[Stat Brother]

Today's yacht is Steel sailing under the flag of Georgetown.

Back in 2015 it was valued at €29,000,000.

Today it is moored up at Ocean Village Southampton and has the ignominity of the slackjawed stats gawping at it.

Mighty impressive it is too.

20 mill and I’d take a closer look, bit of a tough year so far though.

I did go through a phase of watching tours of super yachts on Youtube after it suggested one. Very nice but ludicrous money.

The two happiest days of a boat-owners life: the day you buy it, and the day you sell it.

If aliens landed on this planet and saw people starving and then a man sailing around in a £29m toy they would be quite right to blast us out of the universe.

Couldn't even sell mine. Well, he said he'd send me some money later but it never arrived. I wasn't bothered, it saved me a ton of money the moment he towed it away.

Madame Gu. I can't remember how to post a link it's been so long since I have, but this (I think they actually call it "the ship") is a bit special if you like that sort of thing. Check it out on YouTube.

I hear you loud and clear.

It was parked between, and dwarfed, a decent £1m + proper yacht and an even more opulent cabin cruiser, but they just didn't get a look in.

Steel is a behemoth and looked like it could handle anything any ocean could throw at it.

I liked it, and wouldn't say no if someone handed me the keys.


Sir James Radcliffe's (Mr Ineos) Hampshire II was parked up last time we went to the cinema, that was also quite nice.

If I win euromillions orneven the lottery, I’m going to buy and restore one of these, like the one I lived on when I was a kid, with engines, then go tearing up the coast shooting water cannons at kite surfers ��

Pah I say, PAH. Hasn't even got a helicopter pad.

Who needs a helicopter when you are smashing through ice at the poles. Whatever floats your boat

The best thing about these boats is the ludicrous number of sofas / seating areas. Surely they could have chucked in a bondage room instead of yet another lounge area.

In a previous job I was the PM for kitting out the IT stuff on Philip Green's ( I refuse to call him a 'sir' ) yacht. The amount of money the tosser spent was disgusting. Let's hope the BHS pension holders don't suffer for his spending ….. oh ….
