Nice to see the "smaller" bespoke yacht builders. they look very capable, look forward to seeing a 50m as and when they produce one. BTW David, why not drive to Holland probably more fun and safer for your luggage.

Agree with you David about the resale value of restored/refitted yachts. I've seen and worked on some ablsolute horrors, as they are often sent to yards with little or no knowledge in that field, for a cheaper price. On one Spanish rebuilt 88' classic yacht, the watermaker kept clogging up with black gunk. No one could work out how it was doing it. Was the water inlet next to the black/grey water outlet or what? No, I found the the inlet strainer was the same as for one of the gennies. When the high-pressure pump of the watermaker kicked in, it was sucking all the cooling water from the gennie and it's exhaust separator before the seawater from the strainer, as the inlet was a little too small. Simples. The yard should have known this. I just fitted 2 cocks on the strainer and turned them on and off as needed.

I was under the impression that the Volvo Penta Pods are forward facing drives which is one of the selling points, as much as a 30% more fuel efficiency due to no restrictions of the propeller to the water along with increased maneuverability just like the Assie Pod drive on the Benetti Yachts. To Jontus: It seems that both Volvo Penta and Benetti are the ones that copied the pod drives from the Assie style pod drives used on large ships.

It's at least two months away from publishing I'm afraid, and I have to ensure that the owner approves before we can show anybody. However, the yacht is destined for our charter fleet so I'm pretty sure we'll get their approval.

David, you seem to confirm the growing trend towards explorer/expedition yachts, I am interested in this segment, 40 to 50m, basically to retire on to live aboard semi-permanently (with forays onto land-based tours) and to travel the world with friends and family ticking off the bucket list. I am yet to see a yacht design that I really like! Unless they are really big, oligarch owned mega-yachts, they seem to influenced by the existing crop of superyachts more suited to week-long charters or short voyages but get tagged as explorer/expedition yachts. My main gripe is the overall design that seem to heavily orientated around "guest luxury" and subjects the paid crew to "cells in the bilges". Maybe a slight exaggeration but surely the crew need greater space allocation on longer voyages, why waste so much valuable space on separate stairways, and really what is the point on having separate areas for "guests" and crew on long, say 6 month voyages. I see "owner staterooms/apartments" that are plainly excessive and grand, who wants to spend time in the bedroom when there is the boat to enjoy or the surrounds, why not dedicate more of this space to better use. As far as I am concerned the paid crew on long voyages should be able to enjoy the entire boat and to dine at the big dinner table where you can discuss the day and what is planned next. What are your thoughts on this?

David, a follow-up question on wether it makes financial sense buying a scrap yacht then refit.. How is that different from buying a donor vessel and doing a conversion? I mean, for the refit there is a lot that can remain in the boat; in the conversion there is a lot of scrap made.

As far as explorer yachts go....i would love to take an expedition down to the Antarctic or at least down the tip of South America, but also be able to travel back to the Bahama's or the Mediterranean whenever I wanted. If I had the money to do so, I would probably try to live on it year round (if possible) and just go where ever the Hell, I wanted. That's the dream anyway.

Last I was aware, there were approximately 140 Russian "investors" who were on the sanctioned lists; hardly "all." And IIRC, Russians make up about 10% of the European market, so I don't see how 90% means "no future." You should really do some research to prevent bad assumptions.
