I do not wish to be rude, but what has synthetic fuel got do with the B-V Sigma? I can't see the relation, maybe I missed something.

Should we be asking about that El Capitan? Unless you worked with the interior while in build I am not sure that we will know. Unless for some miracle she features on the ISS.

The owners know the curiosity this vessel has generated and have been graciously and surprisingly open with details about it. Also, secrets of this magnitude are hard to keep. Plus it seems the next logical direction of this thread.

Earlier in the thread there was a discussion about the cost of refueling the Sigma. To fill it's tank was something around one million dollars. I was pointing out that with the use of alternative fuels this will help drive the costs down to refuel such huge Yachts such as Sigma lets face it even billionaires like to save money from time to time

That would probably have been better placed on the thread: "From $2.00 gas to $5.00 gas in 4 years".

I agree, I like the smooth soft look except for the spaghetti on top. Plus there will be very few yachts its size, or even half its size, that will stay with it in rough seas.

Hi Remi,

Thanx for sharing these photos!
Her design is not my favorite style but sometimes I love to see
something different.
Altough it's not my favorite style i think Mr. Starck, and off course
the people at Blohm & Voss, has create a nice piece of art.
