Not really "drool..." but much of that information is known already...I am not sure about a missle defence and/or detection system.

The 'Daily Mail' is a low brow tabloid newspaper, known for its exaggeration. This report is typical of the paper.

Hi,
That's not a bad description of the Daily Mail Rag, A good example is their claim that it costs £78,000 to fill Pelorus from empty. That wouldn't be enough to get much more than 150,000 Lts - a lot less than she no doubt holds.
There are many 50-60m yacts that could spend that amount on re-fuelling if they are private yachts and play the game correctly.

Pretty good review and a bunch of interior photos of Dubai in this months YACHTS INTERNATIONAL magazine. Gives a bit of her history (which was news to me / perhaps not to others) about her build process which was stalled and changed hands mid process due to budget over runs.
Incredible interior detail, and still an amazingly beautiful boat. Not my interior decorating preference, but stunning none the less.
Review starts on page 56, and can also be found online through the periodicals website.
Enjoy-

Sorry, I would have linked that had I known it to be there.
I however use Firefox and don't get the pleasure of being bombarded with ads, banners, pop-ups and the like. Thus, I don't see what's in the sponsors banners and such.
The link you posted to the PDF appears to be the same write up.
Much thanks for the additional reference on Dubai.

Same reasons I use Firefox, plus the additional security over Microsoft's product.

Great thread this makes me feel right at home
-Debating how to measure length
-misleading press articles
-sarcasm
great stuff and good reading. I remember reading a magazine a few years back that seemed to do a yearly issue on this topic. I am amazed at the wealth some people can acquire at an early age, 41 years old and he started by selling plastic ducks, now he has a fleet of three yachts and one of them is the largest private vessel in us. I knew I should not have started my career selling dog food  | |
