Wow that is a gorgeous beautiful boat great story that was like watching a documentary on the History channel very well portrayed that was really cool that's kind of like Hollywood and history story put together nicely done thanks for sharing what a beautiful story and a gorgeous boat

There's nothing quite like a wooden sailing yacht - but one with this sort of pedigree... just wow.

What a beauty! Vintage sailing yachts always look incredible!

Gaff schooners are just poetry in motion, and this one's a real beauty. You'd spend the rest of your life keeping up with the varnish work, but it'd be worth it. And what a history!! All of the art deco elements are perfect, too.

When the legent and the story meets the present and everything is presented in a subtle and intelligent way, you have this video as a result. Well done David and the team. This video is perfect.

I like how much love the current owner put into preserving this amazing classic yacht.

Favourite every video on your Channel. More Classic vintage yachts please !

Nothing has the charm , the ambiance, the never ending maintenance , the bottomless pit of money. All the same great to see it preserved. Beautiful boat.Thank you super rich people. We need you after all for things like this.

This very well could be the absolute most gorgeous sailing yacht I have ever seen. The history is also something that is very intriguing and what a history. She is stunning!

Beautiful David... just beautiful! I want one. The rich and poor alike know what they want. Dreams are made of this! If I owned this I would make everyone watch this video of yours prior to boarding, You can NEVER have too much of a good thing!!!

Belle Époque was 1880's-1890's, when impressionists were painting, aka late Victorian. This yacht is from the Jazz age /Art Deco era between the World Wars. The Woody Allen film "Midnight in Paris" makes the distinction clear.

Beautiful Schooner. INCREDIBLE back story. I could never have skipped that

I’ve been on your channel for years and I don’t normally make comments but this is exceptional love it

The presenter took me into another world and time. I just understood that artists need the input of each other for own creativity. What a quality channel - I am on board now.

Beautiful inside and out!! They built such fantastic boats back in the day. Thank you for the historic part as well, always interesting to hear 😊

Hi David. Headey lammar, blazing saddles? Wow such history with notable celebrities. The yacht is truly stunning in a class of it's own. Awesome video thanks 😊

I really appreciate how much research you do into the history of these remarkable historical yachts, David. Your attention to detail is just as thorough as the loving restoration the current owner has given Weatherbird. The "new" Art Deco" fixtures and fittings look as if they have always been there. I'm with you . . .no modern vessels compare to these magnificent wooden beauties.

Another great presentation of what is a stunning yacht. The style of the yacht almost prescribes wearing period dress!

Loved the back story

Such a stunningly magnificent boat and I’m both extremely glad and envious that you got to enjoy such a spectacular moment that seems to transcend time

Thanks for the mention of the Opaline Glass in the light fixture... these are the little historical material & technique facts that I love to learn about in these vintage yachts.

I feel sorry for the present owner giving this boat up for sale, it is absolutely a time warp from another era. Thanks for the video.

Oh my, absolutely beautiful.

What a wonderful video!!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you David Seal! Thank you to your team as well! Thank you for taking us in a wonderful place! Thank you for taking us in a journey of discovery of history! Thank you for sharing with us those historical references! Those references and the history of the yacht really give the yacht the depth and the pedigree that make it a highly desirable purchase!!! Did I mention, thank you!!! Thank you for the passion for yachting that we feel wholeheartedly within your naration!!! Passion is something you cannot buy. But passion is certainly something you can feel!!! Thank you David Seal and looking forward to your next video!!!

What a beautiful yacht and what a well-done video!

Fabulous history, what a life it must of been. Lovely, yacht I wonder if the modern day yachts will last 80 or 90 years.

Magnificent yacht, magnificent introduction! You are a true dream maker 👍

Beautiful. I just love the older style boats you show.

Unparallel style !!! really breathtaking.

Well presented. Thanks.

wow! by far my favourite yacht featured on this channel!

2 sailing yachts in a row? Wow David...you are really switching over to the other side. Lol. Beautiful yacht. Quite a history as well. Amazing,

Words fail me. The elegance and beauty of a bygone era. I would rather cruise the Med on Her than any superyacht out there. There is history and craftsmanship. Beauty and practicality. A sympathetic update where needed. I am utterly in love.

Wow what a fine price of yachting art!! Very nice!! 👍👍

Great story telling. 👍

Simply incredible.

Boats and watches are similar...they are so much more interesting when there is a story behind him and no just shiny and expensive...prob why my favourite yachts are Seawolf and Christina O. Great video David.

Groovy video brilliant!

Wow! A real gem⚓🌊

Stunning. Cool 😎

Magnificent! Mahalo!

Now I'm thinking support vessels should always carry the sailboats.

Very nice video

She is definitely a beautiful boat

The deck is a GD cluttered mess of chaise lounges! How could you possibly sail that easel?

What a sweet profession, selling dreams.

I hate the idea of sailing, but your descriptive provenance, and it's retained beauty from the distant past has me wanting to be part of the voyages to come. 👍✌

The Murphys pioneered summering on the south coast of France. On hot sunny days the locals would be looking to stay out of the sun. The Murphys would throw parties on the beach at their home near Antibes for their kids and their famous friends. This spawned a now famous local arts colony. Imagine being there before all the modern development.

Great video.... I know you are not historians but FYI the Belle Époque. Is the period from approx 1870 to 1914

I generally don't like sail boats once they're over 10-15', but this is one of the few that I would actually be amiable to owning. It's a shame we didn't get to see the crew quarters and engine room, though. I did follow the link and seeing that this can have eight passengers and five crew keeps it quite intimate.

What a stunning boat , they definitely don't make them like this anymore.

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

Hey, the Belle Epoque years were from ca.1871 - 1914 and not the 1920s.

😍

Beautiful boat, incompetent tour. Had to go to the website to get a vestige of info. As a broker, I'm always amazed at how bad other brokers are at this job.

am i the only one who is shocked that this yacht has a La Cornue range on board??? you don't really see those on most homes to begin with, let alone a yacht. that's crazy!!!

I wonder if, when people who were this rich, privelidged and lived get old and are laying on their death beds are aware of how charmed and lucky they were. Or, are they resentful and upset to see it all coming to an end? I’ve known one gentleman who was this wealthy and lived a wonderful life though it wasn’t derived from privelidge, rather from hard work and living with chance much of his younger life. He died well, on his own terms and was happy with the life he had and his ability to leave something behind that helped his family.

Price?

Far out that is exquisite… imagine a modern J class like Svea kitted out to look like that?

How big is it?

Current boat designers take note, see the REASONABLY sized cabins??!?!?!? Yes, in fact boats dont need apartment sized bedrooms. Wow, mind-blowing, I know.

I'm almost 100% certain I'm going to win the EuroMillions tomorrow night so I'll be in touch on Saturday morning. What's the best time to get you?

It's beautiful! But could I sail it across the Atlantic?

Not for me, but I get why it would float someone’s boat…no pun intended.

Fabulous boat, no ship. However, maintainance will be hell in costs. Your skil in telling boat specs is not equalled.

She's been maintained in bristol condition.

She's beautiful and very lustworthy. I still prefer shenandoah of sark, my real lust.

Only 3.8Million. I think 2.7 million of that is the history of the boat. The rest is actual intrinsic tangible value.

Bloody ugly deckhouse.
