Design

Fountainhead's exterior was designed by De Voogt Naval Architects and her interior by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design. The hull is built of steel and the superstructure is made of aluminium, with teak laid decks. The yacht is classed by Lloyd's Register and flagged in the Cayman Islands.[8]

Performance

Her two propellers are powered by two 4300kW MTU 20V4000 M93L diesel engines.

The Fountainhead is owned by tone deaf billionaire, Edward Lampert, who drove Sears into the ground while reaping billions of dollars. The Fountainhead is also the title of a famous Ayn Rand novel, which purports selfish individualism is a better moral construct and the idea of coming together for the greater good of a nation is for losers. The boat easily could also carry the moniker "All About Me"
