Magic Numbers Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Did anyone catch sight of this http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=673066 in the Forth on Wednesday? The spectacular 120m, ?200million long yacht belongs to Russian BILLIONAIRE!!! Andrey Melnichenko. Apparently it was berthed in the Forth off Kirkcaldy for a while, might have gone further up the Forth too, wonder why a Russian tycoon would visit our shores??? Please let it be a prospective new owner for Hearts even if he's a Russian banker!!!, at least this one has serious cash! ***tard's only 36 too! 2 years older than me, that sucks big time, I'm seriously jealous. You should see his Missus too! http://www.aleksandramelnichenko.com/biography.html :107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 ?200 million for that. Who designed it? Stevie Wonder Bloody horrible.. That is what I was thinking as well, as yachts go it is far from pleasing on the eye. If I was going to pay ?200 million for a yacht then this was presented to me by the designers I would deem it money badly spent (there again if you have the sort of money these sort of guys have you could just keep that one for trips up the Forth and go out and order another one for important occasions).

HeartyGraeme Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 ?200 million for that. Who designed it? Stevie Wonder Bloody horrible.. Yeah I agree, I think it looks really awful, looks like it was built from a sketch by Homer Simpson. I would be embarrassed to be seen on it, but I guess I dont have to worry about that. I live in queensferry, never saw it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
