What a confusing vessel.

Where and what do you think would be an ideal use case?

If it flies, floats... etc.

Looks like it's undersailed.

'Showing off' comes to mind It is perhaps a little too bling inside though I agree.

I LOVE the bar area!

If you can afford it, then to use this and potter in an out of Cornish harbours, even a jaunt to the Sciliy Isles, fabulous.

Or, if you own a much bigger yacht, just as a ferry boat?

However, the lack of uncluttered deck area (you seem to either have to be inside, or else perched on something not designed as seating) would be a challenge for many prospective owners, I would think.

Speaking of use cases, I'm struggling.

It's definitely a striking yacht (boat? I'm not seekign to be confrontational reagrding correct nomenclature) but that quality and class has also to have some practicality for the buyer.

A copper bath (or whatever material it is) speaks of a bygone era - or a nice period property in a city somewhere, but isn't perhaps the nicety it at first seems on a boat that isn't designed for many people for an extended stay.

It is, undoubtedly, wonderful - but does its history and quality translate into usage for those looking at that price point?

Looking at the date and where it was built it's very possible one of my grandfathers had a 'hand' in building that. I wonder if the top joint of his left forefinger is anywhere on board?

Where is the butler who should be standing ready to wipe the owner's arse?

Shouldn't the toilet be a bit fancier than that - looks like a B&Q cheapy with a soft close lid!

Probably a Tecma electric WC - about £700, though how you're supposed to sit on it I'm not sure.

Here's the other one - truly a 'throne'!:

I used to work at a stately home and the gents staff bog was a built-in, wood panelled affair. The bit you sat on (if you really had to sit) was square.
So imagine the picture above but with the white porcelain fully boxed in.

That's what I'd expect here

Is that a step immediately below the throne? One is used to ones feet being on the ground, not dangling in the air
