Probably not for himself but sad that a thing that was precious to him had been damaged as a result of somebody else's screw up.

A few years ago I had my new car wrecked by a couple of idiots taking it for a road test after its first service and obviously "seeing what it would do". I wasn't feeling sorry for myself but I made certain sure the fools that ruined my car did, I ensured they were sacked.

Well not really. Boats such as that while ocean passage capable aren't always good for heavy weather and are usually bought for coastal cruising or just floating gin palaces so transporting them to where they're wanted makes good sense.

Spending for spenging's sake - even if so then why not? His money, his choice what he does with it.

Apparently he is trying to sue the company that owned the cargo
ship but he complicated the matter by having the cradle the yacht
was resting on, made by his own people, and as the collapse of
this cradle in a storm caused the yacht to disappear overboard
and become a total loss ?
Now the lawyers take over and it is likely that the final cost will
multiply exponentially??
Oh who wants to be a billionare??

If he wanted a gin palace Todge , why make it out of carbon fibre?
His yacht was not meant to be a toy, it was meant to be used and
enjoyed and the rougher the weather the better for most yachtties?
This fool even deprived some skipper of the pleasure of sailing
the boat to ltaly for him, while he indulged himself otherwise?
He didnt want anyone else enjoying one of his toys !!
Ring any bells?? LOL?

Re: Unlucky billionare loses his £30milion yacht??

This story is over a year old. The yacht had been used for races, and was being shipped back from the USA to Italy (for a regatta) after a Transatlantic race, when the freighter was hit by a storm in the Mediterranean near Majorca.
