    From the ecological point of view those two ships are an outrage.
    From the aesthetic point of view the ship AIDA is shocking:
    If there is lips on the bow, might we have a picture of the stern?:D:D:D

    I have to agree. It appears so ugly to the eyes of this beholder.

    Daiquiri dear, I'm probably getting old.

    I can not fit my personal taste with the things I see.
    Probably Italian style is no longer in fashion and I'm no able to adapt to the present.
    Is inexplicable how someone could find a mountain of money to do a thing like in att.: between the monster and the luxury tug.

    PS
    My shallow water boat, as horrible how strong and fast, is very pleased to protezione civile.

    What do you think if we dedicating to a serious study for a catamaran (or trimaran) motor, 10m, highly innovative?
    Is the future in Italy, after the law of 10 meters.



    I made ​​two drawings; when u have some minuts.....

    Yes, I was thinking a lots about the 10m fiscal barrier, and it's implications. I'll call you back next week if you want.
    Cheers

    Speaking of fiscal Italy this new Megayacht dockage tax has the Big Daddies worried. 30,000 a month for the real big gin palaces.

    Yes, even Croatians and French have been caught by surprise, there's not enough moorings available in their marinas for all the Italian boat owners who would like to expatriate their toys out of Italian waters. This tax law could be the coup de grâce for the nautical industry in Italy, it is absolutely crazy.
    But... we are digressing here. :)

    Can you beat the system by putting a mast into a motoryacht. What is the definition of a sailing yacht ???

    the thing that makes the most scandal is that we had already seen what happens if rates boats: it seems incredible, but run away!
    Do not take taxes kill the economy.
    The camalli in Genoa, the governor of Sardinia had not sufficed as an example ...
    bah! provided that will soon end in one way or another ...
    Chiamami quando vuoi!

    The problem is not only Italian ....
    look here:
    http://www.deluxeblog.it/galleria/celebrity-silhouette/2

    The breastplate of Bismarck not enough as a proposed.
    I have to add tracks.
    So cruise ships go everywhere and problem is finally solved.

    Moreover, the nature repeats itself .... We all come from the sea and also cruiser....

    ......
    Cruise in Madrid .... enjoy the bullfight without even entering plaza de toros!
    you look at being in the pool!
    170 euros, 8 days, drinks included.
    ....and returning we will pass from Lourdes! Dive into the pool of miracles!

    Punitive taxation on new boats did great harm to the boat-building industry here in Florida.

    Idiot mom gives birth everywhere.
    Thank God, we do not have the exclusive!
    Is incredible that the Treasury admits that tax revenue will not cover taxes lost becouse of unemployment created.
    Shameful!
