Socialite Denise Rich Her ex-husband who is a tax dodger living in the Swiss Alps still funds her toys. She and elegant friends like Star Jones hang together. Classy !
Because boats are lost worldwide to poor weather conditions without immediate notification, it is not possible to answer this question.
Bobby G Stevenson - one of the founders of the systems integrator CIBER INC.
Bobby was one of the founders. One was killed in an auto accident, he was the brains of the firm. The other was bought out for pennies early on.
Bobby G is a firm negioatior but has not had a happy personal life.
Many many years ago I knew him personally. He is a very interesting human.
No. A private yacht owner/operator is not required to have any kind of a license (just a checkbook) as long as he is not taking aboard passengers for hire.

This beautiful yacht is owned by Otis Ingram of Ingram Entities in the Middle Georgia area.
Jack Setton is a well known and distinguished boat owner who has furthered the cause of yacht design. Over 40 years he has consistently ordered or built highly innovative and influential powered and sailing yachts.
In the past, sails were made out of a material called 'sailcloth' or 'canvas' which was originally made from hemp/flax fibers (linen). After the discovery of cotton this too was used as the source of fiber.
In modern times, sails are rarely made from natural fibers and most sails are now made from synthetic fibers including nylon, polyester, aramids and carbon fibers. These sails are stronger and will not let the wind though. (In the past sail canvas had to be sluiced down to make it impervious to the wind - this made the sails and rigging heavy).
In 1851 the the schooner America won the then 100 Guinea Cup off the Isle of White in southern England. Hence the trophy is named after the boat and not the country.
Ships are steered by a device called a rudder, which is operated from the helm.
