150' EXPLORER "QING" IS FOR SALE AFTER HAVING CRUISED THE WORLD!

For more details about "QING":
www.northropandjohnson.com/ya...
"QING" is one of the yachts in the Northrop & Johnson fleet that I most wanted to film. I remember when Cheoy Lee released this model on the market and the impact she had at the Monaco Yacht Show when she attended...her propulsion system is simple and effective. watch the video to see more details!

[@nerblebun]

Pretending I had the money to buy this beautiful explorer yacht, I'd have to change the hull color from red to a dark sea green. Love the dark wood. Of course at my age, any wood is greatly appreciated.

Of all the beautiful yachts you feature on your channel, this is the one I could actually envision myself living on. Not just a lot of glitz for a couple of weeks then sent off to be chartered, but designed as a true home on the water. Thoughtful and practical living areas for the owner/family and also the crew. Thank you for sharing and hope she finds an owner that will continue to cruise the world.

[@DrClumber]

Agreed, beautifully set up. No nonsense, just a yacht to explore the world with, the fact that it has done is just a total confirmation of that.

[@barrygoffe]

I remember being blown away by this yacht when it was launched. So cool to finally see a thorough walk through. I think the most remarkable thing is how pristine she is - especially given it's explorer pedigree. Clearly, this yacht has received endless love and attention. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with us!!!

[@NicholasIngel]

Really nice to see the increase in videos you and your team are putting out. Love it.

[@boeing-lt4el]

I watch all the yacht channels, every one has its own flavor/speciality. You have by FAR the most professional and classy walkthroughs, telling a story about how the new owner might utilize the vessel. Any owner of a large yacht MUST get you to do the sales video! You should also be selling biz jets😀 .

[@markuswunsch]

Nice follow-up video on Qing. I love the red hull color and subtly integrated Chinese design features. Also, great layout and technical setup with the many redundancies. Fun fact: The logo of Qing is the traditional Chinese character 慶 (only used in the regions of Hong Kong, Tawain and Macau) for joy, festivity, felicity and celebrations which again matches with the hull color as red in China symbolizes luck, joy, fertility and happiness (-> it’s why brides in China don’t wear white but red wedding dresses). So the name doesn’t seem to refer to the Qing dynasty (in that context qing - written with a different letter - is usually translated as water or azure to contrast with the preceding Ming dynasty which carried the symbol for fire) as I first thought without seeing the logo.

[@Evo9john]

What a classy yacht. I would be very proud to be the engineer on a boat like this. The mechanical spaces look so well done.

[@watcherspirit2351]

That library takes the cake. I love it. Great presentation as always.

[@rudideghelt]

I'm not going to talk about the quality of the videos anymore. The top. Good idea to add the schematic of the boat. This yacht is formidable, by the beauty of the exterior (color). I am missing a few Euros. Well, more than a few, a lot. 😂😂😂😂 Thanks David and your Team 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@clifbradley]

Most Cheoy Lee explorer yachts have two propellers. The second one is a smaller one meant to be an emergency back up, but can also be used as an emergency to add speed. The most famous Cheoy Lee was Dorothea III. Along with its fishing boat Post One, they cruised the world fishing and exploring. It's what Cheoy Lee is known for. They are also known for offering their clients a spare propeller. When exploring, that is very important to have since it could take weeks to get a new one in case something happened. So most owners who own these take advantage of that and get a second propeller in case it's needed. Another aspect of these yachts is that they are easy to fish off of. The variable pitch propeller makes it easy to fish off this yacht and the jet drive makes it easy to back down on a fish if needed. A smaller Cheoy Lee that was named Short Round, actually participated in many offshore fishing tournaments in Florida. Sadly that boat was sold to someone in Asia and it's whereabouts are unknown but it was a cool unique boat as are most of these. Bering, Numarine, Cheoy Lee, CdM and Gulf Craft make some of my favorite yachts.

[@Canopus68]

I wouldn't buy anything this big without two engines. After being left bouncing around on the Clyde River doing 20 to 30 deg rolls on a 65 boat with one engine, I want two engines.

I completely agree with Susan. It seems to be a beautiful, capable, and practical explorer yacht. I've seen this yacht on brokerage sites and other videos, and I found your video to be the most informative and enjoyable. Thank you.

This is a beautiful ship full of options for all ages. What a striking difference is made though with the bold use of the colour red. Just stunning.

I like this yatch because getting to know your crew leads to trust. Trust will build a relationship to help change the direction if someone gets in a pinch

[@grondhero]

I like the layout change of this yacht. Not sure how I feel about the interior wood, but it's probably something I could adjust to. I would also like to thank you on the number of videos you've been releasing recently. It's like every other day you upload a video and you're going to get us spoiled when you can't keep up that pace. ;)

[@shaunnewman8375]

I can personally attest to the reliability and functionality of the Schottel Jet Drive. A few years ago, whilst serving aboard a North Sea Rescue Vessel we lost the main propulsion in a gale of wind, for four days we manoeuvred in the gales in the North Sea Winter using only the Fwd Schottel Drive, it worked like a treat, kept us moving slowly but most importantly, kept our head to the wind. Qing or Dorothea III would be my yacht of choice.

[@thomasw5430]

Great tour! Worth the wait. As a diver, the dive center in the lazaret sold me on this yacht. I would actually have room for my dive gear!

[@ondro727]

Very nice and interesting presentation, again. Beautiful yacht I can imagine spend many months on. But what I realised is that I like the small change in presentation, where the main narration is not interrupted by spliced in detail shots - usually it is disturbing (it is fine as a "post" shot befor leaving certain area of the boat) and it confuses the sense of orientation. I really like this time it is clearly visible what path leads where, I get great "feeling" of the boat, of moving/being there. Much better for me to enjoy and also much easier to pretend I could spend some considerable time on a boat like this :) Anyway, great work as usual!

[@MIAthe305]

I love a blue hull, I’ve even grown to love the new modern style grey/gunmetal yachts … never seen a red yacht like that, reminds me of my grandma who loves to wear red. Red yachts seem to make a statement as a classy and sexy yacht

[@dnmurphy48]

Very nice, I could see myself living on that and. exploring the world.

[@pookatim]

This is the first yacht I cannot take issue with. It checks all the boxes on my list. One pet peeve of mine is the excessive number of TV screens on yachts. It is a yacht! Enjoy the experience! Watch TV at home! The single main engine with the secondary is an excellent solution. 11 crew for a 150' yacht? That seems like a lot. Why so many? Most yachts in this size have about half as many crewmen.

[@darthkek1953]

If it's just splashing around chartering you will likely not need a full compliment, but during proper exploration the bridge will be running a 24 hour shift system, three rotas of 8 hours. Also crew can include the likes of teachers for the children (as the previous owner did) so some crew slots will be optional (teacher, fitness instructor / nutritionist, PA, etc.).

[@thinkingoutloud6741]

This feels like a mini-cruise ship. Amazing! This is how I would spend a big lottery win.

[@pierre.a.larsen]

This is a great looking yacht from a traditional shipyard with proven experience known for quality and ability. The design is beautiful - even though red is not my favorite color - it suits this one. Overall, the design is simply done with great taste and even understatement, yet it still very luxurious and imminently livable for long periods. This is a real little ship and one of the best yachts of its size I have ever seen. On top of that the specifications are perfect. Steel hull, safety, light superstructure, propulsion, range, stabilizers and arrangements. Instead of a simple wing engine it has a complete spare engine room with independent propulsion. Unfortunately, it is out of my price range - but even the price is very reasonable when comparing to other yachts, it looks like new and this is a proven world explorer ready to go. Somebody very fortunate is going exploring on the extraordinary Qing.

Such a beautiful layout, the only change I would want to make would be having 2 screws vs just the 1. I get the bow thruster is powerful, however you get much better handling with 2 vs 1 and that's 20 years experience on the open ocean in vessels from 150' up to over 1,000'. And the wood, very interesting choice but it works beautifully, makes it feel more comforting and inviting the way a home should, or home away from home.

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

Thank you David, the layout inlays are brilliant! Really nice galley for a 46m yacht, and the ability to separate baking/cooking area excellent (and hygienic). Personally I think the hull colour fits her very well, and sets her off from the rest of the crowd. Also like that, although modern, she still has the 'boat' feel. I'll spare you my comments on the crew cabins, but really... 4 decks and no elevator, in this day and age? Even a 1-person vacuum elevator would make a huge difference for some passengers, and is easy to build in. We are non of us getting any younger, remember? 😉

[@qwerty13380]

My only disappointment was no elevator, well, that and the bridge being all white. Poor for night vision.

[@seantwomey396]
