Well I was impressed when we pulled up alongside one of Roman Abramovitch’s motor yachts in Dublin City marina some years ago, but today I noticed a mega yacht had arrived in the marina, on the outside pontoon across from us. I looked up on the AIS and found M5 at the correct bearing from us so had a look and discovered It’s called M5, previously known as Mirabella 5.It’s the biggest sloop in the world, and number 6 in the biggest yacht list overall. \u00a0We saw her\u00a0from a distance once in the med where she famously went aground after dragging her anchor. She seems to get around a bit.<\/p>\n

Despite being the largest single masted yacht ever made, she only has room for twelve guests, only 6 more than we can handle, however I expect they might have a little more room, and probably a butler or two each.<\/p>\n

She was also responsible for saving a crew in the ARC which I think was in 2006 the same year as us, details here<\/a> and quite an interesting read<\/p>\n

Will pop over tomorrow to see if they have any spare sikaflex as I just ran out, I’m sure they will help out \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

More details here<\/a><\/p>\n
