Top 12 Most High-Tech & Luxurious Yachts of the World ~ Octopus

Our runner-up yacht – built by German shipbuilder, Lurssen in Bremen – is called the Octopus. Owned by Microsoft billionaire, Paul Allen, this mighty vessel cost more than $200 million and staffs a crew of 60 members. Constructed to please such a brilliant and revolutionary mind, I can only imagine the technology of the ship is equally, if not more, advanced than that of Allen’s brain power.

The Octopus is 414 feet and features support for three helicopters on the top deck as well as a remote controlled submarine. It comes at no surprise that a yacht of such luxury and excellence requires a hefty upkeep and costs about $20 million annually in maintenance and services. It’s also likely that this upkeep requires the clean power of Evinrude XD 50 oil.

Top 12 Most High-Tech & Luxurious Yachts of the World ~ Maltese Falcon

Now we’ve finally cracked our top three with a true beauty, the Maltese Falcon. The yacht was built by Italian Perini Navi Yachts and formerly owned by American millionaire Tom Perkins. The 289-foot sailing yacht was sold in July 2009 for 60 million British pounds.

While the world’s largest and fastest personal sailboat has many luxury amenities, it is most well-known for its record shattering speeds. The DynaRig is responsible for its speed. The Maltese Falcon has won several awards including several from the prestigious Boat International World SuperYacht Awards. If you’re lucky enough to have a yacht even a tenth as nice as the Maltese Falcon, you should use Yamalube 2W oil to keep it humming.

Boat Engine Basics ~ Cooling

Last, but certainly not least, the cooling system of a boat engine is necessary for proper operation. However, where most other parts or functions of a boat engine are similar to that of an automobile engine, the cooling system is actually quite different. For a boat engine, raw water is pumped directly from the ocean, river or lake in which the boat is currently resting.

This water is then channeled through the engine block’s water jacket and is then circulated by the water pump where the water then flows into the risers. These specialty devices mix the boat exhaust with the water and the exhaust then forces the hot water back into the lake. And there you have it, in five days we have covered the basic parts of any boat engine so that, hopefully, you know a little more about its inner workings.

Keep your boat engine happy, clean and powerful with Evinrude XD 50 oil.
