New Multi Million $$$ Yacht rolls

[dpmulvey]

There is a lot more to this than meets the eye. Why was the designing Captain was fired more than 1/2 way through the project. Why was a custom built $10 million yacht launched like an 18' bow rider in a location that has ample heavy lift equipment to do the job correctly. Why were the recommendations of certified naval engineers ignored? When all is said and done, there will be a lot of fecal waste colliding with more than one oscillating mechanism.

Sounds like the owner may be partially to blame.

That's a BIG pucker moment! Man that sucks. How could you trust that thing after that?

Well at least it happened there instead of 100 miles off shore.

Should there not be some sort of automatic ballast system? That just sucks!!

This is just sad to see:




And


The dreams of so many in ruin.

Is this on the hard deck or is floating on it's own?

She is sitting on the hard (appears to be on the same dolly/trailer used at launch), the property where she sits is owned by another yard in town. There are some lights aimed at her port side, but I did not see anyone around during my trip. Rumor around town is that very little (if anything) was done to salvage her systems.

Wait, didn't they legalize marijuana out in that part of the country? That might explain a thing or two. I wonder if the designers were having a bad case of the munchies as they drew that pig up.....

from hidden mic. inside corporate headquarters...

"Hey Marv, what if we built it taller than it was long, and made it 1/2 the width??!!!"

"Cool man! Pass me some more of those brownies!"

i agree she is fugly, but still its sad to see.

It looks like a 180 footer that got squashed from bow to stern.

Now back to our regularly scheduled banter.....

...may be this is the owner's car :grin:
