Wind Horse is easily the most impressive private yacht I have ever read about. This boat is designed to take anything the sea can throw at her and also happens to be amazingly thrifty for an 83 foot boat, getting 1.83 NM per gallon of diesel at 11.5 knots average. The owners report that it's LESS expensive to operate than a similarly sized sailboat. It's not pretty on the outside, but wow, talk about being over built and easy to maintain.
