Shame there wasn't a You Tube video of it being launched.  This one is still one of my favourites:

Why am I not surprised.
It even looks top heavy and with those big underwater holes in the hull it should have sunk like a stone.  %%

Its a real shame I think, kinda' looks like a toy boat   ok2  There's a video of it rolling over here at the bottom of the page:

 http://www.motorboatsmonthly.co.uk/news/536600/boat-fail-90ft-northern-marine-super-yacht-sinks-on-launch

Haven't watched it all the way through but the launch begins at around 2.23.

I like how you watch it capsize in the harbour/launch and then at the end they say it is now for sale!-- Who'd part with ready cash after seeing that %% %%

Always fit the big SLA batteries before putting it in the lake.  Didn't they test it in the bath first?
