Fleming, classic looks, oldschool but gold, absolutely cant takes eyes out from her, it will be nice if Fleming do a full oneshoot walkthrough for this beautiful lady (Fleming 85), thank you for this beauty
Fleming yachts have never been built in the U.S. They have been built in Taiwan since the company started in 1985: "When the first Fleming yacht was being created in 1985, boat yards in Taiwan offered the best choice for building such a quality vessel. After extensive research, Tony Fleming selected the Tung Hwa yard, located just outside the busy port of Kaohsiung, to build his new design. Since that time, the Tung Hwa factory builds only Fleming Yachts, and every Fleming has been built at this factory with many of the same shipwrights and craftsmen. In fact, the same engineer who currently installs the engines, gears, shafts, struts, props and rudders has done so on every Fleming Yacht ever built. The many other craftsmen from our early days who remain with us are very proud of their work and experience. Their passion and skills are passed down from one generation to the next. Of course, new methods and materials are continually being introduced to improve the functionality and safety of our yachts and to ensure they all are built to comply with CE Ocean Class Category A or NMMA/ABYC standards. Fleming Yachts personnel are continuously on-site to ensure that ideas and designs are communicated directly. They also personally test and inspect every boat before shipment."
The great thing is the videos of the boat in real ocean conditions, learning what's good and what changes could work, great design, stable, the engine changed to MAN wass a great idea, I'm impressed with this company. Thank you for taking us along on your tours
One can only dream. Being 74 time is going fast, maybe, just maybe a 55 will come my way. Always loved the Fleming style. Nothing else compares, beautiful lines, just gorgeous ladies, brilliant design.
I am leaning towards Tony being the one they described in the interview. The unnamed previous owner has covered every area Tony has which leads me to believe it's him. We shall see...
If I were buying a Fleming it would be impossible to give up that classic pilot house for an enclosed fly bridge. Hopefully they aren’t going to offer a version with the Master Cabin in the V-berth location. Can’t wait to see the real thing in 2022!
A great beauty indeed; I appreciate the enclosed Flybridge design for the larger craft-- air draft no longer an issue. Would they consider reverse rake windows forward of the helm? or just not part of the Fleming "DNA"? the advantages being the 3 Gs: no Glare inside, especially at night; no Greenhouse heating effect; better Gasket longevity out of the sun and better drying... the rake could parallel the sharp upper rake of the bow itself.
I wonder if you have gave it any thought of working with a British Yard .. to build your vessels . To keep up with demand if you have an influx from Europe based buyers
Love the Flemings. Will get a 55 myself in a few years when I retire. But the interior design could certainly take some lessons from some other makers, particularly Benetti.
So much unanswered. WHAT ARE YOUR FLUID DYNAMIC PROJECTIONS FOR RANGE!!!!! Are they normally so far off you’re afraid to say? Part of the purchase plan is obviously will it safely meet your travel plans. I look forward to an actual sea trial with information I need to know.
@@shauno1970 It's been said that 1000 hp IPS pods have the same thrust as 1300 hp shaft drives. So you only have a deficit of 400hp. Now if you add the Sharrow props to the IPS pods you might even have parity. It would also free up some more hull space for humans. In any case you could put 3 x IPS.
Love the new model, will this be Chinese made? Does anyone know the air draft in this model? I am looking for the biggest boat that will do the great loop, USA. Merry Christmas to all 🇨🇦
What I really don’t like is all the wasted footage at the back of the yacht. Behind the lovely outdoor dining space is a gap, half wall and flat swimming/diving area. To me wasted area. I would much prefer it all covered and deck all the way around. I would make the cabin 4 to 5 feet longer, which would still give you more than adequate outdoor dining space. I’m sure there is a reason for this (I hope)? With 85ft., would still want a single Captains Cabin, just in case you decided to take one on, even if the three staterooms were a bit smaller. Adore the Fleming, perhaps this is just my personal preference. I really dislike those slick drug runner yachts, but despite of the terrible outside design, give a bit more options inside.
The anchor arm roller folds down or up if short length needed. Longer & stronger than normal anchor roller arm bc it is slotted for a carbon fiber drop in sailboard type fin right up front, can b 10ft down in water to help front end track straight even though ice breaker round & just float skimming in the air. When u want to drop anchor u pull out the sailboard.
You forgot to mention over £1.4 Million for one of these and you still have to get down on your hands and knees to deal with the electric panel in the wheelhouse. For that money Id want it on a bulkhead easily viewed and Less easy to kick in in a rough sea, We dont all sit in Marinas drinking, Not a lot of thought gone in to that
The way to hve adjustable draft is good fresh water store u can fill or not, great fuel store u can fill or not, but most of all shower water store huge, that can b pure H2o or brackish or pure salt water. This way at sea in bad weather if u don't hve time to fill shower tanks w/fresh u max fill from sea. Bc taking a salty bath vs rolling over or sinking is easy trade off. If u hve few days b4 bad weather fill the shower tank up fresh & clear. Hve walk way bags u can fill up w/ fresh or salt too same idea so drafting heavy in rough weather.
The under 90ft rule not counting roller chain or rear beach deck if it is separate from hull & moves, but dunking it in water if u hve enclosed walls means serious lifting power, not happening. Just railings & water bags or fuel bags tied down letting down in water won't strain the lifters. Only if trying to lift back up. If water bags u can just pull plug, but if fuel bags then u need to use the fuel down or transfer it into tank b4 u try & lift beach deck.
U will hve to winch up tender even if lifted by deck so u can fold beach deck up then let dinky back down. Or u r dragging beach unfolded deck a bit & longer than 85ft. If rough seas hving water bags on unfolded decks & hving them in down in water position is best set up. U hve to secure water bags if lowering the deck down n water though.
Instead of 1 keel down middle also trace out hull front & on sides so even though less displacement 3 v keels trying to keep u planted. If u r going to drag something & thin steel keel blade is no big deal. Air system 4 beats 2 fins is best stabilizers system & easy cost install & repair. Sea keeper is budget blower in 85ft. Less v means more round or tri-axe. If u want less draft 1st & most then round hull w/ harsh double diagonal cut outs is best, still u need water tight bump crash protection in front short & sweet length restriction BS. Think ice breaker round tough front end & water tight crash still. It is like big f-ing round front end only stops short in water so naturally plains, Then transitions back down to normal semi displacement depth. Idea is if u r going to drag keel or front it is a wedge lifting u out of the ground slowly little bit then a little more progressing to back. Not smacking into hull. Oh we r "starting to drag slow it & back up, instead of we hit bottom & r stuck. Rounded front hull just floating in water/space up front. Front end of hull might b 2 ft of draft then 2.5 then 3ft, then middle is 4 then 4.5 all the way to not an inch more than 5ft at keels trace drag. It is key to efficient travel the draft & sets the wt of ship & stuff 1st damn think u hve to work out, normal loading. After out of swallows u can heavy load past 5ft of draft, but hving design functional loaded & less than 5ft is key. Rough seas being able to draft 6ft is ideal even if u just fill up fresh water hold or worst case sea water hold, or best beat fresh water & max fuel.
the upper deck should max length extend as poss. Front bow should b higher, if u room for Portuguese front then taller front next best more walls no railing cheaper & more water tight deal. No inside helm & 2nd deck is enclosed helm & how u get to front of boat. 1 walk some u make right side walk down to stair & others u make left walk down to stair. Just a ledge u can hook on & use to clean windows on wrong side non walk.
Fleming is a nice boat, but I'm no fan of the upward swooping bow. It also seems to "plow" the water, as opposed to "cut" through it. It looks very laborious to the engines as she goes along. I'd take one if it was given to me, but other yards are building "sharper" boats with modern looks.
2013 The year my Grandparents Estate was sold & Northwestern Mutual (Stuart Cestia) was my Grandmothers Financial Advisor. Corruption & Global Insurance Fraud Enterprise. DISGUSTING & DANGEROUS
Did they rob your Grandparents estate? I'm sorry if they did. I know the feeling, a lawyer scammed my Great Grandmother who was a 'friend of the family, after her husband died he lied to her to give him power of attorney and somehow stole her 300+ acres in the California Central Valley not to mention thousand acres in Arizona and Indiana that they owned. This was 1920's and it was easier for crooked lawyers to get away with crimes back then, he always made sure my Great Grandmother had her bills paid and money while she lived so it wouldn't attract too much attention. So, if Northwestern Mutual pulled fraud against your family, I'm very sorry and hopefully you and your family can get restitution.
As beautiful as the Flemings are, they have a fatal flaw for me. The touch screen systems. Touch screens fail to respond to my touch 65% of the time, I could never purchase a yacht that can't offer non touch interfaces.
it is right in sweet spot, loop boats can't hve more draft than 5ft max not an inch more, & under 90ft ish, max beam under 23ft. Hving max ht limit of 19 ft or less new loaded from water, so mast needs to fold. Reverse rake glass 1 feature of trawlers is still missing from fleming. what ever hull shape gives least draft while hving most volume ie semi is best, & bow is ancient tired. Newer lighter material r key to getting low draft. Right length, right size, right tech IPS penta & solar & hydraulic beach & side deck folds & genset back up drive, all in classic sturdy tired & true dead fleming style. It is all about getting each prt just right bc only 85ft, just right power, just right range, just right new tech & old dead cues, & modern features & tech, & modern bow hull at a price that works in market. Too much tech or ultra material won't sell at only 85ft. But there is high demand for this product under served in market place. Ppl will naturally if can end up here forever boat & skip starter house. Esp if older stuff on market missing tech or hull or dialed in perfect total product, & modern not cemetery decor, ie timeless not dead yet styling.
Great looking boat!!! Tony's travel videos sold me!!!
The fully enclosed fly bridge is gorgeous! I like it very much!
Amazing project! Waiting to see it sailing!!!
This is really a gorgeous design. Fleming is really setting the bar very high for the competition. Wish I could get one!
I’m super excited about Fleming finally building a larger yacht. I’m definitely putting this yacht at the top of my wish list.

Beautiful Trawler yacht!! Mr. Fleming, I'm sure, is very proud of your carrying on with his good work!!
I would not surprise me if he is #1's owner.
Keep on building Fleming. Keep on building!!! I will own one. One day!!!
When does Tony get an 85 to continue his excellent reporting about Fleming`s legacy?
I am leaning towards Tony being the one they described in the interview. The unnamed previous owner has covered every area Tony has which leads me to believe it's him. We shall see...
@@Paul_n_Texas Right, I heard the description and came to the comments to see if anyone agreed. Plus he got #1 of the 65s and then missed the 78.

Beautiful yachts!!! Why do we not get to see sleeping quarters?
After u moved ship control to an enclosed flybridge.... the new Fleming resembles the Marlow Explorer which has been around for ages.
When can we expect a video tour?
But isnt it basically the 55's layout with more space?
Another stunning yacht. Classy and beautiful. Now where was that lottery ticket?
I ask the presenter of the program to add the Arabic translation. Thank you

Sometimes you find something that is "just right". This is one of those.
I am in Canada, is there a place to store over the winter(Great Lakes)?
Love the Flemings.
Will get a 55 myself in a few years when I retire.

I suggest yoiu visit the website: Flemingyachts.com.
I wonder why they stuck with shaft drives rather than pods such as Volvo Penta 1300's. Does anyone know if shafts are increasing in efficiency.
Not enough power. Those Volvo 1300 are 1000hpx2. These 85s have 1500hpx2. 50% more hp
@@shauno1970 It's been said that 1000 hp IPS pods have the same thrust as 1300 hp shaft drives. So you only have a deficit of 400hp. Now if you add the Sharrow props to the IPS pods you might even have parity. It would also free up some more hull space for humans. In any case you could put 3 x IPS.

Taiwan .. is a seperate Country from China
Draft 5”5’, Air Draft 20’
@@colintraveller To some.
@@raleedy Still is a seperate Nation ... always will be .. it's just that China likes to think they rule over it .. when they don't
It does not look right with enclosed fly,symmetry and balance is somehow off/odd.Much better ,open top deck.
Nice!

I really dislike those slick drug runner yachts, but despite of the terrible outside design, give a bit more options inside.
drafting max wt 7ft water walk way bags & few on other side inside to bal load is far safer than light draft under 5ft low fuel.
Could the 4 people that have this a thumbs down let me know why ? Not being critical .... just curious.
Probably because if you need to use the head you need to go all the down to the accomodation. Lots of wasted space in pilot house.
@@surfsharc there must be day head
Super Atlantic Coaster. Does it come with a 1st Mate?😆😎
This is how, form, fallows, function, all Flemmings, are a real, thing of beauty.
Meanwhile I'm once again wondering how much the bill is for my car's annual service and test cert.

Love Flemming 85 might be a bit big for me alone but bought my letter ticket so I can afford the crew, because some one else should clean the boat lol

So will this be a departure from wooden hulls or will it available as an option ?
All Fleming's have solid glass hulls

Piano hinge hold in 1/2 beach deck that can lift up & down is best in short 85ft length, so u max the deck space yet keep short length.

She looks rather good but the wheelhouse windows are too large. You get a good view for the cost of safety.
No crew?
You'd spend all your time on routine maintenance.
Just keeping the decks, rails, windows, etc clean will take hours every day.
She should be a great yacht. A little big for me but I would buy one if I was the target audience.
U will hve to winch up tender even if lifted by deck so u can fold beach deck up then let dinky back down. Or u r dragging beach unfolded deck a bit & longer than 85ft.

the 24 meter ideal limit for owner operator I God think should b 90ft or under bc w/all the modern tech a well trained 12 yr old could do it.
