    Back in '69' on arriving in Monaco, where Malahne was based, my mate John and I ended up as crew members after traveling around Europe for months in our mini van, she was owned then by Sam Spiegel of Columbia Films, Great times , lots of fun good food , wine and Girl's , she was a lovely Yacht , crewing on her was one of the best times in our travels, Great crew from 1st mate down , Fantastic memories of all the people we met ' La Chatham.' better known as Rosie's Bar , was the place to meet all your friends, still remember them all.

      I respect your take of it and totally agree that she's very classy and carries her size with immense dignity. Though, I don't agree that the newer yachts are inherently unclassy. There's a valid interest in claiming products of the latest and most exploratory design concepts. Personally, as someone who's interested in both kitsch art and modern architecture, I don't like all the new designs, but still can appreciate even the most aggressive deviations from classical designs, e.g; MY and SY "A."

    I just love the older style yachts Malahne has very similar line to Blue Bird the ex Sir Malcomb Campbell yacht which I had the pleasure to go on board several time. She has also had a recent refit by her new owners who are part of the Getty family.
    I owned a small 10m wooden family motor cruise that was built in 1930 and also went to Dunkirk in 1940 and then saw service in the Royal Navy. She was on The Thames Estuary mine patrol. I kept her for 15 years and sold her in 2010, now sadly missed but needs must. Do check out other Dunkirk Little Ship on the ADLS web channel.

    Beautiful yacht... love the old ones.
    I am guilty of dropping the line in the drink too.
    My Scottish grandfather was a retired Merchant Master [following WW2] and he was very picky about wet lines on his private boat. He usually ran a small crew, being a Scotsman! As I was about 13 yrs at the time, and agile if I came along I always helped out being the last handling the lines, then scampering aboard. Well one day we were going out for a day out so so docked Portside with Stern-out , yes as the gangway was on the side, and lots of tide in the area. I undid the stern lines throwing them up over the rails on the deck... then the final forward line did not quite make it and I reached to catch it before it hit the water. I got it just with my hand and arm down to pick up the line, down between the wooden floating dock and the hull. Being impatient to get going he had begun walking the stern out from the dock, and I was slow getting my hand up before the hull touched the dock... not real hard but even a gentle rolling push from a 100 ton boat was easily hard enough to break my forearm... in a crushing action... it contused the skin between my radius bone and the dock where I could see the bone... instant agonizing pain... not one drop of blood! Now with my grandfather you did not do stupid things... and get yourself hurt... so I held back my screams. Luckily the wound was just above the wrist below the sleeve, as it pulled up when I had stretched down to grab the line, on my favorite orange anorak saving it. But now I was in agony and after the hull rolled over and off I pulled the hand up grabbed the edge of the dock and pulled to make sure the bone was straight... which I could check in the opening... just little crack showing after that in the bone. Pulled the sleeve over it and then of course the gang was not down and I had to jump and pull myself up mainly one handed. The wound was clean and I got some alcohol poured over it. Covered it up all day... in intense agony. Got a bitch about the wet rope... and deck but managed to dry it off. My arm swoll up tight into the jacket sleeve which sort of formed a tensile fabric structure acting as a splint. This is like 5 am just as dawn was coming up. Spent the day out but he came back in about 3PM or so he could get a nap before dinner. As soon as we got back my mom took me to the doctor and he x-rayed and determined it set very well .... thank heavens. He told mom, he could not really cast or splint that as it is too swollen... but it is together very close almost like a crack and I'd be in so much pain and not move it. In a 4 days it was as predicted well started knitted together, so it was not set or cast... . So with that some antiseptic and a bandaid over the wound, got released. Yes, for the next week it was so intensely painful, just very gradually simmering down, and I kept it straight setting it carefully to rest on any flat surface I could. Later after dinner my mother let him have it... he said, "I never knew, he said nothing!"
    But this is the thing, the dropped wet line on deck was not to be tolerated happily. No matter, if I could have prevented it with a broken arm probably would try, again!

    -I myself work in a bank. One client founded his own small company, earned $ 50,000 in one year, and bought a new Porsche Panamera car worth $ 100,000 on credit. In fact, he spent all his money and took a loan from a bank to buy an expensive car.
    -Another client`s financial condition was estimated at $ 2 million, he was 50 years old and refused to buy a new iPhone because he thought that $ 700 for a smartphone was too expensive.
    Do you have any examples of strange behaviors of rich people?

    5:49 WOW one of those two crews are a bunch of amateurs..."has to untangle the line as the neighbouring boat's line is also on the cleat." There are no acceptable reasons for this to happen; it means you don't know what you're doing. When a line is already on a cleat you pass the eye of your line up through and put it over the cleat, that way either vessel can slip easily with no problems. Regardless of which crew was responsible for such poor seamanship, the mate should have seen this and had it corrected.

    It’s comical to me that the wealthy of today think you need a mini cruise ship to enjoy life more than you could in this grand old lady. Money for many makes them think bigger is better when in fact it’s class, style and heritage that is what matters.

    I love the care the crew take - not banging the gangway against the hull as they bring it on board, not getting the ropes salty wet (almost). What a beautiful boat and video. Thanks!

    As the ultimate contrast, if you are ever in Egypt, pop over to Luxur and see the 100s of boats moored up there due to lack of tourists. There is the wooden steamer from Death of the Nile, old and new Darabihyas, the National Ferry (which I steered across the Nile once) plus all kinds of craft commercial and other. On the walls of Hapshepsut's temple there are depictions of ancient boats/ships used on the Red Sea, we know this because of the pictures of the fish underneath. In antiquity, wooden ships would be dismantled on the Red Sea Port of El Quseir portered via the Wadi Hammamat across the desert, reassembled in the Nile at Luxor and sailed down to Cairo and the Med. In ancient Egyptian history they recount journeys lasting 4 years, which will take them way past Aden. This boat reminded me of boats on the Nile.

    Great video as always, I asked you this in a previous video about the extra bow lines, do you know what the type of connection to the harbor bottom is, do they just tied onto a ring sunk into a cement block or do they use a shackle to a bight type rope similar to a docking line?

    I had this dream in my head:
    I want to build a custom 25m luxury yacht. If I would build it in europe with Vripack or Feadship it would be extremly luxurious and extremly expensive. But what if I only want to have around 6 kts of cruise speed and a 500nm range. And only basic furniture inside (Ikea for example). I do not need all these luxuries to feel cozy. And I could build it in a shipyard in Africa ore Asia. Would it be less expensive?
    Thank you for your help :)

    I worked on this Yacht for Sam Spiegel in 1978 .It was the best time ever for a 19 year old ! ,super hedonistic and very decadent. . We used to go out and tie one on with the Crew of the Calypso and have competitions picking up girls. ( we used to tie one on every day )The Yacht docked next to us was the Atlantis , the biggest private yacht in the world then at 365 feet owned by Stavros Niarchos and crewed by the Greek Navy ... Everything was kicking off in the South of France in those days. It was all disco the Bee Gees, Robert Stigwood, Donna Summer ...Blake Edwards filming the pink Panther. we had Bianca Jagger and Brigitte Bardot and the Kennedy's on board .and I had pals working on Harold Robbins and Norman Wisdoms boat. I even met Ringo in the Loews Casino !. If you worked for Speigel you could get in anywhere in Monaco just by dropping his name ( I was told he was godfather to one of princess Graces children ).. We always went to San Tropez and he insisted docking along side rather than stern in . We used to have to do gangway watches there to stop tourists just walking on board ( it didn't happen in Monaco).We went to Italy and moored right outside St Marks Square. Nearly got arrested in Yugoslavia for entering a military zone . The crew were really rough and ready and would take on anyone who gave them trouble but they were great lads and all great at their jobs . The guy who really ran the boat was the chief Engineer called Stan a brilliant character like an English John Wayne who would light Speigel up even in front of the guests if he had the skipper work the engines to hard. The Yacht was so lovely we had so much fun getting it ready for the season spending all day painting and varnishing in the sunshine. What a life ! Heady and Fun times. Lovely to see Malahne looking so lovely and elegant again thank you for posting
