..
hi guys welcome back to the channel welcome back to a very windy "Genoa Molo Veccio Marina" and
you might be wondering i've been back in Italy for a few weeks now i have yet to film in the marina
and there's one reason really is that there's not really that much going on down here
what you might remember is a couple of months ago there was an accident here a small yacht 32
meter yacht similar to this type that's here right now it reversed into the into the key side here
and then it shot forward and crashed right into the other side into the barge pier over there
oh
i went over there today and had a look there's still damage there from the incident hasn't been
fixed yet - i'll show you that footage you'll put it on screen right now - so that is a
pretty extensive damage there from from the yacht crashing into it i imagine if there was anybody
sat on that bench when that boat came careening towards them i bet they jumped out the way pretty
quickly but yeah anyway but that happened right here a few months ago there were
people standing up here on the on the side here watching i hope you can hear me too it's pretty
windy - i'm just gonna walk along the marina and show you what's in but i do monitor the
the come's and go's of yachts to the marinas and to be honest since i got here 3 weeks
ago there's been little or no movement in this park and the one of the vessels that left one
of the shipyards came up here for a day and then left and that's about it really the only sort of
regular sort of super yacht that's in is is a 68 meter down there which we'll go and have a look at
all right so this is sailing zafira so this is a 50 meter yacht it's a 49.7 meter and it's
described as a fast cruising sloop and it's the largest "sloop dubois" naval architect designed at
the time of its - of its delivery which is 2011 with without a fly bridge that was the largest
sloop that they designed without a flybridge and she's an aluminium construction with a bold keel
and a maximum beam of 9.95 meters now in 2011 she won at the world superyacht awards
a sailing yacht of the year and best sailing yacht of 45 meters plus also registered in Valletta
which is in obviously the Malta and interestingly this boat and this boat are very similar in colour
even though that one's a motion this one's a sailing yacht and they're both registered in
in valletta in Malta so i'm just curious as to whether they are owned by the same person
the beam on it i mean it looks so wide but i think that's because it's so you know low
it's not it doesn't have an awful lot of the superstructure because obviously it's a sailing
yacht but it looks so wide it probably doesn't come across on camera but it does really
look -i mean it's a 10 meter beam and then and then you've got the all the rigging that goes up
it just goes forever and ever it's fantastic and you can see up on the on the master you've got the
- the - 4 domes, 2 will be internet and 2 will most likely be for television
but one of the problems with putting them so high up is that when the boat rolls
as you can see it's doing right now and it's in and it's docked don't forget
when the boat's rolling it really causes an issue for the antennas if it's rolling quite a lot like
quite fast then the antennas struggle to keep up because they obviously have to point in the same
direction at the satellite in space regardless of the position of the boat so as the boat rolls like
this the antenna is constantly adjusting like this so it is a problem it's the same for the radar as
well the radars are just below the bottom masts often domes there should i say and they can it
can be a problem the higher up they go because of the same issue with the rolling of the boat
you can hear the boats straining on the lines and this is this p this pier that this pier
i'm standing on is a floating pier and obviously all of the boats are are more onto it and i can
really feel the the strain of those lines on this jetty that i'm standing on i can feel it moving
that that noise that you can hear that that strain noise
i can feel it in my feet through this through this uh jetty it's interesting how the colours
and are the same they were delivered in the same year they're registered in the
same place i'm sure it's i'm sure they're not related but it just seems a little bit unusual
i hope that there's not much to win too much wind on the mic but you can see the guys on the boat
here on Soaring this is sorry this is the ball i was talking about 68 meter from Abeking & Rasmussen
the guys up there they're showing up the lines because because the wind is is coming
across the boat and it's right on the beam and it's pushing the boat and they're just a little
bit they're probably a little bit worried and just making sure that the lines are good and tight so
they don't they just start to move this has been here pretty much since it was delivered sat here
it is a charter vessel you can charge it for 700 000 a week now if you remember
back to my video recently with the captain of the charter vessel saying what you get for 700,000 is
basically that you secure the boat for a week and that's it so everything else is on top now i have
seen this boat going down to Portofino so people are chartering it it's not happening very often
but i'm sure it's happening often enough to pay the bills um but it has been sat here pretty much
since delivery and it is for sale it was for sale for 105,000 euros it has since been dropped
to 90, 105 million euros even 105 000 euros i think i'd buy it myself 105 million euros um and it but
it has been dropped recently to 98 million euros so if you are if 105 is just a little bit too much
you can pick it up in 98 -now no i would say 95 if you just go in there and make a
hard offer bring a suitcase full of cash they might snap your hand off but i'm waiting for it
to come down a little bit further for me uh like i said 105,000 euros it's mine i'll buy it so if
you're watching and you own this vessel uh just bring the price down by you know 100 million or
you can see this boat behind me here is uh getting ready for the winter covering it up
obviously it's not going to be used the rest of the year i would say that majority of the boats
that are here now probably are going to be in the same state probably not going to get used
that much it's not exactly the right weather for yachting right now some people might use them i
would be using it certainly because the weather is still pretty decent generally here but anyway guys
i'm going to wrap up here because this is what i need to do right now because i'm not wearing
a jacket and the sun is just about to clear as you can see in the background there the sun is
just about to clear that building and when it does it's going to get pretty cold here so i need to
get back to the apartment before that happens i hope i brought i thought it would bring you down
to "Moloveccio" at least once like i said there's not an awful lot going on unless anything pops
in unless anything comes in here in the next week or so then i probably won't be coming back down
i will be actually shortly going back to the UK so this is a bit of a short trip for me this time
more about that in a future video i hope you enjoyed this video guys i put some
sailing yachts in because i do get quite a few requests from people asking me for sailing out so
i put a couple in i don't know an awful lot about them but i hope you enjoyed looking at them anyway
alright guys thanks very much for watching, do give this video a thumbs up! i'll see you next time!
