    It's been quite a few years, but wasn't it converted from a floating fuel can to a yacht? If so, it it will probably need Branson's bank account to keep it on plane. ;)

    Good find Dave.

    It never got converted in the end. It sat for years in a yard in France and then in Palma, Spain.

    This crew got her up and running and brought her back to the UK on her own bottom. There's a video on the FB page of her starting-up for the first time in years.
