Octopus Yacht Attempts the Northwest Passage
Filed under: Yachts & Sailing
In California yacht watchers have been checking out the A yacht but far north a different yacht has been turning heads. CBC news says that the Octopus, Paul Allen's megayacht, has shown up in the High Arctic hamlet of Pond Inlet, Nunavut, on its way through the Northwest Passage. The 413-foot yacht has filed plans to attempt the Northwest Passage with the Canadian Coast Guard. The yacht has a 59-foot tender and a remotely-operated submarine as well as a twin helicopter hangar and two helipads. Even for a yacht this well outfitted, the Northwest Passage can be dangerous. Many vessels have run aground in the Arctic waterway. Luckily the ship has a strengthened hull for navigating the Arctic waters. It's not known if owner Paul Allen is on board, he's had his hands full lately with a patent infringement lawsuit that has him taking on Apple, Google and Facebook.
