Mega Sailing Yacht "A" (Docking) [4K]

[@michaeldublg]

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!!

[@michaelschneider-]

+1. .. That's one impressive sailing ship. .. Wow, wow. .. Consider the amount of engineering? .. The aesthetic is an acquired taste. .. Man O man, that's someone's creation! .. Good for them, they built what they wanted. .. If the ship were mine... I'd never step foot on land again. .. "Captain! once more around the globe, again." .. Cheers, Vail, Colorado

[@ph5056]

I would like to see the interior, what its like looking out from the almost hidden windows

[@huisbaasbob3709]

Probably a ''adult only'' club

[@gregster4994]

It looks like they accidentally threw out the sailboat, and kept the box it came in.

[@victorvandyke9898]

Just a magnificent monument of excess!

[@hellraiser436]

Or a magnificent monolith of ugliness

[@onethousandtwonortheast8848]

B H I disagree. It is a timeless classic. It will be the same tomorrow and in 100 years. It truly is an amalgamation of ideas that rejects definition; it’s a paradigm unto itself. Art.

[@parajacks4]

@@onethousandtwonortheast8848 I was working on super yachts, that “A” is a somewhat ridiculous sailing yacht and a functioning work of art. It’s also a symbol of gross inequality, a huge cancer on society.

[@onethousandtwonortheast8848]

parajacks4 Anything can be seen as a symbol and anything can be defined as anything because we live in a time where definitions are fluid. I respect your viewpoint. The coming revolution will usher in a new paradigm. Perhaps inequality will be done away with. Pripyat was a wonderful place at one time.

[@parajacks4]

@@onethousandtwonortheast8848 It’s important to remember the distinction between gross inequality and inequality. The first is grossly unfair and an ugly, destructive, cancer on society, but complaining about the second can lead to communism. I’m no communist. I fear extremes, under regulated capitalism is as destructive as communism is.

[@NoGoodHandlesComingToMind]

I actually really like it; congratulations to the owner for commissioning his dream.

[@TheNefastor]

It's growing on me.

[@loon356]

I love the sinister look! Very me!

[@chuckclark6162]

Looks too much like Jabba the Huts barge. Anyone?

[@nothsim]

Chuck Clark at 1000 times the cost.

[@barrywilliams7904]

Lol. Yep😂

[@MrSubmariner13]

I'd have fun on his barge. This thing?.......

[@2bitrasputin793]

What's it carrying? The CIA's shippment of Heroin from Afghanistan to the EU? It looks a little top heavy for a sailing vessel.

[@karandev01]

It's 7 decks tall sooooo

[@dougharlow6037]

I would love to see the inside and with the sails up. Very impressive. Thanks

[@alainportant6412]

You may get a chance to see the inside, that thing has been impounded by the Italian police. Mere mortals are already getting to see the inside of it, which would have been absolutely unthinkable before the war.

[@alainportant6412]

So there are probably leaked pictures taken by these cops, I don't speak italian but I'm going to look for that

[@NoctilucentStudios]

Hands down one of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL objects ever created. I feel sorry for those of you that can't see the beauty in this design.

[@chuckclark6162]

Oh yes, please have pity on the "tastless" among us. How will we go on? Inspired design, yes. Beautiful, doesn't matter, I'm not the buyer.

[@PatHaskell]

I agree, it is gorgeous! I would love to see more.

[@chrisk8187]

I like it! It doesn't put me to sleep as the typical yacht, big or small, does.

[@DJEDzTV]

How can you dislike this design?! Mixture of Old & New, I think this is the coolest one I've seen..

[@wmurnahan]

What are you seeing that is old/traditional in this design?

[@normasnockers323]

What a stunning boat. Totally mind blowing . Way ahead of its time.

[@felixniederhauser7799]

Looks like a floating high security prison.

[@mikikiki9468]

🤷🏾‍♀️

[@TheNefastor]

Good concept for a novel.

[@zootsootful]

That's what it'd be, were it not for the fact that it's designed to keep people OUT.

[@aaronstandingbear]

@@zootsootful And big waves

[@alainportant6412]

You mean it's the australian navy 😂

[@allyouneedis4x4]

Most beautiful Yacht I ever seen!

[@loon356]

I have to agree. I'm not into yachts but this is the only yacht I've been googling for a fair while. Sinister looking but fascinating!

[@admindadipancar5494]

a stealth Destoyer ship with sails?

[@clubmidnightsun]

Impressive. I have seen this yacht twice. Once at the southern coast of Spain 2018 and once in the Caribbean 2019. Film can't do it justice. It is sleek and yet menacing. I like it.

[@PieterBreda]

It looks a James Bond ubervilain yacht

[@kladc]

i think it looks really kool

[@skyak4493]

Yes! That's what they were going for.

[@gerhardrinkens2115]

I have seen so many videos of this yacht and never with the sails out.... does this yacht actually work with the sails or is it that the masts are just for looks..... too bad I think...

[@tadficuscactus]

How fast can it sail?

[@panosp94]

It matters little how we see it individually, it certainly is a new territory in design and boat engineering....I’m sure it contains quite some innovations, either in terms of construction, or plain operation or sailing....quite a feat!

[@chrisk8187]

Absolutely! It's not "mac-n-cheese" (I love mac-n-cheese) AGAIN?

[@avantetoda]

Me aparece un autentica obra de arte, revolucionario por sus formas, un gran diseño, habra que verlo con viento y con las velas desplegadas...

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Lo cierto es que en vivo gana bastante.

[@PatrickOSullivanAUS]

I don't know why people think it's ugly, I think it's great.

[@dmcalut]

Because it really is very ugly and you really have very bad taste. But, hey, if you like it just buy it.

[@chrisk8187]

I also like it a lot! Sailing "sculpture", very unique and challenging shape. It makes one actually look at it and consider it's design rather than just assume it.

[@kniefi]

In my opinion an absolutely magnificent piece of design and engineering - time-less flowing lines combined with a futuristic shape. Just wow!

[@pyalot]

The beautyful combination of too much money and too little taste.

[@kilimli8824]

Too little taste? For me this is not just in the sea vessels field but overall one of the most delicious designs

[@onethousandtwonortheast8848]

Testo Bilge Kilimli agreed

[@tfleiter]

Think about the design what you want but the technology on this boat is amazing: the masts are freestanding and rotating....and loads that those huge sails generate must be enormous. Definite unique invert aspect.

[@rickb9238]

Sailing yacht, I saw what appeared to be masts but nary a sail in site. Who owns this beast?

[@Incognito-vc9wj]

Looks ominous. I like the overall privacy especially on the front deck.

[@imnotaweeb8935]

its both ugly and impressive

[@efoxxok7478]

Naw, just ugly

[@Rex-du2hq]

It is impressively ugly!

[@Κανένας-τ1γ]

Comic figures, thats Ugly!

[@michaelfrench5252]

I've seen nicer looking Thames barges.

[@tonypasma1707]

hello

[@pkane5472]

It looks like the skippers vision is seriously impaired to the port & starboard

[@bruceevennett4363]

What is it? Looks like from the movie "HOME"

[@MrBenjaminkruegereu]

I personally love the design and offered functionality.

[@DrBroncanuus]

such a break taking sight seeing this behemoth glide through the water but with no windows...how do you enjoy the sea views ?

[@bnuttsgee]

I love the look of no windows and the shape of this yacht .The slight curve of its masts are beautiful.

[@chrisk8187]

SEE! That's observing!

[@SuperIwatch]

This sailing ship will actually pop sails and sail around right? Got any video of that?

[@bruceevennett4363]

Looks incomplete, half missing?

[@baileyhowe2739]

The first time i saw this when it first hit the water it took my breath away its so beautifully designed

[@marcelomackenzie7558]

¿Quién es el Skipper? ¿Terminator?

[@markduncan6690]

There isn’t any room for the crew! Where does the owner put his feet up?

[@freddy7700]

I would like to see it's sailing skills.

[@PoppinPortraits]

Is that an Adrian Newey design?

[@johnnya9001]

I wonder what the stability curves look like.

[@General_Crock]

I wonder what her PHRF rating is.

[@Atalaclys]

Slightly better than Vasa's. (Or perhaps worse? Hmm..( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

[@bekeneel]

Lol why the fuck would you wonder about that?

[@jrcrawford4]

It would look better with tie-fighters comin' out o' one o' them launch bays along her side.

[@wmurnahan]

Wow, 50 to 75 million a year just to operate and maintain. While millions starve.

[@turdferguson74]

Is that Doctor evils boat

[@davewoodsford7930]

Do they ever use the sails

[@LordLauderdale]

Fantastic piece of kit

[@Orkunmovic]

Where can i buy this? :p

[@Atalaclys]

Excellent video, mucos gracias.. About the yacht itself..Oh, well..

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Thanks!

[@JasmineLindros]

I've seen loaded garbage barges off Brooklyn that looked far more beautiful than this ... thing.

[@TheNefastor]

Cool, you can have them. I'd rather have the sci-fi sailboat.

[@36CHOSENONE]

im with this guy^

[@jaybrown3341]

Can they see out,but we can see in?...if so,that's a clever trick...if not...why?

[@therealborischang]

[@manuelverger1475]

Thanks You Javier for that video

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Thanks!

[@elvinbertcorvera1884]

Haven't seen this one actually drop its sail and sail? Sorry for my bad English.

[@norrispalmer3250]

Just gotta ask...."Why?"

[@victordigiorgi]

It's just an anti-pirates ship. An hard to climb on ...

[@kfsowner1]

May be true, but if pirates can get onto much higher commercial cargo vessels, this spectacularly UGLY "dingy", shouldn't be too formidable, for them...Oh Well, whatever "melts ya butter!"

[@bradscottbutler]

Interesting design. Would love to see interior.

[@dm55]

does it have sails?

[@richardfancher7524]

It looks like it is covered with shrink-wrap.

[@puritan75]

este es el mejor vídeo que se le a realizado a este barco

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Gracias, lastima que el fuerte viento mueva algo la imagen.

[@prayfawind]

looks military , any documentary of the building of it?

[@WonderlandUnited]

At 5:18 you can see the owner Andrey Melnichenko standing with some other crew. The gentleman wearing white shirt and a jacket with "A" on his jacket.

[@keithnoneya]

That is one of the weirdest ships I've ever seen. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya

[@alanpoh2879]

you are too kind... we know you meant ugly : )

[@glorious_help]

wow... what a stunning machine

[@Cyba_IT]

Well, it's certainly different. Looks like it's missing a few guns but I suppose they pop out of a porthole somewhere :p

[@mikewalker2613]

I want to see the sails up. I like the shape and lines. It must be amazing to be under way in this ship. I wish I could take my family on this ship or the Maltese falcon .

[@charlesharper2357]

Obviously you don't value your family.

[@Andrew279144]

Anyone know why it's flying a red ensign?

[@JavierRullanRuano]

Malta

[@shem6517]

It looks like a clothes iron.

[@kkreicker1]

I dont understand why you would want to hid all if the windows. Makes A look like a block of cheese

[@tuan305]

William Kreicker it's because it was designed by a Frenchman.

[@tuan305]

They do have windows it's just blended in with the color of the boat

[@philippepetit3105]

sure of that cause we have a lot of nice boats in france and good sailors also but i agree we have stupid designers too

[@philippepetit3105]

where are you from mr tuan305 ?

maybe aerodynamics?lmao extra protection from putins Spetnaz lolol

[@miket9193]

[@bierstick]

Interested to know: was it designed for anything in particular, with that unique form?

[@mclovin583]

....Sailing.

[@zuhairzainal]

of all the big ones, this is by far the best one ive seen.

[@chrisk8187]

Exactly! Not just "the same old, same old"! Out of the box.......!

[@yves3560]

I saw it in Cartagena, docked on that spot. NO WAY to get near it. You have to enter the shipyard and that is, of course, restricted area. The only way to admire it was from the opposite side of the bay. Very impressive indeed, even from a distance.

[@reynoutdecourt7983]

Admire?! Ugly as fuck!!!!

[@reynoutdecourt7983]

Admire?! Ugly to the max!

[@chrisk8187]

I admire and appreciate bold edginess and the nauticaly suitable shape for it's purpose. Now if sea worthiness was an issue, then that's an aspect that would determine it's validity.

[@skrobotov]

I can't imagine how much space is inside this vessel, it must be like a mid sized shopping mall

[@Horologiist]

Der Eimer sieht aus wie ein überdimensionaler Wasserkocher.

[@lizsteeds6697]

I bet a dodgy fucking Russian gangster oligarch owns this ... so much money ... such execrable indulgence. Funny how you don't see hideous excess like this from say Bill and Melinda Gates. Different priorities I guess ... different level of intellect too I would imagine. Another of Trumps capitalist pig peer group at the trough ... I bet this dude has Putin on speed dial too ...

[@casualonemmo-player2167]

it looks very badass. Very. I dont know how they "view" to the sides, maybe using multiple videocameras i assume. And what are all those things / ovals on the sides... looks like possible windows.. but with "covers on." Lots of privacy :p But doesnt seem to be a lot of irl views to be had by the people inside (if they want to look out), unless im missing something.

[@joachimsudergat3924]

That is with big distance to all other sailing ships the ugliest ship on this planet. Do not use drugs kids, that is one of the results if you do it. The perfect example for wasting natural resource.

[@kniefi]

See and this is why different people have different taste! I looked at it for the first time and was in awe, as how futuristic, streamlined, conceiling and harmonic the design was. In my opinion an absolute masterpiece - creating flowing lines and sides swept back in a way it seems to be tilted towards it's own front. The elegant way of hiding away it's many main features and providing both safety and discretion for the owner is very pleasing on the eye.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

@@kniefi people can have different opinions about most things, but this is just objectively a horribly design. In form and function.

[@Peizxcv]

Amazing ship but I feel the sails will take up a lot of deck and internal space.
