Love how the Damen project manager said “She is the third from this all-new YS53 design and is a great example of our Yacht Supports which are built for purpose and non-stop reliability” when Bad Company Support 175 has been nothing but problems.

Blew one of the engines during sea trials. Did a whole rebuild and then blew it again. Had to have the whole engine replaced. I believe this was about a 6 month ordeal. A couple other issues happened but the latest is the fresh water main broke and flooded all the guest accommodations. I think it will be 6 months to remediate all the damage from this.

Wow Sheet. That was a bad start to a new build.
I can understand quickly if the new boat owner is a lil bummed.
Can you please keep us up on her progress?

Hardly. Bad Company Support 175's catastrophic coupling in the fresh water system is still being repaired. The smaller Damen BCS 150 is doing all the work on the now modified world tour at this time. Guess it pays to have a backup Damen support vessel. Who knew.
