Re: Who has the biggest yacht?
It?s not my boat?. But the memory is.
In 1994 I had the opportunity to tour one of the top three largest sailing personal youghts in the world (at that time). If my memory serves me correctly it was 156 feet long and had a mast that was well over 60 feet tall. It was owned by Rupert Murdoch = Fox News.
It was through a series of friends that I connected with the vessel?s Skipper and was able to go aboard. Paying respect to the ship?s owner we did not enter the private quarters, all remaining areas were open for viewing.
What struck me in awe was the redundancy: all electronics, navigational and power systems (side-by-side Mercedes diesels) had a complete matching twin, yet seperate. The engine room was spotless, cleaner than most restaurant kitchens I have seen.
For me, a good ole? boy living in the foot-hills of Ore-E-gun it was a once in a life time experience.
