Misty day in Newport.

- Athena is in town. I had to take a photo about this arguably the prettiest, most expensive private sailboat in the world.

- Funny, at the same time a client for whom I am designing a 105' Motor Yacht, sent me pictures of another three masthead schooner. What a contrast. Someone said: "Design is what you see". I admit Athena is not in the same category, with Huisman for builder and astronomical cost associated with such a vessel. But still, no matter looks count. Get a good Yacht Architect.
