In his book about Apple's founder and leader, the highly regarded American biographer Walter Isaacson wrote that Jobs had said: ‘'I know that it’s possible I will die and leave Laurene with a half-built boat. But I have to keep going on it. If I don’t, it's an admission that I’m about to die.'

It looks like a floating IKEA store.

Wow what an incredibly dull looking boat! I wonder how long it is before his wife puts it on ebay! Also I was dissapointed to not see a giant apple logo on the back!

what an awfull monstrosity. It looks like a kid of three made it from Lego or used match boxes
There are no gracefull lines at all . That must be the ugliest thing afloat,

ugly or what
30/10/2012 13:01
Designed via Etch-a Sketch.
This is what you get when you use Lego to illustrate your ideas to a boat builder.
The ugliest waste of money I have ever seen.
Peace.

Not the best of looking yacht's.

Looks like a barge a very expensive barge!

I'll bet Steve Jobs had Phillipe Starck designs in his home. That's not a good enough reason to ask him to build a boat! Its hideous.

Oh Dear! I hope the glass is tougher than that used on a certain phone.....

A bit of luck it will sink and that will be the end of the biggest load of crap on the high seas, mind you the fish will probably push it back to the surface to get rid of it

It look hideous
30/10/2012 13:17
Just as well he was depending on making a living from IT and not ship design!!

It looks vile! But what would you expect from a man who is famous for 'designing' an orange juice extractor that looks like a rocketship from the Dan Dare comic strip?
30/10/2012 13:57
I wouldn,t say it,s the ugliest boat I have ever seen but it,s well in there,Are you sure it wasn,t designed by Stevie Wonder.
30/10/2012 13:35
It will be replace in 6 months with a new one, with a better (wind) screen

Is it me or does the front bow look completely flat, a bit like someone took a big knife and just cut the front end off.

It appears that today's ugly designs for Ships and Yachts are presently fashionable. With reference to the QM2, I have sailed a number of times in the Solent passing the QM2, which one can only be described as (and quite often I believe) an apartment block with no sleek designs from the exterior of the Ship

There is SOME good in EVERYTHING !.
Also I wrote my post before knowing what the other contributors had said, and they appear to be in total agreement.
Whoever allowed themselves to design this carbuncle has to ask themselves why a tortoise (one of the world's slowest animals), is also one of the world's most aerodynamic animals, then you will see what happens even in a slight breeze.
A square block on a non-fixed hydraulic base !.
If anything good came out of that great man's death, it is that he is not here to see it.
Peace.
