Above the cabin is not all decks, but an indoor helm station, all of which, with the exception of the rear, is sealed with UV-resistant tempered glass and carbon fibre material. The 25-meter-long stout mast passes right through the middle of the front windshield of the bridge, like a natural split, so harmonious that you won't notice that it's a mast unless you look closely. There is only one steering wheel in the middle of this indoor helm station, and since the sails are not too tilted, there is no need to set up two double steering wheels on the left and right.

Above the helm station, there is a second deck, where there is a small open-air helm station, also located behind the mast. Above it is the mast, which can be manually adjusted by standing here, and the only thing to note is that tall people over 190 cm tall should pay attention to their heads and not let the mast hit. Hong Tao asked the designer to set the height of the mast at 191 cm, which is 3 cm higher than his own height, even if he wears shoes, he doesn't have to worry about the mast hitting his head, but it is difficult to say that people who are taller than him, according to his urine, it is estimated that he will not remind people.

The deck area of the new ship is also more than double that of the Mad Mouse III, which is divided into two parts: front and rear. The aft deck, which is mostly covered by a roof extending from the helm station, has sofas, round tables, pinballs, and massage beds, which is a relaxation area, while the foredeck is completely open-air, just in front of the mast, half of the deck is the hull, and half of the deck is a tight woven net bed, just between the two pointed bows on the left and right of the catamaran, suspended below. If you lie on this mesh bed to bask in the sun, it will be very fun and exciting, and the sea is more than 2 meters below you. When the sailboat is moving, it is like a whole person floating on the sea.

Finally, there's the stern. There is a fishing area with sliding seats for trolling. There are also live fish tanks and bait tanks for fish. There is also a jet ski on each side of the stern, the only drawback is that in order to maintain the overall strength of the hull and take into account the harsh sea conditions of the ocean, the stern cannot be lifted by hydraulic lifting, nor can it carry oversized and heavy water equipment, such as speedboats. If you think of this boat as an offshore party sailboat, you can carry a 4-meter speedboat at the stern.

In keeping with the artistry and conceit of the French, the sailboat was designed to be very European, and almost every piece of equipment and appliances was made of European products. Siemens, Volvo, Osram, and Philips are full of brands, but only one GPS system and two hydroelectric power systems are products made in the United States. For this thing, there is indeed a gap between the performance of products in European countries and the United States, and the French designers did not forcibly install it for the sake of face, although they are conceited, but they are not stupid, and giving customers the best things is the only way for the company to develop in the long run.

In addition to its shape and layout, this new aluminium catamaran has a lot of substance. The deck was laid as much as possible where teak could be laid. The furnishings in the cabins are also made of teak and oak zuò, and the workmanship is distinctly Italian. There are many inlay techniques used, such as gold, silver, copper, and leather jewelry, which can be seen everywhere, which is luxurious. without losing elegance and solemnity. What Hong Tao likes the most is the oak carved bed in the master bedroom on the port side, which is 2.5 meters long and 3 meters wide, and the corners are round. At the head of the bed is a statue of a female sea god with a bare ass and a three-strand fork.

In addition, Hong Tao also asked the designer to make four fresh water tanks, each 200 liters, and the fuel tanks almost ran through the two bottoms. When fully filled, it can be loaded with 2,000 litres of diesel, enough to power two Volvo 110 hp diesel engines at full speed for 12 hours. Even if the mast is broken, the ship can still travel at a speed of about 4 knots for half a day.

The price of the new sailboat is about the same as a two-story home with a half-acre yard, and it was bought in places like Los Angeles and San Francisco, where housing prices are relatively high, and the total price is more than $800,000, including freight and the cost of the engineer's travel. Of them, $100,000 was used to pay for overtime, because according to Beneteau's plan, the ship would take about a month to complete, and Hong Tao bought it for $100,000 for a month.

When Hong Tao and Mrs. Hilton and her daughter arrived at the dock the next morning, the sailboat had been fully installed and was quietly parked in the middle of the pier, and everyone knew which ship to go in front of without Hong Tao's guidance, because it was so different that it could be recognized at a glance in the middle of a decent field of yachts and sailboats. In particular, the colorful rat head on the side of the ship was painted by the French in a more literary style, with two slender mouse eyes and a slitted one, as if flirting with every woman passing by, and it was so sullen that it could not be more sullen.

"Mrs. Hilton, legend has it that after the ship is built, except for the workers, the captain of the ship will ask a person he thinks is the luckiest to be the first to get on the ship, so as to bring good luck to his ship, do I have the honor to ask you to be this person?" Hong Tao's cousin was even more sullen, you said that you are a Chinese, and you also played Western etiquette, holding your chest with one hand and stretching forward with the other, with a flattering smile on your face, making up a story that the captains of the whole world have never heard.

"Call me Kathy, that's what my friends call me...... But I've heard that it's unlucky to let a woman on board, isn't it?" Mrs. Hilton couldn't help but laugh out loud when she let Hong Tao's sycophant pat him, but she deliberately pinched it.

"That's an ordinary woman, you are definitely different from them, it's my honor to invite you, please......" Hong Tao slapped a small amount on the back of the slap, and then grabbed Casey's outstretched left hand, as if holding the Queen Mother Xi, and sent her to the back deck step by step.

"It's so big! Mom, it's bigger than the Duke's yacht we sat on in England, and this sofa is still leather! Calfskin!" followed by Casey were two little girls, Paris and Nikki had already pounced on the big sofa on the back deck before Hong Tao, the owner of the boat, could speak, and they jumped on it with their shoes on.

"This is Italian furniture? I know this signature!" Casey's mother didn't mean to persuade her daughter in the slightest, she was afraid that she didn't have this concept in her head, and the only thing that attracted her was the nameplate of the furniture maker, which made her find a little sense of accomplishment.

"That's right, I don't know much about it, this ship was designed and built in France, and I don't know why those French designers got a cabin of Italian furniture, just right, you're an expert in this area, please, ma'am!" Hong Tao waved his hand at the three Radhas who followed behind him, signaling them to go about their own business, don't bother, and then led Casey into the cabin through the hatch on the back deck.

"Of course, French designers use Italian furniture, it's tradition. No wonder I have a natural affinity for this ship, the American designers are too rude to navigate such delicate lines, and the things designed are often stupid and stupid. I love French ...... That's where people with a natural sense of art should live...... Oh, the perfect match! I have to say, Aite, your choice is really too correct, originally I thought you were just a young man who loves sports, but I didn't expect your taste in life to be so romantic. After entering the cabin, Mrs. Hilton admired the furniture inside, and told Hong Tao about the origin of each brand while looking at it.

"Shall we sail the ship then?" It is about to show you what it is really capable of, except for these beautiful furniture, it is first and foremost a ship, and a good ship is one that can run on the sea, you say?" Hong Tao's head was almost dizzy, and in order to save his brain cells, he had to interrupt Mrs. Hilton's chattering speech.

"Okay, then let me see its real ability, and the ability of your little mouse......" Mrs. Hilton was not angry at Hong Tao's faux pas, but agreed to Hong Tao's request with a smile, and gently patted Hong Tao's ass when she said the word ability.

"Obey the ......" Hong Tao can be regarded as fighting for this crystal fund, turning a blind eye to this kind of harassment from a mother of two children, and has to greet him with a smile.

Mad Mouse! is the name of the new ship. Hong Tao didn't want to go back to the fourth or fifth generation, so he just started over. With the cooperation of Hong Tao and the three female crew members, the two-hull boat slowly left the dock and sailed steadily in the Hudson River.

"Why don't you raise the sails? Isn't this a sailboat?" yachts are probably not too new to the Hilton family, but they probably haven't had much contact with sailboats. When Hong Tao was busy with the departure operation in the cab on the first floor, the two little girls and their mother also followed, watching Hong Tao operate the steering wheel and issue various passwords, and finally Paris, who was more impatient, couldn't help but raise the question in her heart.

"Come, elegant young lady, put on the captain's hat and try what it is like to be a captain. We have to wait for the sails to be hoisted, and when we get out of this waterway, we can fly!" Hong Tao always had a bad feeling about this little girl, although she had just graduated from junior high school now, but whenever she thought that she was a well-known controversial figure in later life, she would involuntarily pay more attention to her, which is probably also a sympathy of the same kind.

"Nikki, I'm the captain, then you're the sailor, and I order you to go and raise the sails!" Paris was not at all frightened, and stood in front of the steering wheel generously, and fiddled with the big guy as tall as her a few times, thinking that it was not too enjoyable, so he turned back to her sister and slashed at her.
