Dashew FPB in mediterrean clothes... 😉

[@dasimparmy2289]

Well we could go even back further and say all boats are med designed dressed in whatever clothes. 😂😅

[@Iam-mad]

@@dasimparmy2289 😂 well in the kind of waves the New Zealanders have I´m not in for some meds boats... but the Turkish are quite competitive in the yacht business 😉

[@MrRawnerves]

Cashew!!!Simply the best!

[@ulrichkristensen4087]

​@@Iam-madThe Med can have very foul weather

[@Iam-mad]

@@ulrichkristensen4087 Oh yes, windy greek islands, Bora or a storm in Bonifacio, entertainig 😉

[@chrisleigh-jones5492]

John , that's another great video! I did see reference to in the comments to FPB "look a like". To fill in some background, the XPM 78 was designed contemporaneously as the FPB 70. There are 18 FPB sailing to various designs and now 14 Artnautica designs. Audi, BMW, take your pick. XPM 78 has been influenced by the sucessful FPB designs and by input from staff who have worked on both plus the ideas promulgated by successful designers such as Nigel Irens and Owen Clark. This is, a new design bringing updated ideas and equipment that did not exist until after FPB ceased production.

[@spacewalktraveller1]

Thanks for the information.

[@gregzoller9003]

I'm glad others have been inspired by the FPB and continued the story. Mr Dashew spent a lifetime accumulating invaluable design knowledge and via imitation, that is being passed on. As wonderful an explorer as the FPBs are, they aren't perfect. I understand that the philosophy is function-over-form, but IMO the form is very sterile and unattractive. Adding a little more style, particularly in the interior, of the FPBs wouldn't have harmed functionality at all. I think boats like this one will certainly correct this oversight.

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

Smart looking explorer yacht. Gotta love the build quality and the hybrid propulsion system too. Nothing better than a John Deer lugger.

[@davidandre8029]

I absolutely love this explorer yacht. The color is very nice too!

[@jpgo]

Thanks for the Video, I can't wait to see more of this Explorer Yacht, Im impress by the size, design and range. I hope to see your next video soon with more details about it.

[@YachtBuoy]

More to come! 🫡

[@Freesavh1776]

Man I love that orange color. This boat is just awesome looking. I can't wait for the walk through showing of this boat. I just love the trawler explorer yachts that are out there.

[@YachtBuoy]

You and me both!

[@nickwatkins5321]

i love that, excellent design and build. Thats going to be such a lovely yqcht to explore on

[@spacewalktraveller1]

That is one great looking boat. I really hope you get onboard for a look.

[@markymark959]

Gorgeous boat

[@YachtBuoy]

Full yacht tour dropping tomorrow (Friday 13th)

[@cocky695]

This does look a awesome boat, look forward to the next instalment.

[@YachtBuoy]

Coming soon!

[@dannyjanolo4601]

❤❤❤

[@aflaz171]

You have to have confidence in the hull and the use of heavier plates where the vessel could be vulnerable. I see that as a well thought out design for an explorer, that has to instil confidence! Can't wait to get onboard.

[@tugceozturk1914]

excellent congratulations

[@lgriestra]

Wow, what a great yacht. I hope you can join the test and bring images to us, as well as from the interior. Thanks!

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Thanks for making this! I've been waiting for some content on this boat! It's the perfect design to cruise home to Australia and then around the Pacicic and SE Asia. Keep up the great work.

[@YachtBuoy]

Glad you like it! Stay tuned for the full yacht tour :-)

[@chiane1968]

Really cool tech on a Dashew inspired design. Also a lot of really precision tech to break in the middle of nowhere.

[@chrisleigh-jones5492]

Breaking tech is a yachting nightmare!. We have taken two approached to this. All critical systems are duplicated and we have installed commercial grade equipment in those locations. For example Wills Ridley steering gear, found on many deep sea trawlers and small war ships, 100% redundancy with twin independent rudder systems. Short of a total disaster we should be good to go.

[@fw1421]

She looks like a rather large chase boat. Nice design.

[@savethehumans7460]

Thanks for the share.

[@YachtBuoy]

You bet

[@tedwong7037]

this looks so much like bering 70

[@chrisbmorningstar]

It's beautiful

[@YachtBuoy]

Great colour too!

[@chrisbmorningstar]

@YachtBuoy yeah I'd definitely go for that colour 👌

[@roycd6950]

i think this is a great boat for long range, small and sleek....

wonderful🎉🎉🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@duckhorn]

is it homage of FPB yacht ?

[@jamesmyatt354]

👍❤️

[@duckhorn]

howmuch is it?

[@marc.wrutgers6704]

Another FPB look a like

[@mrrewog]

Roll stabilizer?

[@CMBCanfield]

Kind of looks like a FPB, doesn’t it?

[@jaimeperezdeprado-bk3ms]

Is possible, going to back from Europe to America???

[@chrisleigh-jones5492]

Yes, certainly is. the range is 5000-7000 NM depending on cruising speed and with 20% reserve. At 10knots you have enough to get out of the way of the weather enroute.

[@clifbradley]

Looks robust and ready to pound some waves

[@srupp9271]

I like the boat but I don't really understand why you would put an expensive paint job like this on an aluminum hull. This will be a pain in the ass forever where you will be upset about every little scratch and that just happens if the owner actually plans to use that boat.

[@chrisleigh-jones5492]

Good point. The problem is fishing boat look meets the owners wife who is an interior designer. The ultimatum was "paint it or I'll not go on her". She got painted.

[@srupp9271]

Kind of had a feeling for something like that@@chrisleigh-jones5492

[@snakeplisskin8696]

It is a lovely craft, ja?

[@mikeb8342]

Instagram? Whatsapp? What's that? 😂 FB & YT are already a drag on my life.
