the superrich can spend their money any way they want, I really dont care. If you buy that thing for a lot of money, either somethings seriously wrong with either your taste, or you have hired a crazy designer.

That tincan is really ugly.

I gave it an 8, only for the fact that she's got sails. Why waste a perfectly good breeze?

Other than that, she looks very military.

This is my favorite, I even built a model of her back in my Sophomore year in college:

I'm no yacht enthusiast, and I couldn't tell you which yacht was this or that or whose, but I do love looking at them (and imagining having one lol.) And I do appreciate the beauty of a disgustingly excessively large boat. Or anything on the sea for that matter.

That being said, I think it does look kind of awkward with the sails down. I think the shape of the boat was designed to be looked upon under full sail. The lines of the hull, which look gaudy and "aggressive" only make the angle and shape of the masts look more awkward. Shame we don't have a picture of it under full sail. Because I believe that once the sails are up, those lines will complement the angle of the sails, and the sails themselves will fill in the intended "shape" that the ship was designed to convey. It looks awkward and ill designed now. I think under full sail it will be absolutely beautiful. Just my thoughts.

The ship also contains garages for four vehicles and a submarine, and a helipad on the bow.

The superyacht has been impounded after the shipbuilder said it was still owed millions in fees

According to documents seen by German media, Nobiskrug is demanding an outstanding payment of €9.8m, as well as €5.5m for subcontractors and interest charges. Its registered owned is Valla Yachts Ltd, a Bermuda company.

Gibraltar court official, Admiralty Marshal Liam Yeats, told the broadcaster: 'The vessel is under arrest and is currently at anchor in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters.'
