Sanders,

Thanks for the note.  I saw one of these (or a similar huge modern
sailboat) in November and was truly amazed.  Tried to guess the footage
at around 200 ft. and could hardly believe my eyes.  It came and went
one evening, and I thought I'd never see it again.  I was figuring more
along the lines of a prince of Kuwait, Quatar, Saudi Arabia, etc.

We'll look for your in OB.

Regards,
David
