My jaw is still hanging.... The quality is insane (including the upgrades), attention to detail is next level and the owners are saints for maintaining her the way they have. Her weight and keel as a CC means max comfort and safety though I'd like to see all lines land in the cockpit personally. But, for me, the star of the show is the interior layout. An amazing place for a couple to live I'm sure! If this weren't double my budget I'd put money in escrow today!
Stunning! This is an absolute dream boat, perfect in every way! Although I am left wondering where the sea berths are, watch changes in heavy seas could be challenging. I can't imagine trying to sleep in either stateroom on those inviting berths in an offshore blow (unless one uses a sleeping bag on the cabin sole).
was going to say for 400k it better have one...nice boat but about a 100k overpriced...its almost 30 years old, for 400 it should have new gen and main
I do believe this is one of the most desirable fiberglass vessels that you've shown....I mean it's from the 1990's.....a real awesome tour ....well done 👍
Thanks for the tour! Recommend starting off by declaring what kind of boat it is, when it was built, etc. Looks like it's a Bill Dixon design, built by Ta Shing Yacht Building in Taiwan from 1999 to 2002. It's in amazing condition.
Checking out your marketplace. Looks nice, presents well on landing. Can I suggest a darker background? Black or dark grey perhaps would be far easier on the eyes and draw more focus to the image elements employed for section links. A white font would retain or increase contrast for older users as well. Just my initial thoughts, looks great... going to explore it now!
Did you get a peek at the ship's log? It would be very interesting to learn the yacht's history under sail; it doesn't look as though it has had a hard life at sea, at all. How many nautical miles under her keel? "YACHT That Can Take You ANYWHERE....", the title says. But where has it been? Outside the Floridian coast? I am a big fan of Bill Dixon's and have made many surprisingly fast, long passages on Moodys of his design. Jordan, do you know if the interior design of the yacht was all from his pen? A ton of showy, superfluous kit on deck. Some of it looks dangerous in certain situations/conditions. Dare I mention the cabinet full of crystal glasses? Or were they Lexan? Still, if this is the kind of "look" you want, fine. Imagine this yacht after full day beating hard to windward in a gale of wind. I prefer something that actually looks as though it has earned its keep and for this asking price, I could get a whole lot more; a practical, strong, workmanlike, sea-going vessel without all the "look-at-me" stuff. It wouldn't be needed, or wanted.
Is there any way possible you could have made the link to your new website any less apparent and more difficult to locate? Moreover, you could speed up your audio part so you could be less comprehensive? Thank you very much.
Ok. Nice, very nice. Excellent condition and very well equipped. I just have two items of concern. 1. I don’t like the objects ( Jerry jogs, life raft etc) sticking out beyond the boats hull. Coming I o a dock with more than 40 thousand pounds of mass behind them. I have had scenarios like this with negative results. And 2. Again, a boat like this SHOULDN’T have to have a bunch of jugs on the rail! And in severe knockdowns and worse. Rails (even good ones like this are the first things to go. Oops! No raft. I had more tankage on a boat 1/3 smaller than this one. 200 water, 270 fuel and NO DARN JERRY JUGS on the rails. These can be remedied. Very nice boat indeed.
She's a beauty alright but not for the faint of heart. All that beauty, creature comfort and high quality equals high $$ maintenance. What do you think it would cost to get that rolling boom repaired? Bounce around the Caribbean islands, sure, but I don't think I would take her out much longer than a night or two between stops.
Wow. This boat is stunning and darn near perfect but I'm shocked there isn't a washer/dryer for the size and cost. Unless I missed it and if I did what minute section was it
I'm pretty new at the boat scene how much are they asking for this 50 foot? What kind of advice can you please give me I'm not rich but I see all these beautiful sailboats and I can feel in my soul that this should be is my life I'm 63
What an awesome boat that is a bit above my pay grade. I have one critique of your description. The forward head. You say it is awesome. And it looks very hospitable until you try to use it while hard on the wind in 20' seas. I love long passages of multiple weeks. I've lived in the V-berth. I'll be on an Oyster with a forward head next week. When the boat is beating into seas, that head will be almost unusable. It's why I reject any boat that has a forward master cabin.
This gorgeous boat was most definitely not designed for serious offshore cruising! She's perfect for the retired yacht club set to entertain friends on lovely day sails or coastal cruises.
Beautiful boat. I'd change out the stove and go with an electric if you have room for batteries and get rid of propane. Other than that...perfect sailboat!
Get annoyed at all these tours that gi round the outside first, fir me the inside is more important as that's where I would be chillin, cooking, sleeping, pooping and bathing, it's easy to adapt to the deck area if it's comfortable.
Absolutely - but it depends on the boat, and especially on the sailor. The boat must be designed to be single handed, and the sailor must be a well seasoned yachts person. For example, Sir Francis Chichester sailed his 53 foot ketch (Gypsy Moth IV) around the world alone in 1966 (celebrating his 65th birthday during the voyage).
Price upfront in the video would be nice for those that watch sailing videos the way they were meant to be watched on a 55" 4K HDTV. not some janky laptop or phone. console version doen't include vid description section.
This yacht is indeed nice, but the price is way too high. Right now there are multiple 54-56’ Halberg Rassy’s and Discoveries on the market for the same price, but they are 6-9 years newer.
If you want your website to take off, you need to make it easier to find what you're looking for specifically. It's not a problem now with only a handful of boats, but it will be a monster if it grows. Need more "sort by" options. The "list" view button doesn't work. The "filter" function doesn't work. I really like the map idea, although the boat I clicked that was close to me had no info and just told me to go to Facebook (which I don't use) If you're able to work out the bugs, I'll definitely use this site to search for boats in the future. Good luck. Edited to add... This is meant to be constructive criticism. I love watching your boat tours and your entrepreneurial spirit, and I truly hope this is a successful venture for you.
You really think that was an extra table mounted to the roof? Looked like it could be, but it has lights in it? You'd have to disconnect the electricity to use it as a table...
@Chris-zo5ze if you look at picture 13 on the listing, there appears to be a slide out that holds the other table as well as another, possibly a cockpit table. I think the ceiling mounted one is just fot hand holds and lighting decoration.
For people complaining about the term affordable at 400k you have not been out of your bunkers in a while. We have high inflation rates. Boating has become extremely popular since Delos, LaVagabond, the Wynn’s, etc have created jobs living at sea. Boating is not cheap! A great boat gets premium money! This seems to be a premium 50’ boat. Most boats in this range are 10,000 per ft so this boat is actually under valued.
$400k is equivalent to $200k of 10 years ago. We all live in the past. Taswell builds a very quality boat, not a current “ikea” production boat…it would cost more than $1.5m to replicate today.
People will think I'm crazy but I'm wanting to go out on the sea but I'm poor and older do you know anyone with good sailboat who could my dreams come true and help me get a boat and teach me to sail? I'm poor and I've watched my life pass
Perfect boat to go just about anywhere for a small family .. would trust this over a cat anytime .. just the ride id complain about .. like those big Fischers still for the ride angle .. may be slow but its about the ride not how fast you get there.. but this one is the next rational sailboat to me over those 50' Hudson force type sailors...the center cockpit did it for me. Its just missing inside steering capability.
Given its age and lack of some things (washer drier) as well as possible engine and generator concerns, this is far, far too high an asking price. Also, as others have stated, this is not a good interior design for passage making and long distance navigation.
Gorgeous. I have a feeling it was owned by people who are coastal cruisers and set it up to what they considered to be the end degree which includes the fantasy that you’re going to do ocean passages and live aboard. Thus you have the extra gasoline and diesel Pouches on the lifelines. If you’re doing real passages you have the water and gasoline and diesel that you need in permanent tanks not hanging off lifelines that’ll be ripped off in weather and the use of which will give you housemaid’s knee as you attempt to pour it in swells. But, still, a pretty boat. I disagree with the man showing the boat. It is not a large or even very social cockpit for a boat of this size. A glass panel cabinet for your “crystal” is a death sentence for any sailboat let alone a putative blue water cruiser. The boat is a coastal cruiser set up to be a boat show boat. Not a lot of time spent on storage. Not a lot of it to spend time on. Nice nav station. Nice galley but not nearly enough storage. Anywhere. It’s exquisite. It’s a push me pull you. It’s a fantasy boat for a weekend sailor with a lot of money who puts his boat on the hard each year in temperature controlled buildings. Which is totally fine.
Agreed, she's a stunner, but by no means set up for serious offshore cruising. She's perfect for daysails and limited coastal cruising where you can scurry into port at the slightest hint of foul weather.
Dock boxes on the main deck Forward of the mast? Seriously, dock boxes? They probably had to do two dozen deck penetrations to hold those things in place. What a shame turning a beautiful boat into such a kitsch boat
Will NOT buy this boat under any circumstances. Interior design is obviously not made for life at sea, ocean crossing would be manageable but not as comfortable as with a boat made for that, no hand hold, no sea worthy bunk, useless armchair that take all the starboard room in the main salon, etc… et… The sot of ugly doghouse (or lateral sided bimini? how do you call "that"?) increase windage massively and I would have doubts about the maneuverability of the boat in storm conditions. This is a boat for Sunday sailors. You can live aboard, but that's about it. As for the comments from @Learnin the Lines it is not the first time that we get great laudative comments only inspired by cosmetics… that tells a lot about their lack of experience in serious sailing than anything else.
Agreed, this stunner was designed for the yacht club set and coastal cruising at best. She'd be bloody uncomfortable in a serious offshore blow. As for the host - I do believe he is the one "Learning the Lines" so we should cut him some slack.
learning the lines you need to stop calling all the fiberglass yacht go anywhere boats or even that can take you anywhere boats for some reason you think a fiberglass boats are the same as a steal or aluminum hulls yachts are when the fiberglass hulls are not able to go everywhere like all the steal or aluminum hulls are able go to.
folks think that they can get more thirty years later than what they bought and put in the boat are stoned. Maybe ask 200k and doubt anyone would pay that when you can get a new bluster IP for another 100k. But this is the land of the dumb so who knows. Nice boat for sure but it’s fiberglass and thirty years old with many issues at hand….better have 100k on continual standby for repairs
