must be for clearance, if it heads to the great lakes there are some low fixed bridges. But it really doesn't look that tall. | |

Knotta yacht, but unquestionably... without a doubt... the fastest boat in the yacht flocking thread... my neighbor's 28' Skater with *TRIPLE* 300X's. THIS boat is where the term "Godspeed" came from! (I'd estimate 130 mph +)

In the movie Bell, Book, and Candle Gillian Holroyd's cat is named Pyewacket, but the cat itself was a Siamese cat, not a black cat — the type most commonly associated with witches. The name has become a fairly popular one for cats because of this movie, but relatively few know its origin. Pyewacket is also the current name of a MaxZ86 class sailing yacht commissioned in 2004 by Roy Disney, former CEO of the Walt Disney Corporation, designed by Reichel-Pugh along with an identical sister ship named the "Morning Glory," and built in the Cooksons shipyard in Auckland, New Zealand. The boat is a modern turbo sled, equipped with a hydraulically equipped canting keel which allows it to shift its keel-ballast during full sail in order to reach previously unbelievable speeds. The boat was recently donated to Orange Coast College in hopes of a full season of record breaking racing by amateur student sailors.
