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

Looks to me like his yacht required a fair sized crew to sail it. Doesn't look like a gin palace nor a toy to me

Maybe he wanted to rest the crew prior to the forthcoming regatta in Italy?

He probably didn't get where he is today without the odd insurance claim.

Is there any particular reason why he shouldn't make a claim if he has paid for it? Thought that was the nature of insurance
