Amazing how sophisticated these helm bridges are. Pretty cool, to have all the boats information and functions at your fingertips. I'm looking at having two 12" Garmin monitors for a boat in the 24' to 26' range. My needs are simple, navigation, depth, weather, radar, and fish. The engine info will be on the Yamaha outboards monitor. At least that's the plan.
Bloody amazing. How things have changed, for the better. On my 28 foot mini yacht I had a wheel, 2 throttle controls, 2 transmission mission controls. A pair of tachs. 2 fuel gauges. 2 oil pressure gauges. And a partridge in a pear tree. Extremely interesting video.
Oh you were lucky with fuel gages! On my dad's boat! the fuel tanks had a tube going down the side and you looked at the level! That was on a Grand Banks by the way! ;)
That was fantastic to watch! When I think back to my dad's Grand Banks 42Foot in the 80'S It had radar, radio and an automatic pilot! Oh yes a Compass! That was just wonderful to see thanks so much!! The guy was impressive doing that in a second language! Well done to him too! Your presentation was excellent!
Hello Captain, absolutely amazing experience brings this video. Fantastic and very modern technology for super yachts. I’m missing the Monaco Yatch Show, but you have done an excellent job transmitting this knowledge for all of us. Thanks for the update.
Very well explained and an amazing versatile setup. Very easy to clean as well. Just a question : are they still required to have an analog backup as well, in case of an electrical failure?
@@HyperSarcasticAvocado For such instances, do systems have backup controls or manual functions? Not specific to updates. Just faults or issues that may require rebooting. Can the bridge reboot while engineering continues independently? I would imagine some kind of redundancy involved for safety, but it could just be that the interfaces have redundancy, but not the system.
@@oa127 I am not really an expert but yeah, they do have lots of backup systems (even in fire or flood) and are supposed to have manual control. But this was on a construction vessel with 8 sets of thrusters meant to stay in an exact position regardless of the conditions. Thankfully this was just while they tested the system before getting to work. This is not technology used on private yachts though.
These computers can go months or even years without a reboot. They are turned off only when the ship is out of water and everything is shut down. In cases of yacht, I suppose they also shut down when in long time berths.
Interesting setup, few new features compared to what is now on the market. Where is the heads up display? Where is the heading voice control for autopilot? Where is the on window AIS target tracking? That you call Crazy Technology.
I didn‘t know I am able to understand Italian, amazing.. 😆 just kidding, cool presentation, impressive stuff. „Wi ken menegie da screen wite dis trackeball..“ totally love it
Very cool instrumentation panel but I hope you can adjust the time to hold the button to switch panels because 3 seconds can be a long time in an emergency. It makes it feel like the screens aren't very responsive. The same with adjusting the screen brightness. It might not seem like a long time to do a task in a single demonstration but if you have these kind of delays constantly while you're working it will eventually become frustrating and you'll be wishing for an older style analogue control panel
"Glass bridges look good but you want redundant single piece equipment somewhere else on the bridge". A statement of the past or does it still hold true?
Who generally services/fixes/upgrades Furuno and other marine electronics? Does Furuno have an in-house team, or have a select group of service partners, the way Dell contracts out with third-party field techs?
Hi! First of all always great videos! Thank you! I was wondering if for true exploration yacht, would it be the same? Or would they want less digital,wireless commands?
Cool, but looks a bit clunky for me. I would like to see some custom presets for each monitor as well as situational and personal presets to set all monitors at once. This hold for 3 seconds is so mid 20's. I rather see an ellipsis on each function that allows me to tap, then select the monitor. Much quicker. And whats with the trackballs? I rather see the monitors much closer (and wider) and use touchscreens to select deeper items. If the bottom panel was cleaned up, it could be half as tall.
Guarantee you that most of the time the owner/captain will set all those screens ONE way and leave them. And woe unto any watchstander that messes up the config that the captain wants. Most crew are going to use those 5 screens from the station in front and not swap them around like that. Probably have one screen (either port or starboard) used to toggle the less common stuff and the rest will never vary.
@@visionist7 Most of the computers aren't, but some need to be. Like those flying planes and driving trains. So I wonder where on the scale are private superyachts.
Not really all that different from a boat I worked on in 2005. I work in aviation, we have similar setups, and what always worries me about this type of panel set up is the failure modes.
What I'm saying is that if you're in aviation: the failure is going to take place on an ILS in snow and ice and moderate turbulence at night, and if you're on a superyacht it's going to take place in 40 knot winds with a 6-foot beam sea in the rain in a high-traffic lane at night, so have your independent backups planned out ahead of time. No matter what your captaining, it's always best to be a cheerful pessimist.
@@helibob2367 every bridge I've ever seen in a video has a standard compass somewhere. I expect most controls (throttle, steering, etc) are by-wire likely on dedicated circuits. I've seen some videos where there is an auxiliary wheel & throttles down in engineering for backup though that seems to be only on really really big yachts.
Please detail the Engineering Department. Personnel, interaction with manufacturers. Do manufacturer or dealer personnel visit the yacht on site or do you move to their designated port?
Very interesting! Hits one of my big three's for yacht videos, which are bridge, engine room and crew quarters. Of course videos of yacht crew quarters are as rare as hen's teeth, unfortunately.
Gyros stabilisers mate. Where do you see it going for white boats? Having experienced them on smaller -60ft sport fishing boats I’m an absolute convert........ Fodder for an episode maybe?
As impressive as that looks, all of that networking and computer work just begs the question: What is the lag? From the moment you command the prop until you see the RPM move vs the reality is something I'd really be curious about with these digital systems. I'm sure it's something they take into account but can they match the instrument clusters of old (analog?) and do they ever get laggy? Surely my concern must be silly given the level of quality that must be present but I can't help but look at all those computers and wonder how responsive everything is and *perhaps more importantly* how it functions during emergencies. Would love to see how masters handle different types of emergencies on a digital bridge like this (and how it compares to older setups).
I’ve worked on a ship in the offshore industry with a partial furuno bridge and although we had Controllable Pitch propulsion the RPMs rise virtually instantly, even in the Engine Control Room they had full electronic displays and touch screens and there was never an issue. The ship was an ERRV (Emergency Rescue Response Vessel) though, so perhaps special care had been put in during the build to ensure quick reaction was possible, I imagine the reactivity is actually down to the engines themselves or their management system. For the thrusters, ballast/cargo pumps they all reacted instantly as well zero lag.
This guy sucks! No offense. I love your channel. Its awesome. My father was a Yacht Broker out of Connecticut. My favorite yacht of all time is Yacht "TIS". I am obsessing over how I could buy that yacht (or one like her) one day. The Mega-Russian Oligarch, Entrepreneur Industrialist Investor who owns it now is likeoy worth around $5-10 billion. If you think about it, since he is in the massive business of mineral escavation and International fencing maybe he can use these yachts to help when he travels all around the world. Who knows... LOL>>> ANYWAYYSA ...backa...toa...thissa... guyya... fromma... Furuno. I would rather hear more about what each system does. Its fascinating potentially. BUT he keeps saying over and over how easy it is to click around. Who gives a shit!! Talk about the actual capabilities of what these Furuno systems can actually do (versus 10 or 40 years ago!). Jesus H Christ!!! Anyway, kudos to your yacht channel. My about say shitt about Meryl Wood & Associates. I used to say "dad why the Hell don't you just advertise in these major magazine like he does"??? So... what did i do? I did ASMDVEETISE! and now a own over a $100 million company (started out of bedroom back in 1997). Hopefully to buy yacht TIS after her price comes way down and the value of my company goes way way up!. Hahaha, sure. In my dreams. I will try thiugh...hard! You really need to be a billionaire to comfortably own a yacht like TIS. Even if you charter her a few times a year. They are so expensive to operate. At 10% yearly (off gross) it's a monstricity. Anyways Mr ESysman...Happy Holidays!!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
They would be better integrating the bridge into 2 screens only! or use AI to interoperate what the Captain wants at any situation! This is ridiculously complicated for no reason.
It’s very simple compared to older bridges. You can’t have Two screens as there are more than one person on the bridge and you need redundancy in case of failure.
Legislation does not allow a setup like this to have only 2 screens. Assuming paperless sailing, 2 ECDIS stations, 1 X-radar, 1 conning, 1 alarm system which may act as a spare for others. So 5 at least.

WOW, great technology and very well presented by the representative. Endless customizations possibilities and information at your fingertips.
Obviously a manual back up system in case of total electrical power cut. Need a qualification from MIT to operate that. Great video thanks.
It’s like piloting the space station 🚉👍🏼

ottima descrizione di un binomio eccezionale
👍 Thanks mate, excellent!
How often do the control operating systems need to be rebooted? Can the ship be rebooted while underway?
I know that there have been instances where automatic updates have shut down some of the systems before because they forgot to turn those off.
@@HyperSarcasticAvocado For such instances, do systems have backup controls or manual functions? Not specific to updates. Just faults or issues that may require rebooting.

Furuno lost the race on navigation systems... still keyboard and mouse needed!!! Hellooo !!
Furuno makes great marine electronics, however they can be a bit expensive compared to other marine electronics.
Amazing!
"Glass bridges look good but you want redundant single piece equipment somewhere else on the bridge". A statement of the past or does it still hold true?
Should be. Even in aircraft, with the fanciest of glass cockpit u would still find backup instrument at eye level
🙏 Thank you Sensei

Thank you for this very informative video. Do you know for many years it can be good and we the boat owner need to upgrade this system, please?
Hi! First of all always great videos! Thank you!
I was wondering if for true exploration yacht, would it be the same? Or would they want less digital,wireless commands?
I'm now waiting for the video game controller to be integrated for the younger captains.

I expect they do sadly. Computers are never reliable
@@visionist7 Most of the computers aren't, but some need to be. Like those flying planes and driving trains. So I wonder where on the scale are private superyachts.
Would have liked to see more questions / explanatory information, e.g. 8:38, throughout.
Great & interesting video. Funny and random that the screen is showing a map of eastern Denmark out of all places. :)
Check up Akbars (space jet shuttle) - th-cam.com/video/9KzVHOKnth4/w-d-xo.html
Tech specs are incredible -
Speed: 75 km/h
Distance: 1100 km (autonomy 24 hours)
Engines: 2X MTU, water jet system,
etc
by the time its ordered and installed it become out of date ready for upgrade
What sort of costs are we talking about? Lets say one wanted to upgrade his/her yacht can this be done with this equip to any yacht?
Nice video! How do you guys usually split up the watch teams underway? 6 hour watches 3 sections?
I think it's "generally" 4 hours on, 8 hours off. That way they are doing the same time shift. During charters, they work extra.
It's nice but too much-integrated software for me. For sure I'd want a backup system. Keep things simple!
Not really all that different from a boat I worked on in 2005. I work in aviation, we have similar setups, and what always worries me about this type of panel set up is the failure modes.
@@rogerblackwood8815My point was: Do you see any "steam gauges" On that bridge panel?
