This looks to be the perfect "tool" to explore the PNW cruising grounds it resides in. The wind and weather here doesn't often cooperate for using outdoor helm positions. Having a comfortable indoor helm position extends one's season and increases comfort. Additionally, the PNW weather also doesn't allow for a lot of sailing. Having a bit of a motor sailor is a pretty good feature. For 37', there is a lot of boat there!!
Looks like a concept craft that would not be built but features of the concept would be integrated in other ordinary yachts. I feel fortunate just to see this yacht!
Crazy level of craftsmanship. Probably worth every penny of its asking price, considering the amount of labor and materials invested in it. From a practical standpoint, the market for the boat is going to be extremely limited. Someone will need to have the funds to do the ongoing maintenance that this lovely wooden boat will require. One criticism is the narrow side decks. Love to see those widened by even just a few inches.
Really wonderful design and very nice layout for the interior. Having the pilothouse as the salon means you have so much less claustrophobia then traditional layouts. With those settees down forward you have the choice not available otherwise as to where you would be more comfortable. Imagine this in a 40 to 45 foot boat!
By far this boat is “simply beautiful “ built simple and built beautiful!!! Most beautiful boat you ever toured that I have seen. The question how do I afford it? :(
I’ve never sailed before but I have seen other videos of sailboats that are more modern with all the bells and whistles. Why is this boat a “Holy Cow?”
Beautiful boat, but once again, for that cost, the options for a true bluewater vessel with all the bells and whistles is enormous. Definitely for someone that has so much money they don't know what to do with it.
Beautiful piece of art....the attention to detail is self evident...the only thing left to do, is add solar, perhaps a small generator, and for me I would have to have A/C...Canada does have very hot summers...but an ice free harbour in Victoria where year round boaters lay up for winter. Just surprised I didn't see a stern roller for tying up when anchored up in the Rain Forest....l would probably add to the electronics pkg. ie A.I.S. and depth sounder, perhaps a bow thruster. The Bilges were dry as a bone and very clean....
$1.4 million dollar boat for a mere $358k is a good deal! Beautiful boat. Reminds me of an upscale version of Sailing Magic Carpet II. Aladino-style craftmanship. Haircut looks good, too!
Rain Bear is an amazing boat! I read about her in Wooden Boat and Professional Boatbuilder magazines. Can't believe the owners put her up for sale after all that work.
That is not a traditional "wooden boat" with all the associated maintenance headaches. That's a wood epoxy build and that's a very different animal...low maintenance, easy maintenance when needed. Having owned both molded fiberglass and wood epoxy boats, I'd take the wood epoxy boat over a production glass boat any day of the week.
The rig appeared to be gaff. We don't know what keel configuration either or displacement. Nice boat, classy wheelhouse design. Very much a mixture of features someone wanted and no doubt sails well off the wind.
Very nice all around boat :)! If I was in the market I would buy It -- assuming it sails as well as it looks :)> I would remove the heater and install another bunk. Bunks for four is the usual/ necessary on this size boat. I'm not the type to do cold weather cruising. You can warm up the boat with the stove for early fall cruising. and or have a propane heater.
Are you sure that's a bathtub and not just more cold storage, like a cooler you add ice to, hence the drain. Seems quite strange to stick a bathtub in the middle of the pilot house... It doesn't look like the back of the bench moves out of the way enough for someone other than a little kid, certainly not an adult....
Its for sure a cooler as a supplement for the refer/freezer in the other seat. Maybe supposed to be for fish, but I don't think you would want to be stinking up the main cabin.
Worm Gear; spiral thread engaging a circular gear. I believe this is rack and pinion but its not worm gear. Kinda looks like Port Orford cedar or Alaska Yellow Cedar, Interesting choice using softwood.
but wouldnt be safe to sail in a gale. those pilothouse windows are not strong enough to deal with a knockdown or greed water. be a wonderful coastal boat for the right person, but there were some , ok many features that shout inexpierienced sailor , amazing craftsman at me. i think it is a beautiful space to live in however.
Pretty but not practical. For example: Wooden hull (why oh why?) Narrow decks (can't imagine having to squeeze past that pilothouse roof in rough seas). No granny bars (can't imagine having to work at foot of mast in rough seas) Etc
You don't know whether the boat is a epoxy-glass-wood composite build or only wood. Modern wooden boats use epoxy to seal the wood from changes in moisture as well as creatures who likes to chew on wood.
@larstheu true but whether it works well or not depends on how and how well it's done. I still don't see the point. But even assuming that it's been done the right way, there are several other practical concerns that I and others have mentioned, like narrow decks, lines running through the middle of these decks, etc
the old me of one or two uears ago was sad i couldnt afford a boat. the new me is laughing at these ridiculous owners that are letting their boats rot with sky high prices
WTF these people think their boats are made of gold. I put a mid to high price of this boat at 150k. at best, I would not pay even that, The wood is the problem not the good part. I would bet anything the wood is starting to show age and that will become a huge problem at some point without question. when is the question?
This is a stunningly beautiful and well designed boat. As your followers have pointed out, there are some real issues. However, if I had the fare, I could easily overlook the fact that this is a wooden boat. I would gladly make some practical alterations, and proudly sail this boat around the world. I will be watching for more of his designs. He gets an A+.
The level of craftsmanship is obviously of the highest order. This is as much a work of art as it is a sailing vessel. No doubt the maintenance effort/cost would be commensurate with the quality. If I could, I would take her in a heartbeat, never mind all the naysayers about any practical shortcomings. Worth the price just for the quality of the build. Bilges still dry from the looks of her. Stunning.
Beautifully crafted vessel and I agree - interior colours are wonderful. Very light and airy interior. I can’t imagine how many hours this thing took to build.
A beautiful vessel. I could even put up with the double end design. Love the retractable sprit, and the house. The 4-108 is more like 40 hp on a good day and underpowered for this 28k# boat with broad beam and windage. Even that could be remedied in the future. But I could never own this vessel. The wood construction is a labor of love. that is a love to work your butt off and bleed your wallet in maintenance. It you kept it in high latitudes it would help. But yeah, beautiful.
If the boats been built with the wood Epoxy resin coated and glass inside and out as required she will be good for decades.. on deck if the epoxy it over coated with UV resistant varnish she will stand up to the elements for quite a few years before re coating given the experience of Wharram cats and luxury UK wooden boat builders.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Yes, IF properly done. But I have just seen so many older boats of this construction delaminating and rotting underneath.
@@roadboat9216 Fair enough but i think this one was built by an enthusiast with experience and short of accidents I would say theres a high probability of this one being a 99%er. Even if you dont like the design layout. Im not a monohull fan unless they can get in close and dry out when the tide drops.. In the uk that be a long way and for a long time and we dont have that many marinas that are not tidal either. ..at least affordably.
Thank you for your great, low-key tour of a really beautiful "woody". Nothing else is like a well-thought-out, [ obviously from lots of sea-miles ], finely-crafted wood sailing vessel. What beautiful lines ! Fair winds, for decades, and decades...
I love it ... and I've always had that idea of a bath hidden under a bench seat cause its storage and then once in a while when u want a hot bath move the storage out real quick and have a soak.
and it is not a 1.4 m replacement cost...thats the owner thinking too highly of his own boat...plus it all wood and not even glass over wood, the upkeep on wooden and durability is just not on par with glass
Seen so many boats in my life , this one is amazing for its size , just one thing could make it better ? Build it to 50’ and make the Pullman birth the main cabin ? Just my idea.
Dont forget.... the USS Minnow left for just a 3 hour tour. A sudden storm, and the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the captain and crew, Gilligan all would have been lost. 😅😂😅😂,
it's a piece of art , but a maintenance nightmare . i had an choy lee 43 pilothouse which looked remarkable similar and there was hardly any wood on it but still 2 weeks work every spring with 2 persons ! it was kind of nice , me and my wife working away but when she passed , i found it sad and boring and sold the boat .
Our family used to have a 32’ wooden canoe style sail boat, certainly beautiful workmanship but upkeep and the time,money involved is huge beyond belief. Either steel/aluminum/fibreglass hull for me, saw our boat 40yrs after we owned it, had to be totally rebuilt in mid 80’s still was pretty though.
Yes, I love the lines of a Fisher 37. Had one under contract, but it failed engine survey ( a very important factor on a boat like this). Fishers are well built but very choppy below decks. This boat much nicer below too. But wood? No thanks. And underpowered too.
Fist SHE'S A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND SEXY LADY! I wasn't going to leave a comment until I saw the asking price!? I was truly expecting to see the asking price double of what is being asked for her. I agree with so many others that the number 1 thing that could make her better was if she was BIGGER! Truly a out standing vessel and made bye a Truly Truly talented person! Thanks keep them coming!
All very gushing but enormously expensive. I'm still waiting to see the chart table, spare gas bottle, comfortable saloon seating etc.etc. Under seat bath you having a laugh ! Sorry don't see it. Looks impractical and uncomfortable.
Surely that price is a misprint? You can buy a very good motorsailer for a tenth of that price. Plus most motorsailers with a pilot house have an aft cabin with a good size twin berth or double berth layout. So not a great use of space on a 37 ' boat.
knew exactly where you were when it cut to the drone shot. west point marina by bc ferries or North Saanich Marina but their pretty much connected. so many superb boats there
Paul has a good eye, and the boat is a credit to the builder.

Yes this as a 45 would probably be a contender for a safe, comfortable cruiser for us.
By far this boat is “simply beautiful “ built simple and built beautiful!!! Most beautiful boat you ever toured that I have seen. The question how do I afford it? :(
The saloon stove heater had two stacks. If one was for outside combustion air, that is a significant point to have made.
What’s more amazing? The drawn up plan or the end result! So Gorgeous 😅
Where I'm from, that speechlessness is preceded by just muttering "Bristol"
Cute little boat. A show piece for sure. I'd be very interested in what seasoned sailors think about it.
Beautiful cruiser. Perfect actually.
I dislike this boat so much. lol
I’ve never sailed before but I have seen other videos of sailboats that are more modern with all the bells and whistles. Why is this boat a “Holy Cow?”
You know, sometimes you see something that for some 'hidden' reason stands out from the crowd
Part two. It stands out and you can't say why. Cars, buildings, women, planes you name it it's just one of those things, and I love it.
Part three. Sometimes people try too hard and lose the essence of the thing, bit like my comments!
I don’t think he really knows. It’s just wood. I don’t think the guy has done much sailing.
What ever happened to that trimaran? Give up on it?
Beautiful boat, but once again, for that cost, the options for a true bluewater vessel with all the bells and whistles is enormous. Definitely for someone that has so much money they don't know what to do with it.
Your right is is a great looking boat.

Immaculate.
Why the two (split stacked) chimneys from the diesel heater?

Haircut looks good, too!
if you like this boat you should see RainBird a William Garden Design. Last saw her in Friday Harbor Wa.
Beautiful power sailer! But what kind of breeze does she need to start sailing?
Rain Bear is an amazing boat! I read about her in Wooden Boat and Professional Boatbuilder magazines. Can't believe the owners put her up for sale after all that work.
Perhaps she sails terribly
What's the history of this design and it's NA/designer?

Hmm, I don't see it. What part?
Please 2:29 tell me the wood heater exhaust pipes aren't in front of the helm. 2:23
how would that boat be for a solo sailor?
horrible
I don’t think that is a bathtub. Isn’t it more cold storage for fish?
Check out a production UK boat called a Fisher 37.
Quite George Beuhlerish.
Beautifully made? Certainly looks it. Beautiful boat? Well, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
It will need a gale to get it to sail
but wouldnt be safe to sail in a gale. those pilothouse windows are not strong enough to deal with a knockdown or greed water. be a wonderful coastal boat for the right person, but there were some , ok many features that shout inexpierienced sailor , amazing craftsman at me. i think it is a beautiful space to live in however.
That boat looks like Ben and MP's "YABA" in Small size. Here on youtube.
Not at all.
For a start. This is a boat, not a wreck like Yabá was.
I don't think that's a bath tub..I would assume that that a locker for the fish you catch ,to ice them down
Pretty but not practical. For example:

Bathtub ??? Beer cooler more like, fill it with ice and beer.
beautiful classic boat porn. the buyer for this salty vessel at 374000 is a grain of sand in an ocean full of beaches.
Beaultifully made but I wouldn't want this boat even if they gave it to me. Not keen on the layout at all and I definitely don't want a wooden hull.
They don't make them like they used to.
