Comment from Ferretti
Seen at the bottom of the article:
"Entertaining guests on a yacht is much more special than just bringing them to your villa," he said.
"Rich people can go to a beautiful hotel and pay $3,000 a night for a suite. The trouble is that when you go down the lift you're in the lobby with people who paid 20 times less. My clients don't like that."
How sad, to be proud of having customers with such mentality...
...can they accept to share the earth with people struggling for food on a daily basis? /forums/images/icons/frown.gif

Stabilisation at anchor
3 methods. Stabiliser fins that flap, computer controlled - that's what will be fitted to this yacht. Big water ballast tanks where the water moves suddenly from port to starboard, over an internal sluice (Feadship's system). Spinning gyros like the mitsubishi system recently being installed on Ferretti yachts, suitable for smaller boats say 18m to 30m

Re: Comment from Ferretti
That's one of the thoughts that I cheer myself up with sometimes when berthed somewhere posh, with lots of huge expensive yachts towering around us. And it doesn't have to be that big to be worth more than 20 times what I paid for Evadne.
