How the other half live...

This has just dropped anchor in Thorness Bay western Solent, all 175 ft of it...

but would it make you happy ?

 

[Davy_S]

Yes, i would sell it and trouser the cash.

 

[FlyingGoose]

Not for me I like to sail a boat ,and even cook dodgy food and feel like when I get some were I have achieved the dizzy heights of sailing.
That thing , you press a few buttons the crew feed and clean for you and all the buzzy boats that will annoy you like fly's coming over to see how famous I am, or Drones flying over my head buzzing me with all my semi naked female hanger on's loving me

OH wait I; VE CHANGED MY MIND

 

[Tomaret]

Well, it wouldn't make me sad.

Love the opening sections on the topsides! The yacht is an engineering triumph, a money-no-object production (which I suppose is easier when you own the yard). And it has a 71-ton lifting keel.

Interesting track. Did the French turn him away I wonder.

Anyone know why she flies a UK Ensign? Thought she was owned by a German businessman ?

It might well do but it wouldn't be practical, I'd get lost if I went below...

They appear to be uncertain about where they are. There are four, maybe more, courtesy ensigns being shown.

Following shipping lane, then crossing at 90 degree? Were't likely to tack into the current NEasterly were they!

Would you rather be miserable in 30ft yacht or a 175ft yacht?

Glad you like my new toy pvb wait till you see my tender

Never realised the Solent looked like that and its so sunny.
Always thought the Solent was jam packed with thousands of boats with red faced skippers all shouting at each other regards Col Regs and Mobos making wash and not giving way.
Shame they cannot afford some sort of anchor. Traditional fisherman would be best ?
Just how wrong can one be about somewhere. ?

I didn’t realise @Thriftyarek888 was actually going to build the darn thing...!!
