It's even funnier to see lots of freeboard... and NO pilothouse! This Nordhavn looks like it's been chasing low bridges...

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 +)

Per Wikipedia:
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.

This boat is a VERY modernized Huckins with jet drives! Not one to be appreciated by Huckins purists (myself included), but still a nice boat.
Its on the market for $2.3M http://bartbrak.com/main.php?-vessel...2922&curr_id=7

Correct. I sold her in March 2005 to a couple in Annapolis. "Windrush" is a 55' Trumpy built in 1966. You may have seen her in previous years at Vintage Weekend at Ocean Reef under her previous ownership. She is currently doing crewed charters.
