"This is supposed to be an 80-foot yacht, it should be considered a large yacht, and the manufacturer is the Italian Fratelli, who is a long-established yacht builder who has been hand-made yachts and sailboats for the aristocracy of various countries since the 19th century." Pavey stood at the bow of the ship and glanced at the stern, then casually said a bunch of data.

"Don't say feet, I can't convert it, let's talk about the metric system." Hong Tao is the most annoying to the Canadians' units of calculation, all of which are imperial, and you can make mistakes if you are not careful.

"About 24 meters!" Before Pavey could do the math, Erin had already done the math, and it seemed that someone who was gifted with language should also be good at math.

"Well, that's pretty much it, but when you build a ship, it's calculated in feet, and when converted into meters, there should be a decimal point." Pavey was unwilling to use a unit of measurement that he was not used to, and was still trying to convince Hong Tao.

"We're not going to build ships, Mr. First Mate, so let's go on." Hong Tao doesn't care if he is troublesome or not.

"The yachts built by the Italian company are all high-end goods, and most of the equipment is made of top-of-the-line products. You see this servo, it is the British Lewmar company, which is the best electric windlasse manufacturer in the world, and the performance is very stable. To prove his case, Pavey knelt on the deck again, opened the hatch, and pointed to a round metal object below for Hong Tao to see.

Not to mention, there is a specialization in the art industry, there is indeed a line of English letters on that metal object, which is basically the same as what Pavey said, it seems that this fat old man is not a foodie, and he has to have some real skills to get into the position of first mate.

"How fast can that boat go?" Hong Tao has little interest in these mechanical devices, and his concept of a ship is only based on preliminary data such as speed and range.

"I'm not sure, but I estimate that the fastest speed is no more than 30 knots, and the average speed is about 20 knots, depending on the performance of the engine, but yachts are generally not too fast, for the sake of stability and comfort. The proportions of the hull of the yacht are relatively small, so it is not fast. Pavey didn't give an exact number this time, but just a rough estimate.

"Hey, Captain, what's going on up there?" As she spoke, Pavey suddenly looked up and asked Old Gail, who was standing on the second floor.

"It's a nice little toy, you should come up and have a look." Old Gale still has that unwavering unlucky character, as if everything is under control.

"Wow, sitting on the couch at the helm, that's what the Italians can come up with, eating, drinking, and having fun." Pavi took Hong Tao and they climbed to the second floor. As soon as he showed his head, Pavey let out an exclamation and teased the Italian by the way.

"I'm X, is this sofa leather?" Hong Tao then climbed to the platform on the second floor, only to find that there is a hole here, the first thing that catches your eye is a beige corner sofa, the workmanship is very fine, at first glance it is not the kind of goods produced in Xianghe Furniture City.

"It should be man-made, and it is very corrosive at sea. Natural leather is difficult to maintain and is generally not used by anyone. Pavey taught Hong Tao another lesson.

"That's not bad, it's a great view here, sit here and drive the boat. There is a beautiful Irene sitting next to her, who is listening to a cold beer, which is really cool, and these millions are really not in vain. "Hong Tao likes the setting very much. In front of the sofa is the open-air helm station with a retractable awning on top. On the other side of the sofa is a small wine cabinet with a separate Xiaoice box underneath.

"How. Hong Tao, is this boat enough? I don't understand this thing, you have to watch it, otherwise there will be nowhere to make up for it when you go to sea. The fat boss also climbed up from below, and these flights of stairs were a tough challenge for his weight, and he couldn't even breathe.

"I haven't seen this yet, Pavey, hurry up and see if the navigation equipment is complete, and then see if there are any fish finders or something." Hong Tao doesn't know much about ships, so it's better to find an expert to understand these things.

"I've seen it all, Lei Song's navigation system is very good, the maritime compass is also complete, there are 2 fish finders, this thing should be an underwater camera, I don't know how to play." Old Gale was standing in front of the bridge at this time, fiddling with the instruments on the bridge one by one.

"That should be no problem, he used to be the captain of the Canadian Navy, and he said that he would do it." Although Hong Tao is not accustomed to Old Gale's style, he has no preconceptions about his professional knowledge, and the more rigid he is, the more reliable he is.

"Our squad is full of talents, even the people who drive the warship! It's just one of the ones who flew the plane, haha When the fat boss heard that there were still people from the navy here, this heart was 100% put in his stomach, and he made a joke.

"There are also those who fly planes, you see that bearded man, he is a pilot in the Canadian Army, and he flies fighter jets." As soon as Hong Tao heard the fat boss's words, he hurriedly added a sentence.

"Ahh I don't have anywhere to get a plane. "The fat boss didn't expect that there would really be a pilot, and he couldn't talk about it this day, so he didn't care about being tired, so he rolled down the stairs again.

Not to mention that a professional is a professional, as soon as they got on the ship, Old Gale and Pavey knew all the facilities and equipment on the ship as if they were returning to their own home. Originally, the fat boss's second brother wanted to take everyone to visit the whole boat, but slowly he also became an audience, and changed to Pavey taking everyone to visit, Old Gale was in charge of directing, and Erin and Hong Tao were in charge of translation.

With these two professionals, the fat boss's second brother also opened his eyes, Pavey not only turned the various cabins of the ship enough, but also made a detailed assessment of the engine room, fresh water tank, oil tank, and other places that ordinary people do not have to do with each other, and finally gave an assessment with Old Gale: the ship is a good ship, the maintenance is average, and the maintenance is too poor!

However, the fat boss's second brother was very happy, he finally met someone who knew how to do it, especially Hong Tao's selective translation of old Gail and Pavey's assessment of the boat, and removed those critical comments, which made him feel that our money was not spent in vain.

According to the old Gale and Pavey's assessment, the boat is about 24 meters long and less than 6 meters wide, which is considered a large fast yacht. Because it is equipped with 3 too 1200 horsepower Japanese Yanmar Engine supercharged direct injection diesel engine, so the power is relatively strong, and the fuel consumption is relatively low, the estimated driving speed can be maintained at about 27 knots, the maximum speed can also run to 40 knots, and the cruising capacity is about 400 nautical miles.

This boat is not a qualified fishing boat, but a pure cruising boat, and its main function is to provide comfortable long-distance sailing at sea, so the boat is not equipped with trolling brackets and various fishing gear. However, in order to meet the needs of customers, the Italian company simply installed 4 detachable fishing brackets and 2 fish finders on this boat, and changed the original 2000 liter freshwater tank to 2 independent 800 liter freshwater tanks, one of which can open the submarine valve and become a live fish tank, so as to meet the requirements of some customers for sea tourism and fishing.

In addition, the Italian company has equipped the yacht with a 60-litre-per-hour desalination system to compensate for the lack of fresh water in the tanks.

But these devices alone are not worth 27 million, in fact, this is the same as buying a house, the hull, power, and navigation are all dead, just like a rough house, and the price is definitely not so high. But you can't live in a rough house, you have to decorate, so all kinds of optional components come, just like our decoration kit.

The second brother of the fat boss is a standard turtle, a bottle is less than half a bottle and smack, when he bought the boat, it was done through a British company registered in Hong Kong, although he did not pit him, but also played some small means, such as in these optional projects, the other party did not specifically explain that there are many things that can not be installed, so the price of the ship will drop a lot, not half of it must have a third.

As a result, the second brother and his two partners asked the family to sell them a yacht with a top-of-the-line configuration that could be fully loaded at the highest price.

But then again, it's not the one who doesn't spend money, as long as it's not cheated by someone and shoddy, it's really a penny for nothing. If nothing else, let's just talk about all the woodwork on this ship, from the deck, all the way to the kitchen furniture and the handrails in the bathroom, all of which are made of high-quality teak and cherry wood.
