oh
all right guys welcome back to the channel as you saw from the intro i got my YOUTUBE AWARD very
excited to open it and yeah i'm very pleased to have that it's something i've thought about
it sounds funny but i've seen other people doing these unboxing videos
and i always thought that if i got one that i wouldn't bother with doing something like
that but here you go so it was quite exciting i actually wanted to just share it with everybody
so they could see me doing it because i'm here at home
in an completely voluntary lockdown right now it's not a lockdown it just feels like one
anyway guys it's a five minute friday so let's put five minutes on the clock i get a lot of comments
through the various different mediums you know i obviously get tons of comments on youtube i get
people emailing me i get comments through Instagram - i read everything that i get i don't
reply to everything i get because if i did i wouldn't have any time to do anything else but
i do read everything one of the things that i had a lot of people contacting me about was asking me
what my opinion was of the UK government has decided to go ahead building a new Royal Yacht
so if you don't know the history then we had a Royal Yacht that was built back in the 1930's built
in the UK and it was used by the Royal family for of various different things obviously sometimes
it was just used to go and relax on but also it was used to go out to the Commonwealth or the
the empire as it was known back then and go out to different places of the Commonwealth
and to for them to visit using that ship right because back in the day remember
commercial airlines and flights and stuff weren't available so you travel by sea
now the vessel was retired quite a long time ago about 20 years ago and it's now a permanent
museum up in Scotland but it's called the Royal Britannia by the way ever since it was retired
prince Philip the late prince Phillip was always going on about the fact that they should have a
new royal yacht remember prince Philip was in the royal navy i was in royal navy in world war II
decorated veteran of of world war II he obviously loved being at sea and i'm
actually watching the crown right now and i'm on season 1 because i'm behind
and there's a lot of stuff in there about about the vessel so it was really interesting
anyway the the new royal yacht i don't know an awful lot of detail right now but i just
wanted to talk about the idea of a new royal yacht now it's probably not going to surprise anybody
to think to hear me say that i think it's a great idea - why do i think it's a great idea
because i think it's a great advertisement for britain so i got i get a lot of criticisms
on youtube, on my videos especially the gun videos from people who live in the U.S.A.
who don't like the videos that i made about guns at sea and stuff like that i get a lot
of criticism personally and then they go on about freedoms that they have that i don't
have because i'm a subject and all this stuff criticizing the fact that we have a royal family
however if you go to the Buckingham palace and talk to anyone outside Buckingham Palace
they're american so there's kind of like a double thing going on there but anyway - a very for
the royal family have in this vessel i think it's a great thing for britain a great advertisement
for Britain i also think it's it's a good training vessel there's a lot of good reasons for it that
there'll be people putting comments that saying that oh they should spend that money on the nhs
or spend it on this or that but the amount of money that they're going to spend on the ship
in relation to all of those other things is a very small amount and i think it will it will bring
into the country more revenue than the cost of it going out like buckingham palace like go back to
my example of Buckingham Palace it's always got tourists there right yeah so yeah i think it's
a great thing i have no idea when it's going to be built i i know that there are a lot of
yacht companies trying to get the business for that but i guarantee 100 % will be built
built in Britain there's no way that Royal Family is going to travel around on a on a yacht that
was built in France or Italy or whatever -okay next story this is another story that people have been
contacting me about asking me about what i think of it and it's about a 220 meter super yacht
that is being built and it's going to be you can buy an apartment on - it does
from the renditions that they've put out it does look like a super yacht but
it's not a SUPERYACHT i mean it kind of like a super yacht and i can see the appeal to it and
and the apartments that you can buy are they start at 10 million so yeah so i'm not going
to be buying one anytime soon maybe in a couple of years when my youtube channel really takes off
but umso it's going to be 220 meters long it's going to have 39 apartments on it so
let's assume that each apartment has 2 people and the apartments will probably have
they'll vary from studio apartments if it's anything like the world which is currently
it's been at sea for a decade they'll have studio apartments then they'll have like one bedroom,
2 bedroom, 3 bedroom apartments right so a 3 bedroom apartment is technically
a 6 bedroom -a 6 person apartment right so the amount of people that can stay on it means that
it will be registered as a passenger vessel not as a SUPERYACHT that's the technicality i suppose
what would i buy an apartment on a super yacht 220 meter super yacht rather than spending 10 million
on my own smaller say 30 meter superior that's a good question the the benefits of buying the
apartment is the running costs will be much lower you'll still have to pay a certain
amount every year towards the upkeep of the vessel of course but it will be certainly a lot less than
having your own superyacht but if i had 10 million to buy an apartment on this would i buy that or would i
spend the money on a super yacht so in a previous video i said that if i had the
money if i had 40 million i'd buy an apartment on the world but they start at 1 million so
there's a massive difference between the prices so yeah so yeah i think it's good thing - i think
it's interesting i think the price of the apartments will there will most likely be
investors who buy some of these things and then they'll allow other people to stay in them perhaps
i don't know if it will be viable but i think it's a good idea yeah i think it's a good idea i i'll
need to see more details before i can really make an opinion and the last story uh it's a bit of a
down i shouldn't really have done it this one last actually uh it's about a chap called Oleg Berlikov
and he was the owner of sailing yacht Pearl -if you've not seen it
massive sailing yacht with a master three mask sailing yacht and he recently died
from covid - it was actually put out as a press release by the company that runs the super
yacht called the sailing yacht and so he died of of covert and they put out a press release and
they said it it's with great sadness we announced the death of Oleg Berlikov the visionary behind
the building of Sailing Yacht Pearl sadly Oleg passed away after a brief battle with covid19
it was his vision and desire to cease yachts built in the future that had a far less damaging effect
on the planet -Sailing Yacht Pearl has led the way for so many as such we believe Mr. Berlikov has
been the inspiration for and has left a positive legacy for the world yachting community to follow
rest in peace -so okay guys i'm gonna wrap it up here i've got one more thing to say i've got
a video that's going to be coming out very soon i'm going to be talking about a celebrity
who has ordered a super it's not it's the last person i would have thought but i've
i just want to confirm a couple of things first but look out for that video anyway
will be quite interesting and i think that providing a get it out quite soon that i will
actually be breaking this story so stay tuned guys have a great weekend !and i'll see you soon
