Man. I did worked as security for a while as Mirabella was being built in Woolston and also at VT in Portchester where they built the mast. I remember standing on the boat when it was an open hull, thinking how cool this was!

If I get the money, I will buy it! A beauty is a beauty and it is just a projection of wealth!

@tamiya1 Who are you to determine what should satisfy someone else? Your personal opinion is just a simple personal opinion!

Can I ask a layman's question? If you are sailing across an ocean at that angle, doesn't everything on board slide to one side? Doesn't it make it very difficult to walk around, cook and sleep etc. Thanks for your help!

What a beauty
-
it's fair to call her a sloop, she's really designed to run with one headsail
-
she sails along very nicely
the loads are no problem, you just need to use the running backstays if there's a little chop and keep your fingers away from the winch drums
she should do around 24-25 kts with the bit in her teeth

This boat is too big. I think really anyone should be satisfied with 50-70'. That should get you around in style. The loads on this rig are unbelievable. Can you build it? Yes. Should you? No.

@tamiya1 Actually when it was announced everyone said it could NOT be built, so the fact that people now think it is possible is proof that it was right to build it. It was all about pushing engineering. Perhaps you think that technology or engineering should not move forward? Why buy a Ferrari when a Camaro will do? If you don't understand why then it's probably because you don't see why anyone wants to build anything bigger, faster, stronger. It's either in your DNA or it's not.
