Big Superboat

This is my big superboat. Of course I don't own, just run it. Leaving Corinth Canal, Greece, heading to France. Doesn't catch air, doesn't need to, we just go through it.

I was going to guess an honest 8-10 ...... I was kinda close LOL

15-18ft sees? no thanks.

At the dock, tip of my cap rail is 13 feet to the waterline. So give or take a foot or two in seas. When you are hand steering for 15 hours to get out of it, it's all relative. Ya just hope nothing breaks at that point, otherwise, good thing for sat phones and liferafts. We ran through it, and many other storms, and we are just a small yacht nowadays.

But it pays for my SB improvements, if I ever get to use it.

VERY COOL

Boat is 151' Delta all glass. We do splash about. Actually the previous owner had this built identically to another on . However that shipyard was out of business, so no big deal. Only 2 in the world of this type. I am the captain, kiss asser to owner, ass kissee to my 8 crew

Wonder if John can step up to build a 150 y2k with 3 big turbines?or 10 300s across the stern.

it would make the local tie-bar salesman VERY happy

Yea, the owner would make Jacos very happy as well. Matter of fact, he makes a lot of venders happy to the tune of usually 3 mil a year.

Ain't cheap to have fun on the water. We all know that though....
