This is what i love about this channel. Learning many things about yachts and yacht builders you would never know about and all of this from the comfort of your home while drinking, in my case, a cappuccino. Great one David, looking forward to seeing more about ARES and the motor sailing beauty that you showed.
Absolutely stunning! This video perfectly captures the essence of the yacht industry and highlights the craftsmanship of the company's production. The visuals are breathtaking, and the narration adds a layer of sophistication. Well done!
He's back. I just wrote you wondering where you were, you never responded. I heard that you are doimg a 'soft-retire'. I don't know what that means and I doubt it's true, but then figured that maybe it is. You're the OG of yachtube. The man, the myth, the legend. You can't retire yet, another 20 years at least
Hi Cliff, I didn't see your message. Where did you send it? Anyway...I'm certainly not ready to retire yet. I'm about to sign another 5 year contract with N&J, and we are gearing up to increase output of videos.
Interesting company. To make the switch from military vessels to yachts, I am sure there are skeptics. For me, I’ll wait til the end of the build. Strange how the master is near the bow and not amidship. I guess the two most recent crew hires will be in the cabins on the bow. Great video once again. Loving the fact that they actually built accommodations for crew to stay near the factory. This is becoming a major plus in yards doing refits, but first one I have heard of doing it for new builds.
I think that such an advanced company in the military field will demonstrate its quality on the superyacht sector as well. This must be like buying a road car of a team competing in Formula 1.
I'd be most curious to know what 'standards' are applied to military vessels that are not applied to yachts, but 'could' be. Do they use a different quality of steel? Is the hull thicker? Is the keel stronger? Is there more ribbing? Are there different quality standards for welds?
good lord, why put the owners cabin in the bow? Why do yacht builders continue to commit this absurd mistake? Great way to make sure the owner hates their experience under sail and only want to show up when the yacht is in port.
So “all in” they’re still playing the 499GT game, and calling a sail assisted diesel electric “hybrid”. It’s kinda weird that they’re bothering to put hydroregeneration on a sail assisted motor yacht. But the industry really is grasping at “green”; don’t get me wrong, I’m all for it, I just can’t see this making more than 1% difference over the life of that particular yacht. Also, I’m not knocking the company. And definitely not knocking Turkish industry. I’m just a bit sad with myself that I expect something a bit more than pure marketing fluff.
You do realize the 499 GT has to do with regulations, don't you? If it's over 500GT, there are additional regulations to follow. In addition, the GT limit is more often a _customer_ decision rather than the builder's decision. The _customer_ decides what they want to purchase and if they want the additional measures put into place or not. And I think your "understanding" of the industry "grasping at green" is flawed. They aren't doing it to impress low-skilled, unemployed protestors, or college students crying that they have to pay back money they borrowed; they're improving their methods because _they_ are the ones seeing the effects and _they_ are the ones visiting the clear waters. Despite the movies, technology doesn't improve by leaps and bounds, it's done in incremental steps. About 100 years ago luxury yachts were spewing black clouds of smoke as they traveled to and fro. Of course, if they didn't improve by "making more than 1% difference," people would be whining that they aren't trying to go green. Pay attention long enough and you'll notice that there are improvements done every single year, sometimes every single new yacht build.
@@bernardkealey6449 Out of necessity. You wouldn't have a cruise ship and a kayak require the same safety standards. There's a bit of common sense involved. In addition, your first sentence you're implying the builder is to blame when it's the customer's choice. But please, if you're doing more than virtue signalling, show us a video of your lake boat having been certified with Lloyd’s Register of Shipping for Class A yachts.
Adding Hydrogeneration costs them almost nothing. The motor is already there, most of the electronics are already there. Usually, a boat's speed is limited by the hull speed. So, if you're sailing you can just as well collect some energy from the water.

Thanks so much - very much appreciated.

in addition to the great quality of your content, it is great that you include the leading companies in this sector of our country in your videos 🇹🇷👏🏼
Thanks so much!
🥳Yay a new video on my favorite channel!
Well I saw xtenders doing the very same tests but admittedly they build tenders not yachts.
Fascinating stuff, David. Thanks for that
Thanks for the video! I'm happy to see another Yacht Builders upload. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it - we're hoping to return to SIMENA in the future too.
SUPERB video! Many thanks!

Always cool videos !! 👍

Good luck and success !
Amazing shipyard. The exterior of sailing yacht looks like yacht Koru from Oceanco, doesn't it?))
It reminded me of KORU too. Different designer, but similar "feel".
Fantastic !! She'll need a Captain !!!!!

Can you go to Safehaven Marine to feature their new 50 Knot power cat. It looks amazing.
Great boatbuilding experience in Turkiye and Tanju Kalaycıoglu is a master in design.
Impressive
Having been in the military, my first thought to the title of your video...They sink.
Fantastic and amazing.😇
Thank you so much 😀
WOW!
Nice shoes bud!
It was a lot of "fine talk". Let's see what the future brings.

Flashing images should be at least announced or better yet avoided altogether !

Foul, that was a push shot.🎱

@@grondhero that’s my point.
The regulations get tougher. And safer and higher performance.
