    Now that's funny!
    So why hasn't it sunk yet?
    I'm assuming someone must come aboard to make sure the bilge is pumped out from time to time

    That's pretty much what I was wondering... with that degree of neglect, how is the boat still afloat?

    I bet the keel is deep in the mud/sand.

    That's what happens when you're overly-reliant on those new-fangled environmentally-friendly cleaning products. A bucket of plain-olde salt-water and some elbow-grease with a stiff deck brush would work wonders?!

    This is also an extreme example of "absent-owner" syndrome. On superyachts, the crew can be found lounging about the aft-deck, loud music blaring, beer cans and fags in hand. Unless they're Greek-run yachts in which case they're officially-allowed to be there...?! :D

    We should take up a collection & send a kid down to detail this fine vessel. We could leave a plaque on board telling the owner that his boat was awarded first place in the Yacht Forums "total neglect" award category
