I have to say they are the most , BEAUTIFUL looking yachts in the world. They got it right way back then. That is how a racing yacht should look, sleek, FAST and dare i say it....sexy. ..Well done. :-)

Absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship that goes into a yacht like this is amazing. I LOVE it! Magnificent!

That is a work of art, not just a J Class machine. It was a real pleasure to see aluminum being handled like that. World class stuff.

Incredible just speechless at the work and quality!

This boat really is a work of art both in the water and out. And even when it's in pieces, just amazing.

AMAZING!!! What a good looking work of art!!!

The sheer beauty is just awe inspiring. It's one of the most beautiful man made objects ever. I thought that they'd spray on some sealant, primer and paint before flipping it over. I'd like to see the rest of the build. Thanks.

Bugger me absolutely beautiful and really craftsmanship aswell very noticeable these guys know what they're doing

Absolutely beautiful. Art meets engineering. Beautiful beyond words.

Speechless.......amazing !!!

That's awesome. You guys are so fortunate and blessed to be working and building something so worthwhile! I'd love to come to work every morning if I had a skill that would qualify me to work on something like this! Building a boat is always a good endeavor.

WOW!!! What a Beautiful boat :-) They have to be very proud of themselves :-)

It takes a lot to impress me; this went WAY beyond impressive. Dave

Work of art!

The lines actually give me goosebumps.

love that ! good luck for U guys !!!

Beautiful !!!

Amazing, in so many ways

Very cool! It looks like a space ship :)

Very nice work thanks

Bloody well done, the Bloke with the tulips, to commission work, art as this is. A fine way to spend your guilders. The world thanks you.

Brilliant !

To describe this work as to the design and implementation as being sublime , well it is just not good enough but my vocabulary is not rich enough to do better than that. Congratulations to all the team involved in this venture.

Pure class

What a Beauty!

Please UPLOAD if you have any MORE FOOTAGE. I would love to see the construction of this boat from start to finish

merci magnifique

Beautiful yacht with excellent marine engineering construction & welding. I note welders have personal breathing apparatus. There's some great alloy welding & fabrication taking place at boat builders in USA, Australia, NZ, Poland, Canada, UK and Czech Republic - using skills/techniques that originated in the aircraft industry. Water jet & laser cutting means tolerances are 'tight' !

Prachtig mooi werk! Klassieke romp, hypermodern materiaal en vakmanschap in beeld gebracht. Dit is nu echte “reclame”.

Grace and harmony!!!

I had the pleasure of owning a J Boat. It was a J30. I raced it in Kansas and Missouri.

Love the traditional style of j class boats.

Such a beauty..Would even do as a Star Cruiser in a Star Wars movie

Where High Art meets engineering !

Perfect.

Awesome.

The netherlands number 1 yacht builders.

AWESOME😃

.It's impressive how few people with right hardware can build and manage (move and rollover) so huge boat compared with hundreds peoples needed in twentyes for launch a comparable J calss.

it'll really be a Super J!! Same exact look, but a full aluminium frame (and probably carbon fiber accessories?)... it'll be much lighter and faster than the original J class ships!

Was the structural design to Paines' original design, or is that modern technology?

I was holding my breath tricky maneuvering

That's a Whole Hell of a lot welding and grinding

An inquiry to Hoekdesign ( www.hoekdesign.com/yacht/j8-topaz ) confirms that J-7 Atlantis changed owners and was launched as J-8 Topaz in 2015 , more info here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland_Jachtbouw

I'd love to crew for you, when this is done.

Looks like a dolphin. Beautiful

Part 2? We didn't get to see them put the finishing materials on and other things.

Tricky job turning that J class

That's a pointy boat !!

"look it's heading towards that small boat" "That's no boat, that's a space station"

even on their head they look cool

Must be radical for the crew sailing on a J in heavy weather and seas without life lines. Maybe just extra exciting.

the bit where they laid it on the ground to re position the slings is missing though .. looks like a lot of money there though , spectacular ,, but why the missing part in the opperation.

All that welding going on without any sort of extraction! Lovely yacht though 👍

Does anyone know how thick the aluminium they use for the hull is?

There should be laws against uploading videos of J class yachts in anything less than 1080p...

Please come to SSIC shipyard at Ho Chi Minh City in Viet Nam

Nice boat

i would like to see the finished product (as well as a part 2/34 etc) if there is one. id also like to know how 9 people disliked such a piece of art. :)

She is beautiful

If anti-gravity generators and impulse drives ever get invented, you guys are the first I'll be calling to build my spaceship.

which costs more for a custom yacht (not a production boat), Aluminum or Fiberglass. I love aluminum.

While moving the hull, I thought it looked like a spacecraft from Star Wars. The pilot sits where the prop goes.

9:01 two inquiring minds flip it over, lol.

And it’s recyclable.

Faltou outro vídeo de como ficou depois de pronto.

I have class certification of BV,ABS, and DNV

💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍I welding catamaran aluminij in Croatia 🇭🇷 and deuchland cruiser Papenburg

which material? aluminum or steel?, how much weight the way it is?

Would love to race on one, pls send invitation 😂

Whats the weight difference vs a steel version?

Want one.

Love that long pointy nose of the J's...………Beautiful shape...….

Awesome! But why can’t the use stainless steal?

If you have the money then spend it. Looks like it's an awesome boat

This is the only video uploaded and the website doesn't exist anymore either.... has the build been cancelled?

Where was it built and by whom?

So, it's been almost 8 years, does the lack of any follow-up videos mean it was never completed?

is there a part 2?

I bet she'll be very fast!!

Upside down, she looks like the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

J'aimerais travailler dans une usine comme ça. Mon rêve

Well ... the question is .. will the teatables be made of alloys or teak ;)

It's gotta be intense turning that hull. You have a million dollars + worth of labor & materials in that hull with those straps on a pretty rounded hull. "Please don't slip, please don't slip. I do some little stoppers to prevent slippage on this one but many don't and, aside from straps slipping there are a million other things that could go wrong. They have a good track record though, I have only heard of a handful falling & most of those are related to shipping.

So what happened? This was posted 4 years ago and nothing else since.

Beautiful work. What about the American ship builders? Aircraft carriers. City,airport 5000 on board. Never the less this is beautiful art.

I want it, Ill seel the house the wife the kids, everything just to have it, pure beauty.

I want one.

like a razor!

It is outstanding what they have done in the j class building replicas but let us not forget the laugh little boy on the Block Shamrock five jk3 is the most original true J boat left in the world Endeavor has less than 10% have original structure velsheda I cannot say all beautiful vessels but Shamrock 5 is the most original historic jaybo left in the world hoorah it was a good ride

how thick is the haul?

Was this boat ever finished?

If anyone said to me this was built by Utopia Planitia fleet yards I would have believed him. The only things it lacks are the warp nacelles.

whatever happened to this boat? is it not participating in class races?

Хотелось бы увидеть результат.

undercover alien spacecraft build.

Это Яхта будет ?

''There is something big coming...'' 🙄 (Jurassic Park III)

Bad no no, when the keel section was being lowered onto the hull, a man was under the load.
