Princess 72

[Seastoke]

Who was is it that started the whole "the bolts are 8 or 10mm" line?? 16mm will hold up a flippin mountain. Lets get our facts straight here.

It was Ari,who said 8 or10 but there was only 2. He is on holiday in Boltimore.

I meantioned, the word mil , which everyone knows is a measurement , that a,mil is 1000th of one inch.

If she's the Y72, she's 51 tonne!! She's a big girl.. Pictures can be deceiving but the midship cleat doesn't look particularly big on this vessel

45 t at medium load

45 t at medium load

Is that the dry weight ?....because once you add the Champagne....

If you want to look at the yacht , look on sea tag web it’s one of their show pieces.

45 t at medium load

Unless I'm seeing something different from your good self but Princess quote the Y72 as 51,325kg..

5t of champagne, just a weekender then.

So the moral of the story is buy a swift trawler. All the bolts will have rusted solid 6 months after construction and will never come loose

My P67 is between 43 and 45 tonnes when weighed in the travel hoist but she was built pre injection moulding days. I always say 50 tonnes if anyone asks.

How dare you criticise quality French steel, my Renault went almost 18months rust free from new.

That is the newer Y72, this is the older model.

Even this is wrong, a loaded 67 is about 37 t medium load as quoted by Princess. 39 t loaded. Many hoists are not calibrated and carry part of the weight into that scaling.

You are splitting hairs. With a full load of fuel and water and then all my carp and tender etc. it could easily get to the 43/45 tonnes that I quoted above. And, yes, the travel hoist isn't the best method to weigh a boat. I believe that the hoist's winches have brakes so the load cells are only active when the hoist's winches are in motion - thats why I said something around 43/45 tonnes.

 

[PowerYachtBlog]

A medium load 67 weighed with calibrated travel lift was 37.5 tons some years ago, and that had a jet tender included and 60% fuel, so Princess numbers as they quote are correct.
Just sayin.... you can add lead and it will be 43 t....

Boat builders have no interest ingoing beyond the number they quote, for a couple of reasons, which include performance but also production costs.
