Ok I just got to say WHAT AN UGLY FRICKIN BOAT!!! It looks like a cross between toilet bowl freshener (the kind that holds the blue hockey puck thing) and an over sized R2D2 squatting on a submarine. Oh and as a design element lets just chop off a chunk of the stern and create a visual line that has no corresponding design element any where else on the boat. Why is is that when some one ponies up a giant pile of dough and commotions a supermegagiaganto yacht it is required to be white and have big black lines for windows running from one end to the other or some where in the middle. And all the people clammering to say how beautiful it is makes me think that few people can differentiate between big and elegant. Every once in a while some one steps out of the box and you get something interesting like this.

Oh look windows all in a row that don't look like a parking stripe in an airport. Now if you are going to tool around in gagillion dollar yacht, Why not tell your designer to use this as his inspiration.

I'm on a super yacht right now that I met while in Marseille where she was having a small yard stay. Next door was another boat, roughly the same length (192' in the case of Ulysses, the boat I'm on) and painted completely gray! I was obviously designed to resemble a warship, right down to the military style numbers on the stern and from a distance could probably have passed for a destroyer or frigate. Seems to be a trend lately, if you can't build the biggest, build the scariest.

Wouldn't that trend be all about pirate protection?
