So just an update from australia- I had to lay off all my crew, so I have a very despondent 14 yr old…I’ve had to deflate the 3.9m takacat and stow it in the truck, just wanting to keep it out of the public/ govt eyes,,and I’ve had to completely remove the 20hp short leg tohatsu as I just can’t afford the fuel,,,30 bucks to fill a 15 litre tank is just absurd, so I have purchased a 54pound thrust water snake and lithium battery- 150amp hour, so that should see me good for a few nautical miles…stay safe people,,,

[@cognitor900]

I reckon you and your crew should surrender yourselves to the ACCC of whichever state you were licensed in….. egalitarian Australia has no sea room for modern day land pirates such as yourselves! Imagine flaunting the 15 litre capacity of the fuel tank AND being able to do the maths correctly for $2.00 per litre…….!!🥲😂

You can determin the time of the foto 6:01 from motoryacht A by looking at the angle of the shadow of the flag pol. Google maps tells us the stern of the vessel is rougly facing ne. Position 48'09.0"N 55°57'12.9"E . The shadow is rougly 45° towards the back and starboard which means the direction of the shadow is n or nnw. This leads to the conclusion the foto was taken at noon or a bit for noon. I would be suprised if it is befor 8:00 am.

I have been temp cheffing on a boat in the Maldives. I worked on the vessel for a year and returned for a 2 weeks temp gig. I ended up staying 6 weeks. The owner is on the “list” and they are not replacing crew when the leave. Im sure a few boats will be down here in the Maldives soon. With only one yacht marina (Crossroads) and very limited capacity, a lack of service options and no real shipyards its not looking like a long term viable place for Russian boats to stay. And its not a great place for finding crew and keeping crew.

Russians like to show off their wealth. They love fancy locations in Europe and expensive Italian brands. There is an element of competition between them as well.

Home in Russia or in beautiful locations all over the world on your yacht?

Wonder what their resale value will be? If they are to be sold off, who has the legal right to do so? and who would be willing to money up to buy them, considering their high maintenance cost.

Dubai is probably the most PR savvy of the Arab Oil states.

I'm not surprised they're trying to create a perception of distance between themselves and sanctioned Russians.

[@corail53]

The UAE are big allies with the west - the USA are literally the reason they are oil rich in the first place and currently the west is looking away from their war in Yemen (forgotten by most but has been running for nearly a decade now) Dubai has horrible PR for it's human rights abuses - no one thinks they are good - they just choose to ignore it. Most people doing business there are looking for the no income tax and running shady businesses. There is also a metric ton of Russian money there as well - also a massive hub for Russian sex trafficking rings. Them doing this was probably done because of pressure from the US.

@Darko • It depends on each seizing country's laws. For example, in the U.S.A., if the yacht were linked to money laundering or drug smuggling, the yachts could be sold off. If they are only seized under the Foreign Assets Control, it depends. Remember, we seized Iranian bank accounts but gave the money back under the JCPOA,(?), which has been roundly criticized by many but it's the U.S.A. law.
