    no super yot owners here

    no need to hide the facts
    we are a proud bunch that stand out from the rest in our tiny boats
    we dont need gold taps and dozens of servants to wipe our arses
    we are man enough to do it ourselves:D :D

    100% small boats AND PROUD OF IT

    :D :D

    wtf is going on here:(

    Super yacht, this is a little strange for me.I even read in a magazine a somebody designed a "mimi super yacht". Other a "mega yacht"
    A yacht is a yacht, just give the size, its enough.
    Super is for the gasoline with octane 89 (her in the US)
    Then we have Supreme with octane 91!
    Anyway, I will go with the trend. Super yacht it is!

    This is an exemple of good marketing:

    I am currently designing a super yacht for a very experienced sailor.
    The reality: I am designing a 22' on spec :D

    Cheers
    Daniel

    I would consider Manie B's idea of a super yacht more of a sail boat. this is a super yacht. http://www.john-rosatti.com ;)

    A super, yacht is in my view, one that I feel is "super" meaning well pleased... Not huge... Not bigger than all others... Just a boat that I can say is "super" as a noun not an adjective... Pommies who are over 60 years with a quiet education may recognise the use of the word from childhood days...
