A reminder this is the man supposedly building Titanic 2, let that sink in

[@23727bgk]

Having your own relatively average size yacht become grounded twice in 8 months hopefully doesn't inspire confidence for the Titanic II. Hope the captain of his yacht isn't chosen to be Captain of the Titanic II. ..

Getting that sinking feeling, are you?

[@paullees5705]

Maybe Clive himself was on board and moving around, when the extra weight of Clive on one side caused the boat to ground on the sandbar🤣

I see what you're trying to do there, but GT is a measurement of volume, not mass. Displacement covers the mass of the vessel, whilst Deadweight Tonnage covers the mass of the cargo.

The whole Gold Coast Broadwater is very shallow with many constant shifting sandbanks. Really it's a nightmare in a 12 metre boat least of all a Superyacht

[@Mike-ie6ee]

I really enjoy your informative shows eSysman. Excellent objective yacht news information. I now follow your every show waiting to see what's next in the yacht world. Thank you for your wonderful talent

[@tr1stan92]

I would imagine the yacht exceeded its draft specs once Clime Parmer got onboard causing it to hit the sandbank and run aground when it normally wouldn't without Clive 😂

[@SSkywalker13]

So I went down to the dock again today, spoke to another owner moored in same docks, the story he told me is that there is a narrow channel and Clive's yacht moved to far to one side to allow a regatta of smaller sailing yachts to move past...Clive's super yacht is moored again at its usual spot.

[@zorbakaput8537]

The most factual comment here for anyone who knows the waterways there.

[@Markle2k]

Shouldn’t they have passed port-to-port? I do understand that sailing vessels have right-of-way, but isn’t consistency the heart of safety?

[@hasyourgulaggotplanningper2459]

That channel at Gold Coast can be very sporty. I went through there on a 21 metre race yacht and there were big standing waves. It's well known for catching out sailors.

[@johns.777]

Sandbank > Sandback. Love your channel. Thanks again.

[@nbrettoner]

8.28 Loved the "tongue~in~cheek" eggsplanation as to why it's ok to use "map" in lieu of "Chart". I shows that you izz hoomin like the rest of some of us. 😊 ok ok, perhaps I shood have used "instead" instead of "lieu".

[@jimmyhvy2277]

I was stuck on the sand bank in the same Area on a 53ft sailing Vessel . got off on high tide on our own .

[@JohnSmith-zo6ir]

I'm from the Gold Coast and I know that channel well. It is quite tricky especially for a yacht that size at low tide. Ditto for the bar as you leave out to sea. However, any skipper worth their weight knows that channel. I would say something mechanical has happened. The Gold Coast City Council has been talking for years about building a super yacht/ cruise ship terminal at Wavebreak Island for precisely this reason. It will require constant dredging though. As it turns out I am meeting with Clive Palmer and Tucker Carlson this weekend. I will ask him what happened.

[@dcallan812]

[@darrenedmonds1163]

You know the 65 million yacht. It changed my thinking with helium 3 and 4 in the water supply. Now the axis is off and GPS location mapping needs adjusting. Hence the grounding like whales.

[@thomasecosse]

Hiring a navigator in addition to the Captain sounds like a no-brainer, it is just common sense to sail in and out of the harbour on a high tide!

[@user-kh3nz9lb2k]

First (Chief), Second and Third mate ranks are all Qualified "Navigators."

[@csjrogerson2377]

Many places around the world dont have high and low tides or if they do, they're negligible. Now what? Its the amount of water under the keel that's important. If you can sail in or out at any state of the tide, then you do so. It's a given that you stay away from the putty.

[@loufaiella3354]

the Australia captain probably forgot to lock his car. Ive done that!

[@tubewatcher3100]

The owner or whoever was bossing the crew around failed to consider that waterways are not flat roads. They crossed the area without incident the first time but the tide went out and the draft got shallower by the time they turned back and went over the same spot.

[@paulcrosbie8247]

The only yachts that don’t ground in The Broadwater are those that never leave the marina. Bad luck Clive, it happens to all of us.

[@jonathanscott550]

MY Australia Has to be something like computer system, depth finder, radar, but twice in 8 months. You'd figure the problem would have been found out and dealt with then during first grounding. Again, like you said we'll have to wait for official report to come out and confirm. Now with you saying maps & not chart so us no sea/ boaters will understand is a bunch of BS lol. Especially when you are taking advice from ELON MUSK. Really good video by the way and looking forward to next one cheers

[@user-zf3xb3qx8w]

Smaller boats often the licensed/certified/crew can have other "issues", alcohol and drugs. Stress!!!?

[@jiggsborah7041]

Maybe they should move the speaker from next to the compass 😂😂😂

[@calumshaw]

Surely Clive's skipper can hold station if required (eg to make way for a flotilla of sailing craft) but running aground in your home port must indicate something mechanical was very much amiss. Still don't know why the boat ran aground in Singapore.

Newbie Question!! - - some one in the know please explain to me- as it blows my mind at a yacht of this calibre or even the one in Valencia gets grounded/beached - there must be 1/2 dozen apps let alone Raymarine or B&G type equipment on board to to audibly alert the crew WELL before anything bad happens?

Grievance with terminology number two, he grounded on a *sandbank not a “sandback” as the title would have it. Nevertheless Clive’s grandiose plan for the Titanic recreation is similar to his intelligence, run aground due to shallowness.

Auto pilot is not fool proof. If the vessel had mechanical issues the AP would not work. Also in a channel like that they would most certainly be in manual steering mode.
