DeVos' Racing Yacht Windquest
What's a rich boy to do in his spare time? Maybe work with the Late Mother Theresa's Sisters of Mercy helping the wretched? Naw. How 'bout building homes for the HabÂiÂtat for Humanity? Naw. Donate money to medical research inÂstiÂtuÂtionÂs to find the cure for cancer. Naw ... We know! How about something toÂtalÂly useless like racing boats for some dorky "cup." Yeah, yachting!
Here's Dick Devos' 78 foot racing boat, the Windquest. But don't look for Dick in his Windquest any time soon because it's now up for sale. Looks like he's tradÂing in the Windquest of the sea for the Blowhard of politics.
The bridge in the background? It's not the MackiÂnac. We'll give you a hint, it's in San Fransisco.
WOW... Now that is written with attitude. I don't know anything about DeVos but, I scrape my nickles and dimes together after my 60 hour work weeks to go "YACHTING" on my 30' sailboat. Most of the people I am aquainted with that have the BIG boats do really give back lots to their communities. In both money time and projects.
If all DeVos is is a rich kid, that dosen't look good for the sport of sailing....

I know this is an dated ad but felt the need to respond. Dick DeVos has donated millions of dollars to the West Michigan community through charities and hospitals. He and his partner Jay VanAndel founded AMWAY products, became extremely wealthy through taking chances, hard work, you know the "American Way". It is too bad that ill informed individuals don't do their homework before revealing their ignorance!

Dude,
Your last sentence was right: we were talking about Dick JUNIOR, nor Dick SENIOR. Dick JUNIOR earned his money the old fashioned way, you know, by getting born into it.
