Our popular Megayachts forum gets a good two dozen posts or so on a daily basis, but on Wednesday there was that amount of activity just in the thread devoted to Carinthia VII (ranked #12 on our exclusive feature "The World's 100 Largest Yachts"). It all started when forum member zippie stumbled across a photo of the yacht posted on Flickr. She bore a new name: Sylvia I.
Immediately keyboards started pounding and tongues started wagging worldwide, as everyone tried to guess whether the photo had been doctored. Even I had to wonder; if it had been, the guy was good at PhotoShop. A quick e-mail to Lurssen, and the truth was revealed: The joke was on all of us. I'm sure that wherever he lives, the photographer is still laughing; he got 293 page views of his photo in one night.
Love the new site! Love to get the lowdown from the people in the know first hand! Yachting has been crying out for something like this for a while! Keep up the good work!
