World's biggest yacht unveiled

A new super yacht has smashed the record for 'world's biggest' - beating Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich's Eclipse by 57ft (180 meters). Commissioned by a mystery billionaire the colossal 590ft Azzam is the length of two football fields and cost a whopping $609 million USD. It hit the water for the first time last week from a shipyard in Bremen, Germany, after fours years of construction by the Lurssen Yachts company. The person who commissioned the project is still a secret, but reports speculate that the owner is member of the Saudi royal family. It can travel at 30 knots (34.5mph) and the interior has been decked out in the ultimate of luxury. "She represents another milestone in yachting history," said Lurssen Managing Partner Peter Lurssen. [Photo: CFP]
