And there is.

A 394-foot mega-yacht, owned by a Russian billionaire, docked Wednesday near Sausalito in the San Francisco Bay.

The boat, designed to be longer than a football field by the legendary French designer Phillipe Starck, cost $300 million to build.

The stories behind that ship are interesting.....
 
They are gonna find him, machined gunned, in the back seat of his Mercedes some day... Russia today is like Chicgo during prohibition... He is very rich because he is very quick and slick and well connected... But sooner or later, anyone PUtin thinks is a threat meets a bad end...

I have heard that the Russian mafia is better armed than the Kremlin. True or false?
 
There are some nice ships here right now.

Including Larry Ellison's sailboat that had trouble sailing under the Golden Gate bridge because its sails were too tall.
