Re: Andrej Melnitschenko 's new mega toy?

Fugly, plain & simple. Evidently money doesn't buy taste. Not that such is new, nor an epiphany

I would take the old J boat Shamrock over that (whatever it is) any day of the week. Some sailboat, probably has 20 thousand horsepower Mann Diesels in it. I watched the one video, you can't even dock it without a tug boat. Whats the point.

Hell, I'd take Shamrock over any other yacht out there .... except another J. Endeavour perhaps.

The point is to show the world that the owner has more money than anyone else. If you asked him he would no doubt claim that he wanted to "push the envelope of yacht design" or "create something entirely new" or some such rhetoric. It's always about ego.
