*Imagine this and playing golf for a living !*
*Now that's a double whammy !*
: *
*
*Greg Norman's Yacht...
*
*/Greg Norman/**/,/**/ 'The Shark', recently took
delivery of his new toy,
named 'Aussie Rules',/**//**/which he helped design.
At 69.5 meters (228 feet) in length, it's the
world's largest aluminum and composite private yacht.
/*
*//*
/*He had it built for*/*//_only_/ /$70 million
dollars !/
/**
**/The company meant to build it for him 'at cost'
in return for the/**/
*excellent advertising of having him as an owner,
but they actually*
*lost money on it.*
/*/
/*/When he first cruised into Sydney Harbour ,
onlookers remarked, 'It's massive!/**/
*Nearly three times the size of the ferries in the
Harbour!' I n addition to being*
*opulent, it is also built for Jacques Cousteau type
fun and exploration !*
/*
*/There is onboard diving equipment for 30 people,
including a decompression
chamber and two (2) huge compressors. Dives of all
types can be accomplished
by operating the Nitrox Mixing Panel onboard,
enabling each guest's air tank
to be customized with a mixture of gases.
/*
*/To get people out to those choice dive spots, or
maybe just for having a bit
of a splash, the following additional 'small' boats
are kept onboard;
/*
*/42-foot Custom Built Game Fisher' can be launched
and retrieved from
the deck; perfect for a 4-person overnight fishing
expedition it has a
gourmet galley for cooking up the catch while it's
still fresh;
30-foot SeeVee for a quick afternoon fishing trip;
/*
*/22-Foot Novurania Equator with a meager 800
horsepower so you
can get to the best diving sites ahead of everyone
else; it has
beach landing capability as well;
/*
*/(2) 18-Foot Hewes Bonefishes for those special
occasions when Greg and
a close friend may wish to maneuver over the sand
flats in Key West , Florida;
/*
*/13-Foot Narwhal Rescue Boat, in case someone falls
off one of the other boats.
/*
*/And ...... finally,
(4) Yamaha Wave Runners!!!

/**/Now,after looking at these pictures,
don't you wish you had taken your
golf game more seriously ?!?! /*
I know a lot of the people at Austals where it was built found him to
be one of the most objectionable people they had ever had the
displeasure to work with plus he promptly sold the boat for a profit
