So that's what the stainless bow plate is for..... Holly F*k that was gnarly.... at least no one(appears) to be hurt.
In the btm vid, is that yacht crashing through a concrete dock or is that the side of the yacht emitting the white dust on the stb side?

This happens more then your aware of, especially with new build yachts. Owners/Captains/Architects get the brightest ideas for control stations and “exotic” attributes. When Excellence III (M/Y Dream) was new following our crossing from Germany we went to Gustavia Harbor in St Bartz. When the captain stepped out on the bridge wing to actuate the pilot controls they shorted out while headed astern and we hit the pier transom 1st. Not a ton of damage, but none the less embarrassing and humbling.
The controls were housed in a flush mount streamlined part of the superstructure on the PT & STB exterior bridge wings. These had no weather tight seals installed; so rain water and salt just ebbed and flowed throughout the trip.

Majority of society feels the need to video everything and post it. I find it annoying. I don’t need a constant reminder when I do something dumb.
Yes it can be useful sometimes for insurance purposes when an accident occurs but...
Enjoy life. Put the phone down! Lol.
