I saw a program on TV this morning featuring this yacht and I am amazed at the speed it can do of 68 knots. For a vessel of 140 feet powered by two diesels and two turbines developing sum 20000 horse power it is truly amazing. Special construction techniques were used to keep it light weight. John did say when at speed the cost of the fuel would melt your credit card quickly! There is some interest in a much less luxurious version being used for off shore duties in the US. www.millenniumsuperyachts.com/dhtml/mill140photos/news.htmlColin
