Bury The Bow - Motor Yacht GENE MACHINE 180' (55m) Amels

GENE MACHINE shows she’s not just a beauty. Well designed, strong and reliable, the 55-metre AMELS 180 powered safely across the rough Atlantic and reached Gibraltar today on her way to the Med for a new season of adventures. Excellence in seakeeping performance and steel shipbuilding.

Great footage! You had some balls putting up a drone in this weather. God knows how you landed it! As someone who makes videos about yachting and flies a drone I congratulate you on this footage. (Or whomever filmed it)

The Gene machine was handling those seas like a boss!!! The video quality was amazing as well, great job to whoever shot that.

HEY! THANKS, GREAT SHOWING! GOT ME FANTASIZING ON WHAT I'LL DO WITH MY [HEESEN]!!! I'AM SURE IT'S BOW FLARE & DEEP MASTER CHINE!! HAS A LOT MORE DIGNITY IN A FIGHT WITH THE OCEAN!!!

[jasondepieri]

the apex of the bow under the water level... impressive!

[dshogan]

Now show the photos of all the fancy furniture and artwork and glass ware. How do they keep all that in place? Even in just mildly rough weather or waves?

[TomJoeSHOW]

Amels are tough ships these things are hard as nails

[therules]

Looks fun, Beside it would remind me of my earlier years in the Bering Sea. Doing 26 Knots in 30 Foot seas.

I might puke, but I would be smiling. I’d be playing the old National Geographic music full blast in the wheelhouse

[fadhly]

Is it safe for 50+m yacht in storm when crossing atlantic?

[climatixseuche]

look at the stern ... this thing does not only bury the bow, I would not want to cruise this boat out on the north Atlantic

[clifflee]

Anyone know what the pole/mast at the front is for?

[kiwimon]

Cool. Now I got a glimpse of what it would look like driving my luxury yacht boat out in open rough seas. Size and length matters??

[maxbackstrom]

Don't look to terrifying it's a wellbuilt ship, so I find the music stupid.

[-chiritbaepicpsychology]

I'd like to have it with my opton.

[debrick]

That's all I wanna boat for lol...

[MsMsmak]

Just watching this makes me want to puke my guts out. Twenty four hours of that and it would be the end of my yachting desires.

[karldiesen]

They should convert it into a hydrofoil instead. Then it would just fly smoothly above all the waves and consume one fifth of the fuel!

[christopherwhite]

If the ocean got angry in a storm for 5 minutes that ship would sadly sink.

Was that ship rated for blue water navigation ? Could you imagine that boat in 15 / 30 swells or waves. Let alone a roque wave ?!? Yikes !
