This guy has great taste and clearly a lot of experience in yachting. So many good ideas he and the designers have created that most people would have never thought of. Definition of a perfect yacht.

It's a beautiful boat, but having worked with many brands from Italy, America, and England there's no way in hell I'd build an opening roof like that. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them has had problems. Just put in a fixed skylight and ditch the too-slow, too-wobbly, expensive and trouble-prone opening roof and helm chairs. Probably save $50K right there and a nightmare of future leaks and trouble. Of course, that's the true beauty of custom built - you can have it however you want. His boat, his choice.

@BadYossa 2 жыл бұрын

@@darthkek1953 Don't disagree with your view on the Spirit and a few others besides, but this is different in the sense that you see behind the sexy drone shots and actually meet the man who commissioned this beautiful vessel. His matter of factness (?) about design and engineering choices, coupled with the boyish glint in his eye and what would I class as a Wallace and Grommet approach to helm design, made this video something unique and utterly enthralling. This isn't purely about the boat, it's about the story it told. If it was 2 hours long, I would still feel "short changed". For the record, I'd have an Oyster 565, not to partake in regattas, but to bugger off down to the Southern Ocean and everywhere in between. Doesn't stop me from enjoying the amazing vessels I lust after on this channel mind 😊

Fantastic boat! Hats off to Mulder, Vripack, Guido de Groot and, of course, Mr. Healey. For a 60' yacht she has a lot of good stuff in her. The fuel bunker system is impressive as are all the other systems; especially that helm seat! Bit of history: My friend in high school had a 1956 Austin Healey, purple in color. The windscreen folded down into "race" mode and it was at about the same angle as the windscreen on this boat. So that made me appreciate this beautiful boat even more. Bravo, Mr. Healey! I hope you and Pendennis build a whole bunch of these lovely yachts.

It was my first car and I'd drive it every day which was pretty silly. They are not really a practically daily runner.

Probably has something to do with the main cabin above it. To keep the roof low so it can pass through certain bridges that can't open. I would assume that he would have rathered a flybridge with that crazy cool helm seat, but couldnt for bridge clearance.

@@blewyd Also they used/build the forward cabin as a master. But changed to get a better wiew. And how much time do you really use the master, standing up. It's a great boat. I liked the range on this boat, from UK to the Med, at 20 kn.
