Behind-the-scenes docu: Royal Huisman turns its largest hull ever 

One of the best yards in the world , and Dutch , they show our proud history in building yachts and ships . The finest in the world .

yankeeshogun Almost? 😆

I'd tear my house down and park it on my lawn, but it wouldn't fit... if I bought out my neighbor it would still go over the road, and take up a good bit of the lawn across the street.

I see a whole lot of skilled craftsmen building that ship. I'm guessing they are happy to be working. All because of that super rich person buying that very expensive ship

Yeah! How dare that super rich guy actually spend his money on something that directly employs hundreds of people and indirectly employs thousands more in the supply chain.

hundreds of workers, more suppliers who make the deck, the walls, the furniture, the electronics, the paint, the up-keep, the deck hands, the restaurants that the thousands of people who worked on this ate at and left tips for the 10's of thousands of waiters and waitresses. the number of people who pulled a pay check from this project is more amazing than the project. but, would rather all those people had no jobs ? is that your point ? or that only the wealthy can make entire economies turn into prosperity for the masses ?

Largest (aluminium) sailing yacht in the world. Readdd

Enough.....

So nobody can fall in the water stupid

maybe the reason is , its a one off , so not worth the cost ?

yes, she is. thank you for watching. we hope you enjoyed?

Yes I enjoyed watching, the man hours, and craftsmanship that goes in , is like building the pyramids

Building hulls upside down is a common practice .

wanker

Dont just avoid dealing with my comments by insulting me instead of dealing with my verifiable facts. Of course, not all ships were built upside down. The Titanic was built keel first and if it had not collided with the Hindenburg and sank, you could see the obvious markings that go with right side up construction. We are pretty sure, however, that the pyramids were built pointy end last.

Just a troll , ignore !!

Noah? arc? newspaper?. If you have those you can make enough money and than you can order a yacht like this and tell them to work otherwise.

You do know you have a volume control, right ?

Because it is possible !

These yards employ a lot of people and the supply chain employs a lot of people. In Holland, this yard pays a lot in local taxes, everybody that has a part in the building of this boat is raising or has raised a family, pays taxes to some country and or municipality and contributing to society. What we do not know, is what the owner of this boat already gives to charities. There are not a lot of starving mothers in the Netherlands or the EU for that matter. Most people starving in the world today are doing so because of political upheaval and inept or corrupt governments. Why are these needed? why is any "pleasure craft" needed? Because they are fun to sail and you can go anywhere in the world with the power of the wind on a boat this size. Conspicuous consumption is not always a bad thing. Look past the boat itself.

@@benstameister1 Even if they have sail to move, they still use a lot of focil energy to trim the sails so they aren't green at all. And if the ship yard give some work for the families in the Netherland, I'm not sure it's in that country you need to give the most work. Even if like to see those big boat, I would prefere to see all this money to help some poor countries, not the Netherlands (or any civilzed country).

@@gautdo And what other country has the knowledge and experience to build ships like this besides the Netherlands?

alphasxsignal why does something have to be needed? Next time you are enjoying something ask yourself if you need it.......

the title says "it's" meaning the largest this yacht maker has ever done.
