While there are many 50 something foot cruising monohulls on the market, none of them sport an interior quite like the JP 54. Pioneered by IMOCA 60 legend Jean-Pierre Dick and designed by short-handed sailboat designer of the moment, Guillaume Verdier, the boat is described (on the JPDICK Yachts website - http://www.jp54.fr/) as being "at the intersection between the world of extreme sport... and the world of luxury and know-how."

For a cool 1.5 to 2 million Euros, you too can imagine what JP Dick might have been dreaming of during his two Vendée Globes and two winning Barcelona World non-stop races around the planet: the luxury of a high class Japanese-style capsule hotel perhaps, with NASA-shuttle efficiency of space and all the amenities of home?
