www.TheBoaters.TV EP 67 - The 114-foot luxury sailing yacht “Ring Andersen” was recently appraised at $3.2 million; yet when the bidding at a recent Norfolk, Virginia auction opened at $350,000, no one in the crowd bid. As of last Friday, there were two potential bidders on eBay: The top bidder bid $300,800 (note: there was a $650,000 reserve). Next up: The U.S. Navy is banking on the release and testing of the 80-foot “M80 Stiletto” to transform how the Navy operates a stealth fleet. For more info visit www.MShipCo.com.
