Good to see you back Tristen. The circle portions in the windshield are to keep the rain off. The flag hoisted during fueling is solid red. Hope that I got those right. 🤗 🍷
Im curious about the engines. In my mind, 475hp per an engine seems low for a yacht of this size. Though i would assume plenty of torque to push her while maintaining fuel efficiency.
@pken9814 It's a displacement vessel and does not go on plane. So, it's meant to apply torque for range. Rough guesses with 2 engines at 475 at 31 meters, at 8 to 10 knots cruise range would be 4000 NM. Possibly more depending on the tanks. Nordharven usually performs about the same on their 95 series also with 475. If you want world exploration, displacement is the way to.
The things up on the windows, are basically electrically powered viewing portals with a pane of glass that spins at high speed, so that any rain that lands on them gets flung off, thus allowing you to see out in bad weather, without wipers.
Those spinning windows are also used on CNC machining equipment. Many CNC's utilize a milky-looking coolant fluid sprayed onto the cutting parts and the rapid spinning machinery throws the coolant all over the windows of the CNC machine, making it difficult for the operator to see the work --- the spinning window port offers a clear view inside.
I'm very happy for you, Captain Mortlock. Bravo. That's the flag you'll want. Those things on the windows are neutonium pulse generators which are used to open jump gates once the vessel reaches relativistic speeds.
Really nice that the owner(s) allow you to film. Not everyone would have been up for that, and it's good to see Captain Mortlock back in the wheelhouse!
I have not been on your channel for a long time, but something told me to check you out today. First congratulations on your new command. I believe your new vessel is an explorer yacht and if it is that is great. I remember you saying that you wanted to captain one several videos ago and I am glad that you got your wish. Now for the homework you gave me to do. Thanks a lot.😅😅😅The circles on the bridge windows are Clearview Screens used to see through in heavy rain and seas. It has a glass disk that is heated and rotates to disperse heavy sea spray, rain and snow. Also prevents condensation and icing. The screen is driven by an electric motor. The bunkering flag is the red flag which stands for B.
Good to see you back at the helm Captain. Looks like you will be having plenty of fun on this vessel. Hopefully we will see Giv and your boy during this new adventure
I'm pausing to add a comment after just starting the video; Tristan, when I saw this video pop up I was so excited! Your presence in the YT yachting world has been missed... I followed all your AWOL videos. What a cool craft you have now, with a world-travelling pedigree. Looking forward to this new journey on that beautiful boat!
Proper sea boat, Tristan. It's been awhile since I've seen these spinning windows, but it says a lot for the seagoing nature of this vessel. Look forward to watching your adventures, and by the looks of it you too.
Great to see you so happy and excited. All the best in your new chapter and hope your employers have a great experience from you, the crew and the ship
Congratulations to your new command ! Your smile on the video says everything ! When you left „ Port de Cannes“ for your last trip with „AWOL“ for the transfer to Amerika we missed the departure only 15 minutes , I was very sad because I didn't know at that point that it would be the last trip with AWOL… Great to have you back !!!
Hallo Tristan, congratulation to your new Office. I'm glad to see you again on the bridge of an great vessel. I wish you all the best for your new Command. Greetings from Germany. Jörg
I see people saying the windows are spinner windows, this is obviously wrong. They are clearly modified searchlights to cast the Bat-signal to summon Batman when in distress.
Congrats on your new command! Nice to see you back. The yacht is a beauty. Red flag for bunkering and the window spinner for rain. Like a windshield wiper that spins instead of wipes.
Those round discs spin at great speed thus spinning off spray and rainwater - absolutely essential for a yacht of this size when bad weather hits at sea.
@@SuperYachtCaptain As a matter of interest I am an 81 year old ex Royal Marine whose expertise was as an Amphibious Operations Officer and I also commanded the LC Training Centre at Poole in Dorset in the late '60's and hold a bridge watch keeping Cert for a major RN vessel (the old HMS Bulwark) I have been a keen sailor all my life and followed your earlier series with great interest - so glad you are back!
Quite clear you're back doing what you love, you look like a kid with a new toy (a very expensive one), happy for you and happy for me since I will get to see more of your videos which I love as well. Congratulations.
Ahoy there Captain Tristan! Great to see you back once again, we have really missed your interesting Vlogs, and have been following the Loon Vlogs, which are really good too! The 2 round units on your windscreen are round wipers, but a little tiny, normal wipers are best. Looking forward to your feedback, the new craft looks wonderful. Adios from sunny Spain.
Welcome back. I hope you finally get out of the Med and take us along on different adventures. Hope you and your family are well. From a long time fan.
I never knew I missed that intro until just then. Welcome back to being a super yacht captain once more and all the best in this new change in your life. I look forward to all the interesting things you will be sharing with us.
Welcome back! Cool that the owner allows you to film, thanks for that. It's a clear view screen, bij spinning the circle at hi speed all the water will fly of. Red flag during fuel bunkering i would say.
OMG the Real Captain is Back I'm so Pleased for You Man and she looks a Nice Ship should be fun we can see you also very Happy to be doing this again by your Massive Grin lol thanks and Congrats
It’s so awesome to see you back Captaining a yacht! I missed your videos from when you were on AWOL. I’m excited to explore the seas and your new boat! Cheers!
welcome Back Captain T! Those are centrifugal water shedders to give you visibility in storms so heavy that other methods would work ( ie wipers). Enjoy your new gig! Kind regards, Bob S.
Clear views Captain and the ruler is with your parallel ruler ! But you already knew that ! Congratulations on your new command and look forward to meeting you on your next trip to Western Australia.
nice one.....answers to questions, spins to clear water when in rough seas. so you have a clear view when the rest of the bridge windows are sheeting water. 2nd one is a red flad....
Hope you are enjoying your new ride, she looks pretty sturdy. I hope you get to go further afield. I took delivery of our my new drive last November, currently half-way around the world in Oz. Some fantastic places to go visit in the Pacific you will love it. Currently at home in Marbella for a few weeks before we start the second part of the journey. Regards
It's great to see you back as a captain! I've missed the videos. I hope you continue with including the mechanics and behind the scenes stuff in addition to the actual travels. One of my favorites from AWOL was the tour of the tunnel for all the utilities that ran the entire length. It's the stuff you don't generally see.
Great to see you again, we would fly a red flag when the booze came onboard for a Dunkirk Little Ships Return to Dunkirk. Once when crewing another ADLS ship we had steering problems approaching Oostende, the skipper called ahead to the harbour, while I raised the D/V flags. We had steering via the twin engines so asked to enter the harbour, but were told to wait for a ferry to dock. The ferry captain radioed us to proceeded ahead of him and he would stand off. I confirmed the message and he commented on our signal flag use, he'd never seen a 15m boat use them before. I had a neighbor have his power garden equipment catch fire in the integral garage causing a lot of damage, I wonder what measures you take with Lithium batteries onboard. Thanks for posting and looking foreward to watching many more very interesting vids, stay safe out there.
Great to see you back in the Captains chair! Best of success with the beauty of a yacht. I look forward to your adventures and to learn more about the ship. Oh and the spiny wipers and when bunkering - the Bravo flag (red)
welcome back tristan. kent screens, very good at throwing water off in heavy rain. looking forward to seeing more of the boat. the woodwork in the wheelhouse makes me think we are in for a treat for the rest of the yacht.
Congratulations on this new command, she is an absolute beauty, stunning lines ! And she already has an awesome travel history ! Many more travels to come. For a 2002 boat she is in superb condition and after you put your wish list in there she will be even better. As for the stabilizers, you may want to talk to CMC with their electric fins. When you were onboard our boat we did not have stabilizers, put them on last year and they are awesome. Work basically 24 hours per day, always ready to intervene and use basically no electricity at all (since they adjust themselves to what is needed). We use them underway, on anchor and even in port. The minimal electricity draw makes it possible to run them off our solar panels (which we did not have when you were onboard) and our battery bank. Minimal maintenance, don't take up a lot of space and after 1 year of 24/7 usage we have had no failures whatsoever. Having them as a add on to your existing Naiads would make your journeys so much more pleasant. We did Corfu to Turkey and now Turkey back to Croatia, would not want to be without them anymore. Safe travels and we will follow you on your journey. 👍
Congrats Tristin on your new command! Beautiful Yacht! The windows have fans to keep the windows clear no matter the seas and work better than the windscreen wipers. Looking forward to your new adventures!
Congratulations! Welcome to the world of serious yachting! (as opposed to the great AWOL which is an entirely different sort of yachting/boutique hotel fun). Looking forward to following along on your new adventures, well done Captain!
We had those on MS Nordwind, where I was a deckhand in 1963/64, as a 14 year old. Celebrated my 15th birthday on the way to Argentina.. Was a long time ago. Love your vids

Welcome back when was the last refit and what was done to engines as you said its done a few moles so thay will be or are knackered out by now
Its a elctric window when its raining you can start it and you have clean site, its going around fast

@@KSSilenceAU 💯 🙌
Especially in severe weather or heavy rain, those spin windows work better than wipers.
In the UK, they're often referred to as "Kent" screens after the name of the manufacturer.
Those spinning windows are also used on CNC machining equipment. Many CNC's utilize a milky-looking coolant fluid sprayed onto the cutting parts and the rapid spinning machinery throws the coolant all over the windows of the CNC machine, making it difficult for the operator to see the work --- the spinning window port offers a clear view inside.
Yup, I was going to comment the same, but you beat me to it. 🙂
Your smile speaks volumes about your new command…congratulations
Yep, I can most definitely go along with that. Totally cool and wicked.😁
Fantastic to see you back where you belong. Welcome back Captain Mortlock.

Nice one, Tristan is great to see you back in command of such a cool yacht. A raft-up is needed before the end of the summer 🛥🛥🥂
Thanks Captain Paul and Loon team. Certainly looking forward to crossing paths again and a few more video collaborations
I'm watching this video right after watching @motoryachtloons part 3 of Atlantic Crossing. Dylan did great.
Happy to see you again as captain. From the Netherlands we say ‘Ahoy and goede vaart!’ Stay safe.
