Steve Jobs New Boat, so Big They Aren't Sure How Big it Actually Is

[terminalcitygrl]

I'm with minaret and Mark. I like it, clean lines, modern aesthetic, and I'll bet she is wonderful at sea... It's a shame SJ isn't he to take her out on her maiden voyage.

Steve Jobs family (Laurene Powell, Reed, Erin, eve) where there at the shipbuilder Feadship for the christening of “Venus”

I think once the inside of of “Venus” is finished that the yacht will be brought to California so the family can use her.

They had rented captained & crewed power & sailboats many times. His family really enjoyed it.

I was wondering where Jay Benford was, tried to track him down to consult on a design a few years ago and couldn't, the trail dead ended at a different design shop. Good to see he's still doing his thing. You might really carefully look at his designs before mocking them, the guys a genius...

Benford is absolutely a first rate designer. So, no mocking at all.

"Does my bum look big in this?"

"Ummm .... well, frankly yes"

Steve Jobs could not be accused of sharing that physical defect with his floating mausoleum.

I bet when all the slide outs on the side and stern open it looks pretty sweet at anchor

Yup, that's a massive transom garage. Lots of room for toys in there.

Why couldn't he have opted for something more tasteful, like Zaha Hadid's latest for Vlad Doronin

Slip a coupla hulls under it and call it done!

LOL! It would have to be a hydrofoil. Very Star Wars.

Steve Jobs liked simple lines and that is not it. Think floating white iPhone. Lots of glass and edges

I think his boat is more practical than many "beautiful " boats out there.
