Boys and their toys

Due, undoubtedly, to the fact that the 377ft Pelorus, 282ft Ecstasea and 160ft Sussurro were woefully inadequate, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich has commissioned the 550ft Eclipse.

The Eclipse is 2/3 the length of the WWII German battleship Bismarck and, indeed, is under construction at the same shipyards that produced the Bismarck.

The linked article provides details on the yacht which make it sound most suitable for a Bond villian.

What's Larry Ellison going to do to one-up this? The Rising Sun is only 438ft!
