Philippe, Doug - The fuel lines must be the size of fire hoses.  This  
is definitely one of those situations to which the phrase "if you have  
to ask how much it costs (to run, in this case), you can't afford it -  
and don't forget the crew costs, too.

I just looked at a charter website and learned you can get it for  
$140,000 per week if you're not in the mood to buy.

That said, I have to admit, even as a sailor, she is one pretty boat.


Regards,

Dick
