    Melodeon is a custom designed and homebuilt Motorsailer. The hull design is based on a Tucker 43 expanded to 47’ LOD. The hull, deck and superstructure are all steel, and the welding was performed by certified welders. Professional architects, engineers and trades people were consulted during all phases of construction, and Lloyd’s and ABYS standards were observed.

    Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.

    At first the 'home built' label made me skeptical - but then you realize the builder took 30 years to get everything perfect. No engineer could possibly anticipate the realities of boat life as well as someone living aboard for decades.

    What an awesome boat. Reminds me of something like 1930's junk steamer from Africa or South Asia. Plus with it being steel means you don't have to worry about much in terms of weather. It is eclectic but that is the charm. They did a great job. For a home build especially.

    You've taken the advice from comments to show all the boat and, boy howdy, did you include details during the final walkthrough. 🙂
    If I were to have this boat it would get a very major refit which, sadly, would likely wreck much of what the owner/builders tried to do as we don't seem to sail the way they do....not saying they are wrong but that we approach it differently. I hope she finds a new home with folks who can truly appreciate what the builders did and get the maximum out of her. She is an amazing vessel.

    My own ideal voyaging ship was a long keel junk schooner with a pilot house - and I bought a fiberglass hull and deck, finished it out, and crossed the Pacific in it. It was ideal - and I previously voyaged in a fin keel sloop with no pilot house. I named her Batwing, and she was in the Hasler McCloud book on the junk rig.

    Worked on a large number of boats and yachts from about 25ft. To 90 ft and this is by far MY favorite for its layout, safety, redundancy, and just over-all practicality. I LOVE the galley in the pilot house! Always hated cooking below and being tossed about but not seeing or being able to communicate, this overcomes that. This boat could go anywhere, and that’s where I would take it. . . . And by the way, I personally love the interior! Were I buying it, I would ask them to leave as much of the decor as they felt comfortable leaving to me.

    With the steel hull, what kind of corrosion inhibiter (zinc) are in place . Also what kind of grounding system is involved, for lightening strikes? Other than that ,I loved the boat from bow to stern. I am a huge fan of junk rigged sails. You can set them and forget them. No constant trimming, and tensioning involved. Tacking is easy. This is my ideal boat, and just the right size. You can tell the amount of attention to detail the owner/builder put into this vessel, with lots of love, and pride.

    Reminds me of a steel hulled Watts design ketch built in South Africa... Norica, owned for awhile by a German couple, then was a fixture on the lower Chesapeake Bay for twenty plus years and eventually sold to some Englishmen who were going for a round trip of the planet. Originally had a British Leyland Diesel, replaced with a Perkins in the late 80s. One would notice that this vessel seems a bit short on room for stowage for essential at sea necessities, spares. Even a boat this size becomes a bit confining at sea, but not too bad. Boats like this are generally very safe at sea, but the Watts could get knocked over in a sudden squall if you aren't quick in reducing canvas. One thing that the owners might consider is a fully chain rode for the anchor. Interesting that the builder/ designer went with an unstayed Junk rig. She'll be nice to handle, steady with the keel, maybe just a bit under canvased, though. But, the nice 'iron lung' to motorsail with will get them where they're going to. Have fun with her. It's a beautiful boat.
