“Bono doesn’t know a thing about boats” – The Edge

Apparently we can’t only not trust the American news networks and newspapers anymore, but Britains news sources as well. Another U2 member has told the Irish Independant that he has bought the 140-foot yacht, The Edge. The Edge bought the yacht Cyan for $17.6 million and his wife has spent the last few months in the soiuth of France redecorating it. It has been the Edge’s dream to own a yacht and he and a few firends went in to buy the yacht Cyan, but apparently Bono has no part in it. The Edge is even quoted as saying “Bono doesn’t know a thing about boats.”

Several reputable sources are reporting that Bono, the lead singer of U2, has picked up the yacht Cyan. Built in 1997 the Cyan, formerly known as the Renalo, has been through at least one major retrofitting since its initial launch. This 140 ft yacht has six cabins with room for 12 guests and includes an on-deck Jacuzzi, swim platform and garage full of water toys among other ammenities. The Cyan charters for between $204,000-255,000.

The yacht was not listed for sale but the asking price was estimated to be somewhere around $21.8 million. It is reported that Bono and his family vacationed on the yacht last summer, and that since he has purchsed the Cyan he has repainted it blue and put in a new blown-out stereo system (big surprise).
