How yacht design has changed over the years. Now she would be a triangle and the LOA and LWL would be almost the same. Looks wise there is no competition, she is fabulous! Please keep showing us yachts like these, just to keep us grp small boat sailors in awe!
What an absolute dream. Thanks David for this extremely thoughtful presentation of a legendary yacht. Never thought I’d get the chance to see you present a J-Class, what a great way to start the day!
Hi David. This is a yacht dreams are made of. A history captured in her lines with a meld of 21st century tech. The interior does speak for itself, literally. The beard looks very distinguished Mr Bond. Absolutely awesome video thanks 😊
Thank you thank you thank you David… I have been watching every video I can find on the J class yachts… they are just so so beautiful and graceful through the water. I’d imagine not overly comfortable at rest compared to the modern “stink pots” but nothing can beat these for tugging the heart strings
@8:40 The surrounding sounds and general atmosphere is amazing. I like motor yachts, but modern sailing yachts are next level in pure enjoyment and bond with nature.
Stop making me like sailing yachts. :P That interior is absolutely beautiful! The "day bed" at 9:04 should probably be used more often for salons in motor yachts. I really like it.
She is so beautiful. The lines are perfect. One small practical question, when doing an ocean crossing, how are all the breakables stored? I could hear the sound of shattered crystal. If I had the money I would buy her in a heartbeat.
I’m a carpenter and joiner on various yachts, It’s one of the few industries where your skills are in demand, used and valued. Although the market will never pay me enough to own one it is a pleasure to construct and fit the joinery in one. ❤️ This beauty is still not sold I think? Last I checked the asking price was reduced to €8,750,000.00.
This is the ultimate no-compromise sailing yacht in my opinion, to enjoy great sailing in great comfort and luxury! It can't get any better surely! This was an excellent review. Very interesting and informative
I suppose the big compromise is that being designed like an american defender, she isn't really designed for trans atlantic passages; she'd be very wet on deck in a storm with no protection and minimal freeboard. Though, I imagine you could still make it work.
Cool video. She's is beautifull, a dream afloat, but she doesn't deserve a Plastimo quartz clock... 🤨 And we would have been interested to see the crew accomodation as well.
Sailing ….. Hard to Learn and Master, Too much to do and handle…. BUT SEEMS LIKE THE PERFECT WAY TO RELAX AND WATCH THE WORLD GO BY IN SILENCE 👏🏽 Amazing Vessel 🔥🔥🔥🤙🏽
Yes, sailing...if you want to go in one direction you should always point the yacht in a DIFFERENT direction! I must admit though, I'd never seen the fascination in the America's Cup until I filmed this video. Now I'm hooked!
This is my new favorite video on TH-cam. Rainbow is an absolute stunner, and you have done a perfect job demonstrating her unique qualities. Well done!
As a New Zealander, we are incredibly proud of our small nations history in the America’s cup, I found the history in the beginning fascinating, thank you.
He he, looking good David 👍 👌. Nice beard. Good looking jacket too. Wonderful video. ...and no, I don't want to skip the history part. It is wonderful to learn about the history and the pedigree of the yacht. And you have such a talent for storytelling. You can really sense the fact that you are so passionate about yachts and yachting. And because you are passionate, you in turn are converting us too. And let me say that we are willing converts. Can't wait for you next video. My regards and best wishes to you and all your team. Ciao.
Dearest David, I was not aware of the connection with the Sopwith! Thank you for that snippet of information. Wishing you all good things. Your videos are such an inspiration to me.
I like the sailing yachts a lot more, there's a lot of craftsmanship and planning that goes into the interior.. Most motor yachts just look like a tiny floating apartment
What a beauty! It looked gorgeous, and obviously well maintained since she was built. I actually went to website and was surprised at the asking price. I was expecting a higher price .
Great story David and a very beautiful J Class with a sumptuous fit out; however just a minor correction, in 1851 the US was no longer a colony; yes, I know poetic licence
The plant of showing up at the America's Cup at the helm of this beauty is brilliant, but then everyone will sigh: "Oh no! the annoying guy that won the jackpot"
I sailed Shamrock 5 in Stormy weather across the English Channel and also crossing the Bay of Biscay heading to Gibraltar. As long as you reefed in on time she behaved quite well. We had a bit of a learning curve up on the foredeck heading into steep seas in the channel as the water would pick us up and push us pack 10 or 15 feet. We pretty quickly got use to coming off slightly and never had this as an issue again. Compared to other yachts I've sailed I'd be quite happy on a J class in rough weather. Having said that you do need to be organized in preparation and teamwork as the forces in question have the potential to overwhelm the crew and equipment.
I was hoping you were going to mention it was the Aussies who finally broke americas domination of the America’s cup. I remember watching the final race live when I was in high school. And of course the famous video of our PM Hawke just afterwards with his “any boss who sacks a worker for not going to work today is a bum” comment. Good old Bondy. We won’t mention he was a bit of a crook.. What a quality yacht. The craftsmanship is incredible. And another great video. Thanks for covering sail as well as power yachts. This one was a treat. And is that a beard I spot. Very distinguished. Are we going to see a pipe make an appearance anytime soon. 😀
Thanks for watching. I'm keen to learn more about the America's Cup, I've hardly even scratched the surface yet. So many great stories surrounding it. Nice idea about the pipe...I might just do that!
@@Yachtsforsaleblog I know only a little about the 1983 races held in Newport Rhode Island simply because it was Australia who were the challengers and there was a massive amount of hype that really did capture the entire nation. Alan Bond, who was from Western Australia was the person behind the effort providing the money and getting the team together. He was a multi millionaire who made his money originally from property development. The yacht itself was designed by Ben Lexcen and the big surprise was its famous winged keel. A lot of the hype around the whole thing apart from the fact that the US had not been defeated for 132 years, was to do with this as it was kept secret. Every time they lifted the boat out of the water, they kept the keel hidden under a shroud. The deciding race was beamed live from the us and it was on around 7.30 in the morning Sydney time. After the win they crossed live to I think a yacht club in Perth (Hawke was also from WA) to see a champagne soaked PM Bob Hawke sitting on a sofas surrounded by revellers , wearing a cheesy americas cup jacket who then uttered those now famous words. Even now after almost 40 years that footage is dug up and played occasionally. Can’t see Thatcher doing the same. Maybe Boris, I hear he likes his parties. As for any races after that.. wouldn’t know much except I think they now use those incredibly fast cats that do something like 50 knots or more. Oh, Alan Bond was later found guilty of some sort of fraud or similar of about $30million and sentenced to about 1 1/2 years jail in low security. Of course all the money was conveniently in his wife or childrens name so they got to keep it. What was that book you were flicking through in the video. th-cam.com/video/s8mdHO2_Zo8/w-d-xo.html
It appears to be a book titled "The Story of The America's Cup 1851-2000". I am not sure about the author. It seems there have been updated versions of the book (and even older ones) so I don't know if the contents would be the same just with more. It was cool.
Monohull sailboats usually aren't my type of yacht, but holy moly, that is a stunning ship.
It really is. The interior design is stunning! I felt quite privileged to go out sailing on her.
I felt the same way until I started looking into multihulls sinking from hitting something that monohulls would survive.
J class says it all.
You can’t beat a j class
@@satguy lol.

Scorpios is probably the closest thing built today, conceptually. Definitely not as much of a comfort option outside of racing however.
Maybe the most incredible yacht you featured on this channel.
What an absolute dream. Thanks David for this extremely thoughtful presentation of a legendary yacht. Never thought I’d get the chance to see you present a J-Class, what a great way to start the day!
Such beauty, and elegance
Hi David. This is a yacht dreams are made of. A history captured in her lines with a meld of 21st century tech. The interior does speak for itself, literally. The beard looks very distinguished Mr Bond. Absolutely awesome video thanks 😊
Your sailing yacht exposés are always my favorites!
Oh my...I'll need to watch this again. Then again. And again. What lines. And man, what a lot of canvas. Flawless. 😍
Thank you thank you thank you David… I have been watching every video I can find on the J class yachts… they are just so so beautiful and graceful through the water. I’d imagine not overly comfortable at rest compared to the modern “stink pots” but nothing can beat these for tugging the heart strings
Probably the best yacht video in the Internet. Amazing quality, as the yacht.
Congrats David and team.
So beautiful! The best footage of a J I've ever seen. Will have to watch this over and over... Thank you!
Love the soundtrack when we went below. What a vessel.
Those J class yachts are so beautiful. Great job on the presentation!
magnificent....technology and old fashion design together
The joinery in that interior is stunning!
One of the most incredible yachts on your channel!! Absolutely blown away
That must be the most beautiful sailboat ever.
Your videos tells a beautiful story about the ships. Thank you.
What a stunning yacht. Your video really does it justice. More of this type of content, please.
Thanks so much. Such a beautiful yacht, doing it justice is almost impossible!

What an incredible yacht the stuff dreams are made of Rainbow has certainly up the bench mark thank you for bringing her to us
The first 4:24 minutes were excellent, as was the remainder of the video.
Gobsmack beautiful lines sprit to stern! 🤤😍 The footage X 2 well done! Interior big complement to the look!
She is so beautiful. The lines are perfect. One small practical question, when doing an ocean crossing, how are all the breakables stored? I could hear the sound of shattered crystal. If I had the money I would buy her in a heartbeat.
Not even a Euro Millions lotto win would run to keeping that on the water. Utterly beautiful. Thanks David and the team.

De jongens die zoveel uit te geven hebben gaan voor iets nieuws.
Originele j boten bestaan niet meer.
Blijven copyright.
The yacht that dreams are made of, beautiful. the lust of my life is still Shenadoah of Sark, but this is a good second. Nice tour thanks.
Well, you guys have done it again. This video is pure class!
I am awed by her beauty! Great video, as always!
What an amazing vessel.
I never truly desired a sailboat until I saw this video. This is...sublime.
What a stunning beauty!
Fantastic is an understatement.
David, a legendary J class sailing yacht, wow see it go, love sailing, would love this yacht, was born in Southampton on the solent
Yes, wish that all of the yachts were that easy to write about!
This is the ultimate no-compromise sailing yacht in my opinion, to enjoy great sailing in great comfort and luxury! It can't get any better surely! This was an excellent review. Very interesting and informative

This is it! No point of dreaming about anything else.
Always a joy to watch your videos. Thank you.
Cool video. She's is beautifull, a dream afloat, but she doesn't deserve a Plastimo quartz clock... 🤨
And we would have been interested to see the crew accomodation as well.
This yacht is just a work of art!!
Wow! Gorgeous! Impeccable! Thanks David!

Thanks Nathan!
A boat of my dreams since I was a teenager.
OMG! That was a gorgeous boat!
Excuse me... Yacht!
Congratulations Neville. Perhaps I may get an opportunity to sail on her with you and other fellow Kiwis.
I wouldn't even dare to hope you would do a video of a J. Superb!!!! Thank you!
What an exquisite beauty… Appreciated the historic approach and the quality of the video 👍
Stunning.
And that is amazing!
As a New Zealander, we are incredibly proud of our small nations history in the America’s cup, I found the history in the beginning fascinating, thank you.
Thank YOU for watching. New Zealand has such an incredible history in the America's Cup!!!
Dream come true. She is now owned by a NZer
She's a real beauty. Rather envious of your job sometimes...
With this video you make me want a sailing yacht
Vey well done video, David. Bravo, Sir.
That Facial Fuzz suits you 👌
This is one of your most epic videos to dat3 David.
Spectacular vessel!
I love J class yachts. Only one thing keeps me from Owning one. MONEY
Great J-class yacht with quite a few technical similarities to the big Black Pearl but with a much more classic appeal...
David. The best video yet. Love the mega yachts. However...DAMN
CARRY ON SIR
Oooo, I see Northrop & Johnson has Sea Owl (62m Feadship) for sale!! I'd just LOVE to see you make a video of her! Perfect opportunity.
He he, looking good David 👍 👌. Nice beard. Good looking jacket too. Wonderful video.

This boat is in a league of it's own...just like the beard
Incredible yacht!
Amazing vessel
Dearest David, I was not aware of the connection with the Sopwith! Thank you for that snippet of information. Wishing you all good things. Your videos are such an inspiration to me.
Thanks Cecil, glad you enjoyed the video!
God such a beautiful boat.
Classic American Lines with all the bells and whistles what more could one ask for in a modern J class yacht?

Most interesting history.💪
Thank you for sharing.👍
She is breathtaking.🎯💯
I hope to make it to a race..one day. 🙏
Does somebody know which song is playing when the interior is shown? (starting arround 8:38)
I love any sailing boat ⛵ that can cruise along in light winds as if it's under motor.
Beautiful
Beautiful love wood 😅
A stunning yacht and so beautiful presented, thank you for sharing. Does anyone by chance know the name of the music played during the interior shots?
I'm saving up for Rainbow II.... it'll be finished in a few months, possibly in time for the Barcelona Cup?!
Funny to see how buyers of sailing yachts seem very competitive about their yachts and see it as a sport.
this is crasy
Magnificent....
I'm in love.
No portholes below deck? That’s creepy.
Great story David and a very beautiful J Class with a sumptuous fit out; however just a minor correction, in 1851 the US was no longer a colony; yes, I know poetic licence
Haha. I was pretty sure somebody would pick up on that. And yes...it was poetic licence.
Very good video
What song is playing during the interior walkthrough!?
someone has exquisite taste
Wonderfully dream
As a swede; my dream J-class yacht is obviously Svea. This is a good second, though!
In love.
Wonderful video! Keep the beard!!!!!
The plant of showing up at the America's Cup at the helm of this beauty is brilliant, but then everyone will sigh: "Oh no! the annoying guy that won the jackpot"
This made me dream as promised in the title…. Of the maintenance costs.
How do J-Class yatchs perform at heavy weather and rough seas, as in a southern ocean passage?
I sailed Shamrock 5 in Stormy weather across the English Channel and also crossing the Bay of Biscay heading to Gibraltar.
As long as you reefed in on time she behaved quite well. We had a bit of a learning curve up on the foredeck heading into steep seas in the channel as the water would pick us up and push us pack 10 or 15 feet.

I have a model of the 'Endeavour" for sale with a Tim Thompson book, full of illustrations. Willing to ship it anywhere in the world
Are you interested in buying?
David, What happened to Wider Yachts.....It seems we don t see any new yachts from them ..
sorry i just saw the video in witch you answered my question
What book is the narrator reading on the table?
It appears to be a book titled "The Story of The America's Cup 1851-2000". I am not sure about the author. It seems there have been updated versions of the book (and even older ones) so I don't know if the contents would be the same just with more. It was cool.
rainbow stands for hope? well a little maybe. the rainbow is a sign of God, showing His convenant with the people.
