What a great inside look. I need to get down there and try out those trolleys. Alex and Blair did a great job show the heart of the yacht. We only had so much time to try and show as much as we could so if there is anything we missed you would like us to show or something that you would like a more in-depth explanation drop us a comment and we’ll try and add it to a future video. Looking forward to next weeks charter video where we saved an adrift sail yacht. Thank you everyone 🛥️🙏
Would it be possible to do a video explaining the firefighting systems and equipment as well as the medical and life safety equipment that is required aboard? I think it would be nice to have an explanation as to why different yachts are required to have certain equipment while others do not and how a yacht crew needs to be trained to handle fires, medical emergencies, mob, and so forth. I believe that many people would be very interested to see how extensive this all needs to be on this class of yacht. Thanks
That was a good video! I did not know engineers on a yacht had to do so much work work! I am impressed by everybody on the yacht as well as everyone skill level on the yacht because it takes a team to work in unison to deliver great results by the grace of God and this team sure does. Good job to all of y'all... Also, I'm really impressed by the fact that everyone is in shape. I love watching your videos it's educational and a great experience for the audience. Thanks for letting us have an inside look at just about every aspect of yacht life! May God bless all of you. Thanks again for the videos. And a big congratulations to the young lady that's about to be an engineer engineer as well as a navigator because that is very impressive... Godspeed, and y'all be safe!
This is most transparent yacht in history. Blair does and amazing job, and Captain Paul you have built an amazing team. Alex is crushing it, this guy is going to steel the show at the crew talent show.

The Engineers are in fact the most important people on the ship. What use is the Captain if the engines do not work?? This tour of the systems was fascinating - Do a video of in passage checks, and really put the engineers in the limelight - We know that when the fuel pump failed, that the crew would have happily given them gold to get that engine running again. They might lack a sun tan and have oil under the finger nails, dirty faces sometimes too, but Engineers are the Uncrowned Royalty on every ship at sea. ....... As you might have realised, I was an engineer!!! No bias or sponsorship of course - Good luck and may the wind always follow you or be absent altogether!! John
Unbelievable complexity and technology. Two men have to know every system and how to run and maintain it. Doesn’t even cover all the other items on the ship like the washers and dryers. Unbelievably impressed with the engineering crew! Worth every Penny the owner pays these guys! 💪💪💪
Former Nuke Electrician (SSBN-608)... totally agree. My brother Robert also was a nuke MM; unlike me, he went into the Merchant Marine after the Navy (Chief Engineer -Unlimited). It always amazed me with stories he'd tell me about flying into the Persian Gulf to relieve another engineer... and boom, 8 hours later, he's the guy in charge of Engineering on a ship which might have engines of a type (brand) he never saw before, with auxiliary equipment he never saw before... And his first and second engineers and wipers might not have much more experience with the particular equipment... (unlike the usual case on a US Navy submarine for example). I think in this video, they didn't make enough note of the dozens and dozens of tech manuals we saw on file in the ECR at the beginning of the tour..
Awesome tour Alex - Blair too! I know you’re proud of the team responsible for everything we viewed - it always amazes me how the designers and engineers create the ability to make a Yacht experience a true memory for the guests. For another interesting idea - would love to have the divers show us the under structure of the Yacht! Thanks again for a very memorable tour. 🎉
Interesting request. We already know that every member of Loon's crew is PADI qualified. Are only engineers involved with the underside or can any crew member be called upon to assist?
This brings back memories that statement "everything must work" says it all, comment from my captain once "talk to the engineer, I just drive it" yep nothing happens without a good engineering team, great video.
Um, hate to break the news to you Cap, but Alex just stole the show. If I were you mate, I'd keep that handsome charming, and brutishly articulate chap as far below deck as possible on all future voyages, lest he start gunnin' for your job mate. But being the fantastic maritime engineer he be, it should be all good with him and you too, ya? May the best man win !!
That was awesome. I didn't realize how expansive and complex the engineering spaces are on a yacht that size. That's a lot of preventive maintenance, as well. I'm surprised that their are only 3 engineers. Good job, guys, and thanks.
Really what makes it all happen… without the engineers the boat would never leave the dock…not even issue one of these videos!! Great job Alex and crew!
Great job Chief, you can tell a lot by looking at how clean and organized the Eng, spaces are. Look forward to seeing more of the engineering crew and spaces.
As a network administrator I would love some more details about the network and what exactly is in the racks! And the satellite uplink and bandwidth! Super curious. Could tell Alex was nervous about being on camera but as soon as he started talking about the technical details he was much more composed and obviously extremely knowledgeable on so many complicated systems. Would love to see more.
As a worker on oil and gas platforms for 36 years and also doing electrical work on oilfield workboats and crew boats before that, I loved this video. Much better technology than they had on the oilfield boats back in the 70's and 80;s. It was great to see what you have in the engine and equipment rooms. We have a lot of the same things on the oil platforms, but ours are just much bigger.
Excellent tour and great video overall! As an IT guy - I’d love to see more about the IT computer systems and networking aboard. Yozo seems like he’s got a tremendous amount to maintain on a such a highly sophisticated ship. You all seem to do a great job hiding the inner workings of the ship - but short of the coffee makers going down - if the computers &/or internet go down - Yozo’s the man with the plan!
Captain Paul, thank you; you are an excellent ambassador for Aussies. Engineer Alex, thank you for sharing your hidden maze of intrigue. Blair, thank you for engaging, arresting, insightful content each time. The Loon owners and crew and the entire vessel is a slice of heaven on the waters. God bless you all, your families and your beloved nations. I follow you from the Fiji Isles in the South West Pacific. Sunny salutations!
@@motoryachtloon Fiji would be honored to welcome your party to the Fiji Isles. We have a burgeoning yacht culture in our tourism industry. There are several privately owned islands here with their own exclusive 5-star resorts. High-end clientele from the US and the UK have been known to vacation at some of those properties 🌞
Absolutely THE most interesting part of ship's management ( for me ). 21:55 2 thumbs up in X formation for the safety of all involved! ( locked side doors, safety cone ) I don't believe you can get more conscious to the health and well-being of all! Thank you for this video @ M/Y Loon. These are the reasons Loon is 💯 in my book!
When I watch super yacht walk throughs I normally skip the engine room bit, but this was informative and entertaining, kudos to you all, it’s great to see a happy ship👏
Wow, awesome engine room tour. I have worked in a high tech industry for 40years and am rarely impressed but this blew me away, how can one person know so many different systems plus be great in front of the camera..... awesome job Alex. All the crew on Loon, you are something else !!! 💪😎
So for being absent for the past few weeks , been on holiday in Wales no internet at all. But time to play catch up can’t wait Reading the comments looks like I’m in for a treat Cheers Blair, Captain and your amazing team
My late dad was MEM (Stoker) in the Royal Navy and he would have loved this video. Nice to see the engineers and wow those spaces were spotless and a true asset to Loon. Great vlog and very interesting. Greg 🇬🇧
First of all what a amazing ship. I can’t imagine the knowledge these engineers have and the extent of training they receive. Also what a clean looking engineering space, everything well kept. Thank you for sharing this with us.
One thing I'm sure your viewers would enjoy and that is to see a first start up of the day starting with checking the oil and other fluids, etc... I think folks who have never seen the like would enjoy it immensely. Also, kudos to the Engineering Dept they did a Great job. You too, Blair... Keep 'em coming...
Just came across your channel and this was the first video we have watched. Absolutely loved the tour of the engineering spaces by Blair and Alex and what great personalities and ambassadors for M/Y Loon. Definitely want to see more from this dynamic duo of the behind the scenes parts including main engine maintenance. Thanks and looking forward to binge watching the rest of your videos. 👍👍👍
Alex, here is a quick "rough" way to convert from liters to gallons. First, take the liters and divide by 4. So 125,000/4 is roughly 30,000 (actually, it's 31,250). Next, take the rough number of 30,000 and add 10% to that. So 30,000 + 3,000 = 33,000. 33,000 is pretty darn close to 31,250!! Loved the engineering tour!!
Kudos to Alex and crew! I'm a retired Chief Engineer Motor & GT any HP. Your hard work is showcased in how meticulously you maintain the engineering spaces. If only the ships I've sailed on looked half as good. Looks like you have some Siemens switchgear onboard. Loved the comment about natural light hurting engineer's eyes - some truth in that. Hahahaha.
Absolutely brilliant walkthrough, thanks. The thing I noted was that some of the equipment looked bigger than the access into the spaces, making replacement, or even repair, a massive job. I'd love to see more of the IT side and whats involved there for both the monitoring and the internet for the crew and guests
The scale and complexity of this - being that it all must fit aboard a ship - is very very impressive! The number of systems that the engineers must comprehend and manage is a lot! Thank you so much for this tour!
A fantastic tour, I did notice a difference where Alex got so into what he was talking about that he appeared to forget all about the camera lol I’m really looking forward to the refit videos, thanks guys, you’ve opened up the world of super yachts like no others have, a few have tried, but everyone onboard Loon seems to be behind this and we can tell. 👍🏻
I don't know about anyone else but I enjoyed that tour so much. Being a contractor I do a lot of repair work but I had no idea just how robust the Loon's systems were. Thank you.
Hi and hello to the Loon crew from Australia Wow, what a professional crew, an absolute credit to the captain and ship. An tough Australian captain with a touch of Larrikinism will always trump any other captain in any ship and on any sea, I think the crew of Loon already knows, not to mistake, kindness, compassion, understanding with weekness on the Captains behalf, let’s face it who would you rather, a Euro captain or an Australian captain. Once again will done to captain Paul and the whole crew on Loon, the best ship to sail the almost seven seas. Respect and admiration Terry.
I marvel at the crew and what a great workplace. But the architects that draw where everything goes and where everything has a spot on a yacht, is mind blowing. Love watching these videos, I'm an old dog who loves the water. You get me closer with these videos and live vicariously with each one. Can't wait to see the new yacht, and the tour through out! Keep up the GREAT work. This could have been said on any of the videos by the way!
Ive never observed a yacht with such a high level of cohesive spirit that the Loon has. You all appear to perform so well together as a team. Sorry if this sounds corny. Well Done! cheers
Cheers to Alex and Dom! (and also the ETO officer). As a technical geek myself it was a treat to watch this episode and get to know the ins and out of the Engine room. Higly commendable of them as to having all that knowledge to manage all the systems on board. Having watched many of Loon videos this by far has been my favourite.
Wow. That actually was amazing! I was thinking my eyes would glaze over, but I wanted to give it a watch to support y'all,...Surprisingly for me I found it really interesting! Now I know why these type of boats have such astronomical price tags! The stabilizers were fascinating to me! But the most surprising thing was when you opened the closet door to reveal Yozo! What the heck!? Such a handsome, charming guy stuck in a closet all day?? Big thank you to him! And, yes,...Alex did a fab job, charming as well, while I was watching I couldn't help think, His mother must be very proud!...
Being a mechanical engineer myself I was amazed at the complexity that they have to deal with, what I did in the machine tool industry was not as compact as what they have to deal with, great job!
I'm a total tech nerd, so anything to do with nuts, bolts, electrons, etc. is a bonus. In my past life, I was a consulting engineer working under contract with the U.S. Navy and was deployed a few times on aircraft carriers. So, I guess I come by my curiosity about how your systems work honestly. Bring it!! [Give Alex a gold star.]
Alex was great! Great tour, would be interesting to see a video of what happens when something screws up. The entire crew seems incredibly happy-do you put something in the water?
A big shoutout to the awesome team of engineers behind the Motor Yacht 'Loon'! Your tour was seriously mind-blowing. The cool tech and small details that make the yacht tick are just amazing. You guys really nailed it with the luxurious vibe and smooth ride for everyone to watch. I'm telling you, from the propulsion systems to the hydraulic and electric systems, everything was spot on. This content is seriously awesome, and it's got me excited for more. Can't wait to see what else your creative minds come up with in the future!
Great video...brings a new meaning to 'fill her up'. Cool guys...obviously know their stuff.. and are being paid accordingly...judging by their smiles.
I love seeing supremely competent professionals operating complex machinery with standard-setting competence and professionalism. Thanks for showing us this fascinating part of the boat. Kudos to the engineers and content team!
Love all the engineering...these yachts are literally a floating city. Would love more details on any of it. The electrical shore power converter system and how it all works would be great. I never would have thought the bow thruster could demand so much power. Great video....FYI-most guys watching these love when you do more of the mechanical/electrical systems.
Fantastic! I'd put a vote in for a similar overview of the tech systems - all the bridge systems, nav, radar, comms etc. Keep the great content coming!
The refit work later in the year sounds like great content is coming . The behind the scenes on keeping the internet going and balanced would be cool too
Alex did an outstanding job of educating us what it takes to run a yacht like Loon. I look forward to his next time on the channel. Blair did another bang-up job of filming and editing the video. Loon has a talented and diverse crew. Keep doing these informative videos.
I'm also impressed that the Captain and his crew have a very good sense of humor as well as a good rapport for one another. This team appears to be very professional, intelligent, know jobs very well, have a good line of communication with one another, speak very well, while at the same time taking their job very seriously, while expressing that safety is of the utmost importance for everyone, while making sure the guest feel very comfortable! I'm impressed, and I thank God for giving every human being a practical skill so we can learn from one another... Great job to the entire loon crew/family! Not to mention, for the ones that speak multiple languages, good job because English is my native tongue, and I will probably find it difficult to learn another language LOL. Put on a serious note, you guys speak very professional and explain things very well in the camera for the audience to understand, because that within itself is a blessing because som people have stage fright to where they can't get their words out, and y'all make it look easy. Again, good job and Godspeed!
Great Video of some of the Mechanical Systems on a Super Yacht. Thanks for sharing the very clean mechanical areas. Definitely something to be proud of.
Great to have Alex and Dom and Eyo (?) cover what they do and happy to hear it said that they keep every facet of the yacht operational, mast head to props and bow thruster. I have to ask if they reason y'all keep them hidden is because you do not want to admit you'd have nothing to do if they didn't do their jobs so well - haha. No I am not in the industry and not an engineer. Just another behind the scenes person who enjoys seeing peers acknowledged.
Two things: 1) The workbench in the engine room. Do they fabricate things at sea? What would be some examples of the kinds of things that would be fixed in there while underway? 2) Need another video on the networking closet. Are you guys running server racks down there or just network switches? Does data get cached on board or telemetry data sent to the cloud in a hybrid solution? Does Yozo run scripts to back things up? The people need to know 😂
I'd love to see some more in-depth on maintaining some of the systems on board like changing the oil in the main engines, maintenance on the water makers.
Love your channel, finally something like Below deck but not, and better. Tours with the head of departments, and what they do would also be very interesting. :)
I work in a Maritime safety center training crews in liferafts/firedrills etc so i would love a video of all your lifesaving equipment and firefighting stuff 🤘 Thanks for great videos👊👊🇦🇽
That was just fascinating to see the whole engine bay and all its ancillary equipment! It really give you a better understanding to what goes into a yacht of this size! Thank you ever so much and anything else you can show us! Please do! It was also great to see the fun banter that you all have between yourselves! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
It's amazing that someone actually designed all the equipment and where it was going to be installed , presumably on a computer in the draughtsman stage at the boat yard. A truly interesting video. I'll have to buy a Euro Millions lottery ticket and maybe afford an hours charter. 🤔
What a great inside look. I need to get down there and try out those trolleys.
Alex and Blair did a great job show the heart of the yacht.
We only had so much time to try and show as much as we could so if there is anything we missed you would like us to show or something that you would like a more in-depth explanation drop us a comment and we’ll try and add it to a future video.
Looking forward to next weeks charter video where we saved an adrift sail yacht.

When do the videos come out is there a day
That tour was as good as it gets, The size of the engine room and it’s ancillaries we’re really an eye opener …

As an engineer myself, it's wonderful to see this side of things! Brilliant!
This.
30 minutes of pure geek-out. Thanks Alex. Well done.
@@zf4hp24 this is not "geek-out", only snipes would like this boring video.
I am an engineer in the automotive sector, so seeing this inside view of a yacht is really interesting
As a former Nuclear Machinist Mate (SSBN 622) many years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Superbly qualified people. Well done.

coming from the building trades hats off to the builders and maintenance personnel
First of all what a amazing ship. I can’t imagine the knowledge these engineers have and the extent of training they receive. Also what a clean looking engineering space, everything well kept. Thank you for sharing this with us.
The engine room is by far the most interesting area of the ship. A ship is basically a giant machine and the engineering spaces are it's heart.
We asked and you delivered top notch, a 24 hour day in the life of engineer could be another great view 👍

Respect and admiration
Terry.
I marvel at the crew and what a great workplace. But the architects that draw where everything goes and where everything has a spot on a yacht, is mind blowing. Love watching these videos, I'm an old dog who loves the water. You get me closer with these videos and live vicariously with each one. Can't wait to see the new yacht, and the tour through out! Keep up the GREAT work. This could have been said on any of the videos by the way!
Ive never observed a yacht with such a high level of cohesive spirit that the Loon has. You all appear to perform so well together as a team. Sorry if this sounds corny. Well Done! cheers
Amazing thanks Mark. Yes we're all one big family. There are ups and downs like all families but we all get along for the most part
OMG -This was the best tour ever of any engine room...but more importantly the enthusiasm of the Loon crew was contagious. ...11 out of 10 stars!
Thanks for the tour! Really enjoyed it. Would definitely like to see more about the refit. And more about the engineering.
Alex did well!
Engine room is massive
Amazing engineers team 🤩 thanks Alex for your tour 🙏
Cheers to Alex and Dom! (and also the ETO officer). As a technical geek myself it was a treat to watch this episode and get to know the ins and out of the Engine room. Higly commendable of them as to having all that knowledge to manage all the systems on board. Having watched many of Loon videos this by far has been my favourite.
Wow.
That actually was amazing!
I was thinking my eyes would glaze over, but I wanted to give it a watch to support y'all,...Surprisingly for me I found it really interesting! Now I know why these type of boats have such astronomical price tags! The stabilizers were fascinating to me!
But the most surprising thing was when you opened the closet door to reveal Yozo! What the heck!? Such a handsome, charming guy stuck in a closet all day?? Big thank you to him!
And, yes,...Alex did a fab job, charming as well, while I was watching I couldn't help think, His mother must be very proud!...
Jozo is the best!! we let him out every now and then 😂
Being a mechanical engineer myself I was amazed at the complexity that they have to deal with, what I did in the machine tool industry was not as compact as what they have to deal with, great job!
He did a great job and talking using his hands is a must when speaking. I finally learned what the thrusters do……
Thought my electrician job was complicated. Alex not only has to know that but HVAC, plumbing, low voltage, refrigeration, machining, I.T. Incredible.
I'm a total tech nerd, so anything to do with nuts, bolts, electrons, etc. is a bonus. In my past life, I was a consulting engineer working under contract with the U.S. Navy and was deployed a few times on aircraft carriers. So, I guess I come by my curiosity about how your systems work honestly. Bring it!! [Give Alex a gold star.]
Alex was great! Great tour, would be interesting to see a video of what happens when something screws up. The entire crew seems incredibly happy-do you put something in the water?
Excellent episode. More of this please!
WOW ! Thanks Alex . Smart, handsome & funny . Hope they let you out more often . LOL . Mark (Toronto) 💙
A big shoutout to the awesome team of engineers behind the Motor Yacht 'Loon'! Your tour was seriously mind-blowing. The cool tech and small details that make the yacht tick are just amazing. You guys really nailed it with the luxurious vibe and smooth ride for everyone to watch. I'm telling you, from the propulsion systems to the hydraulic and electric systems, everything was spot on. This content is seriously awesome, and it's got me excited for more. Can't wait to see what else your creative minds come up with in the future!
My favorite video so far. I was stunned by all of what they responsible for. Y'all rock!
Well done nice video and good to see the UK boys Alex & Dom, Captain Paul they spoke perfectly you could learn a lot from them. 😊
Great video...brings a new meaning to 'fill her up'. Cool guys...obviously know their stuff.. and are being paid accordingly...judging by their smiles.
I love seeing supremely competent professionals operating complex machinery with standard-setting competence and professionalism. Thanks for showing us this fascinating part of the boat. Kudos to the engineers and content team!
These engineers are extremely resourceful and knowledgeable.
Best video you've shown yet! There are a lot more places and parts of the works to be seen. Looking forward to seeing those!😊👍
AWESOME tours. It's amazing how much they can fit in such a small space and still make it accessible and maintainable. MORE please!
Nice, some explanation and not skipping all other compartments. Some compact engineering down there, fascinating.
Great tour around the engine rooms. I didn’t realise what was involved until I saw this video.
Bruh all of them working for Loon are gorgeous.
I mean all of them. Straight up eye candy.
Cant wait to more of these! Hahaha the engineer “dad jokes” 😂😂
Love all the engineering...these yachts are literally a floating city. Would love more details on any of it. The electrical shore power converter system and how it all works would be great. I never would have thought the bow thruster could demand so much power. Great video....FYI-most guys watching these love when you do more of the mechanical/electrical systems.
You guys seem to have a happy and positive attitude. This will make for a more efficient engineering operation.
Alex and the rest of the staff did an incredible job with this tour of amazing places!
Seems to be great engineers, don`t talk (to much) solve problems - respect.
what an amazing job the engineers and crew on this vessel are doing keeping her ship shape.
Fantastic! I'd put a vote in for a similar overview of the tech systems - all the bridge systems, nav, radar, comms etc. Keep the great content coming!
Amazing technology and crew. The engine rooms are so clean. Very impressive!
The refit work later in the year sounds like great content is coming . The behind the scenes on keeping the internet going and balanced would be cool too
As an Engine cadet,
Its a dream to work in such a superyacht as an engineer!
Alex did an outstanding job of educating us what it takes to run a yacht like Loon. I look forward to his next time on the channel.
Blair did another bang-up job of filming and editing the video. Loon has a talented and diverse crew. Keep doing these informative videos.
Love this section about the woring on the Ship. Keep them coming!
I'm also impressed that the Captain and his crew have a very good sense of humor as well as a good rapport for one another. This team appears to be very professional, intelligent, know jobs very well, have a good line of communication with one another, speak very well, while at the same time taking their job very seriously, while expressing that safety is of the utmost importance for everyone, while making sure the guest feel very comfortable! I'm impressed, and I thank God for giving every human being a practical skill so we can learn from one another... Great job to the entire loon crew/family! Not to mention, for the ones that speak multiple languages, good job because English is my native tongue, and I will probably find it difficult to learn another language LOL. Put on a serious note, you guys speak very professional and explain things very well in the camera for the audience to understand, because that within itself is a blessing because som people have stage fright to where they can't get their words out, and y'all make it look easy. Again, good job and Godspeed!
Yes, more technical bits please! As an IT guy it is all super interesting.
Thanks- Stay safe you all.
Great Video of some of the Mechanical Systems on a Super Yacht. Thanks for sharing the very clean mechanical areas. Definitely something to be proud of.
Great to have Alex and Dom and Eyo (?) cover what they do and happy to hear it said that they keep every facet of the yacht operational, mast head to props and bow thruster. I have to ask if they reason y'all keep them hidden is because you do not want to admit you'd have nothing to do if they didn't do their jobs so well - haha. No I am not in the industry and not an engineer. Just another behind the scenes person who enjoys seeing peers acknowledged.
Two things:
1) The workbench in the engine room. Do they fabricate things at sea? What would be some examples of the kinds of things that would be fixed in there while underway?
2) Need another video on the networking closet. Are you guys running server racks down there or just network switches? Does data get cached on board or telemetry data sent to the cloud in a hybrid solution? Does Yozo run scripts to back things up? The people need to know 😂
yes, we need more about IT stuff!
I'd love to see some more in-depth on maintaining some of the systems on board like changing the oil in the main engines, maintenance on the water makers.
Love your channel, finally something like Below deck but not, and better. Tours with the head of departments, and what they do would also be very interesting. :)
Thanks for finally showing me what my son gets up to at work. Was very interesting. Well done Alex
Awwwe thanks mums. We’ll make sure he invites you to the next Bring your Parents to Work Day.
I work in a Maritime safety center training crews in liferafts/firedrills etc so i would love a video of all your lifesaving equipment and firefighting stuff 🤘 Thanks for great videos👊👊🇦🇽
I have never seen anything like this! Amazing. Now this does really explain why the guest cost is so high. I get it!
Professional and top notch crew with sense of humor to boot. Great job.
That was just fascinating to see the whole engine bay and all its ancillary equipment! It really give you a better understanding to what goes into a yacht of this size! Thank you ever so much and anything else you can show us! Please do! It was also great to see the fun banter that you all have between yourselves! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌
It's amazing that someone actually designed all the equipment and where it was going to be installed , presumably on a computer in the draughtsman stage at the boat yard. A truly interesting video. I'll have to buy a Euro Millions lottery ticket and maybe afford an hours charter. 🤔
Great engineers make a great yacht. Crew and Captain can only work with what they have. Full respect guys.
Superb views of all the engineering going on down below. Excellent stuff, so very impressive! Blair really having fun on the on the trolley 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it!
