As far as the skeleton crew is concerned. They are still unpaid, loyal, and bored beyond words. Out of the standard crew of 44, twenty-five members have sued to recover $2.1 million in unpaid wages, and only a team of six is now responsible for the upkeep of the Guryev asset.

$100,000 a month and none of it's going to the employees? shocked-pikachu

It has been burning diesel fuel for 14 years.

Oh, I see the problem. They're burning the wrong thing.

I like my meat medium rare though.

I'm struggling to come up with a reason why the designer wouldn't slap a couple of power hookups to the thing so you could plug it into a marina while docked. Like obviously porky isn't giving that any thought, but the people he's paying to build the yacht had to at some point right?

[–] huf@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

maybe docking is more expensive than anchoring and popping off for a shitton of gas now and then?

[–] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's really not marina space is far cheaper than diesel. Anyway the rich normally consider being docked in expensive marinas to be part of the status of the boat

Go for a swim with a hand drill.

The ecological effect of sinking this would be offset by the longterm reduction in pollution it creates anyway.

Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior except good and justified.

It's probably a steel hull. The easiest way to sink it would probably be to break some through-hull connections below the waterline. Not much you can do from outside other than perhaps plugging the bilge pump's output.

Or you could wait till a big storm and cut the docklines.

I bet it'd look real nice violently exploding

Shame if it were to come under some sudden disrepair.

The hunger increasingly consumes my thoughts, and I fear it cannot be sated but with the flesh of the gentry

So the article he is stating that there is a yacht full of unattended valuables?
