I was looking for that comment 😀

I'm glad I'm not the only one. 😄

I’m afraid that it’ll take a million dollars every year just to keep its decks clean and its paint shiny, right? Pocket change for the filthy rich crooks of this world, but for the honest working stiffs it’s an absolute impossibility. It takes quite a few millions dollar per year just to crew and maintain a yacht like this, besides the 12 mill purchase price. Ya gotta be a billionaire to afford this kind of toys !

@@hereintranzit Yes it should be around 10% maintenance cost per year of the original value.

Agreed. He was one of the most talented naval architects.

Loved Police Car!

I believe they closed down unfortunately.

@@chippyjohn1 you could be right .last time i heard they were not doing superyacht construction due to a market slowdown some years ago and were now doing commercial marine construction of medium sieze

Built just up the road from where I live. Shame Alloy yachts went out of business.

They were 5 min from our warehouse home,I applied for a job there,but was told,no experience didn't help.

I did most of the veneer work on this yacht and also lived just up the road from Alloy Yachts, best job ever.

this is minimal

What would you have prefered to see?

Specifically to bother you, I'd guess.

Yanks like ownership. It's a feeling of entitlement and sales telling another that something is 'theirs' like another country, or the oil fields within that country.

I just had to reply to this. For transparency I get NO cut if a sale results from this video. I DO get paid a commission for new business that I bring to N&J, the brokerage firm I represent. I DO get paid for producing videos for N&J and for their exclusive access to this KZfaq channel. With regards to your comment about the "old saleswoman"; Annie Avery is a legend in the industry. She is known and respected by just about every broker, irrespective of who they work for. This respect has been earned through her incredible knowledge, experience, and success in selling some sizeable yachts. She may be older than me or (maybe) you, but her energy is astonishing. I shall be filming another yacht that she represents in a few days so I spoke to her over the phone yesterday to get a better understanding of the vessel. I couldn't stop her from explaining every last detail and sales point...I have never met a broker with so much knowledge of large sailing yachts; by the way when we spoke over the phone she was on a lengthy trip to the West coast visiting clients and viewing yachts. I have nothing but respect and affection for her...so less of the "old saleswoman" please!

@@Yachtsforsaleblog I respect YOUR respect, but please do understand that we Europeans prefer to be served by knowledgeable brokers who don't look as if they could do with a hair transplant or a facelift. I lived in the US for a while and was astonished that my Dentist thought it an honour for his 80 year old dad (a dentist also) to be working on my daughter's teeth. Needless to say I asked for him to refrain from taking appointments with me and my family. I know many older brokers and they are ALL versed into HOW TO SELL rather than WHAT to sell. Whether you like it or not, they are ALL salespeople with ne objective in mind. The world would be a better place without them. I sold my yachts by word of mouth and a commission for the person who introduced me to the buyer. The vessels sell themselves. To have someone breathing down your neck saying that this is UNIQUE opportunity to own an "Alloy Yacht" is out of place and pretty pushy. Good luck for you and this well respected woman.... BUT: Please don't try and make me believe that you are doing all this work for NOTHING apart from the KZfaq revenue ... It just doesn't make sense. (And yet you say you do all this for nothing. LOL).

I didn't say that at all. I said I DO get paid a commission on new business that I bring to the company, and I DO get paid for producing videos. I ALSO get paid adrevenue from KZfaq and I occasionally get paid sponsorship from yacht builders, such as with the recent video of the X-Treme 105. I have a feeling that with such deep prejudices based on age and appearance that whatever I say will make little difference though...

@@Yachtsforsaleblog How right you are. All sales representatives are the same. Slippery language that takes experience to understand. Your above comment is light years from the first and yet for you it means the same..... Bottom line: Nothing is done if there isn't a carrot at the end of the stick. Cheers.

As someone that is yachting superfan and was such a prolific commenter that I was flown to FLIBS by Denison Yachting. So I know a thing or two about comments. This is pure trolling. First of all, who cares what you get paid. Nobody cares how much or how little you get. You have a job to do that is presenting entertaining videos of yachts for sale. The name or the channel speaks to the nature of what you do. But for someone professing to be a salesman of yachts themselves, something I find circumspect, I can't honestly believe that you never heard of Anne Avery! That's like saying you don't know who Sue Grant is. Everyone tangentially connected to large sailing vessels has heard of Anne...and Sue! Then commenting on her appearance...it must be a hindrance to look like a model all the time and yet remain so humble. I think this comment was a little bit of the 'squeaky wheel' phenomenon. Make a totally inane insulting comment to garner attention. Pretty sad. But I get it. Not everyone can have David be such a friend that he interrogates a VP of European Sales of another brokerage on your behalf to make sure you aren't being scammed. Keep trying Team 33. Try Denison Yachting with your comments. Maybe they'll invite you to talk to Bob and you can dazzle him with your knowledge and sales expertise. I'm sure he would listen with rapt attention. You do know who Bob is right?
