Why? It's the boat builder who will be paying.

Well..not really I would suggest it is already a sunk* cost! The ostentatiousness of their luxury product combined with its epic launch failure is just plain funny. To me at least.
*pun most certainly intended

For 10million I was expecting it to seem more, but it did say it was 85ft long, so probably much more impressive in real life.
I have seen some yachts in the Bahamas that must have cost 25 or 50 mil then.

Don't fret...a bank can always float them the money

Hopefully they have a sinking fund to cover these unexpected losses.

Be careful, they often don't float (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bank_failures_in_the_United_States_(2008%E2%80%93present)) much better than top heavy boats!

For a business that could be taking on water, this could be a real anchor to their bottom line.
I almost keeled over laughing on that one. Thanks!

I like the cut of your jib Ottawa.

It looks like the picture only shows the top of the yacht, there's still a bunch underwater in that shot.
-
Sounds like they'll be a rock bottom priced yacht on the market soon. I mean It has to be worth it to fix it and recoup some of their costs right? right?

Get over it guys, that ship has sailed.

How sure of the veracity of this story are we? It seems a little fishy. (Sea what I did there?)
. . . ok, ok . . . I may need kelp.

I think we're really starting to scrape bottom here. I can't fathom what else there is to say!

I hope it's not mob-money, otherwise someone might get concrete flippers to swim with the fishies...

I'm sure whoever launched the boat will be up to their gills in lawsuits.

Afterwhich they won't be able to ballast their checkbook.
Perhaps a lone shark will be able to float them a loan....as long as it is on the level (of course). Oh buoy, me hopes whatever company takes this on has a star board of directors!
-
Guys, I expect you'll get a stern warning if this nonsense doesn't stop.
Poop deck. Just wanted to say that.

Mississippi, now you're just trawling. Stop trying to pirate the thread.

Does this thread lure new comments? It's up for de bait.
Are you just chumming around with me? Cause if you are, I might get stern.

Yacht-building sure is a finny business

I can be pretty contentious. I'm sure we'd have a row sooner or later. . .

It's easy to sea that this board harbours a yacht of prejudice against luxury spending.

Buoy there are a lot of nautical puns.

I'm drowning in the depths of a sea of laughter.
I need to stay aweigh

Whale then. You're approaching the length of an all-time favorite sea-pun text conversation: http://www.edudemic.com/texting-puns/ (http://www.edudemic.com/texting-puns/)

MTM: I must bow to your ability to turn a phrase. I just can't fathom it...I think I'm gunnel lose my mind if this keeps up.

Should we port this conversation to another medium so more can enjoy our witticism?

Now I can tell you are just trolling for comments. I almost fell for your suggestion hook line and sinker. Fortunately I could see you coming from a (nautical) mile away and will now lobby to deep six your idea.
-

Yes, I agree - too much of that is verboaten around here.

I know eh! I'm having a ballast reading them all.

No flapping in the breeze here hernandz! You clearly have a clew what you're talking about. No shrouding this telltale wit.
Just when I thought we're wrapping up - boom! Another joke has me keeled over.
-
Tankers for the compliment. I was afraid I had barged in and I would have to clam up, but you all are good fo'c'sle.
-
I hate you all.
-
I can't think of any good puns at the moment, but I enjoyed reading through this thread and smiled the entire time :)
-
I hate you all.
Do you harbour ill feelings? Well then...the quay to good humor is a reefer. So, for now I'm going to submarine this thread - let me know when it is safe to pier above the waterline again.

WELL DONE!
I have been trying to come up with a way to sneak that one in here.
I'm out of puns...or I haven't had my coffee yet

I've read this thread from stem to stern and buoy am I tired!

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Seas-r, not to praise him.
The eels that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;

Captain Ottawa likes to submerge himself in his work.
Also, if this thread is about to navigate a narrow channel we'll be in dire straits. However, if an Egyptian tried to make me sail the long way round I'd Suez canal.
If the sun is over the yardarm for you, consider some liquid refreshment to drown your sorrows.

*if it wasn't obvious, I was joking about the hate. I do, in fact, hate puns though.

good advice, but I didn't mean literally subscribe, just show up in my "unread replies" page. I think even deleting your posts won't help.

Damn...I was hoping I could blowhole your mind...turns out it served no porpoise

Don't worry. We otter be running out of steam soon.

I understand how such bubbly humor can be considered brackish. If I could just corral your thoughts on more appropriate wit? I naturally assume that your current aversion to pun humor suggest that you would also not wish to dive into the abyss of slapstick.

Shorely this would also sound like luna sea also to Piers Moargan and Ryan Sea Quest.
It's a trap! Also, don't call me Shorely. Call me Ismael, or Paul.
May the Force be with you

Oh, I get the feeling these first 60 or so posts are just the tip of the iceberg.

Great to see you weigh in...as I thought we had run out of steam.
*Note* Puns may be repeated with me, since I won't remember 60 posts!!

The tides have turned yet again!

Not to be crabby but this thread is a titanic waste, no use in denying that the mods have forgotten to lock it. Ah well, the ship has sailed now...

What is not funny is that 50 skilled tradesmen in the town of Anacortes are now out of work. The rich guy that commissioned this will not feel it. The woodworkers, composite workers, electricians, and riggers are already feeling the pain. These guys had nothing to do with the design, but now have no jobs.
It is a real shame, as Northern Marine has created some real beauties in the past. Many of the them commercial vessels which may have brought seafood to your table.
