After all, they move houses, don’t they?

This can’t be true. Wouldn’t the builders have thought of that? And can’t the masts be temporarily removed or tilted downward?
To: 1Old Pro
That’s one ugly boat. I guess taste doesn’t come with money.

No problem...
The one thing both Bezos and Soros learned in 2020 is that nothing, even a presidential election, cannot be overcome with the application of hundreds of millions of dollars...

The article I posted is poorly written. I went back to the Dutch source and found this, which is not trivial, but it's not "demolish" either.
Walravens hopes that with proper preparation, the middle section of the bridge will be removed for just one day.

Thanks! Nice boat. Depending on how high above the water the bridge deck is, that thing may have enough freeboard to interfere even w/o the masts... Just another first-world billionaire quandary, huh.

Jeff can afford enough heavy lift helicopters.
Probably enough combined rotor wash to flatten the immediate area but these things happen.

I really can’t image why someone would want a yacht that large. Maybe he wants to use it as a launch/recovery platform with style.

The black hauled yacht was rolled out the shipyard Are Africans being used to tow it out of drydock? Or did the author mean "black hulled"?

Should’ve had a submarine built like I did.

I have wondered what the giant yacht thing was all about. I figured it was something pretty bad. That said, and I certainly do not wish anything evil on anybody....If I was a terrorist.... a drone and some, say, anthrax seems like some low hanging fruit and they would get a lot of bang for their buck.
