"Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?"
(credit for this joke goes to Alex Beam, from many years ago when he was still funny)
Don't be ridiculous
Alex Beam was never funny.
His main reason for why he
His main reason for why he sailed in to Boston , I heard he went over to East Boston and bought some Real Estate .
I assume that thing has
I assume that thing has hidden torpedo tubes in front. And depth charge barrels in back.
We would
assume! Otherwise it's a lemon.
Why are people so impressed
Why are people so impressed with the ultra-rich and their big, expensive toys? I wonder how many thousands of people could have been fed using the money spent to construct this waste of space. How big of a boat could one couple possibly need? smh.
Good points, and yet ...
This Giant Thing was sitting in the harbor for several days. That's what was interesting to me.
Not built by robots
Hundreds of people were fed for a couple of years when they built this. It was built in Britain and employed a lot of people.
That's similar to the excuse my mother ...
... uses when she explains why she is courteous to telemarketers and robo calls.
Those people would have been better employed building something useful.

More useful? Like what saving
More useful? Like what saving the world?
Not necessarily true...
I wouldn't be shocked if a good percentage of the boat was in fact made by robots.
But really
If you read the first article Adam posted, from here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2110341/Kirsty-Bertarelli-yacht-...

So, show us your shocked face.

Green sailing yacht?
Did anybody catch the name of the very large sailing yacht with a green hull tied up right near the Vava? I couldn't get an angle to see it. By the size of the stick, I'm guessing the boat was around 140 feet.
I'd kill to take the wheel on something like that. Power boats, not really.
With the chilipepper flag (and spinnaker too)
Then its the SY Christopher
Mighty sweet (and alot less than $160M)
Is this the same yacht and
Is this the same yacht and same people who made themselves so many friends in New York last week when they anchored the ship in front of the Statue of Liberty?
Coast Guard or Harbor Patrol said what they did was legal because it was a spot that wasn't blocking a navigation channel on wasn't within the security limits of the island, but it really obnoxiously ruined a lot of people's views of the statue- anybody going by on a boat trying to take a picture of the Statue had his yacht in the foreground.
No, it wasn't
Which you could've probably figured out in about 30 seconds of searching on, oh, something like "New York harbor yacht statue of liberty," which would have gotten you a ton of stories like this one.
Too big for my
bathtub.
