>   See what kind of boat GOLF could bring you? 
> 
>   Greg Norman, "The Shark", recently took delivery of his new toy, named 
> "Aussie Rules", which he helped design. At 69.5 metres (228 feet) in 
> length, it's the world's largest aluminum and composite private yacht. 
> 
> 
>  He had it built for only $70 million dollars. The company meant to 
> build  it for him "at cost" in return for the excellent advertising of 
> having him as an owner, but they actually lost money on it. 
> 
>   When he first cruised into Sydney Harbor, onlookers remarked, "It's 
> massive! Nearly three times the size of the ferries in the Harbor!" In 
> addition to being opulent, it is also built for Jacques Cousteau type 
> fun and exploration. There is onboard diving equipment for 30 people 
> including  a decompression chamber and two huge compressors. Dives of 
> all types can  be accomplished by operating the Nitrox Mixing Panel 
> onboard, enabling  each guest's air tank to be customized with a mixture 
> of gases. 
> 
>   To get the people out to those choice dive spots, or maybe just for 
> having a bit of a splash, the following additional "small" boats are 
> kept onboard: 
> 
>   42-Foot Custom Built "Game Fisher" Can be launched and retrieved from 
> the  deck. Perfect for a 4-person overnight fishing expedition. Has a 
> gourmet  galley for cooking up the catch while it's still fresh. 
> 
>   30-Foot SeeVee for a quick afternoon fishing trip. 
> 
>   22-Foot Novurania Equator with a meager 800 horsepower so you can get 
> to  the best diving sites ahead of everyone else. It has beach landing 
> capability as well. 
> 
>   (2) 18-Foot Hewes Bonerfishers for those special occasions when Greg 
> and  a close friend may wish to maneuver over the sand flats in Key 
> West,  Florida. 
> 
>   13-Foot Narwhal Rescue Boat in case someone falls off one of those 
> other  boats. 
> 
>   And finally, just for the hell of it, 4 Yamaha Waverunners!!! 
> 
>   Good grief already! Kind of reminds me of one of those Russian 
> Matryoshka  Dolls where the little ones just keep coming out of the 
> bigger one! 
> 
>P.S. to Bob Matthews: hope SeaTel got the Marisat antenna(s) contract !!!
