    I'm sure they have thought of every way possible to make that yacht as safe as can be.

    HOWEVER, I do not believe that any vessel existing in the world could handle a true "rogue" wave.

    But I'm sure that yacht is about as safe as can be under realistic conditions. Pretty stunning might I add

    im sure they did. but theirs no way of stopping it.

    a rogue wave can be upwards of 100 ft high and travel at speeds over 40kph (est)


    i believe over the summer a cruise liner was hit by one and nearly capsized,

    if a rogue wave can nearly drop a cruise liner. what makes u think that thing has anything but a snowballs chance in hell?

    I beg to differ, a US navy warship with the right material conditions set could survive a true "rogue" wave.

    Boats have survived them but with lots of damage. I imagine a decent rogue wave would take any US ship out of the game for a bit.


    These things take out ships many tens of times bigger than this yacht....thus why worry about a rogue wave in this vessel? Doesnt matter what design the thing is. Its going down.

    As an Architect, All I can say is WOW

    I have seen few land based homes designed this well. Truly beautiful!
