I worked on the building of this muthafunker, and a few others.
Interesting stat I learned on working in this industry is that the owner use them on average of 11 days a year. The rest of the time the captains moor them at various places around the world, ready to go and/or rent them out. When I finished working in Italy I had arranged to meet a captain and the superyacht in Cannes on my drive home for a week of fun and parties. Once I got to Cannes I was greeted with a message to say that the owner had called them to Barbados
.
Another story of superyacht madness was us working on fairing (preparing for painting) a superyacht in the water at the dock. we usually worked inside so it was a pleasure to work in the sun. The plan was to do one side and then turn the yacht around and do the other. Once we finished we stood on the dock with the owner, the dock staff and our boss and watched the captain turn it around. Unfortunately for everyone, except us, the captain managed to scrape the side of the boat along the dock and undo all the work we had done in the last month. I turned to look at our boss who was desperately trying to hide the smile on his face . . . Kerching.
Lots of Brighton people worked out in Ancona over the years, anyone else on here?
