Yaaaawwwn.

Another 147' superyacht. So mundane, so banal, so yesterday. Of course we are kidding, but with so many of these extra large monsters popping up everywhere, it's easy to become sort of jaded. This one is of some note however as it is the new all carbon Baltic 147. Probably not your typical production boat, it is designed by Reichel-Pugh (are there any boats they haven't drawn? These guys would appear to be dominating the big and fast end of the spectrum. It is very impressive and a massive credit to them that they have become the preeminent design team in what must be a brutal arena). The one number that is most impressive (besides the price, I'm sure) is the displacement: 250,000 lbs! Holy moly. For the complete look, go to Baltic's web page
