    The Classic "Shamrock V" (J Class America's Cup) meets the Ultramodern "VENUS" (Steven Jobs).
    Venus was anchored off Vouliagmeni....and Shamrock circled the Venus to admire her.. or not ?? Classsic meets the Ultramodern...Amazing...

    The more I look at M/Y Venus the more I love her. And in a way she is kind of a Ultramodern interruption of a classic motor yacht. Great picture by the way.

    Cheers,

    This is exactly what i also feel about VENUS, initially I was very negative about this vessel but the more I look at it the more it attracts my attention..
    Thanks for your comment.

    I find it ill-proportioned and the stern is hideous.

    It seams that Venus has not any visible deck equipment or windlasses on deck, I am sure the crew will be facing practical problems when mooring.
