For the lazy ones amongst you lot:

The interesting bit:

Over 22,000 hours of design have been assigned to this boat. With its 600m2 of sailcloth, 35 meters of mast, low birth and retractable keel, this boat can otherwise be called a 4 x 4 of the seas. It is capable of going into Polar Regions, the tropics, up rivers and into regions where other boats of its kind simply cannot go.

Its OK .. If you can afford one of those, you can afford the 20 or so full time crew needed to keep it afloat, plus a dedicated shore support team!

What interests me is - are the blokes still screwing hardware on, as the boat is rushed to meet a launch date?!
