166: BOAT Briefing: surf n' turf on The World, the OceanGate sub disaster and Instagram fame

In this week's episode of BOAT Briefing, Stewart is joined by Katia Damborsky, aka theyachtwriter, to discuss residential ship The World, the impact of the OceanGate disaster on the world of deep sea exploration, and the miraculous rescue of a man lost at sea by the Feadship W. In the news is the launch of the 47.5 metre Sanlorenzo Para Bellum, the sea trials of Feadship's 84.2 metre Obsidian and the new fastest superyacht in the world, the Bolide 80. The Bolide also inspires our data section, where we look at the speediest superyachts on the waves.
