I've visited many times, but have not yet explored all its statuary-laden squares or sampled all its fine little restaurants. The Waving Girl was erected in honor of a local woman who, for many years, bid bon voyage to departing ships and greeted returning ones. The Waving Girl was also the name given to a 105-foot yacht built soon after Intermarine Savannah began operations under new ownership last year. Originally used for fabrication of large mine-hunters for the Navy, the facility is now dedicated to the repair, refit and new construction of large yachts. After several additional deliveries in the interim, another Intermarine Savannah fiberglass yacht has been christened in honor of her birthplace.
Crew can use the dinette forward of the galley, as there is a formal dining room on the main deck.
Savannah is the fourth new yacht delivered under the new ownership. Savannah's interior is a quiet blend of medium-tone tanganyika wood and light cream leather. Tanganyika, a hardwood in the walnut family, is used for cabinetry as well as bulkhead accents. A sophisticated Light Touch system electronically controls built-in lighting. The galley is a nice combination of marbles, granites, wood and stainless steel, and features a first-rate appliance list.
