I love the sound of the engines in the background. When you're out in shitty weather, or idling along in heavy rain, that sound is the aural equivalent of a nice fireplace.
I grew up on the Shores of the Chesapeake Bay, two blocks West of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, and know how violent the Bay can become in a matter of minutes. The Fleming IS the right boat for ANY condition.
ABT is just the name of the company - they started out in Bow Thrusters and diversified, a bit like Sidepower who have just rebranded their company as Sleipner (the name of their parent co)
I spent 22 years on the Chesapeake in every type of boat both power & sail It is one of the greatest places on earth & should be treated with the utmost respect It's weather conditions can change in minutes & it will kill you
Reminds me of the time we had to head back to port in our Ranger Tug 27. The waves were much taller, actually so tall that we had to take care to head into them directly.
I don't know where you boat, but here on planet earth it takes time and distance for a sea state to build. I've had the anemometer showing wind like this with only a 3 foot chop because of lack of fetch. Ever notice how smaller lakes seem to avoid the perils of 30' seas despite strong winds?
GREAT VIDEO THAT THE VIDEOS I LIKE ! GREAT BOAT !!!! I HAVE A 47' SPORTFISH THAT IS A KICKASS BOAT WITH MY TWIN TURBO DIESELS BUT ON,DAYS LIKE THIS THE WHEEL INSIDE IS AWESOME!!! GREAT VIDEO !!!
51 Knots? You have to be kidding. No waves with breaking crests. Have you ever been out at sea in a Gale in a power boat? Looks like close to shore protected by the shoreline.
"51 Knots? You have to be kidding. No waves with breaking crests...Looks like close to shore protected by the shoreline." - Sort of looks like you answered your own point there, now doesn't it?
no rattling or squeeaking, except from the cheap ass wiper LOL, stinks, as you buy new wipers you never need them, except when they get old and dry... so you replace, and the cycle starts again! Awesome boat
Not really. You're safer in a sailing boat if you reduce sail in time. It has a proper keel for one thing and you are not relying on a motor! Also here I see a lot of wind but the waves are small.
@@ictpilot Nordhavn is good! But a sailing vessel has two forms of energy to draw on - wind and fuel. In my book it's intrinsically safer, though maybe wetter.
Thats shocking 3 million motor yacht and you can hear wind. I been in sustained 50 knots for over 3 hours apart from the odd thud and creak due to 25 - 30ft seas nothing. You hear wind due to bad insulation / gaps
This video was the number one reason for my decision to purchase a Fleming 65. Now all I need to do is win the lottery to pay for it.

Reasonable seastate what a magnificent boat
No dramas there, she’s travelling beautifully. Take a MUCH bigger sea than that to worry the old girl. I live for rough weather. Nice video, cheers.
The 65 Fleming uses American Bow Thruster stabilizers that have 9sq ft. fins with winglets. Forward windshields are tempered 9mm thick glass.
You're salesmen to the core. Not seamen.

I would never buy a boat from you! Go back to school!!!!
@@scottmcchesney6187 Sad life you have there. Keep up the good work.

I don’t think he meant a constant 22 years dumb ass
Surprisingly calm seas. No big deal.
All snugged up in the wheel house! It's alright!
That's during this kind of sea I sleep the best, off duty!

Not the waves of a 51 knot wind

Great Shot. Like to see what was going on inside of the boat

Love watching!
Would've liked a lot more of this...:-)
Love Fleming’s!

Nice , seems quieter than a Nordhaven.

One of the beauties of boating in B.C. - your wipers always stay fresh and hydrated.
Lovely vessel , the wind must be coming of the grass ?
Yes 👍
On the bay with this much wind? Must have been a Nor'easter!
that's gale force 9 isn't it
Great!
What is the sq/ft of the stabilizer fins? How many RPM were you turning?
those big windows arent as comforting in that breeze
Never understood why people dont ceramic coat the glass. You wouldn't need a wiper....💁♂️
absolutely not 50 knot winds lol
Lots of armchair skippers on here. 'Not 51kts' lol.
Beats out there in a sailboat!

@@cakemoss4664 I don't know about safer, rather be out there in a Nordhavn. Nice and dry and Nordhavns don't care much about the winds and waves.
@@ictpilot Nordhavn is good! But a sailing vessel has two forms of energy to draw on - wind and fuel. In my book it's intrinsically safer, though maybe wetter.
@@cakemoss4664 As I said I'll take a Nordhavn. Inside nice and dry don't have to fuck with sails, etc. The question wasn't safer, the point was nicer.
@@ictpilot Staying in port and going to the pub is also nice and dry! Also a few mill cheaper. Best wishes with the Nordhavn.
How high is the wave height?
So much spray from a Fleming hull, needs spray rails……
no real waves
Lol.. that’s no sea

Bad microphone always amplifies wind
Yes Lord, Onboard a Boomer Sub on Patrol Black Sea 1970s😂
State 5 Sea's😅
That window wiper is a joke.
Garbage! That was NOT the storm force you suggested in-the title!!
And you base this assertion on what keen insight, if I may ask?
Click bate, no gale here.
Gail bait maybe?
Really nice! I assume that there are stabilization fins on that boat? QUESTION -- How well do the stabilization fins work at anchor when rolling?
They don't. Stabilizers are made for use under way.
