Wow, that's BIG--is it privately owned?

Click the red HD button and then the icon just to the right of it for a cleaner, fullscreen picture.

Duh right? Not everybody knows this :wink:

Thanks Captain Brandi and Ruth...I would never have known...
loria, quite a picture...not exactly the image I perceive for "sailboat"
Joshie, did you see it?

Thanks for locating it. I had forgotten where I left it.
Sawed that board three times and it is still too short...

As impressive as that is....it's kinda ugly. It looks like they were conflicted when they designed it. I think maybe I just didn't like the attempt at blending old style and modern style. But, what the heck do I know. I'm a land-lubber....
Still waiting to return to St. John!

Thanks for the video Ruth. I didn't know she had been in these parts. as alreadly posted she is for sale. I don't know the price. A few months ago a 40 foot sailboat ran into her side just outside of San Fran Bay. when i have time i'll post some pics of her interior.

Ok I have time

hmmm Kirk, thanks for the inside view...looks sort of vader-esque...

but i do think that the sail technology is pretty cool.

I think it is kind of grotesque. Too contemporary for my taste.

Personally, I don't know that I can pass judgement based on a video and a few photos.
I honestly think it would it take me at least a week (or maybe two) on that boat to decide if I like it or not.
If necessary, I am willing to tough it out and report back here.

I think it's ugly without the sails up, and the interior is too "80's cocaine dealer" looking for my tastes. :D
