Alexander Richardson must have been impressed by the work at Philip’s so much so that when he was asked by Edward Glazebrook to design a yacht he recommended Philips for the construction. Glazebrook was a timber merchant from Liverpool so it was natural for him to choose a local man to design his yacht, especially a man with a reputation for some fine yacht designs but given that there were plenty of shipyards in the North West there must have been a very special attraction to bring the work south to Philips. Glazebrook named his new yacht White Heather and she was launched into the Dart in 1909. White Heather measured 59’7” on deck, 43’ on the water-line, 12’6” in the beam and drew 8’6” of water. Her bowsprit took her overall length to just over 70’.

“My father was sail master of the Varuna when she was attached to the Navy before the TV series Hawaii. After restoration I was Crew member and I was able to go back and forth with the team to sail. They won some of the bay races.” Jack Davis

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

90 day fiancé's loren brovarnik looks unrecognizable in new selfie after accusing michael ilesanmi of breaking the law, the bachelor's joey graziadei under fire for getting cozy with another woman amid kelsey anderson relationship backlash.

Amid producer plant accusations, Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Gary King revealed whether the storylines on the show are all fake. A long-time crew member of the franchise, Gary King joined Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2 as First Officer. Although he has worked well with others during his long duration on the show, Gary's conduct has been questioned over the past year-and-a-half. Perceived as a womanizer for how he treated his female crewmates, Gary found himself in trouble on and off Below Deck .

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Gary King revealed the authenticity of the show's storylines.

In a post on Gary ’s Instagram Stories, he allowed viewers to ask him questions regarding Below Deck . One question asked if the producers influenced the drama at all. Gary jokingly replied, “Yeah they asked us to crash the boat…jokes, they have nothing to do with the drama that goes on. It’s an unscripted show.”

Although some of the storylines were far-fetched, Gary confirmed that the drama was real . This somewhat debunked speculation that producers had been interfering in the drama on Below Deck , and he confirmed that they just let it all play out.

Gary King Reveals If Charter Guests Are Told To “Act Crazy”

Gary will bring in viewers for sailing yacht season 5.

Gary opened his Instagram up for more questions, and some fans wanted to know about the guests that chartered the yacht. One fan wanted to know if producers told the guests to act crazy or if they were just crazy. In his reply, Gary stated, “Nope they’re all just crazy.” After the sexual misconduct claims levied against Gary after Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4, he continued to be very vocal about Below Deck and his time on the show. However, he denied the sexual misconduct allegations against him, which could hinder viewership for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 .

Even though many fans made it clear they would not tune in for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, it seemed as though some fans didn’t get the memo. Gary has maintained high interaction with fans of the franchise through his Instagram , with many interested in what’s coming next in the series. Although Gary’s allegations and lack of accountability was a huge turn-off, it’s clear that the scandal attracted new attention and interest, which is making Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 highly anticipated before its premiere.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

As many fans of reality TV shows know, even unscripted drama can be manipulated by producers. Although Gary has cleared up the rumors of producer interference allegations by stating that the drama and storylines are all real, it will be interesting to see how they handle the allegations lodged against him during this upcoming season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . It will be interesting to see if producers manipulate or avoid certain topics. Either way, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is going to be an interesting watch off of Gary’s appearance alone.
