The background dramatic music is perfect in conveying the message that war is not just about bombs and military supremacy but affects entire industries and all those working in them. North America is mostly shielded from this devastating calamity. Thank you for bringing forward the impact suffered by the personnel working on this vessels.

Sorry, I don't feel bad for the industry. If you dance with the devil, you will get destroyed by the devil. Yacht manufacturers knew that they were dealing with crooks and dirty money stolen from the regular citizens of Russia. Boo hoo.

[@bluezinnia847]

Wow! This is becoming an Hitchcock-ian, sort of suspense...and I predict this will be a very big movie one day. It could even surpass the Titanic, if well scripted.

The biggest boat I ever cleaned was 65 feet. It took 2 of us 2 weeks to do and it looked pretty clean when we started. Keep those sneakers tied up tight 007. It would suck if you went to jail and couldn't make these great videos. PS. That place is spectacular. I would be happy to spend time there in a dinghy. Thanks

[@brianpercival1829]

This video quality is excellent. I have a DJI but it shakes so this drone must be a high quality drone for stable shots like this. Looks like cinematography. The knowledge you have on all these yachts and owners is massive. I look forward to each video you put out. Nice work. Editing must take hours and hours.

[@frankthetank9332]

I have 3 different DJI‘s. Most time i fly the mini 2, but it doesn’t shake. Your DJI should also be stable in the air.

[@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491]

there is something called "digital stabilizer" maybe yours needs turning on ?

[@bragr_]

I haven't had any problems with my DJIs shaking. If anything, the video looks almost unnaturally smooth from the stabilization.

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Isn't that a problem with DJI drones? You may want to do some research, you may have to send it back in to get it fixed...

[@YachtReport]

[@ronboe6325]

At first blush you think "I have a super yacht; I can go where ever I want, survive a war or pandemic - it's perfect!". But something as simple as paying for food, fuel, crew - suddenly they are quite fragile; vulnerable to the smallest supply chain glitch.

It's easy to overlook the innocent crew who are just doing honest work but it does suggest that if one wants to work in the industry it might be best for job security to consider to the degree possible who one is working for. Sadly the degree possible may not be much until you've already signed papers. Great work as always eSysman, best in the business on your topic.

Their was a shortage of crewmen so I’m sure most have found new jobs. My friend works on a charter yacht and said they are fully staffed for the first time in a long time.

Great Job again. You news briefs are so much more informative than the amateurs in DC. Maybe you should bring your level of professionalism and dedication to journalism to the big 4 outlets.

[@giadamelchiorre3479]

I loved this approach you took, it added so much to your reporting. I feel from the workers on these ships, it gas to be a strain on them and ism pretty sure they are just a ticked off at Putin, like the rest. I would love to see the interior of Lady M.

[@robertfrost1683]

Very good Detective work. Sorry about all the crew and follow on personnel that will be affected. The large yachts will hurt more, because they require more specialized facilities / personnel. On the other hand it is very revealing that a high percentage of the 295+ Yachts are Russian owned - seems to reinforce the idea that the funding of these vessels is not from clean money. Lurssen will just have to make money building less than 295" foot SY.

[@currencytrader4389]

I cant be the only one that teared up from the intro music. I love opera...*sniff* *sniff*. I'm not crying! Thats from the coke! On a more serious note, are these crew members able to easily find new jobs? Whats the supply and demand like for yachties??

[@Spacey7]

I really look forward to seeing your videos eSysman 😊 Strange but true lol

[@BrianSmith-yn2zg]

Another Great episode thanks for all your hard work eSysman. It's sad so many have lost job's but it's even sadder that so many innocents people have died in the war Russia started.

[@jonathan-rq8jp]

I don't think a little bit of discomfort for the super yacht industry or a few crew losing their jobs are cause for concern or even afforded any consideration .Innocent people who didn't have a great deal to begin with are being killed and left destitute by the arrogant ruthless gangsters that own these crass symbols of wealth. Perhaps the sanctioned vessels could be sold to help those unfortunate Ukrainians.

I do not feel sorry for any crew that were working for terrorists, directly or indirectly. They should research who they are working for. As for companies making money from terrorists, I don't feel sorry for them either. I hope they get the other boats. To end my comment on a positive note, that really was an awesome video and put together well.

[@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491]

you have good points but those sailors have tremendous skills and finding a niche job like that is not easy.

[@Tankoxious]

Thanks, you did make me reflect on this some more. I guess I feel a little sorry for the crew. Sometimes it is hard to find out the type of person/company you want to work for. Especially in this age of media where you never know who is telling the truth or what the truth is. Although it's kinda easy to see what's happening in Ukraine. Curious if they would have quit or if they would work for the same person again? I would hope that if it was myself, I would have quit or never worked for them again.
