Good choice to let the designer present the boat and its features. Those classic lines will never go out of fashion. Must be very special to go around the world in that vessel.
Has to be in the top 5 most beautiful yachts I've ever laid my eyes on in years of watching these videos. Extremely great design. Wish I was in the budget range to own and operate. Amazing naval architecture.
Wow! I've been hitherto almost entirely captivated by motor yachts, and leaning towards the bigger ones. However the idea of circumnavigating the globe in a sailing yacht this beautiful is very tempting.
Beautiful yacht, I like the interior. It suits the ship's design, pretty much what you'd expect it to look inside when you see the ship from the outside.
Wow! Not the first colour scheme I'd have thought of choosing, but it's SO lovely inside and looks to be very practically thought out. Most new boats are based around double cabins, it's nice to see a boat that has various sleeping options 👍
This is the only sailing yacht that I intend to buy. I want this for its aluminum hull, ketch rig, and centerboard and spacious configuration to bond with my children as we explore during the summer and winter vacations and to rent it out for charters when not in use.
Sailing yachts are not my style, but I hope whoever takes her enjoys. Seems to be a lot of up and down movement for relatively calm waters at 4:26, though.
Porpoising - possibly because she is not fully fuelled and provisioned. But I would agree not the most comfortable movement in a relatively calm sea state.
I was wondering if someone else was noticing the continual nosedive, hobbyhorse action in such a pleasant seastate. Thanks for confirming what I was seeing. I understand people want to say only nice things about such a pretty lady but, that was hard to miss.
Yes I noticed that as well, and thought there is nothing like a good old long keel. Either the entry is too fine, or the drop keel is too heavy in the centre of the boat, introducing the hobby horsing.
The boat doesn't look light and seems to be on her waterline. The sea is calm with a full set of sails. With all that , why does she bob-about so much. Way too much action - makes you seasick. Great looking boat.
The number 1 priority of any blue water cruiser should be the galley and this this doesn't disappoint. Are you really going to spend over a million dollars and have a kitchen that's little bigger than a kitchen found on some 1980s winnebago when your ship is designed to sail around the world for weeks at a time?
Is this good for the Arctic and Antarctic? The hull as strongly reinforced the Garcia 60 to withstand accidental impact with debris(containers, logs, etc.) and floating ice? Would this have a hull as strong as a Garcia or aPelagic?
If you watch the longer range drone shots, you can see that there is considerable swell, despite the otherwise calm appearance of the sea. Couple that with very little wind (in some shots you can see that the engine is running), being extremely close-hauled, and it's not surprising that she is pitching. But you would be surprised how little you feel it when on-board.
I really like the Giest but the deck saloon and "tails" of the Spirit of Venice is a strong contender. I wonder how the "tails" would look on the Geist
This owners brief was very close to mine but I added a electric square sail Elley Grey was built in 2012 so if you don’t have 2’5 million Elley is just £595 .
They are davits. The dinghy is hung from them and lowered vertically into the water so they must "stick out at the back" or they don't work. Most experienced long-distance sailors consider them un-seaworthy which is why blue water yachts above a certain size do not have them if they can avoid it. The dinghy is usually stored upside-down on the fore-deck, which this boat has the space for, so it is quite unusual, and, as you say, not easy on the eyes.
Give me a classic design sailboat any day. This ship is stunning. I could not agree more with the designer. If you have to spend a lot of time explaining you did something wrong!
Luck is 0.0001% Hard work is 100% .... instead of waiting to get lucky, start working hard and get lucky.... Hard work and investing in yourself is the best investment ever. a fellow creator][
Hard work is less important than being able to delay gratification. However hard work is 'more' important than intelligence. That said, if you can combine the three, delayed gratification, hard work and intelligence, you have it made. Virtually any dream could be achieved by such a person.
Is it my idea or does this yacht have too pronounced frontal roll? What will be the problem here, the poor position of the mast, the little ballast in the belly? I have never seen a boat of that size with that rocking, in this video the sea is very calm, too calm I would say, but the poor boat rocks like crazy
Many good things about this yacht, but that cramped up master cabin for a 75 foot hull and 90 foot overall length 2.7 mill USD boat, sorry to say it; it’a a turd !
No doubt she is a beautiful ship save for the eye destroying davits and the fake teak deck. Personally I would heve omitted the nameboards as well. There are some flaws in the interior which explains (may be) why she is for sale.
This is not a good design. The wooden dog house on a white hull looks odd, and so many parts of the design clash. The red color of the wood on the interior looks harsh, as do the tartan covered seats. Money can't buy good taste I guess.
