WHERE DO SUPER YACHTS GO IN THE WINTER? (Captain's Vlog 117)

[@koomaj]

Hi Tristan, video tour of that classic boat would be really nice. Could you ask the owner of that boat if it is possible?

[@leesmith8420]

Seeing the yacht in the hangar looks like a kiddies toy from a distance! Another great video Tristan!

[@7166791966]

Awol looks small in the building

[@Maarc-uy3nz]

The classic gentleman’s yacht looks like ‘Taransay’ , built by Rossinavi and launched in 2015. The funnel is actually a crane.

[@falcore3875]

Its amazing to see such a huge vessel on those steel posts.

[@nldmaster]

Glad your owner is getting it ceramic coated. He should be very happy with it!

[@glenmorris8389]

Tristan, don't talk while not facing the camera cos we cant hear you! Love your videos

[@wjhann4836]

On top of Glens speech: all Videos up to now with the hand camera were pretty silent - what's about a microphone either wireless ore wired that you attach to your shirt to get better quality of sound / speech.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

The 'classic' yacht next to you was an extra 'treat' on this VLOG. Good to understand the amount of prep and protective work that goes along with maintenance. The vehicles in the hanger near AWOL help us to have a new sense of the ship's scale.

[@Donald_Shaw]

Tristan, I always enjoy your videos of AWOL and of your wonderful crew.

[@chrish2996]

Hi Tristan and crew. Your an inspiration to me as myself and my twin brother are going for our skippers licence and then hopefully yachtmaster ocean. Hoodie and mug arrived ready for the occasion. Great video. Thanks

[@thomasdaily4363]

Definitely a new replica yacht next to you. Bow thrusters and stabilizers were not standard equipment back in the day.

[@rudideghelt]

Tristan, you did not show the little incident you had when mooring. is it serious for Awol?

[@BillW0330]

I was curious about this as well. Did you fix this after it happened? I think it was a coupl eof months ago.

[@alphaviews4639]

Good question I was wondering the same. I think he would like to forget about it

[@platinumman21]

I was wondering the same thing. I know that it was on the starboard side which is against the wall, so maybe he couldn’t get a good view of it. I would want to forget about it too. Keep up the good work Tristan! I enjoy your videos very much.

[@jjaus]

He definitely showed it. Bumped into another yacht while mooring. Not much damage. Can't remember which vid though.

Looks like a nice place to Winter. Do you get to go to your house or do you stay with the boat the next 6 mos?

[@sunsetsandboats2983]

Great video more like this please.

[@mikemichaeld2259]

six months! wow that is a long time

[@johnfebaines]

Cheaper to keep it in the shed all year and walk to local beach!

[@paulandsueroberts4121]

The boat next to yours is simply stunning.

[@AaronTheHumanist]

Six months dry dock, wow, is that every year or is this special for repairs?

[@rubenboni7702]

Hi Tristan, apparently you stay onboard during this dry dock period. Where do you sleep? The crew quarters or do you occupy one of the luxurious cabins? I hope for you the latter… :-)

[@CheersWarren]

Now I see the bow bulb it's sort of small but normal . 👍👍

[@nbookie]

IKEA does yacht storage? Who knew.

[@JamesAnthony]

The storage is the easy part, wait till your yacht arrives flat packed at your door and you have to use that little Ikea wrench to put it together.

Thanks Tristan, great video, as usual. Looking forward to periodic updates.

[@Fr99763]

Could you show more of this extraordinary yacht next to Awol? Outstandingly beautiful!

[@michaelcorder8561]

Great to see what goes on after the summer season is finished. Thanks for another great vlog.

[@johnnybuss5637]

Tristan, you explain so well, when we hear what you say .. 👍😉

[@patrickabas1112]

This hanger dwarfs the yacht :-( Love the red carpet, it actually does not look that silly :-)

[@Righey]

So you and the crew are living onboard even whilst it’s in storage? That’s crazy! All year onboard the boat?!

[@rubenboni7702]

I also wonder if they live in the crew quarters or that they occupy the master and/or VIP rooms for this period… :-)

[@SpamMouse]

Winter is ideal to allow you to practice talking into the microphone. Maybe ask Santa for a clip-on lapel microphone and radio connection to the camcorder for Christmas.

[@ArtIsNotAlwaysEasy]

Does the rest of the crew stay employed or was their contracts ended and they have to re-sign up?

[@JCrook1028]

AWOL's crew is employed and paid full time year round.

[@ArtIsNotAlwaysEasy]

@@JCrook1028 Thanks for the info. What do they do for those 6 months? Live on the boat, clean, etc?

[@christians.8739]

James Simms there was a vlog a while back about the captain of the chase boat who heads to the Bahamas for the winter, where he has a small charter boat

[@Elfin4]

Could you please explain how does the stabilisers work on the side of the hull and hows you operate them ?

[@marksmith8732]

Im pretty sure they are all automatically driven to adjust for each wave or movement. I think he just turns them on and the system does the rest

[@peterwaugh9416]

It"s an automated system, Here is a video showing how they work kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3W9h6xrgr6cmpI

[@Hokieredneck]

Winter months are my favorite vids...I'm a mechanical engineer.

[@davidfrank2824]

I'm really surprised to hear that you're not going to send both of your props to the shop. I have an exact pair that I keep a board for emergency. Then once a year if I hadn't had to use them they can't put on and no one's coming off both go to the shop just to make sure everything is okay. I think and all the years I have done this with all of my boats there was only one time they did not find anything wrong with them. The problem that you are having with the paint is the number one reason that I upgrade to a new boat. I have had a couple of friends that have had their boat wrap. One of them had it hold up pretty well where the other one had nothing but issues. We teased him all the time and ask him what do you expect when you hire someone from Craigslist to wrap a two-million-dollar boat. Look forward to the rest of your videos over the winter.

[@peterlazuric5641]

Good video looking forward to the future videos on the maintenance for this winter. When you have Yachts that cruise both the Carib and Med , when do they haul out for maintenance ? One thing you should add to your merchandise line are Super Yacht Captain coveralls and wear them while working on AWOL this winter

[@michaelgarlickmovies]

Another great and informative video. I hope that Pisa isn't in an earthquake zone like other areas of Italy. It would be dreadful if AWOL fell of the stands if the ground shakes in an earthquake.

[@homezero]

I'd liked to have seen the transfer process from water to the hanger. That must be a major undertaking.

[@spaceboyrust]

Do you get paid your normal salary when the boat is on dock. And do you live and eat on the boat as well or do you need to go back home.

[@anthonymiller4550]

Tony & Susan here, Looks like a long winter on the hard. Maybe take some time off with your girl my friend.

[@markchip1]

Never mind concerns about weather damage - I'd be more anxious about the chronic effects of prolonged multiple seagull poop deposits on the paint and exterior fitting!

[@ANGSTROMLTD]

Enjoyed this, thank you, Top man. ☺

[@wanderdowndave3778]

I hope the flooding in the Pisa area has not affected you in the hanger.Loving the vids

[@originalfiremancancelled7303]

Wow so you guys do that every single year I would love to see the boat right when you take it out of the water to see what only 6 months does to it I don't know if there's a video out there let me know thanks love boats🚒

[@strongdan1]

Thanks

[@joelonderee2872]

Great video as usual. Only thing missing is our girls!

[@AaronLowe1]

Totally hooked on these Vlogs Tristan, thanks! I have or rather had zero interest in anything on the water not using the wind but dam! I want me youth back to graft on one of these beauts :-D

[@jhenbob5374]

Continue to enjoy your videos. Isn’t it unusual to do this much work on a boat after just having your big refit less then a year ago?

[@mds-lf3kl]

Tristan: what are your feelings about seeing AWOL this way? Are you relieved and happy about the free time in the next months? Or are you always concerned about what could happen while it sits there? Or even sad, because your yacht is kind of „dead“ for half a year?

[@Neptune730]

So is the crew still living on board AWOL while in the hanger? You may have mentioned what the crew is doing but I missed it. Thanks

[@codyx561]

Neptune's Creations nah they don’t live on the yacht lmao

[@robertfrederick9061]

While the chase boat is in its winter "hidey hole" how about slapping on a couple of Seven Marine 527's or 627's for some real "giddy up". The 350's on it now are too common place imho. Go really big.

[@macdchef]

Really interesting video Tris .. must be a bit strange living onboard when your not moving about ..

[@garygenovese9859]

Maybe you could do a tour of the yacht next to you ,compare old to new

[@sannisfl]

I Want to see you enjoying your new Lambo you picked up.

[@Janabelle23not32]

Whenever you turn away from the camera, it is hard to hear you.

[@michaelmccarthy4615]

It's easy to see how 10% of a yachts original cost is spent each year in operations/maintenance....

[@JCrook1028]

at a minimum.

[@gsmith207]

New to channel. This is awesome! I had no idea! Now I do. Thanks Capt’n.! Great channel and content. Love it

[@ralphvanthoff]

Thanks for the walk around. Are you keeping all those carpets for the next winterising to reduce the impact on the environment? They're all made of plastic fibres after all.

[@KMT15]

I never realized large yachts stored away for 6 months. I understand needing to do repairs and maintenance, but is there really 6 months of stuff to do every year?

[@PhilGroene]

No, but if you only do the summer season then you have the time anyway

[@jsunit5354]

With that many systems, I don't think it would be unusual to spend 3-4 months a year just on inspections and PM.

[@chillylizerd]

The sacricial anode is in a cool spot

[@rauldempaire5330]

Awesome looking Yatch!

[@caseybhargraves3696]

That is such a beautiful boat!!

[@xstell132]

Wait, are you guys still living on the boat in the off season??

[@Calta455]

When you dry dock for off season does the costing in the summer season cover this ?

[@Dana-koc]

I wonder why don't you just go to a more tropical location to keep getting passengers. Or is this like a vacation for the crew?

[@christopherbarber9351]

Could you tell us a bit about the bulbous bow and the horizontal strakes on it?

[@GlassByThaddeus]

The thruster anode is shot! If 20% is gone, replace it!

[@tonysolar284]

Real True Yachts go south for the winter.

[@noahdurose31]

Tristan I love your vids but by some new sunglasses 😎.

[@dn52n56]

Hello Tristan, when your in the yard, do you do maintenance on your black dome, receivers\ just forgot the names of them. never seen any one do maintenance on them, even here in my marina.

[@jsunit5354]

Good comment! That equipment should also get PM. The simple act of removing and re-seating connectors will burnish the contact areas and reduce oxidation, however little it may seem, not to mention the benefit of a good visual inspection. Such electronics and comms equipment never fails UNTIL it fails. Preventative maintenance is important.

[@williammills5597]

What’s the security like in the hanger and the harbor? Can you leave the yacht for months and not have to worry about theft?

[@StockholmSpotting.]

1.08 IKEA in The background, I'm from Sweden

[@markchip1]

What was the cause of the prop damage? Cavitation?

[@jhenbob5374]

Enjoying your videos. Tx for the entertainment. Do Yacht charters ever go to the southern n eastern Mediterranean for the winter?

[@simoncousin3241]

The incident on the mooring will be repaired while its in there

[@okumonux]

Talk me through the economics; why doesn't AWOL make any money over the winter cruising the Caribbean or Sardinia? Gonna be sold? Or the owner is setting off running-costs by chartering it out?

[@LordClunk]

With AWOL up for sale, do you guys (the crew) go with the ship, or do you stay with your current boss?

[@Furree_68]

Hi Tristan, How many of the crew still lives / work on the Yacht during off season? And what does the crew that is not on the Yacht do? Do they have vacation or are they working somewhere else?

[@losttribe3001]

What is the expected service life of AWOL for this particular owner? Just kinda curious as to how long people hold on to super yachts. With that asked, I do understand that there are many factors and it’s hard to say.

[@drloppy]

A Lost One I’ve heard AWOL is up for sale, not sure how long the owner has had it for though

[@cs4723]

I think she is for sale, €9M. I'm about €8,999,995 short at the mo

[@losttribe3001]

C S I’ll throw in €10 and we can become partners!

[@seaton66]

Was that damage to the propeller due to cavitation or actual impacts? I know I'm 2yrs late to the party.

[@brianheinemeier2945]

When you are on a travel day are the guests allowed on the sub deck and roam about the boat

[@marksmith8732]

Im betting that storage is some serious money ,why not go to the Caribbean for the season .

[@alittletexasingeorgia]

Do you treat the teak decks in any fashion while it is stored and how do you take care of them other than the usual mopping down?

[@TOM-C.]

See if you can get a tour of the boat next to you in the hanger?

[@wjhann4836]

Hi Tristan, do you have good information about: I appreciate all the work that is scheduled on Awol as worthy and necessary. But - how can all that work be accomplished when a ship is on dual season? All to be done on the carrier while on sea?

[@John_Be]

Tristan, are you going to go with the propeller to the repair shop and film?

[@Nick_G7IZR]

What do you film with just out of interest? I assume a GoPro, but which one? External mic or internal?

[@killerfunghoul3948]

Tristran, could you answer something. I know on a lot of smaller boats there’s zincs bolted to the hull. Does AWOL have them? Just wondering as that bow thruster looked fairly pitted and I assume it’s a zinc cap on it to become like that. Just wondering if and where there’s more.

[@alittletexasingeorgia]

Can you explain the way they are supporting the keel while it is stored? Are there hardpoints or is there a lead ballast all the way from the bow to the stern?

[@Bronwyn031]

Hi Tristan. Enjoying the videos. Why doesn't your superyacht not go to work in the southern hemisphere or to maybe Dubai for winter. Is there no work or contracts to be had? Is it ever taken out of the mediteranean?

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

It’s a discussion that I’ve had multiple times with the owner. For now he only wants to keep it in the Med.
