hi welcome back to the channel it is not a great day for yacht spotting here in Imperia
unfortunately it's the worst weather I've seen here for a while but it is that time of the year
now as you can see behind me here we've got Motor yacht Kalila 48 meter Palmer Johnson featured it
before on the channel because there was a story circulating a few years ago and you can look it
up on YouTube you'll still see the videos on there but the boat was actually plated in gold and as a
result it cost 4 billion dollars it was complete nonsense but it did the rounds a lot of videos out
there still talk about it today but it clearly if you plated a yacht in they actually gave the
figure of the weight of the of the goal that they put on it if you did that obviously it was
it was hundreds and hundreds of kilos so anyway it's not gold it's it's golden color but it's not
gold in in substance so it is a like I said it's a fully carbon yacht and yeah it's a 49 meter yacht
fully carbon which is the largest boat to be constructed in carbon at the time in 2014. this
boat was commissioned it took four years to build this boat and that that a super yacht normally
takes around three to four years to build but this is much smaller than the boats that normally take
so long you know what I'm trying to say is is that this boat took longer than its contemporaries for
the size because it was the first vessel at 49 meters or what's that 160 feet it was the first
vessel of that size to be built purely from carbon fiber reinforced plastic so they built it out of
that the hull that is and that's why it took a lot longer so it's four years in development
it was actually commissioned for Timo Muhammad who is the CEO and owner of Palmer Johnson it was
built in the in the U.S Palmer Johnson Shipyard and it was the third to last vessel to be built
there before they close that yard interestingly this vessel can do over 13 30 knots which is about
35 miles an hour or about 56 kilometers an hour so it is a fast trying to run and it is a trimer and
it has three holes now in the last video in the last video which was from a few years ago now you
might if you've seen that video or you can go and watch it I'll put a link but they had at the time
no casserole and they just had a piece of wood a plank going from the the key side onto the boat
which looked ridiculous for on a yacht that is made of well not made of gold but it is painted
in Gold but you can as you can see here the passerelle is is back on board now so it's fixed
I spoke to someone who was involved in the construction of the spouse and they said that
the passerelle has been a constant problem for the boat and it's probably got a lot to do with
the carbon fiber Construction but anyway as you can see the the passerella is back on now and
by the way this is the Pastoral if you don't know what I'm talking about the gangway and it's raised
and that basically is done so people can cannot just walk on on board they're all controls on the
vessel to lower it when they need to interestingly the boat is connected to Water and Power you can
see down here the blue one is water and the yellow one is power but I can hear a generator running
so that's I'm not quite sure it could be numerous reasons why they could just be doing a test of
the generator there could be a problem with the power supply they might be running something on
board which requires too much amperage from the show Power so the room and the generator
but yeah there's a general race of running which you might be able to hear in the background
this boat here is a 40 meter yacht called Genesee as you can see there it is not a converted tug
although it looks like one it was built in 2017 new by an Italian company called Ocean King one of
the things that stands out about this boat is the is the beam the width of the boat it is oh hello
I just fell in a hole it is huge in comparison to the length of 10 meters across and 40 meters long
so it looks huge but I like the spell I don't know what it is about it I think I I kind of like more
practical you know Explorer type vessels also just in case you're thinking that they're discharging
something over the side there it's probably water from the air conditioning system or
coolant from the engines clearly if the engines are or generators are water cooled and they
they take water in through the sea chests to put into the engines or the generators to cool them
and then they put it out over the side so it's not they're not discharging anything it's illegal to
discharge things it's certainly in the marina so don't worry about that but yeah very practical
huge crane on the stern there to lift that big boat into the water yeah I like it it's
about about 550 gross tons and it has a range of seven and a half thousand nautical miles which is
impressive for a boat of this size look at the bridge up there they can so the on the bridge
they can go and they can look right down this right down the stem of the boat which I like
yeah it's got that Vibe isn't it, the working vibe so we've got it's got to be some social
media person that owns that boat right maybe the person who invented the hashtag there's
the there's a one of its boats there in the water [Music] that's a Houston Yacht by the way [Music]
all right so on this boat here you can see that the name Plate's been removed from the stand
I don't know what this boat's called there's no AIS interestingly
there is a a sign up there on the window I've just noticed I'll try and see if I can zoom in
on that in a minute but what I wanted to show you here is that the nameplate's been removed
there's a Jersey flag by the way if you're wondering it says it actually says Jersey
on it as well so look at this boat here this is a wooden hulled and wooden superstructure wood
hole and wood superstructure one of the things that is noticeable about it is that the portholes
are tiny little portholes this is from 1934 it was built in 1934. so this is pre-World War II
and it looks like it looks like it's just being found in a barn like they always say about cars
a barn finds they pull some car out of the garage from you know 50 years ago and it's all covered
in rat droppings and stuff this kind of has that Vibe about it it has a top speed of 11 knots it
has two engines that put out 94 horsepower each so yeah it's quite interesting but it looks like
it's a project whoever owns that that's a project never seen it before it wasn't here I was here
three months ago in the period and that this boat wasn't here so this is a new arrival I love stuff
like this this is a lot of history in this boat it looks like it's you know it's just it looks like
a ghost ship that's just turned up you know with nobody on board after 100 years or something but
this was built by Camper Nicholson it's called bystander of man and it's a wooden hole wooden
superstructure now what's interesting about it is that it was it was actually used by the Royal
Navy during World War II in 1939 it was inducted into the Royal Navy and it was used during the war
it's been owned by a lot of people who were like rare Admirals and stuff from the Navy and it's
had a really interesting life spent time in Paris and the vessel was not that long ago for sale for
1.8 million euros on the Camper Nicholson website and it had some beautiful pictures of the boat but
obviously since then it's gonna it's it's fallen into a state of disrepair and now it looks like it
does and we were able to find it for sale I don't know if it's currently for sale because it's new
here so it's quite possible that someone's bought it with the with the idea of fixing the boat up
so it's quite possible that it has just been sold but it was for sale on a website but we
didn't have a date on it for 700 000 Euros so come from 1.8 million to 700 000. if the
if you own this boat or if you know someone who owns this boat or someone who works on the boat
please get in touch I would love to go on board just because of the historical aspects of the
spout and there's some amazing stuff on the deck there some of the brass searchlights and there's
a you can see that up on the bow there you can see the on the fly bridge there there's a wheel
a bra looks like it's made of brass and there's a magnetic compass housing which is also brass
so I love anything like this so if yeah if you know who owns this please get in touch so like
I said built by Camper Nicholson in 1934 it's a 24 meter boat as a beam of just under five meters
and a draft of 1.8 meters it's a gross tonnage of 85 gross tons
I just noticed the re even the rib which is a modern rib obviously even that is a mess
the front part of the rib is punctured and then the boat's full of water so in keeping
with the state of the boat the actual yacht the rib is is in keeping with that isn't it
all right so what is quite interesting here so you remember my video about Lady M this
is a Alexi Mortershop's boat the guy who owns Nord he's a very interesting 10 in vents with this boat
obviously couldn't come to Imperial without coming checking on The Boat Boat looks the
same unchanged the changes the security is gone so I don't know what that means but the security
is no longer here they were here then last time I was here I was there for a few days
and that they were here the whole time so and they were doing shifts you know there was a car
here and there was they were I was watching them changing shifts and now they've gone
I don't know what that means there's still no Henson flying as you can see on this boat here
there's an engine but on this boat no engine so it doesn't look like it's fully crude last time I
was here there was two crew that I spotted that are living locally and they're just coming in
daily to work and stuff like that so yeah I don't know what it means that the security is
no longer here but because they were here for months ever since the boat was arrested those
security people were here and now they're not here so yeah interesting times the life wraps
have been removed that's probably they've probably been stowed inside it could be that they were in a
you know they were sent off because every every so often they have to be sent off to have them
have the gas canisters replace the stuff so it could have been going through that process
when the boat was arrested I don't know or they could have just removed them and
stowed them inside just for safe keeping because they knew there was going to be no crew on board
all right I'm going to wrap it up here I hope you've enjoyed this very wet limperia
it has not been ideal weather for yachting but you know this is this is the side of it
that you don't see normally because normally I film on the nice weather in the nice weather
so anyway hope you enjoyed it I hope you learned a little bit I learned something
