We were asked to get some aerial footage of Mirabella V as she sailed south from Antigua, this was one of the first times that the world's largest sloop had been under full sail in a strong breeze. http://www.acquafilms.com
Palmettoboy8634. Mirabella IS here (Charleston) right now. I live across from the marina at Albemarle Pt. and saw it sail in this morning! What a sight! (are you at Porter Gaud School beause it sounds like you have the same perspective that I do! The Mirabella sailed in shortly after sunrise this morning.
Today I walked out of my school in Charleston, SC. I saw a giant mast sticking up above the trees and drove down to be marina and talked to the M5 crew. Tallest mast in the world, 3 square km of sail. 900 million dolla.
5 million dollars. This fuel-guzzling monstrosity was the "boyhood dream" of Joseph Vittoria, the former CEO of both Hertz and Avis? Most kids think a rowboat would be just fine. How about a square-rigged schooner instead?
The vessel is a disgusting tribute to avarice, and anyone who sails on her isn't worth his or her salt.
Amazing yacht, check out R Baker (Electrical) Ltd website we manufactured the power supplies for this yacht.

@jakeornot You think that that thing was only 5 million dollars? Try 50 million

I recently saw the M5 docked in Newport, RI. Pretty amazing ship; made the other big boats around it...not so big.
