Yacht delivery gone VERY wrong!

This incident should serve as a reminder (as if one should be needed) to all of us to always check EVERYTHING … no matter how excited we might be at the prospect of a job completed.

65′ custom-built motor yacht complete with 4 staterooms, a state-of-the-art galley, GPS System and radar for navigation, 
twin supercharged diesel engines, etc: 
$2,474,793.00

Champagne, chocolate covered strawberries with cream and music dockside for the excited ‘soon to be owners’ and a small group of friends:
$500.00

Two corporate representatives, crane, and rigging complete with faulty turnbuckle: 
$2,500/hour

 

(Note the owner in the stern / back of the yacht) 

Watching your dreamboat nose dive into the harbour, accompanied by two corporate representatives just prior to ‘inking’ the final paperwork…

Thank you to the original contributor.
