Lovely Evening in Poole tonight....

[Chris]

Judi, Peanut (dog) and I went to the Jazz Cafe for dinner, whilst the bands were playing and people walking past, over looking the harbour and the boats...

What nice way to spend an evening...

If only it was like this more often...

Pikey!

I knew it... poor show old chap, 45 foot is a tender, not a palace :finger

[I bet you've even included the davits in that measurement!]

 

[Moz]

Will do - I will do it on the cameraphone and MMS them over to you to wack up here

Its big enough ta.....maybe not by your standards Mr Posh.

And what are davits ?

And what are davits ?

What one would use to raise their landing craft from the water, or lower it into said water ...generally located on the stern of a boat, unless they are VERY large and then they are located on the sides.

Pip pip and all that

Oh, you mean that sticky outy bit on the back that is at water level.

I am no seafaring type Simon, in fact my biggest phobia is deep water (too many Jaws films as a young lad!)...I'll never be a boating type

No, that isn't a davit... that is a diving/inspection platform

45 foot is the perfect size for a family!

Now these guys are playing at a different level ut

 

[nomis]

You think we have (joke) pissing competitions?!?

Larry Ellison and Paul Allen take the cake!

Larry's yatch, The Rising Sun - 452'8" - kept under wraps during build to one up Paul's Octopus!

And Octopus - 'only' 414'0"

 

[Moz]

Now these guys are playing at a different level ut

I saw Octopus at Antibes Yacht Club a couple of years ago, she is MASSIVE!! Paul Allen's (Microsoft 2nd in command) boat!.....apparently he is having a bigger one built to compete with that chap from Oracle (forgot his name)!!

$200 million build cost for Octopus!

Here she is....

Now THAT'S where we need to organise a PGT gathering. Split the cost between 40 of us and we'd have just enough left for a pint (to share). Bagsy I get first sip.. ut

 

[Gastro]

Oh no - this is going to become my boat's bigger than yours thread...... anyone got that Oxy stuff that DMC was promoting - Mosi's going to need some

How about the World's Largest Yacht

The single-masted 246ft-long yacht cost more than £30m to build and will be hired out for about £135,000 a week.
The vessel, which is twice as tall as Nelson's Column, houses a sauna, gym, jacuzzi, plunge pool, dining area and a 600-bottle wine cellar. There is also room for 12 crew, 12 guests and jet skis.
