THOSE WHO WANT the trappings of a super-yacht with the feeling of being on a wind-powered vessel should look no further than Hemisphere, the largest sailing catamaran in the world.
Designed and produced by Pendennis Shipyard, Hemisphere sits at over 44 meters (145 feet) long, or just under half a football field, and measures almost 17 meters (54.5 feet) across. Inside, the yacht can house up to 12 guests with two identical master suites along with multiple other bedrooms, all of which are stored in the boat’s hull.
The layout of the boat is simple: there is a bottom deck, which includes bedrooms for both guests and staff; a middle deck which houses the vast seating area; and a top deck which houses the Jacuzzi and tanning areas. Keeping the bedrooms in the hull means there is far more space for seating or eating areas, which helps the Hemisphere feel twice as big.
The yacht isn’t available to purchase, but it can be chartered for around $280,000 (£185,000) a week. The price includes access to the extensive water sports facilities and a full crew of 10, some of who are certified diving instructors.
Here’s what it looks like.

Brave hotel…

Mister gypsey? Ill be entering my boss so..
Gypsy *
So if we have ‘travellers’ have we any gypsies in Ireland ?
There the same thing
So why don’t they call themselves gypsies and be proud ?
You will have to ask them that
Because we are not the same .gypsy and travellers come from completely different backgrounds
I’m not an expert on this…. But I believe the Roma Community merged with the Travelling Community. However, the Travelling Community is by blood predominantly Irish. Being that the Travelling Community is a closed society, through the years they kept their coupling within the community.
So today, in Ireland the Roma Community and the Travelling Community are two distinct groups with some similarities.
Because they arent Gypsies.
Irish Travellers are a distinct Irish ethnic minority, who separated from the settled Irish community at least 1000 years ago; the claim was made that they are distinct from the settled community as Icelanders are from Norwegians.[25] Even though all families claim ancient origins, not all families of Irish Travellers date back to the same point in time; some families adopted Traveller customs centuries ago, while others did so more recently.[26] It is unclear how many Irish Travellers would be included in this distinct ethnic group at least from a genetic perspective.
Irish Travelers are Irish!
I am not so sure 1000 years is enough for any sort of genetic variation, specially considering that there would be cases where this separation you speak of would break.
“I am not so sure 1000 years is enough for any sort of genetic variation”
Your concerns have been noted.
We don’t have travellers left here, this generation are sponging good for nothings who use the traveller title and name as an excuse to be a scourge on society.
If they separated from the community years ago, why do they take our dole, rent allowance etc. without giving anything back but sh1te to the community ?
This should be good…
Pikeys either way
Jaysus! Imagine the smell of piss at it!!
Lovely stuff.. they won a weekend in a layby
Wonder will the bar be open?
A Paegent, judged by people not from their community buy from the fashion and media circles? Why was their no educator on the panel? Sounds like there young men and women are being manipulated yet again.
There, their and they’re.
So when are the Mister and Miss Traveller contests starting?
Neglected minority???!!! Would you ever go away and F_ck yourself. You separated yourselves from society because you can’t be anyway civilised!
If it doesn’t make …… Follow the money. Someone is profiting from this.
……..make sense……. Sorry.
have your say
