Destination

Destination, $40 million worth of floating luxury, is barely a month old and still smells new, or maybe that was the smell of money.

Wooden panels, leather seats, wall-to-wall carpeting, touch-screen remotes, art-laden walls, air-conditioning, marble fittings and, naturally, computers that do everything but make the coffee.

Eighty workers slogged away for 22 months to complete the yacht in time for the America's Cup and her anonymous owner has already given his toy a personal makeover.

The many paintings on display are by New Zealand artists and his musical leanings are shown by the bust of Louis Armstrong, the saloon's centrepiece, and three large crystal replicas of a trumpet, violin and saxophone.
