    Wow that is surprising from a 1st class operation like Northern MArine. I can't even imagine going through the process of building a custom yacht only to lose her on launch day.

    Feel so sorry for that owner, I would be running around looking for an oven to stick my head in.

    Is It Just Me??

    I realize it's hard to tell where the COG/COB is just by looking at a boat, but doesn't that thing look like a Tudor mansion on an outhouse foundation?

    I wonder if the naval architect who drew the boat is changing his phone number.... did they launch it wrong or is the boat unstable to begin with?

    There's lots of speculation. Lots of discussion and related links on YachtForums. As of now she has been floated, righted and hauled out.
