ORIGINAL: popeye1250 Well, wouldn't it help him to stay in touch with the "common man?" Well, John Kerry traded in the "Scaramouche" for a much bigger and more expensive boat,...er, Yacht build in Australia. And at 76' you'd need a crew of six to crew this boat, Capt, First Mate, Engineer, Cook, Hostess/Server, Deck Hand. Oh, and then there's a small matter of "taxes" as the article explains. http://www.bostonherald.com/track/inside_track/view/20100723senator_skipper_skips_town_on_sails_tax/srvc=home&position=1 The most interesting thing about this to me is his hand in the destruction, thru taxation, of the American boatbuilding industry; which is why he had to buy it in Oz. He made his money the old-fashioned way: he married it.
