Matt Armstrong’s Yacht Update Is Wild Here’s What Happened(next part)

Matt Armstrong’s Yacht Update Is Wild Here’s What Happened(next part) A technician looked at Mat Armstrong’s yacht and said she was one of the worst boats he’d ever seen. His advice: put her on a ship. Mat did the opposite. Capri is a 1991 Ghibli 22, a 22-metre Italian wooden-hulled motor yacht with twin 1,000hp MTU V12 diesels. Inspectors found leaking fuel hatches, a fire suppression bottle last serviced in 2010, dead bilge pumps, a bypassed generator and a starboard engine that kept cutting out. The shipping quote to Southampton was around $82,000. Mat chose to sail her home across the Bay of Biscay instead. In this video we cover: What Mat actually bought, and what the refit crew found in Santander The repairs: fuel, fire system, generators, engine services and a stuck fuel valve Biscay, day by day: a brutal head sea, a lost radar aerial in the dark and a wind farm crossing Storm Austen trapping Capri in Brest, 300 nautical miles short of Southampton The real 1991 price of the yacht, and why the “million-pound” figure is wrong The Guernsey Press report that placed Capri in St Peter Port on the final leg What we know, what we don’t, and the open questions that could decide how this ends Was the gamble smart, or did Biscay just get lucky?
