I just love this couple. I think it is great that Victoria described Rico's many talents. While accomplished, his list of experiences demonstrates that an every day couple has worked hard and developed a privileged lifestyle out of modest roots. They have become KZhead celebrities and soon will be running a charter business on their own 75 foot superyacht. Well done Nautistyles!
Yes, you don't go from EMT and Trucker to superyacht owner without brains and a well-developed work ethic that's for sure. They deserve praise for what they have made for themselves.
Well said!
What is this gibberish you spew?
The "Steering Wheel Spinner Knob" was invented by Joel R. Thorp of Wisconsin in 1936. The Brodie name is a reference to Steve Brodie and was meant to describe all manner of reckless stunts. The device is often called a "suicide knob" because of being notoriously useless for controlling the wheel during an emergency. Yes, Rico is multi talented, but most of all I want to know how he managed to hook a georgious bride.
Thank you so much for sharing! 💙🙏🫶
I all ways heard is was from truckers with no power putting there finger in between the rungs of the steering wheel and breaking there finger so then they made the nob to prevent people from doing finger suicide
Yeah, it's really easy to roll a car or truck at high speeds. Growing up in the middle of nowhere in the 80s I got to see it twice! Lol
I put a knob on my riding mower so I could use my other hand to hold my drink while mowing. It helps a lot to have a knob on a riding mower when going around things like trees an flowers.
I'll add, useless because back in the day they had big steering wheels and in an emergency trying to steer quickly, the knob would get caught on things (clothing, or a body part, etc) causing an accident.
I am so glad it is Saturday again ! Hello Everyone. So nice to see everyone.
Hey there!
hello from the UK .
Yup I look forward to Saturdays videos😊😊
I watch KZhead videos now more than TV, because of the high quality shows like NautiStyles!! You two do a great job and we look forward to your weekly shows!!!
I had no idea that it was a show. What season is this one?
Awesome...I love to watch the progress of their boat build,as well all the boats the show us
Wow, thank you! We appreciate you all! 🙏🏻💙⚓️
I've been following this channel for a while. Anyone could film themselves walking through a yacht. but you two have a way that makes someone feel like they are right there with you. all in a fun, inviting, and relaxed setting. I adore this channel and you guys. God Bless you both!
Awww thanks for sharing! You guys are the BEST! 💙🙏🏻⚓️
This is the first boat I've seen with a utensil drawer in a food prep area of a sun deck. It's the minor things that have the greatest impact.
Looks like a purposeful, efficient family vacation boat in this layout. Good use of spaces for a 53, and they didn't stuff it with a bunch of redundancies. Looks comfortable yet classy. Gotta love that long cruising range!
@16:20 dang that's lots of time as a paramedic. I got much respect for first responders from all walks of life.
As opposed to paramedics from certain walks of life?
@@markreynolds9135 as opposed to not all first responders are paramedics.
YOU TWO ARE JUST SO CUTE MESSING WITH EACH OTHER MAKES ME LAUGH.
Vicky and her Beatle haircut is so perfect for her.. we love you Vicky yah yah yah ! ❤️
suicide knobs were notorious for snagging a drivers shirt buttons. when turning quickly or during an emergency, they nearly always interfered with control.
Thanks for sharing 💙🙏
What a great “Cat House”. So roomy, great layout and lots of convenience features, but also real thought was given to its operation. Love the upper helm and 4’ draft.
Sorry, I am a generation or two before you Rico, that was, in my early life, called a Neckers Knob, and I had one on my 56 Chevrolet convertible, Black with a White top and red interior with a continental kit. It sure made it much easier to make out with your current, significant other. By the way kids, I absolutely love you both.
YOU GUYS ARE AT IT AGAIN!!!!!....ANOTHER GREAT YACHT FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 👏...CONGRATULATIONS ON 400 THOUSANDS!!!!!...VICTORIA I LOVE YOUR NEW HAIR CUT 💇♂️ ✂️ 😍....ALSO I LOVE IT WHEN YOU CLIMB THE STAIRS STAIRS TO THE FLY BRIDGE 😊❤❤....AND RICO THE MAN WITH MANY TALLENTS ❤️ 😄.
Please, do not shout 🤫
I always look forward to seeing Saturday morning roll around because I know there’s going to be a new NautiStyles video!! 🎉🎉. I absolutely love this yacht, so very beautiful but practical at the same time! I could definitely see myself spending lots of time aboard it👍👍
We your watchers are very excited that it is saturday. Hi, everyone, have a good day. This cat is huge.😮
Good morning Gary
Absolutely fabulous Aussie cat. Such a great design
One of the best proportioned,well layed out catamarans I've seen.Super livable and we'll worthy of cat of the year.Love it.Things people like me dream about.☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Glad you enjoyed Carlos!🙏🏻
Congrats on your 400k. You’re clearly onto something. Brava and Bravo. One reason we use smaller trash (we say rubbish or garbage) cans is that there is a strong education on recycling and low to no packaging choices. Geoff from the Great Sailing Marine Port of Fremantle, Western Australia🇦🇺
Yes! Thank you!!! 🙏🏻💙⚓️
@@NautiStyles❤
I have always loved yacht tours. They have fascinated me for as long as I remember. When my parents would charter in the 1960's and 1970's I would insist on photo's of the boats. Good job you two. Love the combo of you two.!
Thanks for sharing!! 🙏🏻💙⚓️
Thanks for the share Victoria and Rico. The device is often called a "suicide knob" because of being notoriously useless for controlling the wheel during an emergency.
Thanks for sharing!
I like this one. Not over the top but very like home. Great layout. Does not look cheap in build. That would take an in person view. Love you Guys, :)
Thanks for watching Thomas!🙏🏻
3:20. Yes Victoria, we know what you meant. You were right ! 👍🤗
🤪
So well put together!! A perfect blend of live-aboard, cruise around living
The videos are great, but I'd really love more of the affordable yacht series. I really enjoy the older luxury refits. Like Cheoy Lee or Johnson.
Noted!
I love how they added so much storage/useful space between the pontoons by making the whole boat taller
💙🙏🏼
I so look forward to Saturday mornings like a child 😂but instead of cartoons it’s Rico & Victoria ❤ the layout on this cat is comfy I like it and the fly is amazing of the 2 I would pick this one .
Oh thank you! 🙏🫶💙
Oh my goodness. We get 2 videos today😊. Thank you guys. Love it. Victoria you better keep Rico. He's quite a catch. Congrats and keep them coming guys😊🥰
Yay! Thank you!
you two are the best I've seen when it comes to talking about these fabulous boats. Congratulations on 400k.
I press like under 3 minutes. You both have a unique professional and casual manner of delivering the product. Thank you from Australia
Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers! Your videos are so informative, and fun to watch.
You all look well rested, thank you for the tour. Stay Beautiful. 🥰🥰
We call them "Brodie Knobs" here in So. Cal. Had one on my semi truck. Great for cars or pickup trucks doing donuts or generally ripping it up in the dirt. Also illegal in California. Thanks for the tour, cool boat! Have a great day!😊
Thank you so much for sharing 💙🙏
in the old days before power steering on cars and trucks, they used the knobs for faster turning, but the wheel would often spring back and if your arm was in the way it could break your arm hence suicide knob
@@RaySwitzer true
I grew up in so cal and I've never heard them called brodie knobs
@@stonedfacekilla okay, but that's what I've always heard.
Victoria, you will soon learn why the most of us call the bolster the booster 😊 I'm definitely looking forward to the day we meet...the 2 of you always make my day and make me smile 😃 😊 Thank you for being you ❤
Awww thank you so much for the kind words Brian 💙🙏
Yes they do a great job at it.
I love your boat tours. I can't stop chuckling because you guys are always playful. Thank you for more joy
Glad you enjoyed it - we appreciate you watching !
"The Circle Of Trust" was off the brilliantly funny films Meet The Fockers/Meet The Parents 😂.... Love your video's 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!! 🙏🏻💙⚓️
I love it! Great looking quality; huge volume for it's size. Aussie brand pride! 🙂
Such a cool boat..Spacious, and inviting..Makes you want to live,and have fun with your family on..as always love you guys,and thank you for showing us..❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching!
Oh I'm sorry were you doing a boat tour ? I didn't notice you were so Devastating In that lovely Sun Suit 😮❤😊
So much real estate on a cat. Esp the wider beams. Definitely get a lot of space. I'd love a nice 80ft power cat.
👍🏼
Great episode! Thanks for sharing!! Nice wide stable boat there! 👍👍
Wow! Cool to hear that Rico was a paramedic in Germany. I was a paramedic in Pennsylvania for 29 years. Now retired and watching yacht tour videos!
Lovely Catamaran. Spacious than it looks. Beautiful interiors. Thank you for the tour 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
You are both correct the increased height of the bulwarks increase the freeboard !
Thanks for the insight Scott! 🙏🏻💙⚓️
I always enjoy watching you guys. I will soon purchase a live aboard to grand loop it. You guys are helping me decide.
What a beautiful boat, and may I say that Victoria you are looking absolutely stunning in this video.😍
Originally I have referred those knobs as brody knobs.I agree very well designed.
Another great tour as per usual! You guys are the BEST! 🤩😍😘
Thanks so much! 🫶
That is one sweet vessel. Thank you for the content. 43deg and raining today in upstate New York. Thanks for the sunshine. And you are welcome for the subscription
Loved hearing Victoria talk about Rico’s experience.
I was a Volunteer ParaMedic and I drove "Big Rigs" for several Years, including oil tankers, and I drove buses for Private Schools... And I love being out on Boats! (but I prefer Lake Boats where I can still see the shore!)
I absolutely love your hair like that!
Cat's are amazing boats. They just feel so open and inviting, man the owners cabin is great and so are the other 2 cabins. Thnx for another great video.👍👍👍😊
Our pleasure!
Saturday such a fabulous day get to see u two. Great boat n excellent presentation as always
Glad you enjoyed it - we appreciate you!
@@NautiStyles is there a sailing cat in this version. I more of a sailor
I’m adding this vessel to my list of favorites, thanks for sharing!
I like these other ships but your bad to the bone ship, is what we all want to see. Yay! Wild Goose❤
🫶
Yes...we want updates of that boat of yours,...pls Victoria
@@NautiStyles I love watching you guys showing your boat being built,the progress,the excitement, and all the hard work everyone puts in ....amazing, and enjoyable. I wait impatiently for the next episode. Love from South Africa. Mitch
I love that Victoria threw out the idea of a panic room! 😂
🤣🤣🤣 you never know!
Finally able to watch on a big screen.!!
Yay
I recall the Suicide knob being called that because of the tendency for your shirt or especially coat sleeve to catch on it and steering you into oncoming traffic. There often was not power steering and it gave you some leverage to turn a big wheel giving you something hefty to grip, rather than a thin wheel. I remember my first time behind the wheel of a vehicle was my buddie’s 60’s VW bus with flat steering wheel with suicide knob, and a 30” skinny stick shift on the floor, and boy did it have a lot of throw between gears. Haha, was not the right vehicle to try to learn to drive. But the suicide knob was easy to catch on your clothing because the wheel was flat.
You two are absolutely adorable! Your cute little bickering banter back n forth definitely makes you stand out. And I say that in a indearing way. Love the channel love the beautiful boat keep up the good work yall!!❤😂😂💪🏼😉(the timeout comment for all the parents out there was so true! I swear my 4 year old enjoys timeouts , I think he plays some reverse psychology on my wife and I!)
Great tour! Circle of trust - Meet the parents 😊
This one big cat. Victoria...stripes ❤❤❤ What a really sharp vessel. You guys make the saturdays videos choices.. and easy selection. Thank you for such great presentations and being real..😊😊😊
Glad you like them! 💙⚓️
Another great tour as usual.
I just rewatched another ILIAD tour! That's great! 🤩😍😘
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@NautiStyles I did! I enjoy ALL of your tours! Love you guys!
🙏🏻💙⚓️
Very well conceived and built power cat. Plenty of space everywhere, no tight spots, huge storage lockers all over. Thanks for a very thorough tour of this appealing yacht.
Thanks for watching!
Love the dining area on the flybridge ……..and the owners suite! And you look adorable with the new hairdo 💇♀️🥰
Awww thank you sooo much 🙏💙
? Rico's hair always looks much the same to me....
@@davidmartin3947 😆
@@smartbiz888 Well, the compliment clearly made Rico blush and come over all shy.....
Fun and informative as always! Thanks, and keep up the awesomeness!
I was never a fan of catamaran boats, until I watched you two on one in the Bahamas or wherever you were at and made that video showing all the space on it. Plus if i had one, id like to have my little boat under the floor between the two pontoons and have a door to open up to get boat then lower it into the water. Oh yeah, I am one of those ornery old guys. So when you guys were downstairs in the master, in the bathroom opening up the cabinets to where you can see underneath the helm, if you had all the lights turned off and somebody open that upper cabinet and you grab their arm and then you started barking like a vicious dog you would scare them so good that they would probably crap themselves. An when you think about it that would be so funny, that would be a heck of a joke to play on somebody right. I'm just saying it was just an idea. I get those types of ideas several times a day. Love you guys.
Enjoyed the tour. Like your new Hair color. Beautiful as always.
Thank you so much John 💙🙏
Congrats on over 400k subscribers! You deserve it!
Congratulations on the 400k guys xxx
Lovely Stripes again this week Victoria! And I like your hair cut too.
yay! 2:05 downblouse Vicky is back! literally my favorite. its been a long winter!
Another great one!
Huge amount of storage!! WOW!! 👍👍👍👍😲😲😲😲
Wow man. High chair, time out chair, booster seat? Makes me curious about your influence. I enjoy the work you do.
🤪
To the did you or didn't you question, Rico is correct you said free board not bulwark. I got it though cause went right to how high the rail was. Got cha covered 😊. Question for Rico, is that a Panerai you're wearing sir. I collect so I'm always checking out your watches but first time asking. Inquiring minds want to know😂
Its funny reading everyone else's naming story, I was told that they were called Suicide knobs because they early models had a tendency to detach from the steering wheel.
400,000+! Congratulations! I really like this one. With a jacuzzi on top it would be perfect.
Another great video as usual!
I love how excited you guys get about storage lol
lol 😝
Very nice Cat..thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching!
Congrats Guys!!!
Victoria, yes you said it and I understood what you were referring to. The lift at 450 kg is good but is it wide enough in a following sea? The forward compartment could be a crew berth if you don’t like your crew. Alternately it could be a dungeon or the ship’s brig. I vote in favor of a kinky dungeon. ;-).
Great lay out, and style, those aussies do think about their booze storage! The only thing missing is solar and a dish washer on the flybridge; you don’t want to go up and down with all the glasses etc. Looks like a great live aboard too! Well done, you guys!❤
Congrats on 400,000 subscribers! 🎉
Thank you so much 💙⚓️🙏🏻
I love these two. They should check out my Conical Wind Turban, it'll blow away solar panels and should work great on catamarans.It's also bird friendly.
The device known as the "suicide knob" (also referred to as a "spinner knob," "steer knob," or "brodie knob") has a history that dates back to the early 20th century. These knobs attach to a vehicle's steering wheel to allow for one-handed steering, which was particularly useful for drivers who needed to make frequent tight turns or when maneuvering in confined spaces. The name "suicide knob" comes from the perceived increase in risk of injury from the knob during an accident, as it could potentially harm the driver more than a standard steering wheel. Originally, suicide knobs were used in heavy trucks, farm equipment, and by drivers with disabilities who required assistance in steering with one hand. They became popular for their practicality in situations where the driver needed to keep one hand free for other tasks, such as operating machinery or shifting gears in vehicles without power steering. During the 1950s and 1960s, suicide knobs also became a part of car culture in the United States, adorning the steering wheels of hot rods and custom cars not only for their utility but also for their aesthetic appeal. They were often customized with logos, designs, and materials to match the car's interior or the owner's personal style. However, the safety concerns associated with suicide knobs led to regulatory scrutiny. Many jurisdictions have laws regulating or prohibiting their use in vehicles, especially on public roads, due to the potential for increased injury risk in a collision and the possibility of the knob interfering with the driver's control over the vehicle. Despite these concerns, suicide knobs continue to be used in certain applications, particularly in agricultural and industrial settings where their utility can outweigh the potential risks. For drivers with disabilities, specialized versions of steering knobs are designed to meet safety standards and provide necessary assistance.
Names for the steering wheel knob include suicide, necker, granny, knuckle buster, and wheel spinner. In Canada, I knew it as a knuckle buster. On a non-power steering vehicle, the steering wheel could whip back to straight after turning a corner. If your hand was anywhere near, it could break your knuckles.
Very nice boat , thanks to you both for the walk through.
Same time next week Gavin?? 👀💙⚓️
It's great how you two cover major available options. Thank you!
Only the best for you Nauti People 🤪🤣💙⚓️
Super cool vessel 🚢 and super cool tour guides to show it off! 🎉
Glad you liked it!! 💙⚓️
Thank you for the tour.
Thank you so much for watching!
Something tells me I can’t afford this but I will look at it anyway 😂
They deserve it! I'm a fan of them both! Love nautistyles.They can really survey a vessel too In detail.
You are right...the Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher is the very best. Have one at home 25 years and going strong.
🙌 thanks for sharing Greg!
Gratz on the 400k ❤❤❤❤❤
Appreciate it!
On that boat, you don't need a bridal, as you have a chain stop, which is a plus for anchoring. No more leaning out trying to attach it. Yey!!!!! ❤🧜♂️🫠
perfect ! thx. again another perfect video ;)
Glad you liked it! 🙏🏻💙⚓️
What a slick Boat. This 53 Cat presents much larger. Thanks for the tour. Cheers
Thank you so much for watching John!
