readers of this thread will want to check out //www.superyachtsociety.com for a belly laff or two.  in doing so, don't miss Ghost.  Click the "Finalist" link, then "Sail 36 M+" and then scroll down.

Ghost makes the venerable Maxi Dolphin look positively sardine -like

Why would anyone have thumbnails on a web site that enlarge only to business card sized images?  Am I missing something?

Can't only be irritating to me, is it?
I know the rich need their privacy but this is rediculous!;)

the pic of those two gents there in the "cockpit" is an absolute hoot.  are those leather couches?  the mates seem to disdain them.  "couches?  COUCHES!?  we don't need no steekeeng COUCHES!

The boat could use some La-Z-Boy recliners. I didn't see any cupholders either.

A boat like that needs a deck mounted bow thruster
....to remind us of the sultry days of summer....

Saw this the other day.  what's Jimmy's boat doing up in New Yack?  seems awfully far afield from A1A & Margaritaville &c.

My god is that a pretty boat! Sure wish I were a trust fund baby!

Interesting to note what prominent sailboat designers chose for their personal boat.

Capt. Nat Herreshoff designed for himself the 26' "Alerion III"

When Capt. Nat was in his seventies and living in Florida, he sailed a 30' K/CB "Pleasure"

Joel White sailed a Bridges Point 24 named "Ellisha" after his grandaughter

Phil Rhodes sailed a wooden 25 footer named "Nixie"

Carl Alberg sailed a 26' Pearson Commander named after his wife "Alma"

Bob Perry sails a 26' Cirrus called "Perrywinkle"


"Pleasure"
