I think the owner would be pretty pissed off if it was not worth more than $60m as well

Well they both made the front page of the morning herald as none of the locals knew they were turning up.

The secret belongs to Nancy Walton of Walmart heiressness.

My Sky is in Gunwharf at the moment. She appears to be a new launch from Heeson. Anyone know about it?

Didn't get a pic though......

I gather these enormous yachts all vary from one to another, but they almost all follow the same "giant speedboat" flavour.

Is anyone building anything purposely old-fashioned or deliberately non-sporty in the way they look?

Nero is a hideous wet dream of a less rich owner. Rarely chartered and spunked 30 million the week it was launched.

It was for sale for under €40m, so it doesn't belong in this thread hehe
in 2012 it was for sale at 98m. the irony is when i first set eyes on the thing i though 'chinese junk''
having read it was built at a chinese shipyard i face palmed.

he did see it- it was 99 percent finished before he died. Stark sued his estate as he wasn't paid-i can see why. it's like the other submarine boat he designed for that russian.

Did it ever get finished and is it afloat?

Yes it was finished. Jobs estate did n't pay the designer Philippe Starck. The boat was impounded until the matter was resolved. Starck should stick to designing bottle openers and orange juicers. The boat is terrible in every way. It divides opinion which essentially means it's worth a quarter what it cost.

Starck s such a wker, He litigated over his fee then sold a story to vanity fair about Jobs called him personally and he never called him back.
