    A German yachting magazine had a nice story about the vintage yacht "Flying Cloud". I have placed the word "gentlemans" in quotation marks, because her original owner was suppost to be Al Capone!:rolleyes:

    If this is the real yacht of Al Capone, it must be quite famous in the United States. It is even for sale. According to the magazine, they ask 385.000 $ for it. It looks nicely restored on these pictures.

    That's a great piece of machinery. My wife will be happy to know that I found another boat I 'need'.:D I would really like to see some interior shots of it. Does anyone know where any exist?

    It really is a nice reconstruction. Especially, if you look at her condition before. That looked more like the raw material for a bonfire. Hats off to the skilled specialists.

    The boat is actually free. What you are paying for is the restoration.:D Not unlike a number of cars that have been totally restored. A really nice vessel though.
