Jim Clark whose boats were made infamous in Michael Lewis’ New New Thing has a new dinghy, according to our ole pal, Damon Darlin. It is world’s largest three-masted schooner, and the 300-footer is called The Athena. It has a keel 18 feet deep. Get this: The mast is so tall, it would not fit under the Golden Gate Bridge. His Hyperion was a beautiful boat, but check this one out at its builder’s site, Royal Huisman. Price? Who knows. Maybe $160 million. More pictures here.
