Geekette says:
Millions, that is. But how many yachts will you come across described as having design inspiration of "equal parts Disney's Aladdin and Courtyard by Marriott"?
Built for Sad-Mad but never delivered to Iraq, hence its escaping the bombing that befell its twin in 2003. Now moored here in the South of France.
