    Martin's boat is a one of a kind eclectic masterpiece of sailing awesomeness. To think he has 95k nautical miles on his yacht shows he is a great and talented sailor as well. Thanks for introducing us to him Sam. Fair winds and safe travels Martin!

    Well Sam, you’ve finally met your match. Something tells me you may be on a similar boat one day. What’s not to like? Thanks for taking us along. 👍👍👍

    Everything Hupsakee , couldn’t be any better , tot hier aan toe and so on , Nice to hear this Dutchlish …Very inspirational , Martin knows what he ‘ s doing and did everything by himself. An older Sam , must have been a very exciting experience for you Sam 👌 thanks for sharing to all of us !

    We met Martijn today in Oriental, NC. He is one very interesting person! He was very cordial and allowed us to board the Prinses Mia, check out the entire boat. Happy sailing, Martijn!
    Thanks for the continued great content, Sam. Really enjoy all your videos!

    martin is so awesone, and so is his boat that he refurbished so much, what a treat!

  • @jwyzdm
    @jwyzdm 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    An incredible boat, all the work required and the colorful painting makes it. I noticed one thing missing which probably explains how he is able to spend so much time working on his boat, no TV.

    • @christine8863
      @christine8863 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      He does have a TV and stacks of dvds for watching on Rainy days. But when you are single handing a beauty like Prinses there is no time...

    What a fascinating vessel 🤩 It was like something out of Waterworld. While it was a bit hard to pick out every word, I didn't have any problems following the gist. I think I speak for most of us when I say that Martjin's English is way better than our Dutch would be 😂

    Hello Sam thank you so much for sharing martins story. I love everything about his boat. The inside has huge space and a shop and space to work on his engine. Inside pilothouse is beautiful set up I will subscribe to his channel to you both got it together with knowledge. Take care Sam and tell martin thank you also. From Ray Garrett Roseville California USA.

  • @halibut1249
    @halibut1249 3 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    It's a great looking boat, so spacious, the pilot house is a great feature (sail in heavy rains and winds in comfort). The boat has Martin's signature. I think dyneema is a lightweight tent material too; I didn't know it was so strong.

  • @Seafariireland

    What a lifetime boat. I love those old Colin Archer designs, super sea boats that were designed to sail as well backwards as forwards! They were designed as Norwegian lifeboats that accompanied the Norwegian fishing fleets when they went on group fishing trips to offshore fishing grounds. Great boat tour and I just am mad about “different” boats from all the usual “Tupperware teapots” that are everywhere! SkipRay.

    @dooleyfussle8634 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes, the Dutch are a seafaring people! They have to be they are about 40% below sea level! Martijn is a great example of their ingenuity and can-do-ness. To those who can't understand him, you just aren't listening hard enough. I find that if I really concentrate, I can understand them even when they speak Dutch. It is very similar to English. Also, pay attention to context clues, like Sam was giving in his questions and comments.

    Martijn's previous boat was Rotop. He did lots of hard work converting that. Sailed thousands of miles in it and Drake Paragon channel did three features on his life aboard 'Rotop Orinoco Venezuela', 'Rotop Chesapeak' and 'Visiting friends Rotop' in three parts.

U already know your boat REAL well and have a lot of sweat equity in getting to know that boat, what it can do, and what it can take. You can take off for a days sail whereas a ship of this size is always in the back of your mind. jmo
