Read previewIt's been just about a year since Koru, Jeff Bezos' $500 million megayacht, set sail from the Oceanco shipyard in the Netherlands, capturing the attention of yachting insiders and land dwellers alike.
Unlike many other megayachts, Koru, which media billionaire Barry Diller's Eos inspired, is designed as a sailing yacht.
AdvertisementLike most other megayachts, Koru is powered by her engines, which are reportedly innovative in their use of a kinetic energy recovery system.
