- A follow up video to the Crick boat show tour and review of Finesse Boats electric powered Wide Beam Yacht "Discovery" named Time of LiFe. This video follows the boat on delivery and taking to the water for the first time on the Thames - and answers viewers questions from part 1
Great vlog and an amazing boat but the price is a killer
What a beautiful boat!
I am obsessed. I want one
i saw it at crick nice boat not practicable on the uk waterways its better suited to France and Holland.
That's the dream boat right there!
Just loving this boat.❤
nice to see the shape and style of the modern narrow and wide bean boat is changing
❤
And I don't know if the corner settee turns into a bed-tgis should be an option and the spare birth with a fold away wall as its a rare use; more space at disposal means more compulsion to fill it and then it becomes an attic not a spare room. Or inconvenience and stress to make it livable. Using the cupboards at the bow is great, fantastic even, but what happens to the space behind that as a triangular shape? This would surely be a perfect spot for easy access controls if not the cockpit. Folding beds would be cool too, as an occasional use thing
Ahhh - thx for getting that audio squared away!
How I wish, I love the blueeee....
Could you install a small fold up Vertical Axis Wind (1 kilowatt) Turbine (VAWT) mounted on the bow.
To provide addition electric recharging, to the wide beam battery energy pack too?
Also can this wide beam, be built fully disabled accessible, yes or no?
Along with can the bow and hull plus stern, be fitted with horizontal wrap around solid rudder (6 inch wide and 6 inch deep) fenders at different heights up the bow and going down each side of the hull and around the stern too.
As well as with one vertical bow solid rudder (12 inch wide and 6 inch deep) fender, plus two stern square corner solid rubber (9 inch wide and 6 inch deep) fenders too.
Maybe three solid rudder (6 inch wide and 6 inch deep) fenders, running along the bottom of the hull from bow to stern.
One down the centreline and one down the port side and one down the starboard side, to protect the hull from either underwater obstacles and obstructions, or going through locks and docking too?
Lastly can this wide beam, be cruise out of river estuary and along coastal waters between river estuary?
Or even cross the English Channel, to Voyager along European inland waterways too?
So can it be fitted with Navigation lights, radar, echo sounder and fish finder, or forward downward sonar too.
Or fitted with FLIR Sensor and satellite phone and modem, plus weather and GPS Receiver linked to a Chartplotter radar and sonar plus FLIR display too.
Lastly Star Link terminal and satellite television and DAB radio dish, plus CB radio system and aerial. As well as marine aviation UFH / VHF radio system and aerial, also terrestrial mobile phone booster antenna too?
What is this wide beams length and width, plus draft and Air Draft too?
Also could one be built short and narrower, or built longer and wider too?
As this wide beam is full electric, what type of battery are used, plus is there automatic electric fire suspension system installed too, or could be installed?
As the wide beam's electric battery energy pack, has it seems 20 to 30 year life span.
So what is the battery annual degradation rate, or lost or recharging rate?
Are there any physical size issues having a boat this size traveling through the canals in England?
With this wide beam canal boat there are restrictions on which canals you can use. There is a split in England. There are northern canals it can use and southern canals it can use. Unfortunately there is no canal which connects the south and north canals. The totally useable canals I think is about 40% of what a tradition narrow boat can use.
I recognise that bridge. How sad am I?
So what was the price of this boat?
If you have to ask... Too much! 😂
£630,000 …how much! For a river boat ! Holy cow
Perhaps too critical but I see panelled walls and ceilings in the likes of caravans, boats and static caravans cheap looking. Van life has found laminated insulation board with glue and fiberglass mesh creates a superiorly strong and cheap and insulated material even rigid against movements with I'm sure enough movement so as not to break if that makes sense. But very strong. What I personally despise about the cheap paneling is it isn't integrated unlike plasterboard. Forget whether plasterboard is applicable in this environment, fact is the pvc connectors show too much and unsightly, not at all discreet. Another point is while it's neat, the linear actuator may have been poorly chosen or cheap. I'm sure there's plenty out there which are both specified for speed and load choices. As the keyboard folds vertical, it'll give space for the TV itself to lower into the cabinet, avoiding obstruction to the surely superfluous window while obstructed? Or a hydraulic piston to ease the TV effortlessly to the ceiling flat out the way. But inside a slightly higher cabinet would be ideal, no compromises but relatively negligible cost; still the floating wall concept and the side legs shouldn't be needed; perhaps it doesn't have 'drawer runners/guides' keeping it coming off the wall and the linear actuator keeping it vertically set. It seems the whole thing is connected just to the cheap plastic/chipboard thin panelling. This is a no-no if applicable
Looks like a tank with little Finesse TBH
