Nice yacht in the highlands

[Paul G (BHT)]

The stunning Norn is currently near Skye if any of you lads up there are interested in seeing it.

It is owned by Charles Simonyi the creator of Microsoft Office.

Nice indeed!
Solar powered of course?

 

[gerarddwatts]

Just off Glenelg...
Watching the sea eagles no doubt.

Nah.... hopefully Charles will be doing his best to top up the depleting CO2 levels

Heading for the Kyle of Lochalsh for some fish and chips maybe

 

[gerarddwatts]

Better off stopping at Dornie...but I expect they've got someone to throw a fish in the pan on board....lovely neck of the woods too...

 

[Robbi]

Maybe he's there for the HebCelt festival on Lewis ( I believe)

Looks like you could be right....

I wish I’d listened more at school

 

[gerarddwatts]

They'll be able to see Eilan Donan castle out the windie...

I can only agree

Whilst the bosses yacht is only marginally bigger, it’s certainly more beautiful

When I were a lad , yachts had sails . That is hideous .

T’was ‘the boss’ that called it a yacht .... yes, they should have sails, indeed they should
To me it’s just a big boat, nowt special .... I loved my Canadian canoe, honest

It's a stunningly beautiful motor yacht, currently anchored at Dornie.

There are worse places to wake up for your weetabix, Loch Duich, just off Drudaig Lodge. I could take you to a fox den on the hill above the lodge, and another one just east, above the fish cages. Happy memories!

Thank goodness he didn’t train as a naval architect.
Whichever angle you look at it from, it’s both ungracious and ungainly.

My lad see’s a lot of these tech billionaires boats in the Caribbean, especially around Christmas. Remember its not just the purchase price, these boats need a minimum of 10 to 15% value for daily running costs , fuel staff , berthing. So Norn will be costing £40 mill per year minimum.

However Charles’s net worth of $8 billion may go some way to funding that
