2019 superyacht tipped

BELOW DECK MED Natasha Webb prior yacht crash details

The entire Below Deck Med Season 7 crew had a harrowing moment early in the charter season when the S/Y Home lurched dramatically after the super yacht’s stabilizers went out. The experience was particularly harrowing for chief stew Natasha Webb because she had a very similar — but much worse — experience on a previous yacht.

“I’ve been on a boat that fell on its side, so I’ve got, like, quite bad PTSD,” Natasha explained soon after the stabilizers were repaired and the clean up had begun. “So this is really screwing with me right now.”

Natasha then shares some specific details about her experience as Bravo shares frightening photos of a large yacht turned on its side beside a dock.

In 2019 I was on a 90-meter yacht, and the boat tipped on its side. I just remember crying, thinking, ‘This is it. I’m going to die.’ I called to start taking names of the crew lists, and people weren’t answering. There were electrical smells, fuel spilling everywhere. I couldn’t even get out of the door; I tried. The crane craned off three people at a time. We were really lucky that nobody died. I’m a person in general to put on a brave face. You carry on. You have no other choice, otherwise, you’re gonna fail.

MY Nero Yacht Crash Details

The superyacht that fell on its side was the 90-meter M/Y Nero. The incident happened at the Amico & Co refit yard in Genova, Italy during drydock operations in September of 2019.

There were initial reports of several people being injured, four of them seriously. However, Dohle Yachts soon issued a press release and clarified that there were no serious injuries:

At 1530 hrs local time on 10th September 2019 at Amico Shipyards Dock number 1 in Genoa during drydocking operations, MY NERO listed to port and came to rest at an angle of about 30 degrees within the dock. The yacht did not contact the dock wall and appears to have suffered only minimal damage though the surveys and inspections are ongoing. There has been no pollution or risk to the environment. The crew safely left the yacht after the incident and there were no serious injuries sustained. As managers of MY NERO we are working closely with the team onboard, the shipyard and all relevant authorities to rectify the situation. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Amico & Co also issued a press release with details about what happened and the injuries sustained by the crew members:

On the 10th September at around 3pm, Motor Yacht Nero, situated in Dry-dock n.1 managed by Ente Bacini in Genoa Port for the purpose of undergoing maintenance works with Amico & Co, listed during the pumping out phase of dry-docking, for reasons that are yet to be ascertained. Emergency services, coastguard, fire services, Ente Bacini and Amico & Co emergency responders intervened immediately. Six crew members sustained slight injuries and were immediately assisted at the dry-dock facility; five of these were taken to the hospital for further tests and were then all released from the hospital during the course of the evening. The vessel is now in a stable condition and inspections and operations to secure it are ongoing.

Information About MY Nero

MY Nero is a spectacular 90-meter superyacht built in 2007, but with an an early 20th century aesthetic. “Inspired by the elegance of the Golden Age of the 1920s, NERO Yacht delivers a refined travel experience where her guests’ relaxation is the destination on every itinerary,” reads the vessel’s website .

More about superyacht Nero from the site:

Artfully modelled after the J.P. Morgan Corsair, NERO Yacht epitomises all the elegance and opulence of the 1920’s era. Commissioned by Neil Taylor, NERO bears a striking resemblance to the Corsair IV, which set sail as a luxury vessel after serving in World War II. This superyacht delivers a refined traveling experience with the classic, lavish aesthetic of 1920s yachting.

According to Burgess Yachts , MY Nero sleeps 12 guests in 6 cabins and features a crew of 12.

Nero can be chartered during the summer months for a weekly rate between $495,000 and $525,000.

How much should you tip crew on a superyacht charter?

It's customary to tip the crew at the end of your luxury yacht charter holiday. So what is the accepted tipping amount? And how should gratuity be given? If you're confused about tipping protocol on board a charter superyacht, read our tipping guide...

What is the accepted amount to tip?

In general, brokers advise tipping between 5 to 20 per cent of the base charter fee, depending on the yacht and the location. It is usually towards the lower end of that scale in the Med and higher in the US and Caribbean .

Are there any official guidelines?

In the 2000s, problems started to arise when generous charterers began to tip 25 per cent or more. The situation became difficult when crews started expecting large tips and were disappointed —sometimes audibly — with lesser amounts.

As a result, the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association (MYBA) issued tipping policy guidelines, which listed 5-15 per cent as the customary range.

These guidelines now seem to have taken hold as the accepted norm and also provide a charterer with a reference point beforehand. By asking your broker if the yacht supports the MYBA recommended guidelines, you’ll know what is expected.

Do I have to tip in cash?

Generally, tips are given in cash to the captain but there are other methods of tipping too. Maggie Vale from Churchill Yacht Partners explains: "If there are Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) funds remaining after the charter, I advise my clients to leave this with the captain, as he is already holding it, then add any amount they would like to that."

"Alternatively, clients can wire gratuity ahead for the broker to hold in escrow to avoid carrying a large amount of cash. After the charter is over, the client will let me know how much to release to the crew (based on any leftover APA) and I can wire the difference back to the client," advises Vale.

How should I decide what percentage to give?

When deciding on what percentage of the base rate to give you should take into account that a charter crew normally works 16-18 hour days from dawn to midnight. As in all aspects of life, a tip should be proportional to the service you have received.

Is there a tipping etiquette?

Yes, all tips should be given directly to the captain so that they can divide the amount out between all the crew. It is important to remember that there may be crew that have worked just as hard as others but have been less visible during your trip.

Can I tip some crew more than others?

Although it maybe be tempting to try and specifically recognise a member of crew that has gone out of their way to make your trip special this is not advised.  All the crew work as a team and therefore should be rewarded as such. Regardless of the size of the tip, it will be distributed across the entire crew anyway.

Yacht life definitely pays.

Week after week on Below Deck , viewers see the crew clean up with giant wads of cash left behind by the charter guests as a "tip" for their work -- and chief stewardess Kate Chastain tells ET, it's not faked for reality TV.

"On a yacht of that size, [a good tip] would be $5,000 a person, for seven days of work," she reveals. "Five grand a crew member, usually. Our charters are a little bit shorter, just so we can make the show, [but] everything else is exactly the same. So, it's prorated. We usually get around $2,500, $2,000. Anything less than $1,000 would be depressing, which sounds crazy, doesn't it?"

Below Deck charters typically last two or three days, but Kate says the crew puts in the equivalent of five days of work to jam-pack the experience with a week's worth of fun.

"We're working not just eight-hour shifts, it's like, we're working pretty much around the clock," she notes. "All the days start to blur together. And during the tip meeting, Captain Lee [Rosbach], will say what we got and I'm always like, 'Is that good? I don’t know anymore… $3,000, are we happy with this?'"

To put this in perspective, those tips are on top of a fee for charting the yachts. Kate previously revealed to ET that it costs about $150,000 a week to take over the ships.

The tips come on top of a regular salary, which differs based on job. A chief stew, reportedly , earns between $62,000 and $75,000 per charter season on a Below Deck -sized yacht (most of the vessels on the show are in the 150-foot range). Second and third stews would make about $50,000 a season, a chef between $70,000 and $95,000, while a captain would earn $120,000 or more, a bosun about $52,000 and deckhands between $40,000 to $52,000.

Kate says there is one part of the tip process seen on the show that might just be for TV -- how the tip is delivered. On the show, the crew stands in line to send off the guests, with the primary charter guest handing over an envelope of cash to Captain Lee. Kate notes that the lineup is standard, but the envelope handoff isn’t.

"There's always a lineup, just 'cause it's polite," she says. "Like, even in Downton Abbey , they all line up. So, I think it's a tradition that’s been around for hundreds of years, but sometimes, I think, instead of traveling with so much cash, they wire the money."

"So, it's not as dramatic," she continues. "But I've had charters where we anchored in the British Virgin Islands, the guests had left, we're eating leftover lobster, drinking leftover champagne, counting our stacks of cash. I felt pretty special at that moment."

Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

• Share via Email

By Katia Damborsky   30 October 2019

Brand new for 2019, FLIBS has unveiled a Superyacht Village at Pier 66 Hotel & Marina. We've rounded up all the superyachts to see if you're heading to the new location, which is easily accessed via water taxi. 

Located adjacent to the Seventeeth Street Causeway Bridge on the Stranahan River, the new Superyacht Village is one of the most exciting additions to FLIBS 2019 .

The waterfront location has the capacity to host superyachts of up to 400ft (121m) and will be split between the water and a dedicated on-land exhibition space, covering a total of 3.5 acres. 

How do I get to the Superyacht Village at FLIBS 2019?

To get to the Superyacht Village at FLIBS 2019, take a water taxi from the main show at Bahia Mar to Pier 66. The pick-up point can be found just before the Sanlorenzo stand. Take the yellow water taxi and the third stop is Pier 66, which is where the Superyacht Village is located. The water taxi journey takes around 10 minutes. 

Around 20 yachts are expected to be on display at the Superyacht Village and its immediate vicinity. We've compiled a round-up of all the must-see yachts at the Superyacht Village at FLIBS 2019.

How Much Does The Below Deck Crew Really Make In Tips?

The cast of Below Deck have the best jobs in the world — even when guests are rude, or things go wrong, they're still on a yacht in the middle of the ocean  (making the reason Abbi Murphy left even harder to understand) . Aside from starring on the hit Bravo show and making an above-average living wage on top of it, the crew enjoys the benefits of tipping from all those high-end clients.

Many things may be faked for the benefit of viewers at home, but the giant wads of cash the crew are left with at the end of each charter seem legit. At least, that's according to chief stewardess Kate Chastain. And, let's face it, nothing gets past her. 

Below Deck yachties can earn thousands in tips

Speaking to ET , the Below Deck stalwart explained that tipping is not just for the cameras. "Our charters are a little bit shorter, just so we can make the show, [but] everything else is exactly the same," she revealed, advising a decent tip on a big yacht would be around $5,000 per person for a week of work. "It's prorated," she said, "We usually get around $2,500, $2,000. Anything less than $1,000 would be depressing, which sounds crazy, doesn't it?"

Bosun João Franco from Below Deck Mediterranean previously told  Cheat Sheet  that crew members can earn up to $45,000 in tip money alone, noting, "On charter boats, tips can be as much as €4,000 [about $4,400] per person, per week and in some cases even more." However, Decider revealed the season 5 crew of Below Deck made a whopping $168,000 in tip money, clearly beating their Below Deck Med buddies, who earned $155,000 for their highest-earning season. 

Kate Chastain's biggest tip jaw-droppingly huge

The crew's regular salary differs, with a chief stew like Chastain earning around $62,000 to $75,000 per charter season, on a Below Deck -sized yacht, according to Crewfinders . Second and third stewards earn about $50,000 per season, a chef between $70,000 and $95,000, a bosun about $52,000, deckhands between $40,000 and $52,000, and captains up to $210,000. That means Captain Lee is really raking it in .

There is one part of the tipping process that's engineered for the show, however, and that's the line-up at the end of the charter, during which the crew anxiously awaits their payment, usually delivered via a fat envelope of cash. "There's always a line-up, just 'cause it's polite. ...But sometimes, I think, instead of traveling with so much cash, they wire the money. So, it's not as dramatic," Chastain advised.

During an appearance on the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, Chastain revealed her biggest tip to date, telling the hosts, "In December of 2013, I made $19,000" over the course of three charters.  

Below Deck: Kate Chastain explains yacht tipping

Last week on Below Deck, Captain Lee Rosbach let the crew know that frat boy Michael and his group left a horrible tip of only $15,000. In one of the first episodes, the charter guests left a $20,000 tip, which the captain deemed a good tip.

The difference between the two tips has caused several social media users to wonder how the yachting tipping process works. Chief stew, Kate Chastain recently chatted with Entertainment Tonight and answered part of the question.

“On a yacht of that size, a good tip would be $5,000 a person, for seven days of work. Five grand a crew member, usually. Our charters are a little bit shorter, just so we can make the show, but everything else is exactly the same. So, it’s prorated. We usually get around $2,500, $2,000. Anything less than $1,000 would be depressing, which sounds crazy, doesn’t it?” Kate expressed.

Below Deck charters generally run two days, sometimes three days, to ensure the Bravo production schedule can be met. Kate did reveal the shorter charter means more work for the crew because they are jamming in the same amount of fun for the guests but in less time. There is very little downtime for the crew during the charter.

Kate did not mention exactly how the tip is divided up. On the show, there is always a meeting with Captain Lee letting everyone know the total tip, as well as the per person tip. The meeting leaves viewers under the impression that each crew member receives the same amount.

There is one big difference in the yachting tip process verses the Below Deck tip process. On the show, the primary guest gives Captain Lee an envelope full of cash. Kate explained, on other charters, that most of the time the primary will wire the tip after the trip is over. The reason for this is that most of the fancy guests don’t carry around the amount of cash needed to tip properly.

Kate Chastain clued viewers in to what is considered a good yachting tip. What did you think of her explanation?

Below Deck airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.

BDSY: Biggest Tips in Show History & $30,000 Tip Explained

Below Deck Sailing Yacht ‘s first four seasons produced some very big tips from wealthy charter guests willing to blow tens-of-thousands of dollars to reward the hard work of Captain Glenn Shephard ‘s ever-changing Parsifal III crew. However, the biggest tip to date in the spinoff show’s history came from Primary Charter Guest Bryan Gaurnieri , and his gay friends Craig Lowry Shreve and Wickliffe Shreve , Madison Stutts and Erik Robert Funderburk. The group gave one of the biggest tips in all of Below Deck history at $30,000 USD while on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 . Let’s take a look at how much money each crew member made from this giant tip and the other top tips from the last four BDSY seasons. We’ll also take a look at how much money cast members made on each season of BDSY .

Biggest Tips In Below Deck Sailing Yacht History: $30,000 Tip Explained

Primary Charter Guest Bryan Guarnieri and friends after giving the crew the biggest tip in show’s history (Bravo).

Avid Below Deck fans already know Primary Charter Guest Bryan Guarnieri is hard to please. His obnoxious list of demands, including a ten-course meal on his preference sheet , while sailing in Sardinia, Italy , is reminiscent of his previous trip on the original Bravo yachting show. In Below Deck season 8, Bryan, Craig and Wickliffe chartered My Seanna in Antigua . Hot-headed Chef Rachel Hargrove briefly quit during the preference sheet meeting because of his four pages of demands . She ended up knocking off Bryan’s socks, leaving him crying and giving Captain Lee Rosbach’s crew a $25,000 tip, which divided into $2,250 a piece.

Chef Ileisha Dell similarly delivered five-star delectable cuisine in BDSY season 4. The entire crew embraced the LGBTQ+-themed charter, especially First Officer Gary King and deckhand Chase Lemacks when they danced in speedos and rainbow-colored fans. The crew’s hard work didn’t go unnoticed, or uncompensated. Bryan and his upbeat group of friends left the crew a whopping $30,000 tip. BDSY season 4’s charter guests gave some big tips , but Bryan’s group outdid the rest. The $30,000 tip divided amongst nine crew members meant everyone took home $3,333 for a three-day charter. That’s over a thousand dollars per day in pay. And that’s not even including cast member’s Bravo and yachting salary , too. The next biggest tip on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 came from returning Primary Charter Guest Jim Blumenthal ‘s group. They tipped the crew $27,500 or $3055 (€2,700) each.

Without including the final charter, the BDSY season 4 crew made $175,600 in tips from eight charters, already beating the tips totals of any of the previous BDSY seasons. Each crew member made $19,511 in tip money eight charters into the season, with one charter left to go.

Biggest Tips From BDSY Season 3 & Total Tip Money Made

On Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 , the crew had a great haul of tips from charter guests. The top tip, $23,000, came from Canadian tech entrepreneur and reality TV star Lane Merrifield , fiancée Amanda Bourke and friends. Each crew member on the charter took home $2,555.

They really enjoyed playing on an obstacle course against the crew and Captain Glenn, Chief Stewardess Daisy Kelliher , Chief Engineer Colin MacRae, stewardess Ashley Marti and the rest of the original crew each made $16,762 for the charter season out of a total of $160,500 in tip money. The season also had one of the most infamous and disgraceful lowest tips in Below Deck history, left by Erica Rose , her husband Chuck (Charles) , and her mom Cindi. They gave a paltry $6,500 tip to the crew after terrorizing the yachties for three days.

Biggest Tips From BDSY Season 2 & Total Tip Money Made

Co-Primary Charter Guests Nikki and Rusty (Bravo).

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2 turned out to be a shortened season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gary’s love triangle with Australian Alli Dore and deckhand Sydney Zaruba dominated the drama much of this season of filming. The boatmance resulting in a pregnancy took over headlines after season 2 aired. Deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux impregnated Brazilian beauty Dani Soares while working together. He then refused to step up and be a father to the child. He even refused to take a paternity test or visit Dani and their daughter in Australia.

Due to the shortened season, there weren’t many high tips. Primary Charter Guest and board certified urologic surgeon Frank Martinis and his group ended up tipping the highest, at $23,000 or $2,500 per cast member. Avid sailors and Co-Primary Charter Guests Rusty Niedwick and Nikki Linn, from Newport Beach, California, gave practically the same amount, too, at $22,500. The shortened season resulted in the crew only making $106,450 or $11,830 per person that charter season.

Biggest Tips From BDSY Season 1 & Total Tip Money Made

Co-Primary Charter Guests Alan and Jennifer Ward (Bravo).

Despite the consensus from Below Deck ‘s subreddit that Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 1 is one of the worst season’s in the show franchise’s history, the crew hauled in some big tips. The highest tips were lower than any other BDSY season, however the show was filmed in 2019, so, factoring in inflation, the crew did well. They could’ve done better, though, if Chef Adam Glick and Chief Stewardess Jenna MacGillivray kept their PDA outside of working hours.

Retired high-level software engineer at Apple Alan Ward and his wife Jennifer, from New Orleans, Louisiana, and their group celebrated the recent marriage of Italian model Alessia Caprio and Indonesian beach club owner Guy Somers while aboard Parsifal III. The group tied for the most generous tip of $20,000 or $2,222 each. Some of the worst charter guests of season 1, a testosterone-fueled nightmare for the crew (including season 2’s Primary Frank Martinis) wreaked havoc aboard the sailing superyacht. Primary Charter Guest Richie Hosein — a successful entrepreneur from Long Island, New York, with ventures in health care, hospitality, nightlife and music — and his group of frat boys at least compensated the crew well after thoroughly embarrassing themselves. They also tied for highest tip of the season at $20,000. The BDSY season 1 crew ended up making a total of $143,000 and earned over $16,000 per crew member in tip money.

Can Yachts & Sailboats Tip Over & Sink? (Explained)

Yachts can tip over, and they can sink just like any other type of boat . However, some yachts can capsize and sink more easily than others. The size of the yacht and the draft plays an important role when it comes to capsizing.

Let’s talk about exactly how and when yachts may capsize and sink.

We’ll also talk about what you can do if you’re unfortunate enough to be on a yacht that has capsized or sunk.

Table of Contents

Capsizing – How it Happens For A Yacht

There are a few different factors that will determine whether or not a yacht capsizes.

The main three factors are:

• The amount of force placed on the vessel
• The center of gravity of the boat
• Whether or not waves are approached correctly.

1) Too Much Force on The Sail

A sailing yacht has large sails meant to take a great amount of force without being destroyed.

These massive sails provide the power a sailing yacht owner needs to move their large vessel.

In most cases, the force of the wind upon the sail will lead to some heeling.  The amount of heeling that the boat undergoes will depend on how skillfully the boat is sailed, the amount of wind being applied to the sail, and the design of the boat.

Knockdowns Vs. Capsizing

When too much force is applied to the sail, the boat’s heeling motion will usually compensate for this, and the wind will run over the sail.

However, in extreme cases, the boat may heel too far and too fast, and the sailboat will be knocked down.

A knockdown is different from a capsize in that the boat falls on its side but does not flip completely over. 

Knockdowns aren’t as bad as a capsize because the boat is usually still functional after a knockdown.  However, a knockdown is still dangerous because the boat’s passengers can fall into the water.

If all of the boat’s passengers fall into the water, there will be nobody left in the boat to pick them up.

Sometimes a knockdown is so extreme that it turns into a capsize.

This is when the boat is completely flipped over.  In this case, every passenger above deck will be thrown into the water, and the passengers inside will have to get out of the boat or hope that the boat rights itself quickly.

In many cases, a sailing monohull boat will right itself after a knockdown.  This is because the boat should be designed with capsizing in mind.  Boats with more than one hull will not right themselves after capsizing, but we’ll discuss that in more detail further along in this article.

2) Poor Center of Gravity

One aspect of a yacht that will determine its susceptibility to capsizing is its center of gravity.

A yacht with a higher center of gravity is much more likely to capsize than a yacht with a lower center of gravity.

In all likelihood, the yacht you buy will have a well -designed center of gravity.

This is especially true if you’ve purchased a Category A boat with a deep V that is meant for navigating rough waters.

A ballast tank will usually be built into the hull of the boat .  This tank lets water into the hull to add weight to it.

In addition to the ballast tank, some boats will have weights that are used as ballasts.  These weights are typically made of lead and can be used with or without a ballast tank’s presence.

3) Weight Distribution Plays An Important Role

Improper loading of a yacht can lead to poor weight distribution.  Poor weight distribution throws off the boat’s center of gravity and increases the chances that the boat will capsize.

For this reason, yacht owners must know how much weight their boat can hold so that they do not overload it. 

It’s also important that the weight that is added to the boat is evenly distributed throughout the boat.

The yacht owner may also want to consider putting heavier items down low as too much weight at the top of the boat can also lead to improper weight distribution.

4) Strong Waves Approached Incorrectly

Motor yachts and sailing yachts are both impacted by incoming waves.

A wave must be approached correctly or it could easily knock down or capsize a boat.  The smaller the boat, the more important it is that the boat approaches the wave correctly.

In fact, according to Boat U.S. Magazine , when a breaking wave of equal or greater height than a boat hits the boat from the beam side, it will always roll it at least 130 degrees past parallel.

How to Approach (Big) Waves In A Yacht

A yacht, or any other boat for that matter, should approach waves at the bow or stern side.

This keeps the boat more stable and allows it to work with the wave rather than against it.

Ideally, you’ll take the waves at the bow, but if it is a choice between the stern and the beam, you’ll always want to choose the stern.

This is important in order to ride the wave correctly. Otherwise, you will not be in full control, and you might end up taking in water or eventually experience tipping over.

Some Types of Yachts Capsize (And Sink) More Easily Than Others

Monohull owners have a disadvantage over catamaran and trimaran owners in that their boat can capsize and sink more easily.

This is because the one-hull design makes them less stable and because they only have one hull, there isn’t any redundancy in case of a hull breach.

If you haven’t yet considered whether to get a catamaran or a monohull boat, you need to read our pros and cons list of catamarans compared to monohull boats . It’s everything you need to consider before you choose what’s right for you.

Also, a monohull usually sits deeper in the water, so it is more likely to hit objects that could cause a hull breach.

This is especially true in shallow water and around reefs.

On the other hand, once a catamaran or trimaran yacht does capsize, it cannot right itself.  A monohull yacht can usually right itself after it capsizes.

What Happens After A Boat Capsizes?

When a boat flips over, it immediately begins to fill up with water.

Anything that was on the deck goes into the water, and anything inside the cabin begins to fly around and will eventually float as water enters the cabin.

People who were on the deck are now in the water, and people inside of the boat are now upside down. 

It can be very disorienting for these people, and they may be too injured to make their way out of the boat.

Monohulls In a Capsize

Monohull passengers will probably be flipped back over shortly after they are knocked down.

The biggest danger for these people is the fact that they may be injured.  This is especially true if items were left out or hatches were left open.

For example, one open kitchen drawer could lead to knives flying around the cabin during the capsize.  Even if all of the cabinets and items inside the boat were secure, the passenger could still be injured from falling.

If the passenger were in the forward cabin, they would be less likely to be injured since this cabin is often a berth consisting of only a bed.

Multi-hull Yachts During a Capsize

As we stated earlier, a multi-hull is not going to right itself.

Also, it can be a long fall off of the deck during a capsize because of its wide stance.

For instance, a 50-foot catamaran could have a width of 26 feet.

This means that a person on the deck could end up falling 26 feet into the water during a capsize.  They could hit the mast or any number of other items protruding off the deck on the way down.

The people inside the cabin will be upside down, and they’ll need to get out of the deck or hull that they’re in.

Some yachts will have escape hatches that the passengers can use to safely get out of the hulls, while others may not.

How To Best Prepare For Capsizing

Sometimes the weather or a wave catches a sailor off guard, and there isn’t any time to prepare for a capsize.

There really isn’t much you can do at this point.

Other times, the weather changes, and the water becomes rough, and you know that there is a higher likelihood that the boat could flip over.

In this instance, you should make sure everyone has their life preservers on.  You should also take down any bimini tops.

The reason for this is that people could get trapped under or within them after the boat capsizes.

You’ll also want to make sure everything on the boat is secure and that there aren’t any unlatched lockers or hatches.  This will help prevent you from getting hit by your equipment during a capsize and keep water from entering the cabin.

It will also keep your stuff in your boat when you flip.  If you’re boat rights itself quickly, you won’t have lost anything.

In some cases, you may want to keep everyone out of the cabins.  The cabins can become incredibly difficult to get out of after the boat has flipped over, and people can drown inside them.

For this reason, it may actually be safer to be up on deck when the boat does capsize.

What to Do After a Yacht Capsizes

The first step if you’re still in the boat is to get out as quickly as possible.

Ideally, you’ll already have a life jacket on, so you won’t have any excuses for delaying.

Once you’re out of the boat, you’ll want to try to stay with it.  A capsized boat is much easier for rescue crews to spot than a person floating in the water.

Also, a capsized boat can still make a great flotation device, so if possible, you could climb back up onto it.  This is especially true if your yacht is a catamaran as it won’t be as difficult to climb back onto, and you won’t have to worry about it righting itself while you’re on top of it.

Being on top of the boat reduces your exposure to the water and any marine life that may wish to do you harm.  Depending on where you’ve capsized, there may be a genuine threat of a shark attack.  If one of the passengers has become injured and is bleeding, this will only increase the chances.

If it’s safe to do so, collect any supplies that you might need.

Water bottles, flares, and extra life jackets could become extremely helpful in an emergency situation.

In fact, the Coast Guard recommends that you tie any extra supplies to the boat as it creates a larger target for rescue crews to see.  You won’t be able to swim back to shore so your best hope will be that someone is able to find and rescue you.

Will The Yacht Sink Completely?

It is rare for a boat to sink completely, but it is certainly possible.

In most cases, this happens for one of two reasons:

• Hull breaches
• The boat filling up with water.   

Sometimes the boat filling up with water is known as the boat swamping.

A boat can fill up with water because its hull was breached, or it could happen for other reasons. 

For example, a capsized monohull could continue to take on the water until it eventually sinks.

Common Reasons For Hull Breaches

A hull breach is when the hull is physically damaged and a hole or large crack opens up in the hull.

This can happen during collisions with:

• Other boats,
• Large rocks,
• Or The ground itself. 

Basically, any obstruction that is large enough and hard enough to damage the boat’s hull can cause a hull breach.

When a hull breach does occur, it can cause the boat to take on water.

In some cases, the water incursion will be slow enough that the bilge pump can pump the water out, and the hull might be stable enough that the boat does not sink.

In other cases, the hull breach could be so large that even a large boat can sink.

The Titanic is a classic example of this. This ship was large enough that 4 forward compartments could have flooded without the boat sinking.  Unfortunately, six forward compartments were flooded, and 2 hours and 40 minutes after the Titanic was hit, it sunk into the water.

How To Avoid Boat Swamping

A boat can be swamped for all sorts of reasons.

One reason that some boat swamp is because the boat owner has taken the drain plug out.

A small trailerable yacht could have a drain plug and the boat could end up filling up with water shortly after it leaves the boat ramp.

Another reason could be that the bilge pump has failed, and the yacht is under the stress of a heavy storm bringing with it a lot of water in the form of waves and heavy rain.  Send enough sea water into a yacht and it will eventually begin to swamp.

In this case, it is recommended that the yacht crew close all hatches so that water cannot get below the deck.  This way, the water brought onto the boat by large waves will simply roll off the deck.

A boat could also swamp if the transom were to come off.  In this case, water would come in through the stern and could certainly swamp the boat.

Swamped boats won’t always sink.

If the boat has flotation built into it, it should be able to stay afloat.  However, larger boats are not built to survive a swamping so it is entirely possible that they will eventually sink.

What to Do If Your Boat is Sinking?

The first step you’ll want to take is to make sure you have your life jacket on.

Once you hit the water, it will become difficult to get it on, and you may not even be able to find one at that point.

Immediately following this, you’ll want to put out a distress call.

Hopefully, there will be other boats in the area that can rescue you before your boat actually sinks.

After this, you may want to see if you can stop your boat from sinking.  If there is a hull breach, you may be able to plug it.  A broken bilge pump may be able to be repaired, or water might be pumped out manually.

If this isn’t possible, you might want to try to get the boat to an area where it will not completely sink.  For example, if your hull was breached because of shallow water, you could leave the boat in the shallow area and stay on it until help arrived.

Once it is apparent that the boat will sink, you may want to grab as many supplies from the boat as you can.  Just don’t risk going beneath the deck to do so or you may get stuck there.

You also need to be aware of horn signals. Here’s a great guide to horn signals for boats , so you know exactly what to do.

Final Thoughts

The chances of a yacht sinking or capsizing are very low.

You can lower these chances even further by avoiding bad weather and other dangerous situations.

If you do happen to capsize or sink, take the appropriate steps and you should be able to survive until help arrives.

Superyacht global orders dipped in 2019

2020-01-03T15:50:00+00:00

The 2020 Global Order Book, tracking superyachts over 24 metres ordered or under construction annually, dropped by -3% to 807 projects in 2019, down from 830 in the previous year’s tally.

The 2020 Global Order Book – compiled by Boats International and tracking superyacht projects over 24 metres ordered or under construction annually – dropped by -3% to 807 in 2019, down from 830 projects in the previous year’s tally. Total project length for last year was 32.3 kilometres, a slight decline of 1% compared to 2018 orders.

REV arrives in Norway

The 182m Research Expedition Vessel (REV) arrives in Norway where it is being outfitted at Vard. The hull and superstructure were built at Tulcea in Romania. The yacht is estimated to be 53% complete.  When deployed the yacht will be able to scoop up around five tons of plastic every day and melt it down. REV’s propulsion system is also designed to reduce the vessel’s carbon footprint. If history repeats itself, the technologies in REV will ultimately trickle down to the broader boating industry.

Some segments outperformed others and there is certainly no shortage of activity at the highest end of the spectrum where a record 21 vessels exceeding 100m (328ft) are under construction. Among them is the Research Expedition Vessel (REV), a 182-metre yacht being outfitted by Norwegian shipyard Vard for its billionaire countryman Kjell Inge Røkke. When completed, REV will take pole position as the world’s largest yacht displacing the 180m Azzam, owned by UAE president Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

According to Boats International figures, there were just six vessels more than 100m in length, and only 24 over 74m between 1970 and 1979, while there are now 50 yachts in the largest segment, with 170 yachts exceeding 75m.

Other growth segments in 2019 and highlighted in the report included:

• 120- to 149-foot segment: 134 units (+10%)
• 90- to 99-foot segment: 128 units (+9%)
• Expedition yachts: 58 units (+5.5%)
• Sailboats: 59 units (+15.7%)

The study noted the ’mid-size’ market, ranging from 150-250ft (46-76m), was “steady” logging an average of 140 projects annually since 2012 and enjoying a slight uptick last year to 147 projects.

Italy remains the top country for superyacht construction with 398 orders in 2019, and a total project length of 14,374m.  Azimut-Bennetti, the Ferretti Group and Sanlorenzo are the top three producers in Italy and also worldwide.

In order numbers, the Netherlands ranks second with 72 projects, down slightly in 2019 (-7%); followed byTurkey with 65 projects, Germany with 19 and Norway with 3.  However, in terms of gross tonnage and length overall, Germany and the Netherlands are the market leaders where German-yard Lürrsen has 7 out of current 9 projects over 100m.

Stewart Campbell, editor of Boats International , said: “The industry as a whole remains confident, but is eyeing 2020 with caution.  He highlighted the positive growth in active shipyards and the top end of the sector where there ”are still plenty of owners willing to commission massive superyacht projects. The number of yachts over 75 metres in build now,” he added, ”is double the number recorded in 2009 – the peak of the previous superyacht boom.”

According to BI ’s figures, the number of active shipyards was up nearly 13% in 2019 to 170, but still shy of the peak number of 199 yards in 2008. Yachts built on speculation (without an owner) still represent 43% of the Order Book.

Joe Lewis’ $250 million superyacht, ranked among the world’s 25-most valuable, sets sail after he pays US fine

Joe Lewis’ superyacht is on the move again after spending most of the past year holed up in a Mediterranean port while the British billionaire faced insider-trading charges in the US.

His 322-foot (98-meter) Aviva — which he put up as collateral for bail —  has traveled more than 400 nautical miles from Malta to cities along Albania’s coast as well as the Greek island of Zakynthos since  he was sentenced  April 4 to three years probation, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

After departing Zakynthos earlier this week, the Tavistock Group founder’s yacht was near Kalamata in southern Greece on Thursday morning local time, the data show. It’s the most the roughly $250 million vessel has traveled in about seven months, though it’s unclear if Lewis is on board.

Lewis, 87, pledged his yacht along with his private jet to secure his release following his arrest in July. A few months later, Aviva docked until April 5 in the Maltese capital of Valletta, where it can cost as much as €750 ($800) a night to moor vessels that exceed 75 meters.

Lewis, who was scheduled to have eye surgery in London recently, was prohibited from setting foot on the yacht that has long served as part-residence, part-office while awaiting trial. He was only allowed on board after paying a $5 million fine after sentencing, which he settled soon after the verdict in Manhattan.

A representative for Lewis, who has a net worth of about $7.3 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, declined to comment.

Lewis, whose global empire includes five-star hotels, private lenders and enclaves for the wealthy, launched Aviva in 2017. It includes eight guest suites, a helipad, padel tennis court, spa and a cinema. It ranked among the world’s 25-most valuable superyachts shortly after its launch, alongside those owned by Middle Eastern royals.

The yacht has also displayed works from Lewis’ private art collection, which is valued at more than $1 billion and includes pieces by Picasso, Freud, Klimt and Degas.

Events that authorities say took place on the yacht were a key piece of evidence that prosecutors used against him. 

At dinner one night in September 2019, the billionaire received favorable news about Mirati Therapeutics Inc., an oncology company where he was a major investor, leading him to pass along the tip to a host of people, including the pilots of his private jet, according to US regulators.

Those pilots — Bryan “Marty” Waugh and Patrick O’Connor — were also charged with trading on inside information. O’Connor pleaded guilty to securities fraud and conspiracy and is due to be sentenced in May, while Waugh is fighting the charges.

Tens of thousands of people protested in Moscow on Saturday, marking the fifth weekend people have rallied in the Russian city to demand fair elections.

The demonstrations began in July after election officials barred opposition candidates from running for the Moscow city council, disqualifying their ballots because of what officials claimed were irregularities in the 5,000 signatures each had to gather to run.

That decision — to block the opposition from participating — turned a sleepy municipal election into a political controversy that intensified amid police crackdowns against demonstrators and opposition figures.

Saturday’s rally in Moscow was the largest yet, and one of the biggest political protests in Russia in years. Estimates put the crowds at about 50,000 , although authorities suggested the official number was closer to 20,000. The rally was sanctioned — meaning people had a permit to protest — although police reportedly arrested about 200 people . Russians in other cities, including St. Petersburg, also joined in on the demonstrations, a sign that the unrest and dissatisfaction may extend beyond Moscow.

Moscow’s municipal elections are very much the focus of these protests, but it’s hard to divorce it completely from larger political and economic issues within Russia, specifically President Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian regime.

“As with many other protests and uprisings all around the region, they’re much more fluid when it comes to reason, but they’re still emblematic of what is happening with the general dissatisfaction with the state of affairs, in this particular case, the policies of Putin’s administration at the moment,” Maksym Eristavi, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council in Prague, told me.

The Moscow city council elections are expected to move ahead on September 8, and it seems extraordinarily unlikely that authorities will give in to protesters’ demands and let the opposition stand for the vote. But if the protests continue or continue to spread, the uproar over the municipal elections may be just the beginning.

Opposition leaders followed the onerous rules to get on Moscow’s city council ballot. Election officials still denied them the chance to run.

All 45 seats in the Moscow city council are up for reelection on September 8. The legislative body is controlled by the pro-Kremlin ruling United Russia party. But the party is pretty unpopular right now, so the Moscow United Russia candidates came up with an ingenious plan to run as independents in the city council instead.

A bunch of people actually wanted to run as legit independents — opposition candidates. To do so, they had to meet some pretty onerous requirements, specifically garnering 5,000 signatures each from voters.

But officials on Moscow’s electoral commission invalidated many of the signatures for these opposition candidates, claiming they were faked or had incorrect details; some opposition leaders accused election officials of altering the signatures themselves.

About 30 opposition candidates were initially disqualified from running, and many just happened to be outspoken critics of the Kremlin. In another funny coincidence, none of those United Russia-candidates-turned-independents were disqualified, although critics claimed they didn’t even bother to actually collect signatures or that their applications were barely verified by election officials.

On July 14, about 2,000 protesters — including opposition candidates — rallied outside Moscow’s election headquarters to protest the disqualification of the candidates and to demand a meeting with Moscow’s election commissioner . Dozens were arrested, including some opposition candidates.

The protests continued. On July 20, more than 20,000 protesters met in Moscow to demand the opposition candidates be included on the ballots.

Opposition leader and anti-corruption advocate Alexei Navalny — a major Putin critic who was blocked from running against him for the presidency in 2018 — had called for another protest on July 27 and was promptly arrested on July 24 and sentenced to 30 days in jail for organizing an unauthorized protest. While in prison, he was hospitalized with a severe allergic reaction, with some allies worrying that he might have been poisoned.

Other opposition candidates have since been arrested, including Dmitri Gudkov, who once served as an opposition voice in the state duma (legislature) and has now been sentenced to 30 days in jail for organizing an unauthorized election protest ; and Ilya Yashin, a prominent opposition figure arrested for organizing an unauthorized protest after the July 14 rally. Yashin is also calling for Moscow to cancel the September 8 elections.

But the demonstration still went ahead on July 27, where Russian police arrested nearly 1,300 people and reportedly beat back protesters with batons.

A fourth round of protests took place on August 3, with several hundred detained. And on August 10, 50,000 people gathered, including some high-profile Russian celebrities, even though many of the opposition leaders are now jailed. Lyubov Sobol, an opposition candidate who is now on a hunger strike in protest of her exclusion from the Moscow ballot, posted a video on Twitter that appeared to show police barging into her apartment ahead of the protest.

The protest on August 10 — like that on July 20, where 20,000 participated — was sanctioned, meaning protesters had a permit. Brian Taylor, a professor in the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, told me that might have made it more likely for people to come out and protest, as the risk of arrest is a bit lower than during those unauthorized protests.

“Even so,” Taylor said, “we do seem to be seeing a ramping up in tension around this rather than a successful repression of protest on the part of authorities so far.”

Eristavi, the senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, told me it’s important to keep in mind that people were still detained, but that authorities were careful to avoid arresting people in large numbers, and largely did so away from the cameras.

He described this as part of the Kremlin’s “larger disinformation narrative” to sow confusion. “You’re not acting out as completely authoritarian places like North Korea, or some places that just don’t care about the optics — you have to preserve some kind of a confusion,” Eristavi said. “If I’m abroad, or even I’m somewhere else in Russia, and I’m seeing this, I don’t know what to make of it; it could be worse.”

But beneath the optics, there’s corruption and a skewed justice system and media and internet restrictions. And these bigger issues are what the Moscow protestors may be demonstrating about going forward.

“It started off fairly small, but it’s obviously now mushroomed into something more than just can they stand for election to the municipal council,” Angela Stent, author of Putin’s World: Russia Against the West and with the Rest , told me. “But it’s a much broader issue of people’s rights, people’s right to vote, to choose who represents them.”

The protests are a powerful statement — but it’s hard to predict what comes next

What prompted the protests in Moscow is very much authoritarianism 101: the government using all the tools available to sideline and stamp out the opposition.

“Wherever the opposition goes right now, they’re meeting what we might consider soft repression, manipulation,” Taylor said. At first, election officials tried to ban the Moscow candidates from the local elections; when that didn’t work, authorities started arresting those opposition leaders and protesters.

The question is why they would go to such lengths. It would seem that letting a few opposition candidates into the Moscow city council to debate budgets and discuss trash pickup might not be much of a threat to Putin’s regime. Voter turnout tends to be pretty low for local elections, anyway.

But that’s not how the Kremlin is looking at it — or dealing with it.

“In the past, you might have expected, even this time, the Kremlin to say, ‘okay fine, a couple of people can run,’ and then just figure out a way to manipulate the ballot so that they don’t actually win, even if they do win — or if they win, then figure out some excuse to have them removed,” Evelyn Farkas, a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia from 2012 to 2015, told me.

But instead, Moscow basically dug in. And the opposition, this time, responded in kind. “‘The Kremlin is digging in its heels, so let’s test it,’” Farkas said.

Moscow, of course, is a major city, with more than 12 million residents, so Putin’s regime is going to be particularly attuned to what’s going on in the city. And Putin may have particular reasons to be a little sensitive these days.

Putin and the ruling United Russia party have been slipping in popularity as more Russians become disillusioned with the state of the Russian economy, including rising inequality and falling incomes. Declining oil prices and sanctions have squeezed the Kremlin, and the government had to push through unpopular measures last year, including increasing the retirement age.

Though Russian media is tightly controlled, citizens are also starting to express frustration about Russian government corruption and mismanagement and the country’s increasing isolation in the world. And many, especially younger generations, have basically known no other leader but Putin. They’re beginning to wonder about Russia’s political future when Putin’s term is up in 2024 . Many are unsure about what will happen after —or if there will actually be an after.

“I think a lot of this is about the future of the country, and are these young people now, if you’re 30-years-old, are you going to continue to have to live under a system like this, where you really don’t have a lot of political choices and where the economy isn’t doing so well?” Stent said.

Stent and others pointed out that the protests are being led by young people, similar to the protests that have rocked Hong Kong for weeks . And while there are definitely visible opposition figures, they’re both largely leaderless and rely on grassroots organizing — making them more fluid and spontaneous, and maybe just a bit harder for authorities to squash fully.

Putin, meanwhile, has accused Western democracies, specifically the United States , of meddling and fomenting the unrest — a talking point that he’s famously used before .

Putin’s problems are likely closer to home, although it’s far too early to say what these protests will accomplish — and what it means for Russia. Experts pointed out that this weekend saw other cities join in protests, including St. Petersburg, where about 80 or so people were detained . If that continues, that’s a sign that discontent might be more widespread.

But few thought Moscow’s protests were a legitimate threat to Putin’s regime, at least in their current form. The government has been able to keep the opposition off the ballot and to largely deal with the protests through arrests. And Putin has faced politics protests in the past, notably in 2011, 2012, and 2013 over the electoral system, all of which faded without much changing.

“We shouldn’t assume the days of the Putin regime are numbered,” Stent said. “We’re not there yet.”

Moscow Police Arrest More Than 1,300 at Election Protest

• Share full article

By Ivan Nechepurenko

• July 27, 2019

MOSCOW — Lines of riot police officers in body armor and helmets blocked the streets of central Moscow on Saturday, arresting more than 1,300 demonstrators — chasing some of them down alleys — to blunt a protest over the fairness of coming city elections.

“We love Russia! They love money!” protesters chanted, a reference to widespread anger over government corruption. Others sat in the streets, awaiting arrest and reading copies of the Constitution.

The spark for Saturday’s protest was a decision by election authorities to bar several opposition candidates from running for Moscow’s City Council, asserting that they had falsified signatures on petitions to run — a charge the candidates denied.

An independent monitoring group said more than 1,300 people were arrested near City Hall, the intended site of the rally, although many never made it there. As in past protests, the authorities began making arrests blocks away so a large crowd could not form.

The protest, which not authorized by the government, was the latest in a series of street demonstrations staged as President Vladimir V. Putin’s approval ratings have dipped amid economic hardship.

The authorities were prepared to suppress Saturday’s rally and its leaders.

Aleksei A. Navalny, the opposition leader who had called the demonstration, was arrested on Wednesday and sentenced to 30 days in jail. Other prominent opposition politicians — including Ilya V. Yashin, Dmitry G. Gudkov and Ivan Y. Zhdanov — were also rounded up before the event and released only late in the evening.

A post on the Facebook page of Mr. Yashin, a street activist and one of the politicians who was barred from running, said 10 masked police officers had removed him from his apartment in Moscow overnight before the Saturday demonstration.

“It is horrible. My feeling is that we live under an occupation,” said Nadezhda Pilinskaya, 59, referring to the heavy police presence in the city center. “They fear that the end is coming, the end of this regime.”

Ms. Pilinskaya, a retired entrepreneur, added, “We will have nobody to choose from on Election Day.”

At stake in the Sept. 8 election are the 45 seats on the Moscow City Council, which is responsible for a large municipal budget and is controlled by the pro-Kremlin United Russia party. Election officials have so far registered nearly 200 candidates, most of whom are largely supportive of Mr. Putin.

Protesters say that without opposition candidates, the coming city election is rigged. Some protesters chanted, “Where is my signature?” Others yelled, “Where is my candidate?”

The police could be seen spraying some demonstrators with a chemical irritant. One woman, Aleksandra Y. Parushina, bled from a blow to the head with a nightstick.

“None of us was breaking the law. This situation was provoked by the police,” said Ms. Parushina, her head wrapped in a blood-soaked bandage. “I even lost consciousness for a minute,” she said while awaiting an ambulance.

Even before the election dispute, protests had broken out in provincial cities as Russia’s economy swoons under Western sanctions. Street actions began over bread-and-butter issues such as the placement of garbage dumps and the dismal wages of medical workers, which highlight growing frustration over gloomy standards of living.

While the near-weekly demonstrations in the capital and other cities have pierced the image of unified support for Mr. Putin, the scale of support for such rallies is unclear.

The Moscow police said that 3,500 people came out for Saturday’s rally, including about 700 journalists and bloggers who had registered beforehand. The number could not be independently verified.
