After being used countless times to put officially signed IMPACT talent over, Bey received his own contract offer from IMPACT management. "Honestly, not to say I expected it, but it was what I was working for, for about a year at that point", proving Bey's dedication to his craft. "I did my first work for IMPACT in November 2018, and from that point until signing with the company, my goal was to sign with IMPACT Wrestling". Prior to his official signing, Bey also appeared for both Ring of Honor (ROH) and WWE, where he competed on 205 Live, however, IMPACT remained the goal he put his motivation towards. "Every time they'd come to Vegas, I'd do work with them, or when they came to California, I'd do work with them. It was just something that I really wanted". Closing off the question, Bey added, "When I finally got the offer, it was like a sort of validation of all the hard work I had put in, not just my whole career, but that last year of chasing that exact goal".
Coming into a division that once hosted the likes of AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, and Petey Williams was never going to be an easy task, regardless of who you are. Talking about any pressure he felt regarding his official arrival to IMPACT, "I think we all feel pressure, to a degree. I consider myself a pressure player. I started saying that phrase maybe around summer 2019 because we all are performing under a lot of pressure, whether it's from our peers, whether it's from ourselves, whether it's from fans who are watching all over the world". The phrase 'pressure player' perfectly describes the work ethic of 'The Ultimate Finesser' as he continuously rises to the occasion to outdo his last performance, and perfect every aspect of his career. "I never try to do comparisons with people who have come before me, I just try to make sure I'm doing my best performance because I know my best will always be good enough" – everyone should be able to take this bit of advice from Bey.
Just four months into beginning his official IMPACT career, Chris Bey found himself with perhaps his biggest career opportunity to date, as he challenged Willie Mack for the X Division Championship at Slammiversary, IMPACT's second-biggest pay-per-view of the year behind Bound For Glory. Not only did he challenge 'Chocolate Thunder', but he also left the venue that night with the title firmly around his waist. "So for me, that's always been my favourite IMPACT show that they offer. For me to fight for the IMPACT X Division Championship at Slammiversary was just insane in itself, but then to actually capture the X Division Championship, once again it's just that validation. There is no other me, and my time is right now. 2020, as weird a year as it is, in terms of the wrestling landscape, me signing with IMPACT and me winning the championship, that'll never be taken away from me", showing just how grateful Bey was for such an opportunity. "Even on my way back to the hotel, I remember going on Google to check out the history of the championship, and I remember reading, 'first champion AJ Styles, current champion Chris Bey', and even that was enough for me to be like woah".
In the current landscape of IMPACT Wrestling, it feels as if the company has been reborn as a whole new entity. Gone are the days of people bashing the promotion for a plethora of reasons, as we now live in a time when IMPACT is once again treated as a major deal by wrestlers and fans alike. Talking about the atmosphere behind the scenes at IMPACT, Bey stated, "It's amazing, it's probably the reason why I wanted to come to IMPACT. It's no secret that I've worked in other organisations, but as far as whenever I came to IMPACT, it was always where I wanted to go because I felt the best energy in the locker room. I felt like everybody was on the same page". With a roster packed to the brim of talents wanting nothing but the best for the company that's providing them with a place to do what they love, it's no surprise that this is the sort of atmosphere backstage at an IMPACT Wrestling show. There isn't a single person on the roster who still thinks of IMPACT as being in the olden days when no-one gave the promotion a second look. "This current team is working their very best to improve and show the world that we are the best. As soon as I felt the energy, I knew that's exactly where I wanted to be. People feel like I'm an asset to the team".
One of the first things fans saw of Chris Bey once he had officially signed the IMPACT contract was quite a random partnership form between he and Johnny Swinger, known as The Finesse and Bench Press Express. Despite the vast differences between the duo, Bey has fond memories of his team working with 'The Swing Man'. "I learned to have fun working with Swinger. I'm being new to TV, so he definitely helped me relax a little bit more. He's a crazy character, he's a cool cat. Being around him definitely took some of the weight off my shoulders and just be free, and let some of my natural personality shine. Maybe I learned a couple of things in the finesse division, he keeps the gimmicks in the fanny pack". Pro tip for any future stars working alongside Swinger – go straight for the fanny pack. "My thing to take away from working with him was to just be myself, and have fun out there".
Unfortunately, Chris Bey came into IMPACT Wrestling just before the global pandemic really began to take its toll on the world, resulting in the majority of his IMPACT career thus far playing out in front of no live audience, however, this isn't something he let get to his head. "It's weird, man, but at the same time, we will always have more people watching at home than we do in attendance anyway, and that goes for anybody. For me, it's given me a chance to not only work on my television performances, but find different ways to connect with audiences at home, and really let my personality shine, not just my wrestling abilities. It's no secret that I'm a really talented wrestler, I just came from the gym before doing these interviews, I'm always working on my body, on my in-ring abilities. It's that character stuff that has really been able to shine through so fans can have a deeper understanding of who 'The Ultimate Finesser' is through what I've been able to portray onscreen".
Speaking earlier of former IMPACT talents, Bey stated, "I thought Samoa Joe was super badass. He was unbeatable, undefeated, he had the X Division Title. I just thought it was pretty different to everything else I had seen", however, if he could choose anyone from the past to return to an IMPACT Wrestling ring for a match with himself, he'd choose Sonjay Dutt. "I tweeted about this the other day, I was tweeting about how I just miss seeing Sonjay Dutt wrestle. I think it would be really cool for me to get in the ring with Sonjay, I was a huge fan of his in the later 2000s, and it would be cool for me, personally, to get a match with Sonjay Dutt".
To round things off, Chris Bey has high hopes for his future in IMPACT Wrestling, but it all begins with regaining his Finesse Division Championship from Rohit Raju. "Once I get that back from Rohit, you know, possibly Option C, or as I like to call it, Option CB, heading for the World Championship. I've made it no secret that I want the World Championship, that's something that I need to check off my bucket list, and put onto my resume that Chris Bey is a World Champion. If you don't believe me, you gotta tune in on Tuesday nights on AXS TV, on Twitch, on the IMPACT Plus App. I'm a man of my word, I said I was gonna come in, be the first Finesse Division Champion, I did that, and now I'm telling you I will be IMPACT World Champion".
Clearly, Chris Bey isn't a man to be taken lightly. Last Word on Pro Wrestling would like to take this opportunity to thank 'The Ultimate Finesser' for taking the time to talk, as well as Simon Rothstein for organising the interview. A reminder for UK fans that IMPACT Wrestling is available to watch for FREE as part of the free tier version of the IMPACT Plus app.

Australian cinema shines in Cannes – IF (26may14)

The best actor award for Charlie's Country's David Gulpilil in Certain Regard and a standing ovation for David Michôd's thriller The Rover capped off a memorable Cannes Film Festival and market for Australian cinema.
It was that rare combination of critical acclaim for the Aussie films that screened in the festival and a solid volume of deal-making for films that were sold at the market.
"We had consistent feedback from sales agents and buyers on the calibre of Australian talent and projects, which they are tracking with real interest," Screen Australia head of marketing Kathleen Drumm tells IF.
"Producers reported fewer but quality meetings as momentum around Australia continues to enable good marketplace access. However it remains hard to raise finance without high profile cast, directorial talent, demonstrable marketing hooks, clarity on audience and a budget that matches a project's commerciality.
"Sales for Australian films were solid despite the reported soft marketplace, with Lion and Son of a Gun being the two standout performers."
International buyers also snapped up The Dressmaker, Jocelyn Moorhouse's 1950s-set comic drama that's due to shoot in Victoria in October, produced by Sue Maslin and starring Kate Winslet, Judy Davis, Liam Hemsworth, Isla Fisher and Elizabeth Debicki.
The Weinstein Co. is in exclusive negotiations for US rights to The Water Diviner, Russell Crowe's directing debut in which he plays a farmer who goes to Turkey after WW1 in search of his sons who went missing after Gallipoli. TWC has offered $US4 million, according to Deadline.com.
Visit Films closed deals for Rolf de Heer's Charlie's Country to Benelux (Cinemien) and Greece (Feelgood Entertainment) and for Sophie Hyde's 52 Tuesdays to Spain (Cinebinario) and Germany (Salzgeber). That followed deals for the US, the UK, Benelux and Hong Kong concluded in Berlin for the gender-bending drama.
Producers report increasing interest from international producers in mounting co-productions with Australia and New Zealand. "I had five or six new international projects pitched to me in Cannes, " says Mark Overett, one of the instigators of the multi-national co-prod Iron Sky. "The fact that the NZ/Denmark Treaty was signed in Cannes is testament to this."
Overett garnered strong sales agent interest for his upcoming thriller Mongrel, to be directed by Jonathan auf der Heide, and German international sales agent K5 confirmed its intent to handle Samoan hip-hop love story Fresh As, directed by Justine Simei-Barton
Producers Pam Collis and Amanda Dow pitched two projects, No Kissing and Chasing Aliens, in 41 meetings and each time was asked to forward scripts. "From this response we are extremely positive for landing distribution from some of the top players in the industry, "says Pam.
As IF has reported, in one of the biggest deals signed in Cannes, TWC paid more than $US12 million for worldwide rights excluding Australasia to Garth Davis' Lion, a drama based on the true story of an Indian-born Australian who found his birth mother 25 years after they were separated.
A24 took US rights to Son of a Gun, a crime thriller from first-timer director Julius Avery, starring Ewan McGregor, Alicia Vikander (A Royal Affair) and Brenton Thwaites (Maleficent). Altitude Film Sales screened the film produced by Southern Light Films' Timothy White, to buyers in Cannes.
Main Street Films collared Tim Winton's The Turning and Well Go USA nabbed Zak Hilditch's These Final Hours, which screened in Director's Fortnight.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a controversial bill Friday that makes it a crime for illegal immigrants to be in the state. The new law will require local police to seek proof of immigration status if there is reason to suspect individuals are illegal immigrants.
Earlier Friday, President Obama had criticized the bill as "misguided." He said that the federal government's failure to overhaul immigration law had been an invitation for other jurisdictions to act "irresponsibly." Now that Brewer has signed the bill into law, however, the question is whether it can survive inevitable legal challenges.
Both supporters and critics of the Arizona measure — one of hundreds of other state laws enacted in recent years that were designed to crack down on illegal immigrants — agreed that the law indeed was born out of frustration at Washington's inability to grapple with the problem.
Soon after Brewer signed the bill into law, the Mexican American Legal Defense & Educational Defense Fund issued a press release saying it would challenge the law.
Not everyone is so sure that legal challenges will be a slam-dunk, however.
States must leave most immigration matters to Washington. They can't decide who is allowed to enter at the border, for instance. But whether the new law oversteps state authority is "a difficult question to answer," Johnson says.
An easier question, in his mind, is whether the law will lead to constitutional violations, such as unlawful searches and seizures or discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race or ethnicity.
"That seems to me the much greater risk," Johnson says.
The law requires noncitizens in Arizona to carry their immigration paperwork with them at all times. That clearly would be an example of the state intruding into exclusively federal domains of enforcement and regulation, Tumlin argues, and will inevitably lead to racial profiling.
President Obama has directed the Justice Department to be mindful of civil rights violations stemming from the new law.
But Bob Dane, press secretary for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which supports tighter immigration restrictions, says the new law was a "common sense" reaction to the costs associated with illegal immigration that have fallen on the border state.

Gardoš (en serbe cyrillique :  ; en hongrois : ) est un quartier de Belgrade, la capitale de la Serbie. Il est situé dans la municipalité urbaine de Zemun.

Situé sur les pentes de la colline de Gardoš et dominé par une haute tour, le quartier a conservé son architecture ancienne. Cet ensemble en fait un haut lieu historique de Zemun.

Emplacement
Avec Ćukovac et Kalvarija, Gardoš est l'une des trois collines où fut construit l'actuel cœur historique de Zemun ; la colline s'élève sur la rive droite du Danube et offre un panorama sur la région du Pančevački rit, dans la municipalité de Palilula. Gardoš est entouré par les quartiers de Gornji Grad au nord-ouest, de Ćukovac et de Muhar au sud et par celui de Donji Grad au sud-est.

Caractéristiques

Pour l'essentiel, le quartier de Gardoš a conservé un aspect ancien, avec des rues étroites et pavées, bordées de petites maisons individuelles. Près de la moitié du quartier est occupé par un vaste cimetière, le plus grand de Zemun. Depuis les années 1990, Gardoš est devenu un lieu de promenade à la mode, avec plusieurs restaurants modernes offrant une vue sur le.

L'édifice principal du quartier est la tour de Jean Hunyadi (Kula Sibinjanin Janka), également connue sous les noms de « tour du Millénaire » et de « tour de Gardoš ». Elle a été inaugurée en 1896 pour célébrer le millième anniversaire de l'installation des Hongrois dans la plaine de Pannonie. Elle s'inscrivait à l'époque dans une série de constructions commémorant l'événement, avec des bâtiments édifiés à Budapest et quatre tours du millénaire situées dans les quatre grandes directions géographiques ; celle de Zemun constituait la tour la plus méridionale, la ville faisant alors partie du Royaume de Hongrie au sein de l'Autriche-Hongrie. Elle a été érigée à l'emplacement de la forteresse médiévale de Gardoš dont il ne subsiste aujourd'hui que les tours d'angle et une partie des murs de défense. De style éclectique, elle est principalement influencée par l'architecture romaine et, pendant plusieurs décennies, elle a été utilisée comme lieu d'observation par les pompiers de la ville. Son nom rappelle le souvenir de Jean Hunyadi qui mourut dans l'ancienne forteresse.

Culture
Il existe un théâtre appelé Teatar Gardoš, le « théâtre de Gardoš », mais il est en fait situé au sud sur le Masarikov trg, dans le quartier de Donji Grad. Le principal événement culturel du secteur est l'Été de Gardoš (), qui organise chaque année en juillet et en août une série de représentations théâtrales en plein air.

For all of 2017, I've been following the Capcom Pro Tour, charting more than 700 matches that have taken place to get an idea of who the players are that are trying to win the Capcom Cup.
I'm writing a book about what's happened during the season, using the data I've collected from throughout the year to tell the story.
These players are more than button mashers or frame-perfect fiends. Each one of them has their own style, and the numbers say so.
My goal with this book is to help break down the tournament series from a new point of view — the numbers point of view.

Mainz are 16th in the table with 27 points or 3 behind safe positions and their opponent in this game. This is a direct game for 15th place, which will save one of these clubs from relegation. A win for Mainz and the team will go over danger zone as currently are with better goal difference than Freiburg. But Mainz's form is not good in the last months. In the previous round finished 1-1 with Koln away at home, while before that 0-0 with Borussia M. So now are without a win in 6 consecutive league games. Their last victory came in February over Hertha Berlin with 2-0, but this is their only one from last 10 games with 5 loses in this period, which is pretty bad form.
Just before a month Freiburg were in the middle of the table and far away over danger zone. But the team made a run from 6 games without a win and won only 2 points in this period. In the last 3 matches their performance is even worse after 3 consecutive loses against Stuttgart with 1-2, Schalke with 0-2 and Wolfsburg with 0-2. Lots of problems in the visits as well after 9 games without a win and only 1 victory in this season (1-6-7 balance) and awful defense with 33 conceded goals.
After all, both teams should push for a win in this game. Mainz will come over relegation zone if win here, while if Freiburg win they will make a gap between them and danger zone from 6 points, so here an interesting and over derby is expected. First meeting in this season finished 2-1 for Freiburg.


Intravenous therapy or IV therapy is the direct administration of medicines or fluids into your bloodstream through your veins. The substance will be transferred with the help of a needle into your veins. During some emergencies situations, oral pills and medication will not give you fast results. This is because oral medication goes into your digestive system and by the body absorbs it and it reaches your bloodstream, it may be too late. This is why intravenous therapy is very important. However, the healthcare provider can control how fast the medication can be given which is vital. Intravenous micronutrient therapy is an important way of restoring nutrients to a person's body.
Healthcare providers or doctors directly administer intravenous micronutrients into your bloodstream with the help of a needle. This procedure can be very helpful for people suffering from chronic illness, stress, depression, anxiety, immune deficiency, sleep disorders, and resistant infections. Not everyone gets enough nutrients in their day to day life because not everyone knows to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Lack of certain nutrients can make you really sick and it's not good for your body on a long-term basis. Today, we all are so busy juggling our professional and personal lives that we hardly have any time to eat healthily. This is where IV micronutrient therapy can be used to restore your wellness. To know more about IV micronutrient therapy visit https://www.advancedcryonyc.com/health-and-wellness-contact-us.
IV micronutrient therapy can be beneficial in slowing down the aging process. As you get enough of nutrients, your body and mind will stay healthy which is very important to keep aging away. Also, people like athletes and sportspersons who require constant energy boosts will find this procedure very useful. The blend of the nutrients is sometimes called the "cocktail" which will contain different types of nutrients. If you get some routine tests done, you will get to know the nutrients your body needs the most and which are the ones that are deficient. Your doctor will decide what cocktail you will have to get administered.
One of the great things about IV therapy is that you don't really need to be sick in order to get it done. It can just be another way to wellness. IV micronutrient therapy will ensure that your body gets all the nutrients that it needs so that you don't really get sick in the future. If you have a healthy body, you will feel more energetic and you can perform well in your daily life challenges like college or work. When you don't eat well or your body is not getting the nutrients that it requires, your performance is brought down automatically. IV micronutrient therapy makes sure that you become the best version of yourself through overall health development.

California lawmakers finish work closing $54B deficit
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The California Legislature on Friday finished work on a state spending plan that closes an historic $54.3 billion deficit by temporarily raising taxes on businesses, cutting funding to courts, colleges and state worker salaries, and delaying billions of dollars in payments to public schools.
The $202.1 billion budget marks an incredible reversal for the nation's most populous state, which just six months ago was preparing a spending plan that included a multibillion-dollar surplus. But that changed in March, when Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a stay-at-home order that forced many businesses to close and sent state revenues plummeting as more than 6.7 million Californians have filed for unemployment benefits.
Lawmakers avoided painful cuts to public schools and health care programs in part by temporarily raising taxes on businesses with more than $1 million in annual revenue, borrowing from funds restricted for things like cleaning up oil spills and helping AIDS patients buy medication, and delaying billions of dollars in expenses to future years.
"We could have made more cuts. We could have had a budget that was better for our bond rating. But we decided that it was more important to ensure that schools remain held harmless, more important to make sure we didn't cut health care," said Assemblyman Phil Ting, a Democrat from San Francisco and chair of the Assembly Budget Committee.
Republicans warned the budget was balanced by gimmicks that disguise the state's financial problems by simply putting off tough decisions.
"This budget only delays the inevitable," said Assemblyman Vince Fong, a Republican from Bakersfield. "We will have to come back again and plug another budget deficit because we didn't do what we were supposed to do."
California's budget is a complicated package of more than a dozen bills that direct spending for education, health care, transportation and other state services. The bills are supposed to be limited to budget matters only, but they are sometimes vehicles for surprise policy proposals.
The Assembly approved most of the budget bills on Friday. But they balked at a public safety bill that would have, among other things, reduced the length of parole, expanded the state's assault weapons ban, and let judges overrule prosecutors to give diversion programs to people charged with misdemeanors.
Democratic Assemblyman Jim Cooper, a former police officer, said he was worried the diversion program was too broad because it would give judges authority to put people in diversion programs for offenses that include sex crimes and possession of child pornography.
Aaron Edwards, a representative from Newsom's Department of Finance, said he thought in those instances judges would choose not to offer a diversion program — which once completed clears the offense from the person's record.
That wasn't good enough for Cooper.
"Judges make mistakes," Cooper said during a legislative hearing. "That's not good law, and that's not good practice."
The budget cuts $150 million from the court system, $2.8 billion from state employee salaries, $1.7 billion from public colleges and universities and $248 million from housing programs. All of that money would be restored if the federal government sends the state additional aid by Oct. 15.
Public schools were mostly spared deep cuts, getting roughly the same amount they received the previous year. But that's bad for some districts that have grown during the pandemic and need more money to serve their new students. That includes charter schools that have grown as parents seek alternatives to "distance learning" in traditional public schools.
"That was a trade off. We want to help 90% of the school districts stay afloat," said Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, chair of the Assembly Budget subcommittee that oversees education spending.
Lawmakers did find money for new spending, including two programs aimed at helping people living in the country illegally.
For the first time, California will allow some low-income immigrants who don't have a Social Security number to be eligible for a credit that increases the size of their state tax refunds. But it only applies to people who have a child 5 and younger, excluding hundreds of thousands of working immigrants.
And California will set aside $10 million in loans to small businesses run by immigrants, regardless of their immigration status. Republicans have objected, arguing the state shouldn't be cutting funding to colleges and universities while giving loans to people living in the country illegally. But the Newsom administration defended the spending, calling it a "comparatively small amount of funding" to people who are not eligible for federal assistance.
Newsom on Friday called the bills "a responsible budget under the historically difficult circumstances we face."
But it's likely lawmakers will amend the budget later this year once they have a better idea of how the economy is faring.
"Our budget is written in a way that will guide us through the coming months and the coming difficulties," Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon said.


Re-imaging the warrior : divine warrior imagery in the book of Revelation.
The focus of this dissertation is to investigate whether the ancient motif of Divine Warrior imagery can aid in understanding the violent imagery in the book of Revelation. The specific strategy is to examine how John's intended readers would perceive the violent imagery in light of the horizon of expectations regarding Divine Warfare and how the text challenges those expectations. In order to get a sense for how John's late first century C.E. intended readers would hear the imagery of Divine War, a diachronic investigation of Divine Warrior imagery is a major portion of the study. This is necessary in order to discern how Divine Warrior imagery has been adapted into these contexts. The study begins by investigating the way gods fight in literature from the ancient Near East. A significant part of this discussion focuses on the Baal Epic from Ugarit. The next phase of the study discusses the various ways the texts of the Hebrew Scriptures adapt the ancient Near Eastern imagery into the context of ancient Israel. The literature of early Judaism then appropriates the same imagery, primarily through the foundation of authoritative scriptural texts. A number of developments are apparent in early Jewish usage of the imagery now put into still different contexts. Finally, the book of Revelation appropriates Divine Warrior imagery from a context that understands the Hebrew Scriptures as authoritative, is steeped in the general mindset of early Judaism, and lives in the provinces of the Roman Empire. The conclusion of the dissertation is that Divine Warrior imagery, as primarily the imagery of power, shows considerable flexibility. Using the imagery of conquering and war, John's visions redefine victory from a divine perspective: true power conquers by dying, not by killing. The violent imagery of God and Jesus Christ at war must be read in light of this understanding of what it means to conquer.


News just in from Y.CO of a further $3 million price reduction on White Cloud, jointly listed with Merle Wood & Associates.
This 67.3m Feadship was built by the Van Lent yard in 1983 with styling by Jon Bannenberg. White Cloud was extended from 60m in 2005, and her interior was redecorated and redesigned by Terence Disdale Design. A large jetted spa pool was added on the aft deck and zero-speed stabilisers were also installed.
In 2010, she underwent the 25-year marine survey to maintain her to Lloyd's classification. Her engine control room, machinery and monitoring systems were then upgraded and the exterior was completely refinished.
Helicopter capable, White Cloud is now asking $15.9 million.
