This is the M5 super yacht and it is currently anchored in Drew Harbour on Quadra Island.
It is the largest single-masted yacht ever built and it is valued at over $50 million.
Yes, that is a float plane sitting on the back of the boat.

Like many other Quadra Islanders I was intrigued by this visitor.
It is impressive as an engineering feat, but also appalling as a
symbol of the growing inequality in much of the world.

Best viewed at original size.

I totally agree with your sentiments, impressive and at the same time appalling

So much opulence with so much suffering. V

Impressive, but I share your reservations. Displays of wealth are not exactly kind!

Intrigued and appalled. At least it's not using marine diesels.

The plane heightens the impression of size.

Fine shot of this impressive yacht, and right on both counts.
