I bet Zurich is pissed. Nope, probably Chubb.


Simon Lebon sank his yacht on his first sail. Only, he was too rock star to insure it.

Forgot to put the ballast rocks in the bottom, therefore making it top heavy!

Reportedly due to stabilization issues.

Always check your drain plugs before launching.

I was going to say $1.17 million seemed like a deal for that boat, but I guess you get what you pay for.


How about a submarine?

I can look at that boat and tell it’s too top heavy for to be that narrow

Came to post the same thing. WAY too much top weight for the beam width on that boat.

Looks like they built it on the beach used for shipbreaking

Other countries suck.

Nice to see the landmarks of history but the places are meh. They shortcut everything. Everything. Don’t value human life as much etc.

I’ve said it on here a million times. Everywhere else sucks. You live in the best place ever created thus far in humanity.

I think this is staged and fake. A boat like that getting a maiden launch from a gravely shore, on top of wooden logs, with nobody around on the shore?
Also, I only saw one guy standing on the boat after it rolled.

I'm not an OT Baller but a $1M does not seem a lot of money for a luxury yacht. Sounds like you get what you paid for.


You aren’t getting out under 1m for a fully loaded 40ft Grady white, lol
