It is a Rocna. I don't know if he coined the term or not, but I liked Dashew's phrase:
"You know your anchor's big enough when people at the dock laugh at how big it is".

I think the boat is very sleek and cool looking, so does my wife, who happens to be someone with actual taste. I like the Steve Jobs megayacht too, which in many ways looks like a blown up version of Windhorse.

I have a few more pictures from some other angles if anyone is interested. I thought the most striking feature of the hull bottom was the very short, almost center-board like inverse T shaped "keel". It turns out it is designed mostly to augment the stabilizers, and protect them some, and in concert with the propellor shaft skeg-struts allow the boat to sit on dry land.
