This monster pulled into Simpson Bay this morning. 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.

I am glad the mega mega yacht players are over at SXM. Gives us a break in the BVI. 😎

I believe that helicopters cannot land on M5, the one in the picture was landing on the megayacht behind her.

"the one in the picture was landing on the megayacht behind her."
That is what the OP stated.

Nice pictures several years ago I saw a helicopter take off a yacht in Simpson Bay.

Yesterday, I saw a helicopter taking off from the big mega-yacht that was close to the mega-sailboat. Impressive.
