rick stoehrer Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 for those itching to see what it may be like to have more money than you could possibly know what to do with....http://www.pressherald.com/news/Tenth-largest-yacht-in-world-docks-in-Portland.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Crouse Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Even if I had that much I still wouldn't do that with it. Of course I'm in no danger of having to make those decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 If I had a ton of money to burn, I can see getting a nice 20-30' sail boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Allen Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Boats: "holes in the water in to which you pour money". I'm glad my boat makes a very small hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Sylvester Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 From free man in Paris to bound and shackled to this bill every year......Nice... but it needs three masts and sails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintail Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Ag, shame, man! Only one helipad?(BTW: I have read, somewhere, that you may count on roughly ten percent of cost of construction for annual running expenses!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcosloy Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 For whatever its worth, research shows that those who have more than they need are no happier than those who have what they need! I just feel sorry for those who don't even have what they need! What about people like me who already have 2 boats and are hankering for a third? Am I on the cusp of catching a bit of the illness that David Geffen suffers from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leong Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) From free man in Paris to bound and shackled to this bill every year......Nice... but it needs three masts and sails.Paul,You can have your yawls, ketches and schooners. Heck, I like em with one mast like a Sunfish or Laser. You can buy some big and fancy sloops too. A few years ago I paddled over to the Mirabella V (the world’s largest sloop) to have a close look. A crewmember said I could charter her for only $240K/week. I decided to stick to my QCC, Seda and Epic kayaks.The other day the sloop Salute sailed in for routine maintenance. She’s a little smaller, but even more elegant in my opinion. And she’s for sale too (about $75 million). Here’s a pic that I snapped of her sitting on a floating dock.LeonPSThose mega-stinkpots sure are ugly. I'm surprised that Larry Ellison, of America's Cup, Oracle Team USA fame would own a stinkpot as his personal mega-yacht. They burn over 500 gallons an hour while underway.

Pintail Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Yes, I think it is the "yacht" (read: ship) of Larry Ellison that has a helipad at <each end>! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
