new yacht
Lets set the scene first:-
One 65′ custom-built motor yacht replete with 4 staterooms, state-of-the-art
galley, GPS System and navigation radar, twin supercharged diesel engines,
etc.
Cost:……………….. $4,500,000..00
Being prepared for maiden launch. Crane transfer from quayside to water.
Other costs
Crane + rigging + labour engaged
for 2 hours………………………………….= $2,500.00
Champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries with cream …..=$300.00
Music dockside for ’soon-to-be-owners’ and a small group of friends…. = $500.00
Photographer to capture the happy moment…………………………………………….. = $350.00
..and
then……
Watching from quayside as a ( $55.00 ) faulty turnbuckle on the
hoisting rig collapses & …………… your dream boat nosedives into the
harbor with two corporate representatives [ one in the bridge and the other seen
'hanging' in the stern ] performing the handover routine just prior to
inking the final paperwork…
PRICELESS!
