The crew probably stow most of what you see during transits.

The vase must be attached or stowed; but I doubt this heels nearly as much as most yachts. However much money this is still full of engineering tradeoffs. If you loved sailing fast you would buy an AC75 that sails twice as fast and a comftable motor boat to sleep on.

And if you love "flying on water" that looks much more like it too
