Nature our common welfare - 2007
The project came into being after a few years' attentive observation of our rivers and lakes water conditions. Young people from both Poland and Germany worked hard to elaborate a reliable report on water conditions in our lakes, thus demonstrating its value and welfare for the whole European Union. The report, warning that we cannot be passive and wait, was handed over to local commune authorities, our hosts. During our common classes, while executing measurements and tests, young people made better acquaintances and their contacts and friendships became closer. Certain elements of yacht and board sailing implemented into the project made it possible to develop further the young people's personality.

The term luxury yacht refers to a very expensive privately owned yacht which is professionally crewed. Also known as a super-yacht, a luxury yacht may be either a sailing or motor yacht. Image:Mirabella V.jpg An example of a modern luxury yacht; the Mirabella V under sail.This term began to appear at the beginning of the 20th century when wealthy individuals constructed large private yachts for personal pleasure. Examples of early luxury motor yachts include M/Y (motor yacht) Christina O and M/Y Savarona. Early luxury sailing yachts include Americas Cup classic J class racers like S/Y (sailing yacht) Endeavour and Sir Thomas Lipton’s S/Y Shamrock. The New York Yacht Club hosted many early luxury sailing yacht events at Newport, Rhode Island, during the Gilded Age. More recently, over the last decade or two, there has been an increase in the number and popularity of large private luxury yachts. Luxury yachts are particularly bountiful in the Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas, although increasingly luxury yachts are cruising in more remote areas of the world. With the increase in demand for luxury yachts there has been an increase custom boat building companies and yacht charter brokers. Luxury boat building and yacht charter companies are predominantly based in the United States and Western Europe but are also increasingly found in Australasia, Asia and Eastern Europe. European manufacturers such as Azimut-Benetti and Lürssen dominate the very top end of the yacht building market. Some yachts are used exclusively by their private owners, others are operated all year round as charter businesses, and a large number are privately owned but available for charter part time. Weekly charter fees range from a few tens of thousands of dollars a week to nearly a million dollars a week. This covers the wages of the crew, but not fuel, food and drink, or other incidental expenses. Yachts from 23 metres (75 feet) and up qualify for design awards from the Superyacht Society, but at the bottom end of that scale yachts will not necessarily be crewed and many set the minimum length for a superyacht considerably higher. From around 30 metres (98 feet) and up yachts are almost always crewed. A 45 to 50 metres (148 to 164 feet) yacht, the smallest with a generally accepted claim to superyacht status, will usually be a three decker with cabins for 12 guests (that is a preferred number, more common than either 10 or 14, and is found on yachts across quite a wide size range), and for a crew of a similar size. The accommodation on this type of yacht is typically as follows: Lower deck: exterior swimming platform at the stern; four (sometimes five) guest cabins with en-suite bath or shower rooms aft; engine room amidships; crew quarters forward. Main deck: sheltered exterior deck aft leading into the salon; dining room and galley; entrance amidships; owner's suite forward, usually includes either a study or a second twin stateroom. Upper deck: exterior deck aft, often used for outdoor dining; second salon (often called the sky lounge); staffed bar inside or outside or both; sixth stateroom will be amidships if it is not on the lower deck or part of the owner's suite; gym (may also be on the lower deck or part of the owner's suite); captain's cabin; bridge. Sun deck: on the roof of the upper deck, often features a jacuzzi. A 50 metre yacht will have one or more luxury yacht tenders for reaching shore and other "toys" which may include a speed boat or sailing boat, jet-skis, windsurfing and diving equipment and a Banana boat. Up to date yachts have multiple flat screen televisions and satellite communications. The number of really large yachts has increased rapidly since the 1990s and increasingly only yachts above around 65 metres (213 feet) stand out among other luxury yachts. Yachts of this size are almost always built to individual commissions and cost tens of millions of dollars (most super-yachts cost far more than their owners' homes on land, even though those homes are likely to be among the largest and most desirable). A yacht of this size usually has four decks above the water line and one or two below. It is likely to have a helicopter landing platform. Apart from additional guest cabins, which are likely to include one of more "VIP suites" besides the owner's suite, extra facilities compared to a 50 metre yacht will include some or all of indoor jacuzzis, sauna and steam rooms, a beauty salon, massage and other treatment rooms, a medical centre, a discotheque, a cinema with a film library, plunge pool (possibly with a wave-maker), a playroom, and additional living areas such as a separate bar, secondary dining room, private sitting rooms or a library. There will be more boats and "toys" than there are on a 50 metre yacht. As of 2006 yachts above 100 metres (328 feet) are still sufficiently rare that many yacht enthusiasts can name them all. They typically have five decks above the water line and two below. The very largest yachts have begun to incorporate such features as helicopter hangars, indoor swimming pools and miniature submarines. The burgeoning number of "small" super yachts has led to the introduction of the hyperbolic terms mega-yacht and giga-yacht to demarcate the elite among luxury yachts. This is a list of the world's longest motor yachts in order of their length. Whilst this closely correlates with other measures of size such as tonnage (a measure of volume), displacement (a measure of weight), or accommodation area, the correspondence is not exact, and the rankings should not be taken a definitive ranking by size. However length is the only measurement which is available for all of the world's largest yachts and it is generally used for comparison purposes. Large yachts are colloquially known as superyachts. Some published lists exclude yachts owned by or on behalf of heads of state and since these include the largest yacht in the world this leads to inconsistencies in reported rankings for all major yachts. Rising Sun, which is ranked third in the list below, is often stated to be the largest yacht in the world, and she is the largest yacht which is certainly owned by a private citizen, namely the American software tycoon Larry Ellison. The Al Salamah was once believed to be registered in the name of the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, but was then discovered to be registered in the name of Crown Prince Sultan and it is a matter of debate whether she is a state yacht or not. Publicly available information about the Saudi royal family's yachts is minimal. The largest Saudi royal yacht, the Prince Abdul Aziz, was owned by King Fahd and has most likely been taken over by his successor King Abdullah.
