Ingineurskunst, Design in höchster Vollendung - durchdacht bis ins letzte Detail - einfach großartig, auch für mich einfachen Mann neidlos zu bewundern. Danke für das Video...
You’ve got to praise owners who share such masterpieces with others, praising the designers, builders and looking after their crew like they were guests too. Tom Cunliffe made it into a poem and Tom Nitsch into a spectacle. Great Portrait
Sailing ships are mysterious and magical to all men. We have read the many books and authors of sea faring adventurers. It's a dream to so many of us. Borkumriff 4 brings it to life, with majesty . Thanks again!
This Schooner is my wet dream ship. Literally everything in a yacht that I have thought about for myself if I could afford to build one, upto and including individual berths for the crew. Fantastic boat!!!
Speechless. What a stunning presentation on a such a subject of maritime perfection. Congratulations to the owner and thank you for allowing the sharing of this most beautiful lady of the sea.

Perhaps this is what life is or should be about. So what’s stopping us? In one word, resources. In three words, allocation of resources. What does that come down to? Luck? Accident of birth? Chance? Ambition? Drive? Choose your own reason.
Conrad preferred 'passion' over 'love' for the sea. Sheesh, sometimes a man's passion for sailing exceeds his love for, dare I say it, a beautiful woman. And Borkumriff IV would just about do that for him.
It is the second time I come into thisi video... I have noticed one thing apart feom the mighty of this ship: full throttle, full sail, under up to 45 knots of wind? Is that for real? Maybe at certain quite open wind angle downwind.
@@PaulusPHM I was not referring to the vessel as being marketed. I was referring the wonderful job of seeing this sailing yacht, and the way in which this presentation was carried out. And if ever this vessel came up for charter and or sale, then this could be used to great effect for the sale/charter house.
Sure looks nice sailing in warm, tropical conditions, but there's no cover for the crew in bad weather / cold weather, or even just from the sun. Before that boat does a circumnavigation or an ocean passage, I assume some shelter / shade would be added?
