"This should be a yacht of about 80 feet. It should be considered a large yacht. The manufacturer is Fratelli of Italy. They are an old yacht manufacturer. They have been hand-customizing yachts and sailboats for nobles from all over the world since the 19th century." Pawei Station
He glanced from the bow to the stern and casually recounted a bunch of data.
"Don't talk about feet, I can't convert, talk about metric." Hong Tao is most annoyed by the Canadian calculation units. They are all in imperial system, and you can make mistakes if you don't pay attention.
"About 24 meters!" Before Pavey could convert it, Irene had already completed the calculation. It seemed that people who were gifted in language should also be good at math.
"Well, that's pretty much it, but when building a ship, it was calculated in feet. When converted into meters, there should be a decimal point." Pawei was unwilling to use a unit of measurement that he was not used to, and was still trying to convince Hong Tao.
"We don't plan to build a ship, Mr. First Mate, go on." Hong Tao didn't care if he was in trouble or not.
"The yachts manufactured by this Italian company are all high-end, and most of the equipment is made of top-notch products. You see, this steering gear is from the British company Lewmar, which is the best electric anchor windlass manufacturer in the world.
Very stable." In order to prove his argument, Pawei knelt on the deck again, opened the small hatch cover, and pointed to a round metal object below for Hong Tao and the others to see.
Not to mention, there are specialties in the art, and there is indeed a line of English letters on the metal object, which is basically the same as what Pawei said. It seems that this fat old man is not a foodie, and he must be a bit serious to be able to get into the position of first mate.
ability.
"How fast can that boat go?" Hong Tao was not very interested in these mechanical devices. His concept of the boat only focused on preliminary data such as speed and range.
"This is not sure, but I estimate that the fastest speed does not exceed 30 knots, and the average speed is about 20 knots. This depends on its engine performance, but yachts generally do not go too fast. In order to pursue stability and comfort, the yacht's
Their body proportions are relatively small, so they can't run fast." Pavey did not give an exact number this time. He just made a rough estimate.
"Hey, Captain, how's it going up there?" Pavey said as he suddenly raised his head and asked Old Gale who was standing on the second floor.
"It's a very nice little toy. You should come up and have a look." Old Gale still had the same calm and unlucky character, as if everything was under control.
"Wow, sitting on the sofa and steering the ship. This is what Italians can think of. They are all experts in eating, drinking and having fun." Pawei led Hong Tao and the others up to the second floor. As soon as their heads appeared, Pawei let out an exclamation.
He also made fun of the Italians.
"Holy shit, is this sofa made of real leather?" Hong Tao then climbed up to the second-floor platform. Only then did he realize that there is something special here. The first thing that caught his eye was a large beige corner sofa with very fine workmanship.
It's not the kind of stuff made in Xianghe Furniture City.
"It should be artificial. The sea is very corrosive. Natural leather is difficult to maintain and generally no one will use it." Pawei taught Hong Tao another lesson.
"That's not bad. The view here is really good. It's so nice to sit here and sail the boat, with the beauty Irene sitting next to me, and have a cold beer. These millions are really not wasted." Hong Tao likes the layout here very much.
, in front of the sofa is the open-air driving platform with a retractable awning. On the other side of the sofa is a small wine cabinet with an independent small refrigerator underneath.
"How is it, Hong Tao. Is this boat enough? I don't understand this thing. You have to watch it carefully, otherwise there will be no place to find repairs after going to sea." At this time, the fat boss also climbed up from below. These stairs were very difficult for him.
It was a very difficult challenge for my weight, and I could hardly breathe evenly.
"I haven't looked at this yet. Pawei, please quickly check to see if all the navigation equipment is complete, and then see if there are any fish finders or anything like that." Hong Tao didn't know much about boats, so it would be better to ask an expert to learn about these things.
"I've seen it all. Leisong's navigation system is very good, and the maritime compass is also complete. There are two fish finders. This thing should be an underwater camera. I'm not very good at playing with it." Old Gale was standing at this time.
In front of the bridge, he was fiddling with the instruments on the bridge one by one.
"That should be no problem. He used to be the captain of the Canadian Navy. If he says it, it will be done." Although Hong Tao is not used to Old Gale's style, he has no prejudice against the key points of his professional knowledge.
The more rigid a person is, the more reliable he is.
"Our team is full of talents, including people who fly warships! The only missing one is one who can fly a plane, hahahaha." When the fat boss heard that there were people from the navy here, he made a mental calculation and put it into his stomach.
Yes, I just made a joke.
"There are also people who fly planes. Look at that bearded man. He is a pilot of the Canadian Army and flies a fighter jet." Hong Tao quickly added after hearing what the fat boss said.
"Ah! I don't have anywhere to get a plane." The fat boss didn't expect that there was actually a pilot. There was nothing to talk about today. He didn't care that he was tired and rolled down the stairs again.
Not to mention professionals, they are professionals. As soon as they got on the ship, old Gale and Pawe were as if they were back at home. They knew all the facilities and equipment on the ship. Originally, the second brother of the fat boss wanted to take everyone to visit the whole place.
Gradually, he also became an audience, and Pawei took everyone on a tour, while Old Gale was in charge of conducting, and Irene and Hong Tao were in charge of translating.
With these two professionals, the second brother of the fat boss also opened his eyes. Pawei not only moved every cabin of the ship, but also the engine room, fresh water tank, oil tank, etc. that ordinary people would not care about.
We also made a detailed assessment of the location, and finally Hui and Old Gale gave an assessment: the ship is a good ship, but the maintenance is average, and the maintenance is too poor!
But the second brother of the fat boss was very happy. He finally met someone knowledgeable, especially Hong Tao who selectively translated for him the evaluation of the ship by Old Gale and Pavey, removing those critical comments.
, and it gave him a feeling that our money was not wasted.
According to the assessment of Old Gale and Pavey, this boat is about 24 meters long and less than 6 meters wide. It is considered a large fast yacht. Since it is equipped with a 1,200-horsepower Japanese Yanmar Engine supercharged direct-injection diesel engine,
Therefore, the power is relatively strong, and the fuel consumption is relatively low. It is estimated that the driving speed can be maintained at about 27 knots, the maximum speed can reach 40 knots, and the endurance is about 400 nautical miles.
This boat is not a qualified fishing boat, but a pure cruise boat. Its main function is to provide comfortable long-distance sailing at sea, so the boat is not equipped with trolling brackets and various fishing devices. However, in order to meet the needs of customers, this boat
The Italian company simply gave the ship
It installed 4 detachable fishing brackets and 2 fish finders, and changed the original 2000 liter fresh water tank into two independent 800 liter fresh water tanks, one of which can open the seabed valve and turn into a live fish.
cabin, so that it can meet the requirements of some customers for sea travel and fishing.
In addition, the Italian company also equipped the yacht with a 60-liter-per-hour seawater desalination equipment to make up for the lack of fresh water in the fresh water tank. It can be said that it has gone to great lengths to meet the customer's requirements. This service
The quality is so high, I have nothing to say.
But these equipment alone are not worth 27 million. In fact, it is just like buying a house. The hull, power, and navigation are all dead. It is like a rough house, and the price is definitely not that high. But you can’t live in a rough house.
, it still needs to be decorated, so various optional components come in, just like our decoration kit.
The second brother of the fat boss is a standard bumpkin. He can still drink less than half a bottle. When he bought the boat, it was through a British company registered in Hong Kong. Although they didn't cheat him, they still cheated him.
Some small tricks, for example, in these optional items, the other party did not specifically state that many things can be left out, so the price of the ship will drop a lot, and if you don't have half, you have to have one-third.
As a result, the second brother and his two partners asked someone to sell them a yacht with top configuration and all the equipment at the highest price.
But then again, if you don’t spend money, as long as you are not deceived and passed off as good quality, then you get what you pay for. If nothing else, let’s talk about all the wood products on this boat.
Starting from the deck, all the way to the kitchen furniture and the handrails in the bathroom, they are all made of high-quality teak and cherry wood.
