Superyachts of the rich and famous

Tom Perkins, the venture capitalist who owns one of the most beautiful modern yachts, Maltese Falcon, says that people buy boats for the prestige but they soon fall in love with the waves. I am about to sail my boat down to Mexico. I've been around Cape Horn and to Alaska. It's in my blood now. It's a wonderful challenge

"Challenge" is doing that in a Volvo Open 70 (which people do take into the Southern Ocean, that's real sailing). It's like Bear Grylls on TV. Yeah he can survive the wilderness... With nothing more than a film crew and fleet of support vehicles, including a helicopter. What's the point?

I'd be worried about piracy.

Who's next in line to place an order?!
