So coming back to the crew door (if anyone from Sunseeker actually reads these comments), I will pass along a design idea that may be an interesting and thoughtful addition/change. I made something similar a few years back for a service trailer for a good friends company rig. The crew door would be able to open from the top or the bottom depending on what may be obstructing access thus requiring a bottom hinge option for access. A strong metal frame was made that was sandwiched in between the door and the perimeter of the opening frame. The door itself was affixed to the sandwiched frame at the bottom with a hinge and a latch at the top so the door would open from the frame similar to what is shown here in the video. The sandwiched frame was attached securely to the door opening at the top with a hinge and an opening latch at the bottom. Each latch, top and bottom, could be operated from inside the door as well. So, if there was an obstruction (in this case it would be the tender), the door could be opened by unlatching and swinging outward from the top as shown here in the video. If there was no obstruction, the door and frame together could be opened from the base latch and swung upward on its frame/door assembly in normal fashion exposing a wide open access way. It worked PERFECTLY and became the standard design for the other trucks that carried the forklift off the tail of the truck. That same concept would work PERFECTLY here in this application and get rid of the tripping issue as well as provide a much more efficient access for provisioning or service at that entranceway. Can’t patent the idea because we already made a few, lol. But not for boats!! So maybe I’m wrong, lol!! But seriously, it worked absolutely perfectly for tool area access. When they were loading up supplies or working on the site, they just dropped the forklift and used the door in the easy access upswing manner. Good stuff!!
Thank you for the walk through it’s a lovely boat. I’m just wondering why does the door to the the crew cabin hinge at the bottom seems a bit odd to me
Thanks for your comment. Two reasons, 1) Safety- just incase the hi-lo platform is down while the door is closed and that whoever is exiting the crew cabin does not step out to an unexpected drop. There is also a platform down alarm in the crew cabin for the same reason. 2) Depending on the size of tender on the platform, you wouldnt be able to fully open the door if it was hinged the other way as it would hit the tubes of the tender.
Tom. Can you order the yacht with a Seakeeper? Also will they update the model anytime with the new beach club like the Manhatten 68 with the float out Seabob feature?
In tank testing of this new hull, the fin stabilisation system worked the most affectivley taking into account weight, height, waterline lengh, pivot points etc- so no cannot order with a sea keeper. I'm unsure as to what updates this model may encounter as yet.
@@tbyachtbroker5214 that seems strange, Sunseeker are keen to do customisations on larger yachts within reason, e.g. I've heard Sunseeker offering hot-tubs on this size of model, will do A/C in the engine room if a client wants, etc., so it doesn't make sense they'd refuse to fit a gyro. Yes the fins might work wonders, but that doesn't mean a gyro can't be used too. There are plenty of larger yachts with both.
What. A master piece of construction works etc. Cannot like it.it’s totally amazing. Well done to the building Team. Best in UK build. Many thanks for the FAB walk through. Best T.
Need? Zero. But if you want a captain and a waitress so you can put your feet-up, or if you want to put it on the charter market, then those two is typical.
I've come to understand. You million dollar boats are far to silly. There is no reason to remove cushions. You should be wise enough to incorporate a full down system for the cushions to pack away in their present location. If mini vans can do it in a simple 49 thousand dollar vehicle, these yachts must do this.
Crew door hinges at the bottom was probably done to provide access with a tender mounted on the swim deck. Smart thinking.

Tom, another spectacular boat from the world's-leading builder!
Thanks!
Great yacht, I love it. I don't like the crew cabbin door, looks like a trip hazzard!

@@tbyachtbroker5214 thank you Tom makes lots more sense now and thank you for you quick reply keep up the good vids thank you
Plus it adds a bit of privacy if you have a door open when you are tied up at Marina
Nice video, well done
Thank you very much!
Will they make any more 86 and 95 yachts

Gotta ask: how much is it for the jacuzzi extension?
Is it just me or is the audio on starboard tack?
Does this size of boat need a crew?
It’s on the fringe of owner operated and crewed. But as the videos show there is a crew area. So it really depends on owner preference and competency.
Need? Zero. But if you want a captain and a waitress so you can put your feet-up, or if you want to put it on the charter market, then those two is typical.
Crew cabin door is so ridiculous what a waste make it open like a normal yacht

Nice boat.
Your microphone and sound, as a result, is terrible.
