    Hello YF friends and family -

    As all in our profession have experienced, the industry has been a bit slow in the recent past; so, you can imagine the impacts on my micro-niche corner wherein someone needs/wants a support vessel and second crew to simplify his yachting experience?:rolleyes: It has been slow, but the good news is - high seas piracy has been UP - thereby keeping YES continuing with a nice amount of business. It provides the same challenges of specific customization for a client using existing commercial vessels as the foundation, most carry helicopters, and the guest cabins are designed for the charming kinds of folks that I worked with in the Navy. While we do have a couple of negotiations ongoing in the yacht escort world, I thought you might be interested in our current refit and upgrade project on this 246 foot, 25 knot beauty with heli deck and hangar included.

    If I was going to have a yacht, this would be my starting point......

    All the best,

    Stan

    Hi,

    If you are in the business of providing counter measures to combat/eliminate the threat of an expanded danger zone then of course business is up and so will a few pirates and their skiffs be too - up in flames.

    I'm sure we all understood that 'for our business' was implied.

    Looking forward to your next project as you've demonstrated with others, the end result is impressive to say the least.
