This stunning classic 72-foot ketch Hurrica V was designed by Charles Nicholson in 1922 and built in 1924. Last year she was fully restored and re-launched to star in The Great Gatsby with Leonardo DiCaprio. In the story, it was this luxurious yacht that dramatically influenced the main character. After seeing it, the farmer's son decided to change his life once and for all.

The boat is now in Australia, awaiting its new owner. The modern Gatsby will have to pay $3,299,390 for her.
