Yeah, not creepy. 🙄 Thanks for the tour, though. I've been wondering what the ship is like inside for a long time.
The plumbing reminds me of my old Hunter 290 sailboat. Besides that, just an old hotel with one jump scare in it and lots of over priced food.

I'm pretty sure you watched that happen in ... s-l-o-w m-o-t-i-o-n.
It happened in slow motion. So weird. Turning left but slowly moving to the right. Third time in my life I thought I was going to die. Lol

You don't know the difference between deer and elk? It's okay that the kids don't but adults should.
Only had deer out in California where I grew up. Dont elk have antlers?
CAMEL MOOSE THING!!
Pretty sure that’s what it was.
Only one or two more states to Wyatt Earp's grave. It's right around the corner from Energica in Daly City.
I'm about a week behind on editing. In SoCal now. Will be up near his grave in just under a fortnight. I should go visit it so he doesn't feel shunned or something.
@ZeroFun i figured. Just putting it out there for next time. You're not allowed to bury people in San Francisco. All the graves are in Colma and Daly City. Knowing where we're outnumbered is good to info for the pending Zombie Apocalypse.

I think the wobble is probably caked mud inside of the rims… it didn’t look like you were going nearly fast enough to do any real damage. I have an old Lexus that a curb jumped out in front of me and flattened both drivers side tires and the front first rim to hit the curb needed a couple extra weights but other than that and 2 new tires no notable damage.
Glad you finally got a tow. Waiting for the insurance company to get you out must have been awful. Hope your car is ok.
If you're going to do Clayton's off roading, that's about the best posible result! Great memories for your kid. My dad getting bogged and being pulled out by a tractor was one of my best memories. So exciting! (Clayton's was an Australian nonalcoholic drink that advertised as "the drink you have when you're not having a drink")
Too many wheels for off road. 2 good, 4 bad.

@@ZeroFun You mean cyber fridge 😂
@0314doug as long as it stops common handgun rounds, doesn’t ding in parking lots, and doesn’t get paint chips on road trips, I don’t care what its calls!
There might still be clay mud stuck on the back side of the wheels where the pressure sprayer couldn't reach. Hopefully it's only that and nothing serious. 🤞 I had an issue where the wheel rim was somehow bent on the inner side where I couldn't see it and that was causing it to be out of balance. It wasn't a serious wobble, though, just an annoying vibration on the freeway. It was also repairable; I didn't have to get a new wheel. If it was a concrete culvert, you may have done something similar, although if it's still a "violent wobble" that would probably be bad enough damage to force wheel replacement, and I would think that tire wouldn't be holding air.
Alignment didn’t fix it. 1,000 miles or so later, got the wheels balanced and sure enough, Iowa mud was hiding inside one where I couldn’t reach it. You win! :)
Yay! Glad the wobble was just mud on the inside sidewall. But sorry you had the unplanned adventure.

It was certainly…Zero Fun. Things are getting better by the day however. Just need time to edit the next episodes. No one hurt though. Car is back on the road.
Zero~ Thank you, that is pro ! later, ;)
I went to the Sam Baker school of baiting the next episode!
Time to buy a new ev 😂… maybe time for something besides a Tesla
There’s other EVs?!? Wait until you see what happens in the next episode…it’ll buff out.
Obviously no shipments to the USA… but is there another company you could recommend that are in the USA that are similar to this awesome boat?
There’s one up for sale in Miami next week actually. Brand new. Owner couldn’t take deliver for medical reasons after waiting 9 months+. There’s something called a SmartYacht, if that doesn’t work for you. Most of the space is down stairs in the hull. I’ve been in one, lots of head bumping and stairs that my knees don’t like. But closest thing size and price wise. Has an electric drive option.
Paul, thanks for the newer walkthrough of this vessel. Some questions/comments: 1. Have you considered Carbon Fiber for poles vs painted fiberglass? 2. For the A/C - Is your current 5000 BTU A/C 12/24/48 VDC or must the inverter be on and it runs from AC? If the latter, please look at the Malbru DC units (or comparable DC A/C units. I'm pretty sure their units are more efficient and if you're currently running off inverter, haven DC unit(s) would be better. 3. Have you considered fresh-water anchor looker rinse/hose? 4. Please consider running proper gauge wiring to the from cabin for all the USB posts, as your video seems to show the older USB-A jacks and many are now moved to USB-C and more importantly USB-C with PD (Power Delivery) where these jacks can output 100 watts of power (that would require like near 10 amps @ 12 VDC for each jack). 5. Since you're shipping these in containers, could the cost be reduced by selling these WITHOUT batteries (but wired for users to drop in their own)? 6. The suede ceiling I'm sure is "pretty", but the upkeep, staining, marks and such. Have you considered a different material ? I've seen a few videos of the motor displays when you're sailing, but not seen regen numbers while sailing. Lastly, as solar panels are more efficient now, have you looked to see if there are panels that are the same or close in size that output more now than the original 400 watt per panel. I'm thinking panel efficiency has gotten better to the point where you could get 450 or even 500 each now. Thanks and look forward to stepping on one of these newer hull #'s in the near future and talking to you or someone on your team.
Something in this video reminds me of a scene in the fifth element when one of the Mangalore has trouble controlling his shapeshifting
All beings deserve to be free!
It was a very sad reindeer for sure. :(
Shocking they did not put extra battery packs along the hidden storage locker on the starboard side walkway…
So, the packs weigh a lot, and there’s already water tanks and other heavy things in the hulls. The entire things has been engineered for comfort, stability and safety. There is an option to buy a third pack in, I think it’s somewhere in the aft, and maintain all the balances.
Great, thank you. Any chance building in USA?
@jpmackin unfortunately, no. South Africa, under a large catamaran builder. Mine arrives in Miami next week however. Doctor said I can’t sail along the coast to get it up to DC, so mine is up for sale, brand new. HopYacht USA in Miami is scheduling test sails on it.
Okay, I need to fix some audio issues. Probably another 20 or 30 videos in the series coming, I’ll get better at this electric travel story telling thing.
Large windows not for big seas.
Rated for coastal cruising, inland rivers and lakes. Yup. Not meant for crossing oceans. Island hopping with good weather though - hence the name.

Excellent clickbait 😂
Old April fools day video. Sorry. They’ll do it some year! Lol
Yes, hybrid system could work, too.
Great couples boat with “occasional” guest. I would opt out electric engines if going for longer distance channel cruise like the great loop and stern brackets for a couple 10hp outboards…in front of the ‘beach’ seems plenty of room for a 20 gal fuel tank for estimate of about 200 miles at 6-8 kts, probably further as a motorsalier?
I mean, it’ll do 50+ miles on batteries alone now. Small generator and 20 gallons of gas would put it MUCH further for like $300 invested, while giving you the option to do weekend silent cruises for free on solar alone.
I re-read the brochure and at 6 kts there is only 2.5 hours of electricity or at 2.5 kts for about 6 hours both only about 15 miles. The generator will need to be running full time for 8-9 hours at 6 kts for about 8 gallons of fuel. That’s the same as 2 small outboard engines. I’m not including motorsailing or the gas input from the solar panels. The unusual sail rig seems suited for reaching or running not pointing-a catamaran weakness anyway. My point is motor capability in a catamaran is very important. The limited range almost makes the hop a day sailor or restricted by weather windows for favorable conditions/breezes
@TY-js9lk the trick is to slow down. It takes exponentially more energy to go even slightly faster. At 5 knots you can cruise for almost 10 hours. 6 knots is pretty much full throttle, and 2.5 hours. They did some videos of their travels, and with a little wind and just 1000 watts of power (solar was generating more than that), they were going 4-5 knots. It’s not a boat for someone in a hurry. Unless you put a 2kW Honda generator on the transom. Hah
@TY-js9lk oh, I believe they said it actually points pretty well, for a cat. But again, the idea is a casual, comfortable, easy to accomplish, sail/motorsail.
@TY-js9lk I’m not sure what brochure you’re looking at? From their web page: “Range with full charge At full throttle - 6.9 knots (12 000W) - 2.4 hours At a cruising speed of 4.2 knots (2 500W), the range will increase significantly to over 8 hours. This excludes input from solar panels during motor run times.”
What the heck did I just watch? That's so messed up!
That’s what I’m here for. Making weird shit!

Oh, man. For some reason, I've been missing your videos, even though I'm subscribed with notifications. Need to catch up now, but firstly I hope the best for your wife, you and family! You've been such a great advocate and importantly a realist about electric motorcycles. I'm sticking with you and looking forward to your marine adventures, even though I'm a lousy swimmer and anything deeper than a sink terrifies me! All the best!
everything about this boat is great but I don't like it at all.
Hahaha. What don’t you like?
Great video with Paul enthusiastic as aleays😀👍⛵️
I was surprise they are not using a heat pump for heat and cooling the cabin as well as providing hot water. It is far more efficient than resistive heating while also being able to provide efficient cooling.
They didn’t have heat/AC back then actually. But they added an extremely efficiency AC system for the American market. It’s DC and only pulls about 300 watts when cycling on. The water heat, yeah, it would be nice. I’m not sure they make tiny heat pump water heaters though!? It’s only 3 gallons or something barely enough for a single shower.
Can't wait for hop yacht Review. I wouldn't order one without first meeting with the team that assembles it.
I actually bought after the interview video I did with Paul. He’s so passionate, I had to give him all of my money. Hah Explored the boat in Miami (HY 003, I’m 004) and Paul let me record a guided tour with him. Won’t be long now before I’m sailing it up the coast - FL to DC!
@@ZeroFun how much did it cost you after delivery and assembly?
225K, plus shipping, which I'm waiting for the cheapest window possible to open up. Hopefully around 3k? Assembly included, in Miami. For 2024, the price went up to 299K, including shipping and assembly.
@@ZeroFun did you consider the smart cat?
I did, and I actually toured one in Miami at the boat show. Reason I went with HopYacht initially - the beam. Smart cat is small, but still wouldn't fit in the monohull slips near me that are dirt cheap. When I toured it, I was really glad I didn't get one. Steep steps, tiny passageways, hulls are small and claustrophobic also. Upstairs wasn't much better, the use of space just didn't feel good, it also didn't feel very high quality. More like a cheap charter boat - which is actually exactly what that one was on its way to becoming the next week. If you want to squeeze 6 people into a boat for a weekend, SmartCat is the way to go. If you want a couple or small family to have a comfortable time, HopYacht.
I do not like at all that the batteries have a gps tracker on them. They do that so if you don't make your payments on the boat, they can remotely shut your boat off. Then come repo it. No thanks I'll stick to good old fossil fuel engines. Same goes for electric cars. They will probably start doing this stuff to gas engine vehicles soon too. All thanks to Klaus Schwab and the WEF.
But they will say that they track the batteries in the interest of safety if you are ever in distress.
It’s meant to detect cell imbalances and any possible pack problems, before they becomes serious. But you can unplug the antennas and they won’t monitor its health anymore if you want.
@@ZeroFun Yeah I know what they are meant to be used for. But I'm guessing it voids the warranty immediately if you remove those antennas right??
@@richr909 they actually want to charge for the monitoring service now I believe. So, it’s just inactive if you don’t want it. It would be nice to know if a BMS is failing or something before heading off on a coastal cruise. But I’ll risk it and just assume it’s good until I see I red light. Skipping monitoring on mine.
@@richr909did your mother consume all the beer in the village while she was pregnant with you or at you just naturally on the spectrum?
Wow man! You can tell they spent a lot of time designing this thing. Super impressive. When are you sailing to New Zealand??
They actually had a famous naval engineer team design it - Du Toit Yacht Design. But yeah, Paul and Mary-Clare are all in on the project!
Glad i found this video. I was ready to put down money. I had no idea. Jay Leno should do a follow up, call out the company, and retract his earlier video. Otherwise, he's endorsing a ghost. And let's see Lightning sue Jay. That'll be a laugh.
