The 142.81 metre sail-assisted motor yacht “Sailing Yacht A” (L) and Super yacht “Motor Yacht A”, both owned by Russian tycoon Andrey Melnichenko, are seen in front of the Monaco harbour, May 4, 2017. A pair of superyachts worth a combined total of £600million took to the high seas together today. The £360million ($467,3million) “Sailing Yacht A” was joined by the £240million ($311,5million) vessel “Motor Yacht A” in Monaco, the playground of the rich on the French Riviera. Billionaire Andrey Melnichenko’s Sailing Yacht A is among the largest in the world – measuring an epic 330ft (100,5m) high and 470ft (143,2m) long. The huge luxury yacht is manned by Merchant Navy trained sailors and is as big as a medium sized cargo ship. It has eight decks, a helicopter pad, an underwater observation room and a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system. (Photo by Stefano Rellandini/Reuters)
