If you could afford a yacht, wouldnt it be MORE fun if they could make a MODERN version of a Spanish Galleon?

Question

Using modern, and more durable materials and technolgy, wouldn't it be MORE fun to have a modern day Spanish Galleon, than some custom yacht (presuming you could afford, and were buying a NEW custom built yacht, as such that some people do). I just think that the whole "rear" of a Spanish Galleon, that has all those windows (not sure what they call that area), would make a fantastic MASTER bedroom. Why doesn't anyone make something like that anymore? If its $, there are people who spend millions on yachts. Is it an impracticle design for sailing? How much "space" would a galleon have? I would think alot more room than a typical yacht, would should be a plus, no? Anyway, tell me your thoughts.

Answer 1

They sailed down wind 4 knots need a crew of 80+ leaked like a siv> Had very little steerage>Drew 25' of water and were only maybe 5' inside>They were for carrying loads>Would not make a very good Yacht>
