Wouldn't it have been better to power it with engines instead? or do the crew row with the 27" screen iMacs on the ends of poles? 
powered by a bank of seven 27-inch screen iMacs that sit on the bridge.

Well it's not built for beauty after all, can't really see how the dead straight superstructure help controlling her in the wind - maybe more predictable...
Can't actually see where front finishes?
My sis launched a yacht there ( she worked inside) early 2000? , 50m . They had to bouy up the **** end of it -stop it dragging the bottom, most of the way to the open water

May be another patent battle looming - did he nick the design from Oracle, this is an equally crap looking ship belonging to Larry Ellison....

Pissing myself at that comment if it was one of Steve Jobbs turds you would say the same. Its anything but easy on the eye, a rake on the bow or a curve here and there would have been a million percent improvement and the size...... he should have commisioned a QM2 clone at £850M and sue Cunnard saying they copied a Apple design.

Here's a prime example of heeding the advice "stick to what you're good at". Looks like it was designed and built with Lego.
