Saw this in Cartagena today, according to the BBC a few days ago it was impounded in Gibraltar as the Russian owner still owed a few million of the £350m it cost to build. The middle mast is apparently 300ft high.

We saw it in Kiel dry dock last June. Just the 3 masts sticking out of the top of the enclosure. It is huge!

$400 million of ugly. Or maybe pounds, can't remember. Owner's rep said that the 'misunderstanding' about the outstanding $15.5 owing would be sorted ASAP, so I guess a Russian with a suitcase of cash arrived in Gibraltar recently.

Masts as tall as Big Ben, 8 decks levels and a crew of 58. The world's largest sailing yacht, apparently.

When I first looked at the picture I thought it was a barge towing wind turbines out to sea!!!

It's called "Sailing Yacht A" and the owner also owns "Motor Yacht A" which is up for sail if you have a spare £200M though he might be open to an offer. :)

Fell out of the ugly tree, hit every branch on the way down and landed on its face. Even uglier than Steve Job's monstrosity

This is his old yacht he is now sailing.

It takes all sorts, don`t suppose the sails will be hoisted on a daily basis.

I did make contact and made him an offer, which was declined. I susequently found out my offer was £4.31 under his reserve price. Shame I could not scape up the difference. :)
