here she is .....it took 69 man-hours, 40+ bobbins and 28 needles to restitch every seam in the cockpit enclosure....hopefully none of our seams will bust open in the Canal.....that would be somewhat embarassing.
The boat was built in 1957 as a Dutch canal barge, and underwent a six-million-dollar refit in St. Maarten last year. The sails had never actually been used until the current crew took charge! She's around 70' long, and has things like Harleys, and player pianos on board. outta control!
The woodwork on this boat is absolutely breathtaking. There are a number of carvings and sculptures, some of which are original, others replicas as some were stolen over the years.
you can read more about her and see more pics at the crew's site, http://www.yachtwork.com/super_yacht_crew.html

I checked the yachtwork site and it's not six million dollars, it's six million Euros (!).
By my rough estimate that was equal to US$7,411,067.19 a year ago.
What exactly did the owners have in mind as the purpose of this incredibly expensive conversion? With no draft and a flatwater bow it's hardly a blue water cruising yacht.
