This yacht was built for one man, and his exacting detail and vision of a yacht that he could live on 24/7. He outfitted this 42 metre yacht with his very particular personal preferences and then not long after the yacht was delivered - tragedy...

At the time of his death, he was living his dreams. Bravo!
The spelling in the name is Audace, he was Italian so it is taken from the latin/Roman convention of using a 'V' to stand for 'U' because if you're carving in stone or on a tablet it is a heck of a lot easier to do straight lines! This also explains why we call W "double-you" and not "double-vee".
You are correct. U was introduced to Latin in a hand-written script in the 2nd century. At the time, U and V were the same letter in Latin. Whether you curved the bottom or used a sharp angle was a matter of style. The 2 forms coexisted for more than 1000 years. However, it doesn't make sense in this case because Audace is Italian, not Latin. In Latin, it would be Audacia.
@@blah163 it's apeing the 1920s - 1940s Italian architectural style where the U was always replaced with a V on buildings with carved letters. Nearly all of them had lettering and most survive to the present day.
While i agree V was used for U your reasoning seems lacking. There are lots of curved letters it doesn't seem reasonable to only change the U and none of the other letters. Here are some that come to mind.
B C D G O P Q R S
A positive thing to take from his sad passing: no regrets. To commission his own bespoke yacht and to live aboard was clearly what he most wanted, and he did it.
No doubt.
Nice vessel. Sad the owner could not enjoy it longer. Me personally, I would do the same thing if I had a yacht like that- I’d live on it 24/7 as well
wow, what a nice vessel. If I could afford it, I would love to spend a few years on sea exploring the world. How sad, the owner wasn't really able to enjoy the life he dreamt of..
But clearly those dreams, too, are real even if only mostly private and internal in the enjoyment.
He was a man of straightforward tastes, his purposeful liveaboard values practicality and versatility.
You presented a very respectful appreciation of his yachting choice and the man himself.
Well done on the presentation, not an easy one to get right. Nice editing and production too. Great to see the channel coming along leaps and bounds.
Agree - poignant ending - nice 🙂
What a sad story 😥 - but as always great presentation of the yacht and it's background. Thanks!
AVDACE was custom built by Cantiere delle Marche in Ancona, Italy. According to the 2022 Explorer Yacht Summit, CdM is the first Explorer Yachts builder in the world by total LOA produced with 800+ meters... Anyway, this is a very cool and unique vessel and very sad story. Thank you eSysman.
CdM will build me my yacht. Eventually.
Very thoughtful that you skipped the request for likes or subs at the end. Well done....as always.
As a man that loves fishing in Alaska this yacht looks like the perfect platform for that purpose. You could launch a large fishing boat and have incredible comfort went back on the yacht. And as expiration yacht it should be perfect for that environment.
So you need Wellington boots, a couple of rods, bait and oh yes, this 26 million dollar boat!!
What a great Yacht!!! Thanks for showing it off to us!
Audace - Italian for brave, bold, daring, audacious. I assume the "U" was stylized as a "V" as the Roman alphabet did not have different characters for V and U.
Correct
Yes this is a very sad story. He must have been looking forward to many years exploring the world, poor guy RIP. ANOTHER great episode Sysman, thank you 👍👍
Despite the tragic aspect of this yacht's story regarding the original owner, I couldn't help smiling at eSysman's comment that this boat "is the perfect size for me, ha ha". Can't find fault with that sentiment. Great content here, great production and great presentation by eSysman, as usual. I never miss a post. Top-shelf channel. Cheers.
A beauty on it's own the yacht and what a sad story behind.
Thanks for doing a video on this boat. I noticed it in your MYS videos and it was the one vessel that I was most curious about from that series!
Thanks, that was quite a special story. More like that will go down well I hope.
I’m not into yachts etc but your professionalism, your journalistic excellence make every visit quite rewarding!
Very nice presentation of a sad story.
So often I look at the sort of crass excess of the yachts you talk about and think gosh what bling - but this feels so much like someone’s search for their perfect - I bet the process bought huge satisfaction even if the dream could not be fulfilled
I agree.
Well said and VERY true. This ship appears to have a lot more personality and warmth than ANY of those “bling” yachts out there. Lol, this is easy to say when I’ll never have either kind, and while I’m sure I would appreciate either; this has that “home” feeling to it that I would prefer, and I’m sure anyone would love as well. The fact he doesn’t have the typical helipad on it, (to me) shows his priorities were right! That says “when I’m on it, nothing is ‘helicopter urgent’”. 😊 “Whatever the problem is, it and you, will HAVE to wait until we dock”! Man, I’d so love to live life like that. 👍☮️
26, ooo, ooo ? Buy it! You deserve it...imagine how much fun that would be !
Thank you for the story!
Sad that it was a tragic one, but very interesting to hear.
He also has an appreciation for Aviation.
Best to you Scott Whitmire 🇺🇸
I think this shows your program cares about people not just Yachts . I figured that out very early. Keep up the great work
Great story, and such a sad end.
Another super interesting video....I keep coming back to your channel for alot of reasons but I really appreciate you stick to the storyline and don't get caught up in sharing opinions about the ships or their owners or the design. So many people think today that opinions are important, they are not. But, I keep coming back for the storylines...Thanks E-Man!
Nice video Sir. Like stories. We all do. Keep the story telling up. First class. PS I was a Nordhavn man and was eyeing up an N62 when I was selling my business. Well that never happened. Long story - and in any case, this would have been about $20M too much but perfect.
I like this yacht a lot. Very industrial lines. 😊👍😘
Respectful presentation. Just goes to show, life can be short and you can’t take it with you.
Ngl, that definitely sounds like living the dream. If I was going to custom build a live aboard yacht it would probably come out pretty similar, but with more car space cause I would be bereft leaving any of my babies behind! On the other hand, taking my vintage Lancia anywhere near saltwater would be a death sentence 😥
Very interesting story and yacht!
Respectful intro/outro, well done!
Perfect yacht, what else do you need? Got room a car to boot, I'd add an ADV bike for sure.
Yes! Sad! That's why one should try to live as though each day is your last. Hard to do when you're a working stiff.
That is a sad story. Its fairly unusual for someone that young to die from a heart attack. Having said that I had a minor heart attack at 50. The doctor who saw me said he had never seen anyone so young suffering from a heart attack. Now I'm 72 and quite healthy. I would encourage anyone over 50 to get regular cardio treadmill stress tests.
I hope he really enjoyed the ship before his passing and what a stunning ship it is would love to see an inside tour one day
MY Carinthia VII has also a parking space for a bulletproof bentley on board.
Great video, really enjoying this type of harbor walk/talk videos.
This is much more interesting(and in this case very sad) than listening to greedy b..stards having their ill-gotten gains taken from them
No one knows what life holds; take advantage of it while you can. Two heart stents at 58 and this is my mindset.
Excellent and thoughtful presentation.
RIP Mr Merloni.
Verry nice guy Andrea. RIP
I like that it's a 'Super Trawler' look, which seems a more practical use of space that the super-sleek low-slung look of many yachts. To me, it's a more appealing design.
Not to sure about the extra deck on the vessel! I think that is why he had an extra 4 metres added?
A good story with this video, if not sad. Hopefully he has extended family that will benefit from the sale. Love the Port Authority building, just in front of the Yacht. When you pan away 8.40, the building must command a great view and very simple in design.
Tragic story. A beautiful yacht. Would like you to take a tour inside it if possible
That's my style of yacht if I were ever to afford such a vessel.
I remember seeing this yacht for sale a couple years ago then it was off the market. Yes it’s a beautiful yacht with a bit of a sad story but he had a vision of what he wanted and he brought it to life it’s unfortunate he wasn’t able to enjoy it more. But who ever buys this yacht I’m sure they will enjoy it.
A very good and interesting story.
Very well spoken
Sad story.... Looks like the safe vaccine got another life 😩
I was wondering when this subject would come up. Maybe he had it. I did but only once. I nearly died. Never again.
@@johnshaw8327 Yup, I had a Heart Attack 3 weeks after 1sr dose, then suffered 5 months of chest pains (Myocarditirs)
We have to admire a person who had worked hard to have a family and business. Then also have made real for himself what he always wanted to have and do. My respects and condolences to his family and friends. 🛳️⚓
Really great video. Thank you for the story
What a shame he didn't get to enjoy it more. I love the architecture; it has a riverboat look at the top.
Lovely yacht. I'd worry the superstructure is a bit tall for stability. Wasn't there a problem with some of the yachts you featured a couple of years ago about the centre of gravity being too high? I love Merloni's thinking about privacy - shame he didn't live longer.
I have the same questions. I was thinking that this could be a bad design when dealing with stormy oceans, but as I’m going on zero actual knowledge, I was hoping someone could answer. As a captain on this ship, would one not feel as confident due to the high center, or is the width and length proportionate enough to offset that? Could that possibly be the reason for the refit and additional length that was added? Anyone able to answer this?
Nice touch to a tragic story...nice job!
Wow..the owmer built his dream explorer and had some time to spend on it. We can only guess he worked his entire life and did not marry and have kids
Hi's yatching passion will be remembered and talked about for a long time
A heart stress test is a must starting at 50.. .just to make sure there arent any hidden blood clots waiting to activate
it is very sad that he did not get to enjoy it more, but then! He did have a year on board it! So Well done to him and now R.I.P 😥
Thats tragic for a private modest guy whom has done well for himself to pass away at a young age.
Unlike the crassness of Putrid's thieving Orc's
Obviously agreed as to totally bandit system of 'wealth distribution' in Russia, but as for Mr Merloni - it's very hard not to 'do well for yourself' when you are born into a family which controls a business empire.
@@maciejguzek3442 Ahh I didn't look into him,, family or the wealth. Albeit born into wealth he didn't appear to flout it with his privacy wanting to live on his yacht unlike the orc's, i find this sad
Never know when our end comes, some too soon. Great yacht, needs a transom drive on off fold down?
I know I’ve watched too many yacht videos when my reaction to the $26 000 000 price tag is “wow! That seems reasonable.”
There is a time-lapse build of the boat. Avdace Varo - Floating life international.
Fascinating story, but such a sad ending 😓
Fabulous, and very sad.
YaY, Yacht Living News!!
CDM build some very impressive expedition yachts and this yacht is no exception, it certainly lives up to it's name. In Latin AVDACE is pronounced AUDACE as Latin only had 23 letters, in English it means Boldly.
I remember seeing a yacht that was offloading a Mercedes SLR and a Rolls Royce back in 2005 or 2006 in Monaco. I lived nearby in Beaulieu Sur Mer. I even saw one of Abramavich's yachts that had a very large sail boat on the yacht.'
Strange coincidence to watch this right now, my mother just bought an Indecit refrigerator. R.I.P. Merloni.
THANKS ESYSMAN , FOR SHARING THIS STORY SAD,BUT TRUE …no one is guaranteed tomorrow 😞💚💚💚
That's so sad 😥 What a young age to go. I think it's a lovely yacht to live on, I'd jump at the chance to live at sea 😊 Pretty cheap to buy too. Not that I could afford it lol
Didn't have kids.....poor bloke
R.I.P Mr Merloni
What a great design. Obviously this owner gave this a good deal of thought. At least he got to see his dream being built. Sounds like an interesting person. If I were going to own a yacht for any real length of time I think this is the type of yacht I would want
Sad story, but a great presentation of it.
"u" didn't exist in the latin alphabet and was written "v", hence "Avdace". So it is just fancy writing for the cool, cultural guys 🙂
Nice ship Got journalism
Magnificent Boat. This man knew what he wanted. Just didn’t have the time. So sad he passed.
What a sad outcome, but he clearly enjoyed the last years of his life living the dream. Still too young, but as they say, that's life, I guess. My uncle died at 53, he never got to live his dream, so I guess this guy at least did that.
In Latin, the U and V are written as V. Maybe that is where the V is comming from.
May the blessings be
Nice edit chief.👍
Anchored for a couple of nights right next to it in the south of Ibiza in the summer of 21. Looked it up and then some local told me the story of his top deck residence. Of course his explanation is he threw wild parties in the rest but wanted no one else at his quarters. Didn’t know the guy passed. Sad, because little exploration was really done on it. You got to love CdM yachts.
I contradict you. I've been on this yacht twice, there were tasteful parties in Ibiza. I met the owner and he left the impression of a very modest man, with good sense and balance, but also daring.
a special man, of great value. he also owns a small boat, which he let us explore the area, Formentera, with one of his employees. he really loved to travel with this boat.
I probably won't experience climbing on other yachts again, but many people are still mourning this good man who went up.
I know that he behaves very nicely with his employees, (all Italians) and even helps their families.
peace Andrea Merloni. 09.11.2020
Being a type-A personality brings its own risks. A lot of people aspire to this sort of success but there are a lot of hidden downsides.
There is another yacht that has a car on it, even an amphibious car. That is Picchiotti‘s Exuma.
Apologies if this has already been said below but I think you will find Audace better translates as Daring and better sums up the man who did exactly what I would have done with similar means.
What a beautiful boat, and so tastefully decorated. The Edmiston listing shows the tender located next to the crane in the bow section, but I'll take your word for it that it transports a Land Rover.
Yes, they moved the tender there as the car has been removed from the yacht.
Love the yacht tours
We will all die one day, so don't mourn my passing. Celebrate it. For I now know the secret, and you still don't. (Simpsons Nelson Muntz) Ha Ha ....
The last thing you want is " someone rifling through your private areas "....and FYI: MOST heart attacks occur at age 53.
Nice looking, I am going to go and check my money tree, it may need a little more attention.
I think V is used instead of U in Roman inscriptions. On the cover of my copy of I Claudius the Emperor's name is spelt Clavdivs.
At least he did it his own way. Too many people just go with standard designs,, choose size by what their budget is, and do little more than a bit of floorplan modification, maybe toy selection, and a lot of interior decorating. It will find a buyer. Though if it were me buying it, I'd want to see how it handles in heavy seas, it looks pretty susceptible to trouble on the roll axis.
Well what you know, someone so rich he could afford the yacht but unlike the rest, he used his vessels looking to pack as much into life as possible due to his family situation. Most if not all who can afford that money, don't have the ability to make decisions like this. They just look to hoard the money or use it as something to show off with. This guy built a home to sail the seas, how many people dream of just sailing all the seas? Realised he couldn't take it with him so used it to enjoy his passions in life. It's a pity the ending is as it is, 50 odd, most of us expect another 20 years on that. Hope the new owner actually uses it, at least the one man's dream doesn't go to waste as some sort of trinket.
These video's are exactly why I started following eSysman when he only had a couple of 000's subscribers, I love these wandering commentaries. Great stuff.
You said the only other MY you kno that carries a car, is the Nord. Yet one of your other videos, there was a Ferrari parked on a deck at Monaco. You even said he had a second car that is sometimes there instead. Or were they only there for looks and not actually carried by the yacht? Or was this that yacht?
Arisottle onassis had cars on board there is a picture of him driving a beach car that looked light to lift on board
And also the gettys would of had cars on board and most probably a riva,
The nouveau riche
Are trying to imitate that
In archaic Italian the U letter did not exist and therefore the V was used instead.
Nowadays we still find the V in place of U in many official, institutional writings
A sad touching story of someones’ dreams.... we should never stop dreaming. Very nice video. Thank you.
I believe there is a Nordhavn that had a Mini onboard, not sure of the size, but significantly smaller than 42 metres.
Live while we are living.
Tragic ending? Perhaps more ironic.
"the futures uncertain............. the end is always near"
Beautiful boat, for sure.
Nice ship. Did you take the drone shots - excellent stuff.
Well done, love this informative type of vid, nix the death. Though it was handled well. A friend of mine works down in Miami doing custom paint work in Power Boat Alley for Apache. I've ridden in several and understand the desire for the looks on these types of power boats. But I'd rather have something like this, (explorer), then the standard fare. Either more room on the same size or the same on something smaller. Seriously, unless it's at a show how many people actually get to see them.
