Superyachts don’t get much more ‘cutting edge’ than this one. The stunning £70million ($90million) ‘Unique 71’ has a dramatic bow shaped like a giant knife, with its designers, SkyStyle, revealing that in fact Blade ‘was one of the possible names during the selection’. SkyStyle co-founder Lucas Colombo told MailOnline Travel that the 233ft (71m) vessel is designed for ‘comfort at high-speed cruising, penetrating into the air and water masses like a blade’. Onboard, the four-deck yacht features a sky lounge with a 914-sq-ft (85-sq-m) rooftop. Another highlight is a spacious water-level dining area at the stern. Lucas revealed that these areas…

This is the dramatic moment a 130ft superyacht sank off the coast of southern Italy after getting into trouble late at night. The ‘Saga’, which was built in Monaco back in 2007, was sailing from Gallipoli to Milazzo on the island of Sicily overnight Saturday when disaster struck. While crossing the Gulf of Squillace – at the toe-end of the Italian ‘boot’ – the vessel got into trouble, with the captain sending out a distress call late at night.

‘One guest requested chicken eggs from chickens that eat only worms. He wanted the maximum amount of protein in the eggs.’ Superyacht chief stewardess Martina Drezancic pulled the curtain back for MailOnline Travel on the ‘real’ Below Deck world – and revealed that she’s fulfilled a lot of unusual guest requests. She currently works on a 48m (157ft) boat that roams the Adriatic Sea called M/Y Freedom, which can accommodate up to 22 guests, boasts a cinema, gym, pool, hot tub, massage room and a ‘full menu of water toys’ – and costs between €80,000 (£67,000/$80,700) and €100,000 (£84,000/$101,000) a week…
Many parents dream of the day they can indulge in a few pints and ask their child to pick them up from the pub. But for one inventive dad, that moment came a little sooner than expected – after letting his little boy tow him home on a trailer behind an electric car. The mini-motorist and his very trusting passenger was spotted in the centre of Bognor Regis, West Sussex, last Sunday by bemused passers-by. Video: Hilarious video shows boy towing his dad home in a mini-car The dad is sitting on a chair on top of the trailer and…
A mother-of-five has revealed how she healed her body after carrying and giving birth to quadruplets naturally last year. Natalie Maree, 30, from Roebourne in Western Australia, said she used to think she had to get her ‘pre-baby body back’ as soon as possible after giving birth. But in fact it has taken her close to a year of hard work in the gym and careful eating to ‘heal’ her body, and even 11 months after the quadruplets’ birth she has to remind herself that ‘how my body looks is not a representation of my personality’. ‘It is ridiculously hard to…
A mother has illustrated the reality of childbirth by sharing three pictures of herself after having her quadruplet babies naturally in July. In one of the photos, Natalie Maree, from Roebourne in Western Australia, can be seen smiling in her gym gear with her T-shirt pulled up, while in the other two she has changed the angle of the camera on her body and pulled down her shorts to show her post-partum stomach. ‘You are so much more than your looks… These photos are taken less than one minute apart,’ Natalie captioned her Instagram photo. ‘Ugh the struggle. I know it and…
HE’S the unstoppable goal machine who’s often compared to The Terminator. But in real life, Erling Haaland is far from a robot, with a quirky, larger-than-life personality that has frequently left fans in stitches. Not only does the Manchester City striker, 22, have 35 goals to his name this season, but he also has a bizarre ‘cannibal’ diet and an astonishing wardrobe of luxury pyjamas. Mix that in with hilarious interviews, questionable ‘dark art’ tactics during matches and some very awkward run-ins with influencer supermodels and you have the makings of a truly once-in-a-generation striker. Here, we reveal seven ways…
AN ELEPHANT poops on her baby’s head — and seems to know what she’s doo-dooing. Locals in Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park told wildlife snapper Jens Cullman it is a bonding ritual that helps boost the little-uns’ immune system. German Jens, 50, said: “What I’ve heard is that when the baby get dung on it, it helps boost the baby’s immune system and maybe it’s some kind of bonding with the mother as well. I got photos of the calf looking towards me and then it gets up and the mum turns around and the calf follows her and then…
Airbus Helicopters and the French Armament General Directorate (DGA) tested the unmanned aerial system (UAS) VSR700 for the first time in an operational configuration from a ship at sea. At the beginning of May, the VSR700 performed 80 fully autonomous take-offs and landings from a civil vessel equipped with a helicopter deck, cruising off the coast of Brittany in the west of France. The next development steps will see the second VSR700 prototype perform its maiden flight ahead of flight testing onboard a French Navy FREMM during the second semester of this year. In 2022, the autonomous take-off and landing…
The Ivorian starlet sparkled on loan at Sunderland this season… Arguably the shining light for Manchester United this season has been emerging talisman, Marcus Rashford, with the England international having been far and away the club’s most clinical presence in front goal. At times it has appeared that the 25-year-old has had to shoulder the goalscoring burden on his own having now scored 29 times in all competitions to date – 18 more than second-highest scorer, Bruno Fernandes. After a difficult few years for the academy graduate – after notably scoring just four league goals last term – the dynamic forward now looks back to…
FOOTBALL fans have been left in hysterics after noticing a similarity between Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo’s pre-match habits. The Norwegian striker, 22, posed for a picture alongside his team-mates ahead of their Champions League semi-final clash with Real Madrid. And when the image was released, some eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out that Haaland was following in Ronaldo’s footsteps in more ways than one. Cristiano Ronaldo has been repeatedly caught standing on his tiptoes in group photos. Haaland was also pictured trying to grab a couple of extra inches standing next to Ederson. This habit of standing on…
The star of Fast X, among other action franchises, stands nearly alone as a consistent—and consistently satisfying—old school tough guy. Jason Statham Dwayne Johnson once called himself “franchise Viagra,” based on the fact that he was cast as a substitute lead for the sequels to G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra and Journey To The Center Of The Earth, as well as appearing in Fast Five for a long-proposed onscreen fight with Vin Diesel. Yet it’s his costar in the Fast spinoff Hobbs And Shaw who actually merits that designation. In a post-star system, Jason Statham is one of the few who can start a franchise based solely on his…
An injured baby elephant has been saved by a heroic rescue team after being caught in on a poacher’s snare and attacked with a spear. The one-year-old calf, named Simotua, had been left to die in in Kenya’s 15,000 acre Rumuruti Forest earlier this year. It is believed poachers left him to die after discovering that the young animal lacked the ivory tusks they were after. Scroll down for video The one year old elephant was suffering from a large spear wound to his skull and had a deadly snare wrapped around his leg – both of which were potentially…
While every driver should aspire to getting the dream car, these motorists’ cringeworthy modifications would have been better off staying in their imaginations – and not on the road. From cardboard spoilers to wonky wheels, a hilarious yet hideous online gallery has exposed some of the worst ‘Pimp My Ride’ attempts in the world. While some of them actually make driving nearly impossible, others are just plain ridiculous with designs that will make even the biggest boy racers shudder. It’s not just cars they’re interested in souping up either – a pushbike, motor home and pick up truck have also…
Positive signal from Marcus Rashford after he recovered from injury has brought hope to MU. On May 17, Marcus Rashford returned to practice with his teammates at MU’s Carrington training center before the match against Bournemouth in round 37, the penultimate round of the upcoming Premier League. The 25-year-old striker missed the “Red Devils” 2-0 win over Wolverhampton last Saturday (May 13) because of a calf injury. However, the British star was healthy enough to complete the lesson plan from the coaching staff in yesterday’s training session. According to the Daily Mail, Rashford hopes to return to play in the…

This particular little elephant strangely looked interested in a pile of dung lying on the ground. The pile of dung belonged to his mother.

THIERRY HENRY had to give Jack Grealish a quick telling off – but only after the Manchester City star dropped an accidental F-bomb. Grealish helped City into the Champions League final after they hammered Real Madrid 4-0 at the Etihad. The jubilant England international was left lost for words when speaking to CBS Sports and accidentally let out an F-bomb. Grealish, 27, said: “I’m a bit speechless at the moment, I don’t really know what to say. I’m f****g… sorry.” Pundits Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards were quick to laugh at the gaffe but Henry was more interested in getting…
KEVIN DE BRUYNE and Pep Guardiola had a furious spat during Manchester City’s Champions League semi-final win over Real Madrid. City dominated the second leg from start to finish and ran out 4-0 victors, winning the tie 5-1 on aggregate. But despite City leading 2-0, De Bruyne lost his cool at the beginning of the second half. He picked up possession and darted forward before losing the ball to Real defender Eder Militao. And instead of trying to win it back he turned around and shouted at his manager who stood on the touchline. The Belgian appeared to react angrily…
A mechanic has created an adult version of classic children’s car the Cozy Coupe – which cost a staggering £35,000. Petrolhead John Bitmead spent five months creating a life-size version of the child’s toy, and copied every detail from the yellow roof, to glassless windows and over-sized drinks holder. And although the kids’ version is well-known for running on pedal power, Mr Bitmead’s newest toy can do 0-60 in just 17 seconds – and has an 800cc engine. Scroll down for video Mr Bitmead, who created the car with help from his brother, Geoff, and friend Nigel Douglas, said: ‘I…
