Court sinks hopes of yacht owner’s neighbor

An appeals court ruled in favor of a Cocoplum man who wants to keep his 122-foot yacht in the waterway behind his home — much to the chagrin of his next-door neighbor.

It’s not the mega-yacht’s two stories or its 216 gross tons, but its protruding bow: more than 20 feet of which was encroaching along the seawall of neighbor Yife Tien, who was not pleased.
