Small modular nuclear reactors: ua-cam.com/video/9cc1j-MbVVA/v-deo.html There are even smaller reactors than these in the pipeline. Westinghouse and other established firms have also come up with their small reactors. Nuclear reactors have been used on naval vessels for close to 80 years. Recall that tiny reactor from the US base in the Arctic?: ua-cam.com/video/1Ujx_pND9wg/v-deo.html

1- I would love to buy the S/Y Spirit of Venice, or the S/Y Sunday Morning, or commission a build of a 90ft version of the Antara with the specs I provided in the earlier comments: ua-cam.com/video/BzanKs2wHIQ/v-deo.html 2- I'd also love to have a go-anywhere version o the T6, which could economically suffice for most of my needs: ua-cam.com/video/8duK4vRLLGg/v-deo.html 3- In the extreme scenario, I wouldn't want a yacht more uneconomical than the Alucia. Yachts, generally, consume 25 gallons/hour for every 500 horses of power: ua-cam.com/video/uTkkPwpwiEY/v-deo.html

I was a very strong advocate of trimarans, as a young man, but, now, that I've turned close to 60, I want something tried-and-tested, like mono-hulls. For those who wish to experiment, a smaller yacht based on the Independence Class littoral vessel would be the perfect compromise between ability and economy. It could even climb small packs of ice, just like an ice-breaker, to break them up with its weight. A flatter sailing trimaran with a retractable centerboard or swinging keel could also drastically diminish the possibility of capsizing. These, though, might still be too broad to navigate through the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic, and would also lack the energy(momentum = mass x velocity) to break the ice packs with impact. Since they're multi-hulls, these might not even survive impact with the ice, and rupture themselves. A yacht based on the Independence Class littoral vessel, though, could climb on top of the ice and break it with its weight. I would never buy a trimaran for myself because, at 58, I don't wish to risk things that haven't been exhaustively tested, but here are links to some exciting trimarans, down below: 1- Independence Class LCS: A shrunken version of this could even venture into the Arctic and Antarctic(provided it can refuel on the way): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence-class_littoral_combat_ship#/media/File:Independence_(LCS_2)_in_drydock.jpg 2- Adastra: Too flimsy for rough weather, but the design lends itself to very spacious interiors and economical cruising: robbreport.com/motors/marine/adastra-trimaran-superyacht-1234628628/ 3- The Hanstaiger: This, again, has very good performance characteristics and spacious interriors, but like other multi-hulls could get stuck or broken in ice in extreme latitudes: www.hanstaiger.com/exceptional#exceptional5

My priorities would be safety, autonomy, comfort and economy. I, personally, would choose two different yachts. A- A 90ft, aluminum hulled, ketch with a centerboard for economical cruising with just my kids or a couple of crew members for most of the sailing adventures. I want a ketch or a schooner because I feel unsafe with tall rigs/masts. Schooners don't perform well upwind, so ketches are generally preferred, but I'm not entirely convinced, so will even take a very close look at a schooner before I commission the build. I like the S/Y Spirit of Venice and S/Y Sunday Morning(Palmer Johnson), so might just purchase these off-the-shelf. I need 3 suites on this: A large, beam-width suite with a desk for myself; 2 comfortable, but not too spacious rooms for my kids; and a very spacious saloon that would serve as the epicenter of all activities. I don't like batteries, so I could opt for a backup diesel or ammonia drive for this. I don't care about emissions, unless they're regulated, but I want to be autonomous and economical. This could use a blend of solar and wind power at anchor(since neither source has round-the-clock availability and because I'm averse to large battery banks. I don't mind small banks for a few hours of emergency backup), and a (shaft-driven) water-turbine under sail. I might choose twin screws, two sets of twin rudders(like those on S/Y Pangaea), and twin drives. 90ft isn't too big, so I'd have to factor the space sacrificed into the equation. I don't want a yacht larger or smaller than 90ft to cruise with my kids. Smaller ones are too cramped, whereas larger ones need large crew complements. I might choose a Perini Navi interior for the sailing yacht and a San Lorenzo interior for the motor yacht. I also like Alberto Pinto, Mark Berryman, and Kelly Hoppen interior. B- A 160ft to 220ft motor yacht, like the Odyssey/Alucia or T6/V6). I need to be able to take this to explore the Arctic and the Antarctic, so would want a helicopter hangar(43ftx8ftx13ft) and a submarine/amphibious vehicle hangar(14ftx8ftx9ft), and the ability to service and fuel an occasional flying-in amphibious aircraft. I want a large saloon to serve as a social/party venue, a work place, an emergency hospital, and a school for my kids. I want a reasonably sized Sundeck and Sky lounge, and a small fly-bridge. These could also be swapped for other activities(office for myself or school for my kids) if the saloon is too busy to hold those activities. I want a shallow and a narrow pool, perhaps, where I could swim against a water jet. I want this to be 10 to 18ft long (depending on whether I swim against a jet, or actually swim the length), 4ft deep, and 7ft wide. I want my own suite to be spacious and equipped with a desk and a settee. I need the 3 guest rooms to comfortable, but not too spacious. I want the crew to share 2 dorms, each to sleep 8 people in 2-storey, single beds, two on each side. These dorms could also take in extra guests. I want the dorms to have 2 to 4 common showers and toilets. I want the engine room to also serve as a workshop. I would choose a nuclear reactor for both propulsion and facilities power, and, perhaps, back it up with wind, solar, or shaft power to only power the essential systems in the event of failure of nuclear power. You need to take a look at the new pico/micro nuclear reactors, they're very tempting, and they've been used on nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers and even surface vessels for decades. I might employ General Dynamics or a French specialty nuclear firm to provide a nuclear reactor designed specifically for marine use, even though modern, micro and portable nuclear reactors are turning quite common these days. I, though, am not too familiar with the regulatory turf on marine nuclear power. If I had the money, I would buy the S/Y Spirit of Venice or S/Y Sunday Morning(Palmer Johnson) and M/V Odyssey/Alucia off the shelf.

Thank you video brilliant

Your client's list of requirements is very interesting. I am ready to see episode 2

Is there Molten salt systems similar to "Thor" available or are they to expensive

Great "VID" Paul...quite informative! Thank you!

New technologies are not ready enough, we are only in the early stages of development.

Let's start with...nothing is perfect. Wind...ok becalmed isn't fun. Neither is the gigantic mast required to move something as massive as the boat we are talking about. Throw in the fact that those masts are, well, lightning rods. Yep,getting whacked by lightning will do massive damage to the electrical systems. I have had my 43' sailboat hit by lightning. One last thing about wind. Crazy 50-100kt winds happen. The bigger the boat, the bigger the target. For a vessel this size, diesel electric hybrid is the smart way. Oops, almost forgot...wind is ssssssslllllllooooooowwwwwwww

Fletner Sails would be a good choice.

Let me explore the world in luxury before I destroy it.

Great video. What about a methanol fuel cell that only creates hydrogen on a per need basis?

Could try SWATH

Very cool content. Looking forward to the next episode about sail technology.

Thanks Paul!!! Very interesting content!!!

Thank you video brilliant compliment

What cost range we talking about on this conversion?? I definitely would an industrial ship and convert it, all serious machinery

Can you do a vide on semi SWATH please.

Very interesting, and while it wouldn't matter to most people, that dining room table holds 20, not 30. She holds a maximum of 20 guests. The General Layout shows a table for 20 (eight[8] on each side, two[2] at each end) and the picture at 2:30 (as well as at the link) shows eight(8) chairs max on the side. To make it 30 people, you would need five(5) more per side, which means the pirate painting would be off-centered as well as the table decorations. Having stated that, she seems to be a unique yacht at a good price if there are no hidden maintenance costs required.

Nice

I'm not so sure this is the narration you need on this video. His voice would do amazing for Most Wanted videos or those about mysterious alien sightings. It doesn't quite fit on a multi-million yacht video.

She is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 🌺

Apparently, the asking price is about us$85m.

Very nice Paul thanks for this video.

At what point does a large yacht become a small cruise ship?

They just took the cylinder heads off individually. I suppose that without an overhead crane, that would help a lot.

I will buy this yacht. In my next life or in my 3rd😁

The man overboard boat must be able to launch within 5 minutes and have its own independent launching system or power system. If the main power goes out, that boat must have an alternative launching system. Manual, Electric, or Hydraulic winching. In addition to being a rescue craft for someone going overboard, it is the main boat used in case people go into life rafts. The life rafts would be gathered together and then tied to the tender as a means of propulsion. In addition, the life raft is to be kept with a minimum of a half a tank of gas at all times. But I think you knew all this you sly dog.

I thought Laurel was a Feadship design with a steel hull but built by Delta

Nice

I'm not usually into "white boats". But this interior is super unique with its curved and carved walls. It really makes all that fancy dark brown wood look modern and inviting. I was startled at how much that teak tender resembled a Riva!

What would be total cost of restoration?

Paul who could/would actually build something like this in terms of shipbuilders?

I hope you continue your series on conversations yachts

I was on the crew that built these TAGOS boats at Tacoma Boat Corp in Washington. Still have a couple pages of sshop drawings and blueprints somewhere.

Use to be octopus 🐙 for Microsoft CEO cofounder.

PS. In Sweden, no car is not allowed to leave the road (any) road, unless it’s on your own property of course. So all the campers and stuff you see in commercials “camping in the wild nature” is actually not allowed, should you abide the law to the letter… ATVs, snow mobiles etc usually need the owners permission to go on their lands. On state owned land, certain trails are offered and marked that you have to stick to. However, we also have the “Allemans-right” that permits all people to use nature (on foot) basically everywhere, as long as you leave no trace, trash behind, or destroy anything. Wonderful. So to take an extreme off-road monster machine and just ravage straight into nature (as shown in the end of your video) would be a big no no in Sweden 😅

Excellent video! 😃👌🏻

Thank you so much for your videos! 😃❤️👌🏻

Yes, it’s the best vessel on the internet for worldwide marine species protection.😮😊❤

Send me the invoice I have to have this ship.

Could be the greatest yacht ever built 👌🏻. Happy Roger bought it to cater for a “new” market in Scandinavia

This is gonna be awesome

I’d love to convert an OSV And install a moon pool in a pressurized section to house a mini submarine that could be launched from under the hull of the ship and a great space for divers to enter and exit the water with a recompression chamber close by.

Why did NOAA not repair the ship and continue to use it?

Why could NOAA not repair it and continue to use it?

Just sailed on the new Celebrity Ascent and the bow design peaked my curiosity. I noticed more side roll than older ships. Great explanation, thank you.

I've always loved the look and motion of the Coast Guard CUTTERS !!!

That's a WOW ship; I can't wait to see it refitted.
