    Oh my - at 78, this boat is 20 years my younger. I was just beginning my first "tour" in the fight for my life jungles of Vietnam. I so wish I was in such good condition. As the old comedian said - "If I knew I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself, but had far less fun!". Thanks, Nick and everyone involved with this amazing yacht.

    Now that is what I call a “proper” yacht! None of the plastic soulless things that you normally show. The modern yachts are fine and well but they have lost that boat feel that this exudes. Most of them are just floating apartments, they are NOT boats, ships, yachts. This is as they should be. Brilliant!

  • @ianscott3180

    I remember the Silver yard. They were still building them when I was a boy. There were two yards next to each other at the enterence to the Gareloch, now home to the UK atomic submarine fleet. 11:00 Back them the Clyde had many yards building sailing yachts. They have all gone. This would have been one of the larger Silver yachts. Even back then they were thought to be special. How life has changed, I sail a soulless Beneteau on the South Coast and the Med.

    • @colinritchie1510
      @colinritchie1510 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Spot on! I lived not far from Silvers yard on the Gareloch and it was always a great occasion when their latest vessel was launched. I have been aboard quite a few of these beautiful creations, and my father bought a Sivers motoryacht which was built long before this Silver Cavalier and it has been renovated by a more recent owner and is sailing the seas today.

    What an absolutely beautiful boat. You just keep finding the most amazing boats to show us. 2 things really stand out, for me. First, the amazing amount of storage drawers in the owner's cabin, not so much hanging space, but I'd think leisure wear works folded in drawers. Second, beam of the boat matters. These older yachts aren't as wide, and you can certainly see how that matters in this design. Just more compact. I think I could happily live on this beauty.

    Some of these new yachts could take a page or two from this amazing classic. I really like the seating along three sides of the salon with the integrated dinning table and the long storage side bar along the opposite side of the salon. It's just so practical and as Nick would say; works so well. Can you imagine how much it would cost to re-create this gorgeous vessel? No particle board in this beauty. Thanks for bringing this outstanding example of marine perfection to our attention Nick.

      I went down the interweb rabbit hole, and discovered the brokerage started as a fork off the original yacht building company, which grew from a shipyard established in 1782.
      Same genes, different generations, although the brokerage was sold off to new management in 1989.
      Still maintaining the same peerless standards 200 years later.

There was always something interesting to see and people to meet who were working on their yachts. It was lovely to see this boat. A real classic. This is the boat I would buy if I had the money.

    I am so glad that these old girls are still on display. It's something that your grandad would have loved. It is a wonder that they have survived after all these years.

      Please forgive typo meant to say 'enough' rather than English although for once correct in both instances. Also noted old F1 racing photos - hint at owners!

    What an amazing find! - I think this may be my new No #1 motor boat on Aquaholic - I love the steamer chairs the engine room and everything in between! But then I am a sucker for wood, and 1966 was a vintage year for many reasons - I only wish I had aged that well! Thank you so much for sharing and bringing such variety and class.

    Nick this is amazing. Can we see more of classic boats? Often the new ones are similar they become boring. This has so much class and own personality.
