Leave it to The Bankroll to always find the some of the most exclusive, most beautiful, most awesome-est items of luxury out there.
A few days ago he sent me a link to the Vertigo from Alloy Yachts and I was blown away by the sexiness of the design, the modern interpretation of the interior and the sheer massiveness of this masterpiece of floating art designed by naval architect Philippe Brand.
Two words: pimp. I can imagine lounging around on this bad boy wearing white linen. Image from http://www.alloyyachts.co.nz/yachts/sailing+yachts/Vertigo.html.
According to thecoolist.com:
This massive 220-foot sailing yacht is lined with luxury from bow to stern, capable of carrying captain, crew and company around the world in the highest of fashion. The Vertigo 220 is powered by a pair of 1400 hp main engines that combine with bow and stern thrusters for a massive amount of thrust to compliment the wind at its sails. In contrast to most yachting designs, the interior is not overly compartmentalized, it is open and airy, making for a grand approach to luxury yacht living.
For those that missed it – this yacht is a 220 foot sailboat. Think the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean, but double the length, cut the height by a third and then fill it with a tenth of the capacity.
And when comparing sailboats versus motor powered yachts on a sexy scale, sailboats are on the higher end of the bringing-sexy-back spectrum.
Why? Because instead of using a loud, clunky engine, you use mother nature to help you glide over the water for a more visceral experience.
