Great to see another video from you! I had been concerned because you weren't on your regular schedule. (Maybe it was withdrawals.) As always, I enjoyed this video and am looking forward to your next one.
I love this segment of your work. The insights in the actual building excites me a lot more than looking at the fished product, although I must say I also like that. But the in-depth details of the construction/build will give you/the client much more information and trust on and in the final product.
I think this just shows how advance our knowledge and technology in building boats where we can predict precisely how the materials will perform or sustain under the conditions.... amazing. I mean they just bought two 40MXP based on a drawing and it's specs.. ('cause usually shipyard build it first and speculate there will be a buyer.. eventually).. awesome
Thanks for your comment Frederik. The 40 MXP is based on the same platform as the 37 XP, so buyers will have a good idea of what they are getting - and you're right, it's incredible how technology has advanced so that many of the risks of a new model are eliminated.
The problem with composite hull boats is when they get wet in and around the bilges the fiberglass gets soft and weak and absorbs more water so gets heavier, so the Hull gets weak
sir, I wouldn't worry about condense issue or frequency/noise problem. Because, what a yacht attracts customer/money is its luxury appearance. That's all. Of course, customer will find out all those problems later (after the sale) but it is too late. This is the business.
So, um... in the motor yacht industry there are standardized international terminologies, "fitting out" is not one of them. i don't even know what fitting out means... If you are referring to installing components you are commissioning the boat, if you're talking about installing customer ordered accessories you are rigging the boat. Not to be confused with any sailing vessel terminologies.
Exploring the Med? Please. It's been explored enough. If you are building an explorer, build it for actual Exploring and not beebopping down the Med to Croatia and then to Greece. Heavens to Betsy..how treacherous. This really makes me choose Bering or Van DerWalk over Numarine. Plus I met the marketing guy at Flibs. Told him I loved his yachts and his video with you. He muttered a 'thank you' and walked away. I wanted a picture and that was a hard no There is a thing called NVH in cars. Noise , Vibration and Harshness. They've started doing that on yachts now.
This is probably going to be the weirdest criticism ever, but what did you do with your sound? Every bit of it sounded like a voiceover. It was a bit strange during the "Hull in a Car Park" segment, but it was very jarring during the "Changes to the Design" segment. It felt like you'd carefully redubbed the entire segment using a studio mic and sound booth. You ride a very fine line with your videos. You personally act classy enough that I can imagine rich yacht buyers treating you as an equal. Yet you're personable enough and speak directly at the audience so that poors like me think "Yeah, that David guy is a good bloke." I think that cutting out all the other sound and processing the audio so much that it sounded like it came from a studio took away from the "David is taking me on a personal tour of this boatyard." It put an artificial barrier between us. This is particularly strange because I think your biggest strength is that you make your viewers feel like you're speaking to us very personally.
Thanks Sean. My team in Monaco were talking amongst themselves in Russian, and when I read your comment to them they started laughing because they were saying exactly the same thing! Always space for improvement!
The steel hull is the best part; the layers of highly combustable fibreglass, glues, epoxy's, gelcoats, caulkings, resins, alkyd/oil paints, etc etc all add up to spell a slow "building sickness"...an atmosphere in which humans are breathing all that shit not only during the construction phases, but especially after completion while cruising the high seas, without really paying attention to it...blissfully and uncaringly unaware. Plus....and this is a big one, when/if all that shit ignites, it's practically an instantaneous infernal ...a pure living hell of gaseous fire that will kill you before the flames even reach you seconds later. Now, if none of that, GOD forbid, doesn't happen, then what the fuck do you do with all that crap after that massive hunk of expensive shit has maxed out on its shelf life...? how do you dispose of it ....recycle it??? I don't think so. It will of course, just get thrown out into Mother Nature, just like it always does. Sickening.
Damn dude, the 'shelf life' is about 50 years. Plus the owners aren't breathing anything, They offgas everything and they cover it up. So no breathing in anything. I get it, but if this sets you off, maybe don't watch
This video has an incredible amount of interesting details in the video, and narration.
Thank you very much!
Nice to be back Sir , I enjoy watching your video.
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy watching the different techniques each Yacht builder does. 👍
An unbelievable amount of time just to design each one.
Cool Video !!!
Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed it!
I’ll probably never be able to afford a mega yacht (still trying!!) but if I do, David will be my first guest!
I look forward to it!
On a side note: David said in a video he wanted to lose weight - nailed it! Looks good!
Great to see another video from you! I had been concerned because you weren't on your regular schedule. (Maybe it was withdrawals.) As always, I enjoyed this video and am looking forward to your next one.
Thanks great video. Numarine appears to be very successful and competent, two traits that do not always appear together in yacht builders.
Thank you so much. Good detailed material. I was looking for information to keep the Numarine 30 on my shortlist.

I'd still choose a Bering yacht over this
Would you kindly tell them there Union Jack flying on there main pole is upside down ,thankyou.

I know you have 3 hours of footage can we get 1 one hour video shipyards to me are better than the finished product

You should be proud telling those who don’t care what the rules are👍
Thanks for your correction - I'll be sure to tell the scores of yacht builders I deal with that they are using the wrong terminology.
@@yachtbuilders That's probably a good idea. It's 'commissioning'. Outfitting might be a more appropriate term for specific use rigging

Nice yachts. Seems like the richest are doing quite well, thanks to the ruin of the 99%.
You’re a man. Quit whining.
