Mark Zuckerberg's 118m/ 387’2” Launchpad: the launch video

Feadship launched Mark Zuckerberg's Launchpad (ex Project 1010) at their shipyard today.
The preparations for the launch of Feadship's largest yacht to date started already yesterday as the draft of the yacht was to much to pass Lake IJsselmeer for her fitting out destination in Amsterdam. Once the 118m/ 387'2" yacht got an extra lift of 1 meter/ 3ft via air pockets and the assisted sheerleg, the 118m/ 387’2” yacht left Makkum for Amsterdam today. Footage by The Nautical Lady & Dutch Yachting.

Thank you Albert. yes, it looks like a tiny spaceship. Funny, isn't it?

[@ago7212]

Wow, what a beautiful ship! I've read posts about the owners being wasteful and careless to the environment by building this ship and those complaints are justified. On the flip side, there really is a trickle down effect to the companies and employees who build these ships and yachts. I'm a building contractor and we have similar clients who have large homes built as well. If it wasn't for them, we would have far less work, since during tough economic times, they are virtually recession proof due to their vast wealth. Props to the craftsmen and women who built this beauty! The owner can now enjoy paying the huge overhead required to maintain this beast😂

[@dorothygale1104]

If maintenance costs weee an issue then one cannot really afford such a toy.

HOLY COW BATMAN!! ♥️♥️♥️💯

[@taridean]

What's with the craddle/straps rig at the aft of the yacht?

[@truthseeker2321]

The water is too shallow, and it had to be lifted up to move it to deeper water.

[@taridean]

@@truthseeker2321 thanks for clarifying that. I had assumed it's something to do with the yacht's draft & water depth but wasn't too sure. What was baffling me was why the aft end required that rig where the keel usually slopes upwards towards the transom. Would I be correct in thinking the current engine room weight would make it sit deeper aft until they've completed fitting everything?

[@truthseeker2321]

@@taridean You're welcome! In the description, it also says that airpockets were also used, likely under the hull towards the front.

[@dieseldog00]

@@taridean Also, that boat will likely have to anchor outside a port and use tenders to dock inside.

[@dorothygale1104]

@@dieseldog00 This vessel will have no problem docking at any major port as it is not nearly the longest of biggest motor yacht in the world. Check out videos for MY’s Azzam (the longest at 180 meters) and Dilbar (the largest (15,917 gross tonnes). FYI - gross tonnage to yachts is what square footage is to homes.

[@williamdrijver4141]

Excellent video editing! On Twitter I noticed the name Katyusha? Dark blue hull color looks good. The round structure on top might be an observation lounge?

[@albertmyers7176]

William, think it could be a space ship lol

[@dorothygale1104]

Dark hulls look great (IMO) but they are a nightmare for the crew to keep clean looking, as is the vase for dark colored cars.

[@wolfgangpohlmann5952]

Nice vessel. Would have loved to know who the designer was. Maybe you inquire at Feadship and put the info in the video next time.

[@Tipp_Of_The_Mitt]

Interesting on how they used the crane barge and floats to help raise it out of the water.

[@paulsuprono7225]

I was wondering what that contraption controlled ! 😬

[@Pilotc180]

Nice little boat

[@davidkennedy8929]

Is yours bigger?

[@pluss400]

Is it broken before it even leaves the dock, a crane has to lift the stern???

[@dieseldog00]

I see why Feadship needed that much hangar length to build it. Good grief what a monster!!! I remember when Feadship was building 100 footers now they're almost to 400'!! I wonder why they had to raise the stern?? Was the draft too deep for that canal? Hoping for a walkthrough soon!!

[@dorothygale1104]

Impressive, bit not nearly as large as some of the monster vessels that Lürssen has built, with MY Azzam being the longest at 180 meters.

[@truthseeker2321]

Who's the lucky owner?

[@eh288]

The "perfect storm" would sink that faster than the Titanic!

[@alfreddaniels3817]

The craftsmanship of the people that work for Feadship is outstanding, but for the new owner? I am proud of a man who builds his own boat and loves to sail it.

[@yerrie1908]

Why does the ship needs to be lifted from the back? haven't seen that before (that doesn't mean lot to be honest)

[@gewema-makkum]

It's shallow water at the moment in the big lake .. IJsselmeer. Summer Time and not many rainwater from the big rivers....so it needs lifting from my home town Makkum.. Feadship.. to Amsterdam..locks there..

FYI - It is nit nearly the lingest yacht in the world. MY Azzam, built by Lürrsen is almost 70 meters linger at 180 meters. I recommend searching for Azzam on YT.

The design is alright. I’m sure there are plenty of amazing features we couldn’t see from this video but am I the only one who doesn’t like the profile. The front half is good Pretty standard. The aft portion is unique and intriguing. The middle Loses me with those weird waves. What is that dark nest thing on the top? Looks like a man bun up there. Is this a radical new skylounge designed perhaps?

I have been a shipwigth for 48 years , I never understood how a 0.001% portion of our population can pollute a million time more the air we all breath equally and get away with it and we the little people cannot drive our car because is not up to new regulations concerning pollution .

[@pimdoeswijk]

I don't quite understand what you mean I guess. As far as I am concerned everyone can drive a car as long as they are able to pay for it. Same goes for the 'big guys', they can drive their boats as long as they pay for it (this includes huge ammounts of taxes as well), and trust me, yacht owners contribute a lot more in taxes than the 'little people' do
