Here we are, proudly displaying my new radio room installation on the yacht ‘Rosenkavalier’ (ex ‘Serena’). Behind me to the left is the new Marisat M3055, having just replaced the even older Marisat M305 (all satellite calls had to be prior booked by telex, only two operational voice channels available). These were the very first satellite terminals ever fitted to any yacht. The massive dome was installed inside a false funnel, then removed as ‘Rosenkavalier’, then put back some time later when resold !
