WSJ a couple days ago had an article on this. His existing yacht (400+
feet long), he says is too big. when he comes into ports, he has to tie up
where the oil tankers are, the cargo ships, etc., because his yacht is too
big for the yacht marinas. So, the new yacht is going to be 260 feet long
and going to be built in Europe.


If he were really wealthy he could build personal marina in every port
of his interest. The fact they he is cutting length means that he is
on budget.
