The opening view on the video, it looks like a Star Destroyer from Star Wars.

That's a Youtube video.
Owned by Google, the company Stevie vowed to destroy.

| The newspick article called it "pretty".
Sorry, but there is absolutely no
way that anybody with taste could call that
thing pretty. There isn't a
compound curve in sight except for the bare
necessary under the beam -
necessary due to hydrodynamics while in forward
motion. Compare that to yachts
and schooners built from wood a century ago
- and even some steel warships from
that time, though later ones were more
consistently so.
Worse, the
superstructure has been built with zero regard for windage in any
direction.
Acceptable for a utilitarian freighter or tug, but looks ugly as sin on
a
yacht.
Well-designed vehicles generally have some elegance to them which is
visible
even to the untrained eye. Consider pretty much *any* Lockheed
aircraft, or
indeed a Tatra 603 which can still achieve 30mpg on the motorway
with it's
1950s designed engine. I would have severe doubts about the
performance,
efficiency and handling of that boat.
And the control deck
involving so many iMacs... yeah, good luck obtaining
service parts for them in
10 years' time. Some of those century-old yachts
are still afloat and
sailing.

But the external certainly doesn't contain what I would consider to be
graceful curves.
As is said: Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder!
