What the devil is this?
I spotted this craft during Kiel Week. Anybody got a clue what it could be or possibly which billionaire owns it? (Sorry about the image size but I only had a mobile available.)
The only clue I can give is a huge "A" on the transom. Abramovich perhaps??

Just that - at once - Abramovich!
We saw one of the yachts of Abramovich in Bozburne (Turkey) - a large boat with a helicopter deck. Her name is - "Aurora."

Is this the shape of things to come and would this have any application on a cruising sailboat?

I plan to have reverse bows on my Harryproa, with some flare coming just before crossbeams

Little otter. You might want to add at least one more zero to that figure.

Kai Nui ...closer to 2 more zeros.... Rule of thumb on a Feadship standard superyacht is about 1 million Euro per meter to cut the mustard.... Grey poupon or otherwise
