John Kerry unloading yacht that made waves Authors Gayle Fee for Boston Herald
The 76-foot luxury yacht Isabel — the tony tub that sailed Secretary of State John Kerry into stormy political seas a few years ago when the Track revealed that he and his wife had dodged a $437,500 state tax bill on their swanky $7 million sailboat — is up for sale.
Kerry and the missus, ketchup heiress Teresa Heinz, listed the New Zealand-built Friendship sloop for a mere $4 million with luxury yacht brokers Northrop & Johnson in Newport, R.I. — some $3 million less than they paid for it back in 2010.
“Boats do depreciate very, very quickly,” said a source with knowledge of the sale.
Kerry, who was in Oslo, Norway, attending a dinner for the foreign minister, declined to comment on the sale through a spokesman. An attorney for the Heinz family didn’t return a call or email. We’re guessing the duo would rather not rehash the political shipwreck that was the Isabel in 2010.
That was when the Track revealed that Kerry had ported the yacht in Newport — even painting the Rhode Island sailing haven’s name on the boat’s stern — thus avoiding a six-figure sales tax bill from the cash-strapped commonwealth of Mass.

Geez what a couple of hags. Didn’t she get all her dough from a Republican senator that was murdered in a helicopter crash?
Holy cow. What happened to her?
Taxes are for working people.
Liberals don’t pay taxes.
Bust Out Another Ten-thousand.
I guess she never fully recovered from the seizure or stroke, whatever it was. Sad.
7 Million doesn’t buy what it used to...
Kerry doesn’t have any VietCong flags left to put on his boat?
If the GOP scum keep trying to knock off Trump, the democrats will write history for a 100 years or until we are occupied by a foreign power.
The America I was born into in 1938 no longer exists, the one Obama created may last longer that the one the Founders gave us. I am not optimistic.
I said before Obama first began his campaign that if he was elected he had no intention of ever leaving I now think he might leave but if we hand this country over to Hillary and the #NeverTrumpers it will amount to the same thing.
Ok I understand. I want you to hold tight. Hillary is very fragile. Huge criminal liability lurks. Trump is doing great. Great things can happen. This could be a 50 state victory. These #Never Trump republicrats are about to be run completely over. Bless you friend and Fight. Fight with words right here. God bless this place to rally.
Sounds like a comment worthy of prayer. Thank you.

I would be willing to be you are spot on.
