[senormechanico]

Somehow it reminds me of a gigantic refrigerator.

Not important, he has at least ensured that many Dutch not lost their (Steve) job.

That's what they used to say about the Mac, as I recall.

Those of us who bought into Apple below $100 per share might subscribe to a different aesthetic.

Regardless, to give Steve his due, it's prettier than any yacht I've ever designed.

I'm not a big fan of the outside but that's probably because the lines are so flat and boxy. I bet the inside is amazing. Has anyone see photos of the inside? If so, post a link!

Steve Jobs to mom, "Remember how I always wanted a boat like to drew in second grade?"

It is a philip Starck design and about 60-70 mtrs in length. Minimalistic design was the motto of Steve Jobs.

Van Lent is about 5kms away from my present homeport.

This was a post mortem launch .....

Been to a few 'post mortem lunches' as i've got older but not one 'post mortem launch'

I see De Vries Leistch have their yard next door to where it was built........

ooks like someone took an Miami apartment building and stuck a bow on it.

YUCK

Whatever the design, it's a pity he didn't live to see it to completion.

I like it and want it. Please advise where I can pick it up.

De Vries and Van Lent form together a partnership called Feadship.
They are located on the same Waterway approx 8 km separated.

De Vries Lentsch was a different company shipyard located in Amsterdam but they do not exist anymore.
The designer, Willem de Vries Lentsch, is still working as naval architect.

Yeah... but what ya wanna bet that their iradar won't show up on other radar screens, and their iais will only be compatible with another ship if it's an iyacht too...

And don't even get me started on ianchors.. prolly won't set in most mud.

Only special imud...

I'll bet it's fast . . . fast & fugly. Interior is probably amazing. I imagine the bridge looks something like this:

Notice the twin Satellite dish domes on top.

Nothing like putting your name in neon when you enter port to announce you have arrived.

Makes me wonder what was in his head while he was ordering her...

I guess hope really does float...
