Not so much a yacht as a personal travelling island

I'm not big into yachts, but this one caught my eye. It's unlike any yacht I've ever seen before. It's more like a multi-level modern penthouse apartment than a boat. Check out the video.

It sleeps 12, has a crew of 20, uses ultra-efficient insulation and computer controlled skylight panels and can generate its own power and collect rain water. It claims to be able to make 4 energy-autonomous Atlantic crossings at a cruising speed of 12 knots.

The web site. The site has a lot of eye candy and the story behind the design.
