I wonder how well it does in a moderate swell or worse ...

Also, I'm not at all fond of modern, sterile, white interiors.

There's a 4000 gallon holding tank, and they offer an optional Marine Sewage Device. I believe that is basically a purification system that allows you to clean the waste water to the point that it can be discharged. There are already lots of regulations regarding those systems, as they have been available on more modest vessels for years.

In principle, I love it. In practice, maybe not so much.

Talk about living in glass houses?!?

Don't they care in the least about privacy? Maybe owners of such crafts WANT to flaunt it - inviting paparazzi.

I'd take it if it were given to me and I'd sell it.
