I’ll bear it in mind when I want to downsize.

Tried to watch it, but the lurching quality of the video was a 'turn-off'.
Besides, my wife's name is Alice....

I'm an engineer. Far too many sales buzzwords, well out my price range (and I suspect the price range of many small countries) and I can't see any sails. Green they say.

They say the whole ship is powered by methanol and produces no CO2 emissions. What happens to the carbon in the methanol when they extract the hydrogen for the fuel cells?

An eco megayacht! How lovely!
A water-park on a 'yacht'...They'll be trying to hype 'eco' ski-chalets with their own built-in dry slopes next. Or golf mansions at Trumpery-a-lago with their own pitch n' putt...
And an antique 50yr old helicopter design - is that to add quaintness and atmosphere I wonder? Oh well, perhaps I'm being churlish and it runs on cow-farts from the manger on #2 deck...(in the shade under the glass-fish-tank swimming-pool that enables the cretins on board to have a swim - while being on the ocean.)
That'll be why they need all those plants on deck then, to feed the bloody cows!
How ludicrous does it get?
And as for fugly - this makes toyboat A look like the height of good taste!

Methanol is carbon neutral not zero carbon. The carbon comes out of the atmosphere, goes into the methanol then back it into the atmosphere.
( I'm sure someone will come along to do the science bit, but that's the rough idea)

And what about the production of the ship. Is that carbon neutral?
