I heard the Bond theme playing in my head when I looked at it.

That’s a crazy ship. My buddy was first mate on that for a few years. He’s got some stories…

Have you seen Titanic? If Rose would’ve kept her legs closed alotta people would still be around.

I wonder if Anto ever sold her. I spent a weekend on her back in the before times. The yacht girls were superlative.

Used to see Adastra quite a lot back when I lived in Hong Kong. The finnish is not up to top yacht standard. Cool though that people dare to breach the norms in terms of design.
