Maybe this is a stupid question but I'm wondering if the massive $100m and up yachts like the Black Pearl, Maltese Falcon, and Sailing Yacht A actually go sailing.

I feel like the owners are too rich/busy to have the time to make a big crossing and that when the owners are on the boat and want to use it, they would just park it at a beautiful island and enjoy the floating paradise.

I do not look like a fan boy - grey hair, late 40s, non-inviting gaze - and I was just walking out of a döner place near the main train station in Frankfurt (of all the places!) as I bump into a pair of dudes walking down the street in the opposite direction. I immediately knew that I know one of the faces (sport celebrity, wait a minute…) but I needed couple of seconds to recognize it. Boris Herrmann! Of all German cities it must be the least expected location to meet the dude (are we racing the Main river now?). Anyways, I didn’t run back to greet him, although my badge in r/Vendee_Globe might suggest I could have :)

Have you met anyone from the sailing world in a similar way?

News today indicates that the US DOD will no longer make the data from its SSMIS [Special Sensor Microwave Image Sounder] instrument aboard the DMSP satellites available to forecasters.

https://www.local10.com/weather/hurricane/2025/06/26/critical-hurricane-forecast-tool-abruptly-terminated/

The data from these microwave sensors fill an important gap in visible and infrared satellite imagery, providing much more accurate location and status information on developing storms early in their lifespan and giving visibility into storms during nighttime passes. The absence of this information will make track predictions much less accurate, blind us to rapid intensification, and increase the likelihood of "sunrise surprises" where daybreak reveals a storm much more powerful than earlier predictions indicated. It also provides important data for researchers working on polar sea ice.

The article linked above indicated that there may be security concerns with releasing this data publicly, but that's not confirmed at this time.

Researchers are unhappy. One called the move "insanity" and noted that "hurricane forecasts will undoubtedly be worse after this loss."
