my name is eSysman and it's been 214 days since i had a haircut so the mullet is coming
and the good news is -that's by the way that's 7 months if you're counting - the good
news is the the barbers are have reopened now in the UK since Monday - it's Friday now
obviously 5- minute-Friday - i did try and go a couple of times to get my hair cut
and it looked like a refugee camp outside the barbers there was a line going right up the street
with a lot of dodgy looking haircuts waiting to be to be seen too so i'm gonna i'm gonna wait until
next week - i'm also gonna tie it in with the fact that i'm going back to work soon but before
we go any further i just wanted to say that i've been getting a lot of comments about the fact that
i've got no photographs in these frames so what i'm going to do is i'm going to move the camera
and we'll get so you don't have to look at it anymore -all right guys welcome back to the channel
thanks for joining me i'm sorry i've been a bit quiet in the last week or so i've been a bit under
the weather starting to feel better now um so i just wanted to make a quick video it's 5- Minute-Friday
after all and talk about about a little bit of news that's happened so it's kind of a
5- Minute-Friday / Superyacht News video all right so let's get on with it so
let's put 5 minutes on the clock and i'm gonna blow through it today for sure so the first thing
and the thing that you probably clicked on it for was to see the story about sailing yacht a
so the news is uh not good for the industry the owner is not bankrupt by the way of the yacht
the company that actually built sailing yate has just filed for insolvency "Nobuskrug" a
very famous super yacht builder and the shipping builder since 1905 in Germany they've
been in existence and they've built some uh some notable super yachts but before super yachts were
a thing they did some stuff went through two world wars they built stuff for the german navy
they also quite notably they built a or they extended a ship called berlin which was
used in the German version of the love boat that's one of the triumphs and then more recently
they've built some notable super yachts such as Triple Seven, Tattoos owned by
the late Paul Allen - Superyacht Magambo and obviously Sailing Yacht A is the most high profile
yacht they've ever built when i see a company that can build a yacht like sailing you'll say
you would think that there would be massive profits to be made in building a vessel like that
but apparently not the problem with this shipyard as far as i can tell is that they haven't really
produced that many superyachts since 2010 they've only produced less than one a year when they
say produced i mean delivered less than one a year and uh between 2040 and 2016 and 2018 2019
they didn't deliver any super yachts and in the middle of that 2017 they delivered sailing at a
and i understand that there were some problems uh difficulties for the shipyard in in getting that
vessel delivered i don't know what those difficulties were obviously this kind of
stuff was kept quiet the last yard to be delivered is to is the artifact which was delivered in 2020
and that could be i mean theoretically that could be the last yacht they ever deliver i i understand
they do have some vessels still in the build phase and so i don't know whether the insolvency
people will be able to find the backer to keep to keep the company afloat i don't know what's
going to happen they also have their assets as in yards and stuff like that i'm i'm kind of hoping
that one of the other german companies might buy them out lesson for instance brings to
they bought out Blohm + Voss a few years ago and basically- they basically dismantled
that company and just integrated it into Lurssen and Blohm +Voss, very famous and interestingly
motor yacht A owned by the same person who owned sailing yacht A, was built by Blohm + Voss -they
went out of business or they were they were merged or they were bought out by Lurssen and disappeared
and now novice crew are going out of business and they built sailing they'll say i'm sure
there's a conspiracy theory in there somewhere but i'm just pointing out the coincidence
and the fact that that's happened -so that's yeah that's very sad hopefully it's not the end
of the road for them hopefully they'll find a backer and they'll continue to build
superyachts like sailing yacht A - All right so one other thing i wanted to talk about is -as i saw
some great photographs from Thomas Van Gossen i'm sorry if i've mispronounced your name Thomas
he put some photographs up recently on instagram of the yacht project 817
Fedship from the car facility in the Netherlands and the car facility is located in a place
inland and when the vessels are ready they have to take them down these rivers to get them out
into the open sea and probably when they started in that location the yachts they were building
were not that big it wasn't a concern but now the odds are getting this is a 94 meter
yacht and now they're getting really close to the edge - they've got all
these bridges that they move out the way and some of the places they go through it's amazing and
some of these are some of the photographs you're seeing now on screen or all of the photographs
you've seen on screen are from Thomas Van Gossen and he followed the vessel out of the open sea and
it's outside sea trials now but it's quite incredible that they go through these little towns
i'd love to see this myself and i just wanted to show that because the pictures
what they actually have to do once they leave that facility inland and take them down
these different rivers it's quite incredible all right guys so that i'm going to end it here
uh let me know what you think of uh if you worked at nobuskrug or if you
work there let me know what you think about this if you've got any updates because i i wasn't
able to find any updates it's only just happened but if you know what's happening get in touch
let me know and what do you think about this - the super yacht going through these
little these little towns and villages it's quite incredible alright guys thanks
very much for watching and i'll see you next week - so have a great weekend all right bye-bye
