Unique is a word that is easily overused, but when it comes to the overall aesthetic of the Ferretti Yachts Infynito 80, it’s an apropos descriptor. This is especially true when taking in the yacht’s forward section. Look closely. In lieu of the traditional open, sun-drenched foredeck, this motoryacht’s superstructure stretches over it, all the way to the near-plumb bow, creating a semi-open deck that benefits from breezes, provides unobstructed vistas, and offers some protection from the elements. The space measures around 140 square feet and, according to Ferretti Yachts, can be set up with a dinette that has an extended table for alfresco meals. Or it can have a bar counter—owner’s choice.

CALIFORNIA – Starting July 1, landlords will only be allowed to collect one month’s rent for the security deposit on a rental property.

Richard Jenkins, an Englishman trained in mechanical engineering, stepped into the limelight on March 26, 2009, in California’s Mojave Desert by setting a 126.1 mph (203 km/h) land sailing speed record. His landsailer Greenbird featured a sophisticated self-trimming wing sail with a forward-facing rod halfway up and tabs at the trailing edge of a separate fin that protrudes aft of the wing. This setup helped control the wing’s angle of attack with precision (at 126 mph, apparent wind is straight on the nose), so Jenkins could maximize power while expending minimal energy.

Billionaire Joe Ricketts has ordered crews to immediately stop construction of his long-planned Sublette County luxury resort, and restore the area to its natural condition. A project that would have made a tourist destination out of the tiny, sleepy Hoback River basin community of Bondurant has been called off because of protective wildlife stipulations that abbreviated the construction season. Ricketts sought an exemption from the seasonal restrictions, which he claimed in a memo obtained by WyoFile would have increased the cost of building the high-end all-inclusive resort by $60 million to $100 million, but his request was denied .
