Venus reminds me that some of the best designers and shipbuilders in the world built the Titanic. Good luck to all that sail in her, they may need it.

Pic of the boat

That is one ugly boat...

Well, whattaya expect from a designer named Starck?

Looks like something Captain Nemo ordered in 1960.

Well , like his latest computers it looks like it is not only an iBoat but he also incorporated windows in to it

I wonder how she will handle on open waters? The prospect of a minimalist boat cruising the islands is hideous, where do all the chicks in bikinis lay around? no sofas and sheepskin rugs etc It would take a special Captain and crew to feel at home and comfortable on that bridge.

"Starck said he was to be paid a fixed sum of nine million euros, while lawyers for Jobs' estate said he was to be paid a percentage of the project's cost equal to six million euros."

My next job is gong to be yacht design!!

Give it to me, I'll fill it up with a load of Aussies and dock it at Phuket.

How long does it take to draw a design of a boat? I did some drafting of houses in my salad years. A boat design might take 3 hours, with some detail. That's 100,000 Euros a minute, or 3 million Euros per hour. Not a scruffy wage for some drawings.

.....and the same types of people who pay that sort of money for a (partial) design are the type who won't drop 10 baht in a beggar's cup while walking (with a 'sniff' sound) briskly by them on a city sidewalk.

And hope another tsunami doesn't come over the horizon. I agree with a previous poster; where do the chicks in bikinis hang out? Perhaps the designer can add a couple basketball court sized decks - one on either side - and charge an additional 4 million Euros for his 20 minutes of drafting efforts.
