    Not a PFD on a single one of them. They all must be competing for this year's Darwin Award.

    LOL!!

    So wait... they supposedly have a submarine (since 2014 according to what I read), but they're using a picture of A? Does a submarine actually exist? Were they just to lazy to take a photo and stole apic of A instead? o_O

    They did some effort to photoshop the window of the bridge. At the real 'A' it is one window...

    A no longer seems to be listed on the Y.Co website, I wonder if she has found a buyer?

    She might of been sold.. Could it be a Middle Eastern buyer who brought MY A since she has been spotted in the Middle East?

    Certainly possible, she is currently alongside in Dubai and I think she has now been there for a couple of weeks. It would be a real shame if she needed up stuck in the Gulf.

    Yea I agree with you it would be a real shame. Unlike many people I do kinda like the design but oh well.

    She is one of my top 5 favorites so I'd be disappointed to see her stuck there after so much time cruising the world.

    I agree with you. It would be sad. But hopefully it won't be that way.

    She is gorgeous I tell you... I had the chance to see her up close, was so refreshing especially back then when the only vessel that had that type of bow would have been "Predator"

    Still after all these years its refereshing to see her even in photos. Not many owners are very creative. I would love if I had the money to do a MY similar to A.

    Not every one wants to think outside of the box or break the mould of convention. The majority of designers are for those types of clients. Even though you may not want to stray too far from the conventional, you can still create something very nice..."DAR", "Artefact", "Excellence" come to mind. But for those daring owners who really want to stand out whether for good or bad in people's perceptions, then Philippe Starck is the man to go to!
