As you can tell by the background they are near land.  Not the safest place to sail at speed.  The anchor is the closest thing ships have to brakes in shallow water.  Ships do not have very good brakes.  As with land vehicles, the faster you go the less effective the brakes are at stopping on a dime.  The last ship I was on took six nautical miles to go from flank speed to dead stop.  The could also have the "anchor door" open because they are approaching or just leaving their anchorage.<br><br>I won't discuss how top heavy it may be cause we can't tell from that photo how much of the ship is under water and how long the superstructure is.  I will say that on most ships the heavier equipment is normally below the waterline and from the plimsoll line it is running a tad light.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cqdeed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 29th 2011 9:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Aga Khan's $200 Million Superyacht Snafu]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2011/03/28/aga-khan-200-million-superyacht-snafu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2011/03/28/aga-khan-200-million-superyacht-snafu/</guid><description><![CDATA[This beauty gave many people a job for 12 years...and now that it under performs, they are still employed probably for a couple more.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Edgar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 29th 2011 8:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Aga Khan's $200 Million Superyacht Snafu]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2011/03/28/aga-khan-200-million-superyacht-snafu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2011/03/28/aga-khan-200-million-superyacht-snafu/</guid><description><![CDATA[Gates and Turner each donated $5 billion to the UN, why did they not help the people here instead???

Madonna so far has wasted 2 million (after using 8 million to build it) on a school built in Africa.  Was Madonna born there?  No.  Is she a citizen of any African Country, No.  Did she ever use any services that a African country would have such as Medical, Schools, etc., No.  But so far she has wasted 10 Million in Africa on a school that might remain empty (the people there don't want to use it).  Madonna could had started a scholorship, added to homeless shelters, hospitals, anything here for people that need help!  Madonna adopted 2 African children, Madonna what about the thousands that are in foster care or ophanages here?  Oprah has done the same, built a school in Africa which is pretty much empty because of a sexual scandal.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pks29733steel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 29th 2011 11:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Aga Khan's $200 Million Superyacht Snafu]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2011/03/28/aga-khan-200-million-superyacht-snafu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2011/03/28/aga-khan-200-million-superyacht-snafu/</guid><description><![CDATA[Twelve.
