catalina27-talk: Without a big yacht, you ain't squat

[David Shugarts]

Hi, All--

Thought I would share the article in the New York Times today:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/02/business/02yacht.html?_r=1&th=&adxnnl=1&or

Big companies and wealthy owners now "need" megayachts, with helicopters and
mini-submarines as accessories.

³Today, a megayacht is indispensable,² said Olivier Milliex, head of yacht
finance at the Dutch bank ING. ³It¹s not like 15 years ago, when a yacht was
a luxury item.²

I'm looking at this and figuring, "This has got to increase the resale value
of my boat!"
