Imagine how many jobs they create with it, building them, crew, etc. and for us yacht lovers-spotters, it's a toppic.

About "it being to bigg to enter in certain places", what do they care they have toy's to go there..... I wonder how big their biggest "dingy" will be,..... maybe 80 or 90', think of LGB who has a "toy" sailing - and a "toy" motor boat I would love to have.


Paul Allen owns 3 mega yachts all over 300 feet...My calculations if Bill Gates would own a boat...he could build one thats around 3 or more miles long...if I'm correct..since he has around 45 billion dollars. I suppose that when one has billions of dollars, anything is possible.
