Really enjoyed this review, especially the background info. First boat I crewed on we shared 4 in one cabin. Actually when I arrived the yacht was still in the middle of a refit. Being the first crew to join after the Skipper, the cabin was full of tins of paint, varnish and other gear. I made space on one of the top bunks and put the mattress in the bunk, but slept with the gear in the cabin for a number of weeks. Nice to see how things have moved on since then.
Hiya, thank you for one of the most informative videos on how this yacht is set up and how the crew work. I'd never thought about sitting around doing a 'Hurry up and wait'. Stay safe, Steve...
Given the level of finish, my assumption is that those "Crew" berths on the lower deck with Guest-level couches and the larger sinks are actually *Staff* cabins. (The vessel has a dedicated masseuse and stylist, after all -- at a minimum.) I also suspect that at least some of those other Crew cabins will eventually have bunks.
Wow , this was a great video , I hope you are planning on doing some more on these , I have a few suggestions . Much more informative than a rushed 15 min walkthrough . Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you
Excellent, I loved it. Looks like a great vessel to me. Did you notice 2 of the double crew cabins where interjoined (214 & 216) so actually a big 4 person cabin. Is that something normal? Anyway thanks a lot mate👍 I really get a kick out of these.
I like that you share so much of your own experience, that’s knowledge you don’t get from other videos. Like when it comes to the importance of the crew mess: “there’s a lot of sitting around while the guests are on board” 😅 never realized that.
... thanks a mil' for the heads up on VPN ... yes, invaluable I say ... & the deck plans are wonderful ... the visual top-down view gives you a bird's eye layout of 'what's inside' ... also, am delighted to have signed on with Vessel Finder & Marine Traffic ... jolly good ..bye' for now ...
Hi, German subscriber here (topical ;o) ) I am actually from the UK but live in DE. very much enjoy all the videos and am learning a lot, thank you for them. I’ll pop over the tech channel as well as I am also into cars. And I drive across Europe a lot for work, not quite Italy to the uk, but 700+ km each way at least once a month, even during the pandemic. I’m interested to find out how you manage the journey as I am looking for a new car and this sort of mileage makes it a tough choice. Keep up the good work, looking forward to more in the coming weeks
hi E man i just got to let you know most of that was not fully in screen bro but i realy love how you took us threw a floor plan, and some abreviations i didnt know but , hey its me , keep up the good work mate cheers
You note that there are double beds in the captain's and chief engineer's cabins. Are the senior crew members allowed to have a spouse live on the yacht with them if the spouse is not a crew member?.
I enjoyed your tour. I noticed there was no gym for the crew. How does the number of crew for a yacht get determined? Is there a set number or minimum needed to crew a yacht? Is it the captain’s call or the management company’s? There seems to be a great variation between yachts, even of the same size.
I vaguely know this! I might be wrong about the specifics, but it basically comes down to 2 things - there's a general requirement that the captain must ensure the boat's safely crewed, but that could be a little vague, so there's also the Passenger Yacht Code which applies to any yacht carrying more than 12 guests, and this says (among other things) that there have to be at least 14 required crew - the captain, 3 deck watch officers, 3 deck hands, 3 engineering watch officers, 3 other engineers (not sure if they're also "hands") and a chef - I'm pretty sure that's basically right but some of the specifics might be off. Not sure whether the ETO counts as an engineer or not. So, two things from that... the captains obligation to ensure safe crewing means there could be more than that minimum - for example on a larger yacht, or if they're (say) crossing the Atlantic rather than sitting at anchor off Nice; also (and most importantly from my perspective!) it says nothing about the stews/interior, so you've only got a limited amount of cabins for crew but you've got strict requirements on the numbers of deck/engineers so if a department's getting squeezed it's going to be the interior. So this seems to have 19 crew berths (assuming the captain & engineer's doubles are single occupancy - tho he said 20/21 total crew), and if there's a PYC minimum of 14 that means there's only 5 left for stews or specialists or any flexibility in deck/engineer numbers. But like I said - I might be wrong on the specific numbers!
Just been over tower bridge London. There is a super yacht been moored there for a couple of days. I cannot work out the name on it . But looks good. Keep safe
That's one interesting vessel. Actually, and I know this may cause comment, even compared to other more ostentatious vessels, if I had the sort of money required to own one of these, this is something I'd go for. You mentioned the owner was a family person and I believe that comes through. Its back story is interesting and thank you for sharing that. As something for my family, this makes sense (to me) and I could see living on this for an extended period of time - travelling to the higher latitudes and temperate/tropical as well, and have friends and extended family join with us. It really is a great design. I know its made for charter but nonetheless .....Wow! Thank you for these videos.
It think it would be very interesting if you could come up with your own design. I would love to see the ideas an experienced crew member (such as yourself) would have in designing a super yacht.
I have to disagree with you with regards to the lower deck, the double (with sofa) and three twin cabins in the midships area, these cabins are in a passenger area, as it has access to the main staircase and the floor covering matches the other passenger areas. The single crew cabins, I would bet that they are actually bunks for two crew, admittedly they usually show the edge of the lower cabin so that it is obviously a bunk. Why they have shown it this way I have no idea. In my experience most yachts except for the very big ones do have on average four passengers on the lower deck with the crew cabins set forwards. One other thing I disagree with (sorry) the gally is more often than not on the main deck , port side forward of the formal dining room, at least on yachts of up to 60 or 70 meters. I subscribe to Boat International and have done so for about ten years and have seen hundreds of deck plans. Still a great video as always, thank you for sharing
I agree with the first bit, but on a ship this size I've never rarely seen a galley on the main deck, on smaller boats they are as they don't have the space, to put the galley Lower down.
... the wheel house is a wonderful size ... not cramped but just cozy for friendly observation~conservation of 'how it all operates' ... Captain's Office seems a bit small, but efficient ... get a load of the size of the Dressing Room; must be a 'clothes-horse' owner; mind you depending on itinerary, a variety of duds would probably be needed ... I love to launder, iron & press clothing, so this would 'suit' me fine ...I do quite like the owner's cabin ... nice placement for sure ... absolutely gorgeous colourway in the Master Bedroom ... 🤩... a nice plushy bear's den LOL, I could easily hibernate there ... & with those luscious glacial blue accents ... wow, Love it ... 💛well sized, & beautiful views I'm sure ... ... maybe not necessary, but, I would love to see an onboard office/den/studio for the writer/artist/designer ... with an accompanying wall-library for easy access to tactile books, publications, research etc. ... all in one spacious open plan ... ... lovely to see the children's play room, but I think it's in a dangerous location ... ... the Beach Club is just wonderful ... resplendent in such muted turquoise jade & the cinnamon woods ... marvelous ... ... I agree ... the Crew Mess should be quite vastly expanded & include such as library, coffee corners for small group conversation; book club conversation?, plus space for hobbies, crafts storage ( you might be fond of scrabble, or working on a designer knitted sweater) ... the Pantry doesn't seem near large enough either ... yes, but I do love the single cabin's too ...
Why do most boats/ships have angled propeller shafts? Basic physics tells us that a significant portion of the thrust vector will go waste. Why not engineer it so that the propeller shafts are parallel to the direction of motion or at least put a U-joint (handling that amount of power may be the limiting factor) to angle the shaft to make it parallel to the direction of motion...
Nice video. The only thing that could be an upgrade for the video, though a difficult one, would be some actual footage of the interior of the yacht. Have you ever considered a potential cooperation with the "yachtsfosale" channel? They have some great walkthrough videos. However, the point of view from the crew and the technical aspects are often a side aspect. Maybe there is a chance for a crossoverepisode where you add your expertise from a crew perspective. :-)
"gentleman's club"... uh-huh, yeh... lol. But thinking about the crew cabins... the captain's & engineer's doubles are straightforward, and the standard twin (205) probably either goes to the two most junior stews or is possibly single occupancy most of the time with a spare bed for flexibility; but I'm wondering about the 3 nicer twins (214, 216, 217) and who would get those rather than a single cabin to themselves. 217 in particular looks a nicer, with 214/216 looking like they're adjoining and sort of quadruple occupancy - can we assume it's stereotypically sexist (just in our favour for once!) and 214/216 goes to 4 junior deck/engineering guys and 217 goes to 2 stews? Then I guess the single occupancy rooms start with the chief officer, 2nd engineer, ETO, chef, and get more junior as they go forward
I love when you're able to find deck plans and go through them for us. Now we need to find someone to do a proper walk-through. :) I've noticed in a lot of recent yacht videos, that the owner's cabins are now top deck and aft facing. Maybe it's a trend or maybe they're realizing the practicality of it over putting the bridge in a bad location. As for the full beam VIP room up front, off-hand I don't think it would be a big problem, as charter guests pay for the beautiful weather locations. ;)
also aft means you can enjoy the deck from the owners cabin without the wind from the bow bothering you. Much calmer and more relaxing. And you still have a great view of the sea and the islands you are near. Also aft is less rocky in swells
So I have a serious question. I watched hundreds of yacht walk through videos. I noticed that a lot of appliances are huge, such as refrigerators, freezers, washer and dryers...how do they remove them from the ship if one breaks down and has to be replaced or if the owner wants to upgrade appliances? The door ways, entry ways are so small....HOW DID THEY EVEN GET THEM IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE? Do they install them at the shipyard before they finish the construction before it gets to tight? How do they get a full size sub zero fridge/freezer 3 floors down in the boat with entry ways that barely fit a human??
For the items such as walk in fridge/freezers, those are installed before the ship is finished. If the owner wants to upgrade, that's done in the off-season/downtime, when the yacht goes through its yearly cleaning, along with taking care of scratches and possible repainting. Washer/dryers probably could be done normally, but considering most yachts spend a few months out of the water every year, that's when anything that needs to be taken care of gets taken care of.
@@grondhero No, I wasnt talking about the walk in style, I meant the huge double door units in the galley, crew mess...the size of the fridges vs the size of the door ways and hallways do not add up. Like how do you get a full sized double door fridge down a small tight spiral staircase that you barely rub shoulders wall to wall to get it into the crew mess...it would be impossible.
I can only speak for cargo ships, but yeah they go in trough the door and hallways. with some fitting sailors vocabulary towards the person who designed that route ;) or take out a porthole glass, that sometimes works too. or dismantle the whole appliance and reasmble in place, if it really won't go.
@@eccentricsmithy2746 Again, likely installed during the build. Obviously it can't be impossible if they already got it there and unlikely impossible to replace since they're still putting them in yachts. Three likely scenarios: 1) These are such high quality that they can go several years without needing to be replaced. 2) Whenever they need to be replaced, they dismantle them and remove the doors. 3) By the time they need to be replaced, there's probably a refit going on anyway, so, if need be, they might cut a hole in the galley wall and simply replace the wall during the refit.
A lot of the time there is a specific access route that has extra wide doorways or even removable wall sections so that large items can get to the engine room. On most yachts the galley is not too far from the ER so getting things just a little further isn't too bad. Sometimes you have to take doors off their hinges. And yeah, if the doors need to come off of a fridge then off they come. I've never seen a double door domestic style fridge on a yacht, always single door commercial units beside eachother. The largest item in a galley is usually the commercial steam oven, even they will fit through a standard doorway on their back once the door is off the hinges.
I really enjoyed your review of Victorious’ GAP and would just like to add an experienced comment on your dislike of an Owner’s Suite above the Pilothouse. I agree, it doesn’t work if you don’t plan, design and test for it from the very beginning as we did on a 51m Feadship, launched in 1993. As Captain and project manager for the design and build of a lower Bridge deck, which has completed a few world circumnavigations and many Pacific circumnavigations, it can be done safely with a number of benefits. You need to start design with the required line of sight, improving with a reverse sheer on a bow that is already high to compensate for reverse sheer. Then during tank tests, confirm G forces on elevated bridge which is quite far forward to make sure they are well within storm condition G levels. I found the benefits to having watch keepers closer to bow is a better appreciation of developing critical wave periods and breaking seas, rather than watching the bow bury from a distance from further back and high. I never needed to tell them to reduce RPM’s or adjust angle and after many ocean crossings. We never had any shell damage. to this day Also being close to anchor windlass action, when on a wing station, made it easier for me to monitor safe practices or dealing with fouled problems. Like anything else, you need to do your homework, when doing something different.
Does the Gent's Club have a stripper pole? Nevermind. Probably best not to answer. Sorry, could resist. lol Is there special ventilation and air filtration in teh Gent's Club because of the cigar smoking? Assuming there is a window behind the Jacuzzi on the upper deck, wouldn't make more sens for teh bar to face toward the Jacuzzi rather than face the formal dining table? Extra "crew" cabins may be for the nanny and personal assistant(s). Just speculation on my part.
D-value. D-value means the largest dimension of the helicopter used for assessment of the helideck when its rotors are turning. It establishes the required area of foam application.
Excellent episode! Deck plans and details help picture the real thing enormously.. However, it would be even better if augmented and interwoven by snippets of a filmed tour. Great job!!!
Thanks for the wonderful explanation of all the decks on Victorious. You always do such a wonderful job of keeping us informed on yachts and yachting news. Thank you!
In case no other aficionados have mentioned it yet that sun deck/lounge looks amazing :D Humidors, btw, (again in case no one else has mentioned) are spaces designed to stay at, or as close as possible to, 70°f and 70% humidity for ideal cigar/smoking tobacco storage. Which I guess can be "cold" when superyachts mostly roam geographic regions with an 80°f minimum :D Humidors are also ideally lined with, and in the case of walk-in sized versions such as on MY Victorius, have the shelves and/or organizing partitions crafted from, specific varieties of spanish cedar wood. This is because long-term storage in anything else has been known to either contaminate or dull the flavor of the tobacco with time. Whereas the cedar actually enhances it to the point some of the more patient aficionados will let their tobacco "age" or "season" in the humidor for a while before lighting up. If you're going for the full-on pompous mustache-twirling villain experience you then must light the cigar or pipe (I enjoy both when I can afford it) with a small strip of that spanish cedar which was itself set ablaze by a match; no fuel lighters for the real purist. Butane torch lighters (the ones with an especially hot blue flame) are acceptable for beginners, for a more "roughing it" experience, or those who don't want to completely lose touch with the common folk. [adjusts monocole] Draw (not "suck"; one does not suck on a cigar or pipe) the smoke into the mouth as one might sip a mouthful of milkshake or favorite Starbucks concoction through a straw, and then hold it there for as long as desired to enjoy the flavor and sensation. Then puff it out. At no point should unfiltered tobacco smoke intentionally touch your lungs (though accidents happen), those yellow fiber-y things on the end of pleb cigarettes are there for a reason. Nicotine is absorbed through the soft tissues of the mouth, especially under the tongue, at least as readily as by the lungs. It is middlingly addictive, yes, but also a neuro-stimulant that may help ward off degenerative conditions like alzhimers and dementia. I am only saying "may" though. Some hard research into it is unlikely due to the increasingly prohibition-like politics surrounding tobbaco consumption. Ok, sidetrack into another topic of interest complete. Back to the rest of the video.
What size would you consider the perfect size boat to be, for med and Atlantic travel. Also, able to dock in harbour, without being over size. Your videos are great also very informative. Thanks , Phil.
Interesting when you look up her IMO number she’s now called Ulysses and is owned by Felham Enterprises, which indicates Hart has bought her back. Felham Enterprises is the company Hart runs his yachts through.
Cigar humidors are usually kept at 65° F for Cuban cigars and 70° F for non Cuban cigars if they are ready for smoking. Colder temps are used for aging in general. Humidity is usually kept at 65-70% with lower humidity for aging. Personal preference may be different. Paneled with Spanish cedar in most cases. Another video said it was a wood burning fireplace with storage for 2000 pounds of firewood.
There are two/four more birth near the beach club. This is what I saw on another viewing/walk threw of this ship. On the walk threw that I saw the 4 cabins near the beach club were for guests. If you noticed the floor in the hallway is marbled in that area. They might have changed the crew cabins to double occupancy. In that walk threw they indicated a 27 crew staff. They never showed the crew area. Love this ship.
So many of these very large yachts are capable of sailing world wide. Has any consideration been given to mitigate the risk of piracy, for example the Seychelles?
As an owner and for security is it safe to have your boat plans available for scrutiny ... I might not like people to know the exact whereabouts of my or my childrens cabins etc but that said it is nice to see the "topography" of a super yacht. Great job, Stay Safe !!

This is an excellent video, getting the point of view of someone who's worked on Superyachts - the perspective is great : )
Love these deck plan walk throughs, some of my favorites of your videos. Thanks!
would be a perfect vessle for my family
Brilliant vid. Watched so many super yacht vids and i honestly think victorious is the one id have
I quite enjoyed this tour of the deck plan. Some unusual features to be sure. I love when you do these. Thanks
That was educational and interesting. Great video thanks 😊
Great walkthrough
That was a great video - would be good to see you do more like this

Keep up the good work, looking forward to more in the coming weeks
Thank you for the description 😎. Maybe one day can get to do a walkthrough🤞🏼 k appreciate the tine and effort you put into these videos.
Time well spent, It is refreshing to get a crew/engineers perspective. Now, get back to work! :)
Came for the tour. Stayed for the Mickey Mouse glove curser. :)
Great VDO mate.
hi E man i just got to let you know most of that was not fully in screen bro but i realy love how you took us threw a floor plan, and some abreviations i didnt know but , hey its me , keep up the good work mate cheers
Very informative. Great video.
Great video, thank you!
You note that there are double beds in the captain's and chief engineer's cabins. Are the senior crew members allowed to have a spouse live on the yacht with them if the spouse is not a crew member?.
No, they just get a bed for a grown up. On a yacht it’s considered a luxury

Yacht like Wally Why 200 and luminosity...full with glasses...can they stand the hot tropical climates... please kindly answer my question
Nice video. The only thing that could be an upgrade for the video, though a difficult one, would be some actual footage of the interior of the yacht.

Why does this make you weary? It's really not that tiring.
Wary? Still would like to know. Thanks.

DO PEOPLE FISH ? SMALL BOATS ? ?
Wow. Disappointed. I thought this would be an actual tour.
Anyone under 75 years old smoking a cigar looks like a damned fool.
I love when you're able to find deck plans and go through them for us.

I always spend time looking at deck plans! For me it would be the most exciting part about designing a yacht…so I liked this video…great job
Very nice Yacht well thought out. nothing to not like about it.
Good presentation. Thanks and regards.
WOW this was a great video!!!!! thants for finding this!!!
So I have a serious question. I watched hundreds of yacht walk through videos. I noticed that a lot of appliances are huge, such as refrigerators, freezers, washer and dryers...how do they remove them from the ship if one breaks down and has to be replaced or if the owner wants to upgrade appliances? The door ways, entry ways are so small....HOW DID THEY EVEN GET THEM IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE? Do they install them at the shipyard before they finish the construction before it gets to tight? How do they get a full size sub zero fridge/freezer 3 floors down in the boat with entry ways that barely fit a human??
For the items such as walk in fridge/freezers, those are installed before the ship is finished. If the owner wants to upgrade, that's done in the off-season/downtime, when the yacht goes through its yearly cleaning, along with taking care of scratches and possible repainting. Washer/dryers probably could be done normally, but considering most yachts spend a few months out of the water every year, that's when anything that needs to be taken care of gets taken care of.
@@grondhero No, I wasnt talking about the walk in style, I meant the huge double door units in the galley, crew mess...the size of the fridges vs the size of the door ways and hallways do not add up. Like how do you get a full sized double door fridge down a small tight spiral staircase that you barely rub shoulders wall to wall to get it into the crew mess...it would be impossible.
I can only speak for cargo ships, but yeah they go in trough the door and hallways. with some fitting sailors vocabulary towards the person who designed that route ;)
or take out a porthole glass, that sometimes works too.
or dismantle the whole appliance and reasmble in place, if it really won't go.
@@eccentricsmithy2746 Again, likely installed during the build. Obviously it can't be impossible if they already got it there and unlikely impossible to replace since they're still putting them in yachts.
Three likely scenarios: 1) These are such high quality that they can go several years without needing to be replaced. 2) Whenever they need to be replaced, they dismantle them and remove the doors. 3) By the time they need to be replaced, there's probably a refit going on anyway, so, if need be, they might cut a hole in the galley wall and simply replace the wall during the refit.
A lot of the time there is a specific access route that has extra wide doorways or even removable wall sections so that large items can get to the engine room. On most yachts the galley is not too far from the ER so getting things just a little further isn't too bad.
Sometimes you have to take doors off their hinges. And yeah, if the doors need to come off of a fridge then off they come.
I've never seen a double door domestic style fridge on a yacht, always single door commercial units beside eachother. The largest item in a galley is usually the commercial steam oven, even they will fit through a standard doorway on their back once the door is off the hinges.
I have seen all your videos this is the best so far. THANK-YOU.
Unusual to see the captains cabin on the port side. Never seen that. Neither on commercial boats, or on any super yacht.
Any idea why they chose this?
One of your best videos IMHO.
I love these kinds of videos
Great video, more of this, please!! :) Maybe Octopus next?
I really enjoyed your review of Victorious’ GAP and would just like to add an experienced comment on your dislike of an Owner’s Suite above the Pilothouse.
I agree, it doesn’t work if you don’t plan, design and test for it from the very beginning as we did on a 51m Feadship, launched in 1993.
As Captain and project manager for the design and build of a lower Bridge deck, which has completed a few world circumnavigations and many Pacific circumnavigations, it can be done safely with a number of benefits.
You need to start design with the required line of sight, improving with a reverse sheer on a bow that is already high to compensate for reverse sheer.
Then during tank tests, confirm G forces on elevated bridge which is quite far forward to make sure they are well within storm condition G levels.
I found the benefits to having watch keepers closer to bow is a better appreciation of developing critical wave periods and breaking seas, rather than watching the bow bury from a distance from further back and high. I never needed to tell them to reduce RPM’s or adjust angle and after many ocean crossings. We never had any shell damage. to this day
Also being close to anchor windlass action, when on a wing station, made it easier for me to monitor safe practices or dealing with fouled problems.
Like anything else, you need to do your homework, when doing something different.
Does the Gent's Club have a stripper pole?
Nevermind. Probably best not to answer. Sorry, could resist. lol
Is there special ventilation and air filtration in teh Gent's Club because of the cigar smoking?
Assuming there is a window behind the Jacuzzi on the upper deck, wouldn't make more sens for teh bar to face toward the Jacuzzi rather than face the formal dining table?
Extra "crew" cabins may be for the nanny and personal assistant(s). Just speculation on my part.
I think a galley lobby is just a fancy way of say of saying scullery, which is a place to cut food, make preparations and store stuff.
Thank you!
How did Esysman get a copy of the plans? My guess is he’s the owner and is masquerading as a crew member to maintain a low profile!
Fascinating
What does the "82" mean for the helicopter? 8200 pound maximum weight? 8200 kg?
D-value. D-value means the largest dimension of the helicopter used for assessment of the helideck when its rotors are turning. It establishes the required area of foam application.
@@YachtReport Ah, 82 feet in the longest dimension. That is all but the very heaviest transport helicopters.
Loved the great tour. Thanks for posting.
Aren’t you a senior enough crew member to get your own berth?
I hope you mean cabin. Or do they need to share a queen bed? 😂😂
Excellent episode! Deck plans and details help picture the real thing enormously.. However, it would be even better if augmented and interwoven by snippets of a filmed tour. Great job!!!
Thanks for the wonderful explanation of all the decks on Victorious. You always do such a wonderful job of keeping us informed on yachts and yachting news. Thank you!
30 min video, im ready
In case no other aficionados have mentioned it yet that sun deck/lounge looks amazing :D
Humidors, btw, (again in case no one else has mentioned) are spaces designed to stay at, or as close as possible to, 70°f and 70% humidity for ideal cigar/smoking tobacco storage. Which I guess can be "cold" when superyachts mostly roam geographic regions with an 80°f minimum :D
Humidors are also ideally lined with, and in the case of walk-in sized versions such as on MY Victorius, have the shelves and/or organizing partitions crafted from, specific varieties of spanish cedar wood. This is because long-term storage in anything else has been known to either contaminate or dull the flavor of the tobacco with time. Whereas the cedar actually enhances it to the point some of the more patient aficionados will let their tobacco "age" or "season" in the humidor for a while before lighting up.
If you're going for the full-on pompous mustache-twirling villain experience you then must light the cigar or pipe (I enjoy both when I can afford it) with a small strip of that spanish cedar which was itself set ablaze by a match; no fuel lighters for the real purist. Butane torch lighters (the ones with an especially hot blue flame) are acceptable for beginners, for a more "roughing it" experience, or those who don't want to completely lose touch with the common folk. [adjusts monocole]
Draw (not "suck"; one does not suck on a cigar or pipe) the smoke into the mouth as one might sip a mouthful of milkshake or favorite Starbucks concoction through a straw, and then hold it there for as long as desired to enjoy the flavor and sensation. Then puff it out. At no point should unfiltered tobacco smoke intentionally touch your lungs (though accidents happen), those yellow fiber-y things on the end of pleb cigarettes are there for a reason.
Nicotine is absorbed through the soft tissues of the mouth, especially under the tongue, at least as readily as by the lungs. It is middlingly addictive, yes, but also a neuro-stimulant that may help ward off degenerative conditions like alzhimers and dementia. I am only saying "may" though. Some hard research into it is unlikely due to the increasingly prohibition-like politics surrounding tobbaco consumption.
Ok, sidetrack into another topic of interest complete. Back to the rest of the video.
What size would you consider the perfect size boat to be, for med and Atlantic travel. Also, able to dock in harbour, without being over size.
Your videos are great also very informative. Thanks , Phil.
great information
Interesting when you look up her IMO number she’s now called Ulysses and is owned by Felham Enterprises, which indicates Hart has bought her back. Felham Enterprises is the company Hart runs his yachts through.
Cigar humidors are usually kept at 65° F for Cuban cigars and 70° F for non Cuban cigars if they are ready for smoking. Colder temps are used for aging in general. Humidity is usually kept at 65-70% with lower humidity for aging. Personal preference may be different. Paneled with Spanish cedar in most cases. Another video said it was a wood burning fireplace with storage for 2000 pounds of firewood.
I believe the optimum temperature and humidity for cigar storage is 70F/70%. Not cold for sure.
My favorite channel, e!
There are two/four more birth near the beach club. This is what I saw on another viewing/walk threw of this ship. On the walk threw that I saw the 4 cabins near the beach club were for guests. If you noticed the floor in the hallway is marbled in that area. They might have changed the crew cabins to double occupancy. In that walk threw they indicated a 27 crew staff. They never showed the crew area. Love this ship.
So many of these very large yachts are capable of sailing world wide. Has any consideration been given to mitigate the risk of piracy, for example the Seychelles?
Please tell us which Classification Society governs this heap.
Just delivered and put up for sale asking 125 million euros. They seem to be doing quite a media offensive to get rid of it?
A bit basic for me but nice to see what the lower class have to put up with (joking, it'll do)
great video
the owner probably only has vip guests in the room when the boat is ankered
annoying to hear you eating while you talk
Well done, thanks for sharing!
We keep our marijuana in the cigar store
👍🏻😎
I really enjoy your channel very much. I also appreciate the VPN discount. It’s what made me sign up. Keep up the great work..
Why arent the propeller shafts horizontal? Is the face of the propeller angled as well? I think this directly affects eficiency
As an owner and for security is it safe to have your boat plans available for scrutiny ... I might not like people to know the exact whereabouts of my or my childrens cabins etc but that said it is nice to see the "topography" of a super yacht. Great job, Stay Safe !!
