Largest Private Yacht in World Launched

[San Juan Sailor]

Wow! Such excess. And I I'm worried about spending 10k fixing up my boat. Check it out;

Why????????????????, so you can watch your own boat sink, and endanger your own life. That sounds a wee bit drastic to me.......i2f

There's big money in stolen fuel!

Not impressed. Only two helipads? Cheap bastard.

From yesterday's 'Lectronic Latitude, comes an interesting article that includes the following factoids:

* * *

"The megayacht cost $300 million when launched in '08. The bath knobs cost $40,000, but are custom, so don't go looking for them at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

"The master suite is 2,583 square feet, and is surrounded by bomb proof 44 millimeter glass. The company that built the glass, like a lot of the subcontractors, went bankrupt because of the novelty of the orders. The total living space is 23,600 square feet."

okay, let's see. He has a missile detection system, and my boat has one as well. (It's called radar.) He has a roof in the master cabin so that he can sleep under the stars with his girlfriend, and I have two large hatches in my master cabin, so that I can sleep under the stars with his girlfriend. So far we're even, except that I spent $800,000,000 less (and get better fuel mileage.)

That second helipad though, that's a nice feature. I think he's got me there.

but just remember it is easer to get a camal through the eye of a neddle than it is to get a rich man into heaven

Bash, you devil! With all his security features, Andrey Melnichenko is probably safe from you - but I wonder if your vessel's security features will make you safe from him when he finds out about you and Aleksandra, his wife?

Uh-oh.

Nice but can it be waxed in a weekend?

[nigel1]

With all that black s**t from the funnels, the crew are going to be kept busy with the mops and buckets

[virginia boy]

I wonder if two skiffs full of somalians with rusty AK's could take em? I'm bettin not.

Yikes. I could have sworn she said, "girlfriend."

On the other hand, any yachtsman who doesn't know better than to buy hull #1.....

Could definitely use advice & help from the Engines & Propulsion Systems section here on CF - just think how much better it would run after a tune up - and nm per gal would improove to 0.000000000000000001

Think they need an invite to Cruiser's Forum so they can get that thing ship-shape
