It's the largest single masted sailboat in the world, approximately 246 feet long, 48 1/2 feet wide. That boat is 18 1/2 wider than my sailboat was long! The mast is 291 feet high. The other pictures are of Multiverse behind the sailboat with a helicopter landing on it from PJIA. It then left and is headed towards St Barths. Attached Images
