The Smart Car is most identified by it's extremely short length — a mere eight and a half feet. This seems especially compact when parked next to this gigantic 125 foot maxi catamaran called he Cheyenne. I discovered this was Steve Fossett’s record breaking craft, the one that sailed across the Atlantic and around the globe with world-beating speed back in 2004. Now propped up at Nelson's Marine in Alameda, it looks stunning in the later afternoon sun — a dramatic contrast to the aging grey Navy vessels across the street.
