Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Go for the Sea Eagle II. No sails so you eliminate some of the extra crew. Something that size you'd never set sails anyway and who needs all those extra people running around invading your privacy.

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, it must be electrical.

Gee you'd think they could afford an engine or two in a ship like that then.

Interesting difference in hull and sail designs. It does take megabucks to own, operate and maintain one of those ships. No ocean around here so I will have to pass on one for now.
