 BOAT TEST: 2006 Heesen Man of Steel

While the owner and his family are continuing to enjoy Man of Steel--"He's thrilled to bits with it," Jenkins avers--they're already looking forward to their next boat, a 164-footer, also being built by Heesen. Given the mettle the 121-footer has shown thus far, it's logical to conclude that this is the reason the yard got the contract. But according to Jenkins, who's serving as the project manager, the owner actually signed the contract the day this yacht was launched, to take advantage of an earlier delivery date as compared to waiting a few months to sign a contract and therefore possibly having the delivery end up being in 2008.

No word yet on whether the larger yacht will display the Superman-like emblem that this Man of Steel shows off at her transom. Regardless, don't pass the news along to the members of the Justice League; next thing you know, Wonder Woman will want to trade in her invisible plane.
