Default The most extraordinary yacht of all time

Why not????? If is your boat, you do what you want and let the crew clean it
up. I was on that end of the stick as a teenager. Yes Larry, I was once.

Subject: The most extraordinary yacht of all time
From: "Steve Lusardi"

I was very fortunate to visit the Perini Navi facility in Viareggio
last July. While there for a week helping to install new bridge
electronics on another SY (SY Galaxia), I wandered through the yard
and saw the solutions they used for the most common problems in
construction. It was VERY, VERY enlightening. I learned a bunch.
Imagine that there are no visible fasteners anywhere on these boats.
Everything is hidden. Imagine looking down the side of the hull, which
is finished like a Bently and seeing not a wrinkle or blemish
anywhere. Perini has a paint hall dedicated to just masts and spars
100 meters long. In there they suspend these enormous spars from the
roof for painting. These boats have a state of finish inside and out
that most people could not imagine and will never, in there entire
life, ever see. Steve


Gist don't seem right draggin' a stringer full of red snappers through
there to clean 'em in the galley, does it?....(c;
