At that length it is a bit miniature to be a "super"yacht - but then again it is a Wally so maybe you have to judge it by different criteria.

It doesn't 'look' 63ft from that photo.....unless it was from 2miles away.....

Totally agree with that!

Nah don't agree I think the Wally 63, and 73 are the best of the Power designs, always IMHumbleO.

A super yacht is called so when it is over eighty feet normally or 24 m PLUS, and this is normally so because legally a lot changes when a yacht goes above that size. Altough this many times is sort of turned around with hull or waterline length. I mean for legal registration terms.

Relying on a fuel gauge is never good, they are hopelessly inaccurate at best. Bad, bad seamanship by poor amateurs on a motor cruiser. Giving that as an excuse is just pathetic and MBM supporting it is even worse.
p.s.
I reckon at least £10,000,000 before anything starts being Super!

It passed me at full speed in Pevensey Bay about 10 minutes earlier, it actually changed course towards me then veered away, I wondered what the he'll it was and got a good pic of it at full speed which I'll post later.

Faulty gauge blamed? Rubbish. You put X thousand litres in the tanks, cruise for Y hours burning Z litres of fuel and don't know what fuel your tanks should have remaining. No, I put the responsibility squarely on the skipper.
