hi guys welcome back to the channel okay so like the title of this video suggests
uh why did a businessman superior owner build three identical super yachts okay so
i'll just do a little bit of history here about um about two years ago i made a video called
why did the super owner make two identical super yachts and back then that was an accurate title
but but since then i've learned that he's actually building a third vessel and it's been a little bit
delayed apparently something happened in 2020 that actually delayed shift building i don't
remember what it was anyway um so let's go back so first i'm gonna talk about his name is grain heart
and he's a businessman from new zealand he's the richest man in new zealand valued at about uh nine
billion i don't know whether that's new zealand or if that's uh us dollars but anyway nine billions
a lot in any currency isn't it in 2016 he took delivery of his first job and he called it ulysses
107 meters uh gray hull the 6 000 gross tons huge thing really impressive one of the big things
about it uh that stands out is it has a 21 meter two deck uh catamaran that is a tender so it's
a 21 meters almost it could almost be classed as a superior itself and that sits in the bow
section uses two massive dabbits to uh to bring it up onto the onto the forward section there
what happened is initially the the company that built the vessel clever marine in norway when he
went to them he said look i want you to build a clever marine don't build superheroes they build
like uh deep sea vessels deep sea platform vessels workhorses and he went to them and said i want you
to build me this superior and then what i'm going to do is you build it but the engines in it put
all the super structure in place and all that stuff and then we're going to take it down to
germany and we're going to have it fitted out like a super yacht in germany so they did that but they
said to him look if you we can't just build one vessel it's not in our interest to just build one
up one off vessel so you need to order at least two so we said okay that's fine i'll
i'll order two then so as you do so why why buy one when you can buy two or twice the price right
so he uh he puts in the order the first boat is delivered in 2016 i believe and he uses that
for a couple of years then the second boat becomes ready and 2018 i believe that was
and uh so he sells the first one ulysses is his name named ulysses and he calls the new
boat ulysses the old boat is sold to a russian chap called yuri milner now there's some there's
his people always deny it but most superior owners deny that they own a super yacht for various
reasons uh yuri yuri milner owns uh andromeda so the new boat graham hart took a delivery of is
a few meters longer than the original it's got a couple of differences um but only minor you know
effectively if you saw one or the other you unless you knew them you wouldn't know it was a different
vessel main difference being the new boat has got a blue hole and the original one has a gray hole
that's the if you if they were next to each other you probably wouldn't notice any difference so
anyway that was i thought the end of the story but it turns out uh graham hart bought a third
hull and it's in clever marine now being built because of covert they had some issues
and also the actual shipyard where it was being built actually went out of business at one point
and um and it was uh some people came in to take over and stuff like that so it has been rescued
and i believe that the work is is back on track uh so but there has been a delay but yeah so at
some point i'm not sure when it will be ready whether it'll be this year or next year but
he's gonna take delivery of a third vessel which is not which is gonna look not unlike the other
two because it's effectively the same hole so quite incredible that he's bought a third one
now when he sold the second one oh sorry when he saw the first one
most likely he either broke even or made a profit right because a vessel of this size
and complexity would take at least three years to build so um the first one that is now the second
one they probably started the second one while the first one was still in construction so because he
it was approximately two years uh after the first one being delivered and he got the second one
so when he sold the first vessel uh the person who bought it most likely paid at the very least the
same what the original owner paid to have it built and that's because it takes so long to build let's
say three years possibly longer let's say three let's say three years for the sake of argument
uh this guy comes in he can give him the money and he can buy it right there and then he doesn't
have to wait he just has to transfer the money and the boat is his so he might have even made
a profit graham heart and being a billionaire i'm sure he did so when he sells the second boat
same thing if somebody buys it at the asking price then he'll make a profit
and then he he makes the third boat and he's using the money from the first two to put into this
third one right so it sounds crazy but when you think about it actually it's probably quite smart
what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna delve deeper into this subject because it's i think it's fascinating
um the um these these two vessels that are currently in existence and the third one that
we don't know anything about yet um i think it's fascinating and i think they're they're
quite stunning vessels as well quite striking if you like because they're not i think there's a
disagreement on whether it's a good-looking boat or whether it even looks like a superior
a lot of people say it looks quite industrial i tend to agree but what i'm going to do is i'm
going to make another video coming quite soon and what we're going to do is we're going to
take a look at the boat i'm going to show you some video footage some more video footage that i shot
of the boat fairly recently and we're going to take a look at some other information which i
which came to me uh from a viewer actually and we're going to have actually have a look at some
of the interior of the vessel through a what's known as a ga or general arrangement uh i did a
video a few years ago about planet nine and i did a i did we looked at the um what it what it looked
like from the plans and i'm gonna do something similar and uh i'll show you where they keep the
helicopter all right guys so i hope you enjoyed this if you've got any questions put them below
remember to like and subscribe and i'll catch you guys soon alright guys bye
