Well.. this sail yacht looks like well.. not a sail yacht

Yesterday I sail with my Dehler 38 and came across this beast.
It was next to Tel Aviv marina and it seemed to be the larger sail boat in the world. 450,000 $ and it is yours.

Thanks for posting, but are you sure about the price? Or have I missed something?

A few noughts missing there methinks.

Isn't that three zeros short?

I still think it's ugly!

might not be - something like that ship can be as much of a liability as an asset.

I'll take the money off you thanks but you can keep the "yacht". You'd have to pay me considerably more than that to take it off your hands....... I suppose if I'm being generous I can just about see the point in it, after all once you are getting into these floating gin palaces it's all about showing off and having something bigger/better/more expensive whatever than the next wheeler dealer on the block so I suppose he has at least achieved that.

I've never seen a foto of that thing with sails set - probably 'cos it cant sail. And its so ugly I cant be arsed googling it.
