My kind of superyacht - the Madiz is for sale

'Madiz best' .

Now that's my kind of superyacht and she is for sale. If I were to give up sailing and take up motor-yachting, that's the boat I'd buy - if only I had the 10.5 million dollars.

Yes, the world's oldest steel superyacht, Madiz, still steaming along in style nearly 110 years after she was launched, is being offered for sale for about $10.5 million. And not only does she have the lines of a real thoroughbred and is elegant from funnel to keel, she's had some pretty ritzy former users too, including the British Royal Family.

At 182ft. she's nothing as large as the big bullish superyachts of today, but she was built proudly by the Ailsa Shipyard in Troon, Scotland and originally christened the Triton.
