Dear Editor:
Re: Moored boat affects city's view corridor, Jan. 1.
I cannot believe that someone is suggesting that the luxury yacht Attessa IV is compromising the view down Lonsdale Avenue.
As we look down Lonsdale through a jungle of concrete highrises the first thing you will usually notice is a large rusting freighter anchored in the harbour behind the Attessa. The size of the Attessa is dwarfed amongst this ribbon of concrete and steel.In my opinion, the Attessa IV is a beautiful addition to the other sites that can be seen and photographedfrom the quay. In fact, apart from the Vancouver city view, I would suggest that this beautiful luxury yacht is the next most photographed item from the quay
If you look on the Internet, you will find that this yacht is one of the world's top 25 super yachts (by length) and is the largest super yacht launched in North America.The writer considers this view a blocker? I wonder what your readers who have lost their view of the harbour through "density dash" highrises think.
