Mystery owner's 281-foot floating mansion will cost more than $82m

With each opening and closing , like a slowly blinking eye, the giant door at Derecktor Shipyards' harbor side boatworks has provided glimpses of the progress the workers have been making the 281-foot Cakewalk V.

The name itself could be ironic or predictive for the future of the Bridgeport boatyard. If it gets good marks, it could lead to more jobs. If it's a dud, well, Derecktor might find it anything but a cakewalk when it comes to the mega yacht market.
