Re: The McMansion backlash



Speaking of yachts:


Higgins, Michelle. 2006. "The New Megayachts: Too Much of a Good Thing?" New York
Times (13 January).
  "Many megayachts have grown so big - sometimes as long as a football field -- that
their very size rules out docking at most marinas, which don't have large enough
slips to accommodate them.  To combat the crunch, Mr. Smith, vice president of
Trinity Yachts in Gulfport, Miss., one of the top custom yacht builders in the world,
has begun to design vessels based strictly on where the owners plan to take them."
