Janice of Wyoming

Earlier today, as we were driving over the Golden Gate Bridge, we saw a huge mast rising above the trees near the the St. Francis Yacht Club. We walked down to the water and checked it out

It turned out to be a massive sailboat with the unlikely name of "Janice of Wyoming". I found a PDF about it here. Googling only reveals that it was sold "to an american owner". That red hull to the left isn' a rowboat! Janice of Wyoming is 130 feet long with 6720 square feet of sail (624 m^2). It also has two 40 kW generators and a 600 brake HP motor!
