Headline: Amazing Photos Of The Two Super-Yachts That This Hedge Fund Manager Can't Sell

"Apparently a whole lot of wealthy individuals bought super expensive yachts just before the financial crisis began, and because they take two or so years to build, they keep their old one until their new one is ready.

That method is typically hassle-free, according to the New York Times.

Except now, because of the crisis, sellers are finding no-one will buy their yachts - when back in the day, it was only a matter of time before you put your boat on the market, and someone snapped it up.

Hedge fund manager Peter Hochfelder, the founder of $3 billion AUM Brahman Capital Management, is in this predicament.

Hochfelder already owned a yacht, a 134-foot Lürssen, built back in 1995.
The interior of the yacht, called Blind Date, was designed by a renowned interior designer, and Hochfelder even described it as "sexy, cosy and soothing.""

Channel 7 news New York is interviewing the coast guard now.

They still have not found the boat. Oops.

Tweets saying it sunk.

Looks like they were fishing the Mud Hole.

Sandy Hook (by water) is actually very close to NYC.

HAHA

Its fake!

You must be a local.

If it is then whoever did it knows how to troll the media lol.

....been fishing there and out to the Canyon MANY times.

And just a thought, if it is fake, then it means someone either trolled the US coast guard, or pretended to be them, since that's where the initial reports were credited...

If that's the same boat, that's a great catch.

See? I was right.

Goddamn the background noise on the ABC feed is annoying.

True dat

If I was trying to be "stealth" I wouldn't have posted it.
...and "local" is relative in that area.
You act like you discovered something special.

Derp!



More interesting is this.....

"There were at least 21 people on the boat"

Sounds like one of the local party boats went BOOM.....not a private Yacht.
