Does it come with it’s own F-18?

My Mom and Dad made lampshades for the Truman Presidential Yacht. Mrs. Truman (Bess) picked out my Mother’s unique ‘Dogwood’ pattern for the shades.

I’d bet the wine stock on that boat cost more than my entire boat, but that is one very ugly barge.

FDRs yacht in white paint? You must be kidding. The Potomac was build as coast guard cutter/subchaser. It was converted into a yacht. Having seen it overtake us, at speed, her lines were like a budget version of a four piper speeding by.
Plenty of reasons not to like FDR, but the Potomac is a fine Yacht. And a more seaworthy design than the Jobs disaster.

Geez, a six year old with a Laddie pencil and a napkin could have designed that during his poop break.

If the photos of the late Steve Jobs' yacht “Venus” are accurate, that is the ugliest, uninspiring, piece of junk I have ever seen. I don't care how much Jobs paid, he was robbed at any price.
If you want to see a super yacht, look at the “Octopus” owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Now THIS is a yacht! Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopus_(yacht)
To: Swordmaker
Jobs made a statement with this yacht, a silly one as silly as his death.He made all those billions but couldn’t find a way to keep death away. I am sure he had the best people looking into every conventional and every alternative treatment but his money couldn’t find what would keep death away. But his billions were able to buy an absurd and ugly aluminum yacht. Yacht yes, life no.

I needed to see something more yacht-ish. Now, THESE are clean lines.

I rather like it. As if Frank Lloyd Wright designed a boat with Apple sensibilities.
I was getting tires of seeing boats (which don’t move particularly fast) looking like high-performance spacecraft.
What it will, in fact, be used for evades me.
