Instead of a flying bridge... looks like that nice boat has a flying house!
Nice
Though I do wonder why you wouldn't continue the run fwd on the skeg making it horizontal and run it out to zero.
Gonna check this out next time I'm in Coos Bay...

It's a Great Harbour 74.
I guess they drink a lot of rum with 6600 gal fuel and 50 gal water!!!

Why drink rum? And what would that even have to do with fuel and water capacities?
Well in the old, old days, water wasn’t safe to drink on board, so they drank fermented beverages instead. I think with only 5-0 gallons of freshwater on board but globe-trotting fuel capacity they might need to do the same - though it might have a water maker. The heads might use raw water also -they’re out there, I’m looking at a passagemaker trawler with two of them.
Could also be a typo [emoji6]

Hence the birth of IPA! I was mostly joking but even with a watermaker I'd think a ship that size carries more than 50 gal water. Most likely a typo.
Rains a lot here, would only take 20 mins to fill a barrel from a tarp on deck!Ahh, ok, got it. Of course a boat like that will have a watermaker, no issue at all.

Does it exist, or are they looking for the first customer?

Dont know, but its a well known builder. They say 1000 gallons water, and of course will have a water maker.
Not sure why you'd want to carry 1000 gal of water while having a watermaker.
Fresh water can also be used as ballast. My N46 housed the FW in the keel. I think it carried 600 gal of FW. I installed a 150 gpd 12vt water maker.
Good question, but try this premise: you’re taking your vessel on an extended cruise to remote destinations (South Pacific, Tierra del Fuego, Indian Ocean) and your water maker conks out, leaving you with only a half full 200 gallon tank of potable water.
Oh oh.
Perhaps consider acceptable water tankage based on a percentage of displacement. A recreational “trawler” may carry 20-25% of its weight in liquids. A certain amount for fuel and the balance for water.
So 1000 gallons of water in a 100 ton boat would be equivalent to 140 gallons in a 14 ton boat.

I understand why you'd want to keep weight low in the boat, but relying on fresh water as ballast doesn't sound like the smartest idea. The boat's stability relies partly on how full your water tank is?
If the considerably large water tanks are only partially filled... their baffles must work wonders for stabilizing-factors on the thousands of pounds of liquid when out in rough water... especially in any %age of beam angled seas.
