    I find it interesting that Al Mirqab's interior is a totally different style from the owner's business jet (a wide-body designed by a major French studio).

    yes, the scale of this vessel is actually quite impressive - these are some photos from the launch in 2008.

    The only video game I've ever played is that Ping Pong one back in the '70's.

    However.......... I think I could loose a couple of days with those.

    "Al Mirqab" is one of Heywood's more famous modern designs and he shed some light into the owner's sort-of brief for the build. "The owner wanted a yacht in a similar style [to "Pelorus"], but with capacity for a much larger number of guests and family cabins, an internal swimming pool with balconies, a large gym, sauna, hairdressing saloon, and all the features we now take for granted on large-scale yachts."
