s/v Meteor Looming over Our Little J/Boat

Meteor, which is something to behold with it's two masts (both with red lights atop for FAA purposes, at night), has at least one boom which is long as our J/160 is from stem to stern :^))).

If you look it up on the web, you'll see it is something else. (From a different time and place.)

I believe in 2007, when it was built, it cost $46 Million. You can buy it today for about $32 Million. Or you can charter it "from" $200K/week + out-of-pocket costs... Fit's right into the Vanderbilt mansions and NYYC tableau. :^)))

Newport is such a great place to see boats like Meteor "hanging out".
