All right check it out so this is a M/Y flying fox, huge thing
136 meters this is a Galaxy of Happiness right here in the way it dwarfs that
yacht Lisbon 136 meters as I said, 9100 gross tons
so as you can see it's it's docked in in La Ciotat and it's docked
next to the drydock here the dry dock's directly behind it and if you've seen my
other video this with this vessel is docked right now is where the original
drydock used to be and they reduced the drydock down to 200 meters and it barely
fits into that port so that there was a hundred and thirty-five
meters to play with that so that's how much they reduce that dry dock by and
it's and it's docked right there now so that's the benefit of reducing the
drydock as they've got some berth space for big yachts.
I mean they can all also fit around the other side if it's available but currently it's not so
that's why this is docked here. So let's take a look at some of the features of
this yacht. As you'll see in the aerial footage from the rear of the
vessel from the stern you should see a huge swim platform and basically it's
where the owners will dive into the water from there occasionally it's more
often used as a place to launch the tenders from
just forward of that you'll see a huge pool
it's more like a pool that you sit in and hang out and rather than one that
you swim laps in but it's quite deep quite quite wide pool
If we go up we'll see a massive helicopter landing pad on the sundeck or on the top
deck they're huge helicopter landing pad on the heli deck there to see the number
18 that's the D value the D value is the diameter the largest diameter of the
helicopter with the rotors turning it's gonna become a very popular now to have
a helicopter landing pad but this has got to this vessel it's got one on
the bow which is a bit smaller a bit more regular but the one on the
sundeck it's massive if we go to the mass to look at some of the technical
stuff on the mast the center mast you've got your radars and then you've got the
communications right at the very top of the mast you've got an antenna there I'm
gonna guess based on my experience is it is for internet. The reason why I think
it's a VSat is because like I said there's no blockage it's got one
singular unit at the top. Now on either side of the mast you'll see two giant
3.4 meter antennas they are most likely television antennas don't
look at it as four separate antennas look at it as two sets of antennas so
the forward on the port side and the starboard side they are a couple and
the ones behind there a couple and the reason why that is because the mass sits
right in the middle by the VSat we'll see a round unit there that is a what
looks like a Flir MU 600 series thermal-imaging camera and they are
there's two I can see one four on one aft they retail at 220 thousand dollars
each and they've got two so then we go forward of that and then
like I said we go to the bow and we've got this we've got the second helipad
you can see on that on the bow here as well right here is a they've got a mast
their requirement to have a mast which is which goes up at night and as a light
on it navigational light so it can be seen by on coming vessels I don't know
why it's up right now because they're in port
it could be that there are some maintenance is getting done on it
one thing I have noticed about this yacht is is the location of the bridge you can
see that the bridge is actually on the lowest deck which is actually the
windows are actually in line with with the bow helipad that is very unusual
that the bridge should be on the deck above to give it maximum visibility when
you are in that when you were on that bridge and you look out there all you
can see is a helipad you've really limited on your view out
of those windows this is obviously a something that's happened to maximize
the space for the owners the person behind the wheel will have especially
going into a port or leaving a port it's gonna really give them a limited
visibility there so that's pretty much it from what I can see and I'm gonna
leave it there I hope you enjoyed this video if he did so they make sure I give
it a thumbs up don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already and watch out for
more videos to come
