One of my favourite yachts, Ngoni, is for sale, not quite £60 million but much more my type of boat:

Jeheezuz that's a *nice* boat.
So much better than the ones with dyna rig, eg Maltese Falcon and Black Pearl

Agreed and one of Royal Huisman's latest is a real stunner as well, 81m Sea Eagle 2:

You'd be ahead of me. If I was to take ownership of that thing today, at zero cost, I'd be bankrupt by tea-time!

Set for life, they said. Yeah, as long as I'm under a bus by 5pm.

It's rare that something so expensive seems cheap but that's in the category for me. The mast top image tells a tale

I'm going to get my boaty terminology wrong here, but I do prefer, on my gigantic sailing yacht, a sloop sail plan as opposed to a fully rigged type ship.

Somehow more athletic and elegant. All just IMO.

Royal Huisman's latest concept "Apex 850" 85 meter sloop should be your kind of boat then:

Yup. Like a colossal version of the toys on the lake in the park. Lovely.

watched this before, absolutely nuts!

how long must it have taken to get the boat fitted out with all that stuff inside!

to be rich enough to buy and maintain something like that is nuts

also wondering how stable these boats are, there are is so much stuff on them like vases and glasses, surely they all fall down!

Ace is a lovely boat.

It cost a lot to keep a boat like that going but dare I say, this is "nothing" to compare with other vessels.

They have state of the art stabilisers so no issue with movements. Every single piece of art, vase or glasses you see have dedicated space when under way. Every single cupboards, shelves have sea fastening equipment.

The only thing not well equipped for rough sea is generally the crew...biggrinvomit

Totally agree. So much bling and shinyness, its harsh on the eyes.

ACE is actually sobre on the eyes to compare with many.

Always liked Kismet:

I saw that whilst at Irvine beach yesterday, looks like the tender followed on before heading round the south of Arran. Nice looking toy!
