When Oracle Corp. Chief Executive Larry Ellison was in Auckland this year competing to sail in the America's Cup, he lived aboard his motor yacht Katana. Named for a sword carried by Japanese warriors, the 243-foot vessel features a duplex apartment and a basketball court. Who could want more? Ellison does. Katana is for sale for $68 million, says Diane Byrne, executive editor of Power & Motoryacht magazine. He's already commissioned a larger one from German shipbuilder Friedrich Luerssen Werft GmbH, Byrne says.
