Bezos a sailor too (slightly different scale than Zuckerberg)

It's not about sailing - it's his entry in the billionaires dick swinging contest.

This boat is a monstrosity....I wonder whether Bezos sails at all

You mean a monster, ok. And why wonder or worry about Bezos?

I bet he’s got enough brains to know how to set an autopilot, or even which way to turn the wheel. Unlike you when you'd grown out of your Optimist and you turned the wrong way, jibed the boat, and the boom flattened your head. Or do you have a degree in electrical engineering and computer science?

If I ever be billionaire I will buy one of these to serve as personal yacht. I heard that used ones are quite cheap. Just weld few office blocks on top of it and call it a day. There wont be larger one in Monte Carlo when I park this on the bay.

Needless to say, I wont be a billionaire...

 

[SloopJonB]

That would be too low rent for Monaco.

Now this...

The way things are going, it's only a matter of time.

Fun Fact:

Y721 for Jeff Bezos is underway on pontoons but there is a slight problem. It has to pass a monumental bridge called "De Hef".
It has to be temporarily partly demolished and build up again. 


The only alternative is to take out the middle part. 

Jeff and the wharf Oceano Yacht split the bill.
Peanuts money for world richest Amazon founder owner.

Is that the actual deck planking?  If so, it looks bizarre. 

 

[LakeBoy]

OK, so the scale is unusual

Yes, it can be considered a historical monument

However, is this really different from a "normally large" yachts being moved down a street from one location to another that requires traffic signals, signs and overhead wires to be temporarily removed to allow a one time passage?

Is this the rig design developed undercover?

"This Windjammer Project is a 86 meter (loa) three-masted barque. Her hull will be from Alustar aluminium, the masts from aluminium to the height of the cross-trees, then carbon fibre. The yards (also carbon fibre) will feature ingenious in-yard furling for the square sails.

This project is a design study."

if I was going to build a mega yacht, I appreciate the design, at least it looks like a boat.

That would be too low rent for Monaco.

Now this...

Just a wee bit longer and I could use it to land and take off in my Cessna Cardinal.  Now that would be FUN!  If I could still afford to fly a Cardinal.  Flying is something retired folks don’t do.

I like Jaloponiks rake on the project and it's proud owner....
