Gilded Perkins puts ego yacht up for sale

Solomon Grundy

Maltese Falcon 

It's big, really, really big. It's nice, really, really nice. But it sort of sucks too. It can't be taken too many places, it takes a huge crew to sail (meaning that even the owner isn't going to be in charge on trips, it'll be a Captain who can actually sail the thing), and it's just too over the top.

I would sort of like to see it sink, or be scuttled, since he's really only into the design process anyway - sinking it on purpose would be really cool and a great statement!

Or he could sell it on eBay, that'd be cool too.

Several are apparently lying idle due to the Imperial Russian Navy having no money to drive them around. And they boast "rooms for relaxation, sauna and swimming pool".

Plus, you could probably put a SpaceShipTwo in the missile tubes for a rapid trip back home when required.
