Maritime luxury, it seems, comes in twos: two helipads, two pools, a missile defence system, a mini-submarine, even an "anti-paparazzi shield" that fires beams of light at camera lenses - the list of boys' toys expected to feature on Eclipse, the latest yacht commissioned by the Chelsea FC owner, Roman Abramovich, makes quite an inventory. At 167 metres long and costing at least £300m (some say twice as much), she will be the world's longest and most expensive yacht - eclipsing Dubai, the superyacht owned by the emir of the UAE state. Abramovich is expected to take delivery of his peerless craft this year.
