The way Richard is so calm and reassuring as he shows you around is refreshing. This may not be the most expensive boat in the world but you can see it works so well in aspects. I think a simple but well thought out design will always be the most rewarding. Very nicely done.

The few comments I´ve read seem obsessed with the salesman. OK, so he repeats himself a bit too much. Agreed. This video for your information is about a boat! A magnificent one at that. I´ve been boating for nearly 55 years, and believe me, this yacht seems truly remarkable. So, unlike some of the commentators here I thoroughly enjoyed the video and wish I could afford to buy the boat!
Richard's soft, monotone voice and soothing cadence, backdropped by well chosen music, is a mesmerizing ASMR experience. Especially when he's talking about wood or craftsmanship! The boat looks beautiful, cutting through the water, but COULD SOMEBODY PULL UP AND STOW THE DARN FENDERS!?!? Harshed my buzz, man. Yellowed my mellow...
At first I was annoyed by this guy. This is the second rig I’ve watched him rep. I just wanna spend the weekend with him and get a positive outlook on my life. Amazing. Well done sir.
Excellent video....LOL.. you never go on too long about the wood, you give the best sales narrative that I have ever seen on every boat you show, my wife and I love your videos
Range is pretty straight forward once you understand chart. It has 2400 NM range but at 6 to 7 knots deepening on hull cleanliness. He is correct in that at 10+ knots with generator running is about 10 USG/hr. Easier said, one nautical mile per gallon. Range drops to about 550 NM at 15ishkts and drops down to 450 NM by the time you are pushing over 20 knots. As soon as you exit displacement mode, it behaves like any other planing hull. That is except for the fact you can punch thru some really tough seas at high speed with that fine entry. It likes it........a lot.
Great yacht for the adventures of this world. The best salesman and a great expert in expedition yachts makes us dream of travelling the world, with the best boats in the world.
I am not a boat -minded person, a seafaring person . The word work is very nice. That makes for nice ambience. The hardware is king on this one, very intelligent design and function. I loved watching this video. Thank you for posting.
And this beautiful yacht can be yours ….. if the price is right !! Richard has such a mellow voice I think he could sell ice to the Eskimo's. I enjoy the walk thru of each yacht. One thing I did notice was in the salon area there is only a dinette and no couch or chair and no television or stereo was mentioned ? Do you just sit around the dinette.
So many time looking at her, dreaming about her, imagining travelling from Hyères to Corsica , Sicilia or Sardinia on her board... long life to Raw-Day-O with her new owners, I hope they are worthy of her!
Lovely boat, however to me seems designed more for enjoying the passage than living aboard for long stretches; the tiny salon (only sitting space is the dinette), master cabin is a fairly tight V-berth not much better than many smaller sailboats. Just seems to be a tight boat for having a 68 foot length, but as Richard suggests the best place will be the captain's seat on a voyage...
Easily can be designed to suit individual needs. The boat is built to Military standards so you have a safe vessel to get you anywhere. Adjusting your comfort needs is the easy part.
This is not a vessel designed for long voyayes. I reckon 10 to 12 days would be the max you could handle staying on this boat...Old mate makes it sound like you could sail round the world in it!!!
Fmart Mart and what was wrong with 1984?? Both an Orwell classic AND a great era to be a teenager in haha. This ship really makes me feel moist but I am as likely to own one as to bang Kate Middleton.
@mike force You're dumb because you can't spell or read. You haven't read anything you're spouting. It's bullshit. Does your mom know you're arguing with grown-ups? She probably needs to stop feeding your fat ass and turn off the video games so you can achieve something in life. Or, have a life for that matter. I'll dismiss myself when I damn well feel like it, Son. Now go wash the dishes.
@@airbear9445 What?!? Are you okay? Or did you have a stroke maybe? Yes, you did put some real, and some made up words, in random order, but it makes no sense!! What are you trying to say to op's comments about wood? Are you trying to say it's been a long time since you had wood? I would believe that.
Such a cool boat! If I had the money I’d buy one just like it. Except I feel like the stern is cut off a bit short. An old school rounded stern would look great.
Seriously, Richard could sell ice cream to Eskimos... Does anyone else play the Calibre Yacht Sales Drinking Game...? (You take a mouthful every time he says 'beautiful!' - you'll be well on the way to being horizontal by the end of the video). He's the 'Bob Ross' of boat sales...
@@miksbc - Yes, but she is a 'coastal cutter' or 'patrol boat' for off-shore operations (without the armament), NOT a trans-oceanic explorer...I have to agree with neal vaughan...the freezer might be easily added, but another 4,000 nm of fuel capacity is ANOTHER ISSUE ENTIRELY! Want to see you 'easily hop' to ice in Antarctica with 1500-2000 miles range...that's a fool's errand!
Your right, that is small enough to do the American loop, and get under the fixed bridge of Chicago, and could fit under the French water ways, you weren't lying when you said this could go anywhere. Points for honesty.
For several years I crewed as Chief Engineer delivering yachts all over the world. You couldn't pay me to cruise to the Arctic or Antarctic in a vessel with a 3/8th aluminum hull. We all know what ice did to the Titanic, and she was built with heavy steel plate.
Brittle steel held together with rivets, (a bit like you grandpa, and no-one would pay you anyway lol ) can't compete with material science of today, and radar tech.

There's something missing: a Bofors gun mounted forward. No more arguments with Harbour Masters, quick runs past the Somali coast with all lights and music blaring and a prominent position off Spithead when HM QE2 reviews the fleet. She is very reminiscent of the WW2 72' Harbour Protection Motor Launch of the RN, RAN and other Commonwealth navies. Some might remember the Shearwater (ML 1085) which ferried passengers from Arisaig to Eigg and Rum (Inner Hebrides) in the 80's and 90's. I believe she's under restoration at the moment. A joy to travel aboard her in 1994.
Awesome! I love the cake stand. Wouldn't it be comfy in the Northwest Passage to have a leather-wrapped steering wheel? But even without that, this is a lot of 1st-class boat for the money.
This boat can take me anywhere I wanna go? Wow, that's fantastic!! Okay, I've always wanted to visit the Andromeda galaxy. You know, check out a few planets, hit some golf balls into random black holes. Just your average weekend away. When can we leave?
@@UncleBoratagain Great idea, but... Exactly how are you going to load a Challenger 2 main battle tank onto that boat?!? Just....how?!? Pretty sure it wont fit into the tender garage. XD
its very pretty , severe lack of grab rails every where , active stab or not , but a five dollar bolt on the transom door would make me weep ,,, having said that , I could live with the rest very nicely , mind you in a boat that size , I like an engine room that i can stand up in , thats the balance between looks , space and practicality though , Its built on the pretty side of tough , I like the tougher side of pretty. great video though.
@@UncleBoratagain to me , the ultimate at this size and design is a Solent Mk2 class life boat ,,, lol but again , not every ones cup of tea . Id gladly settle for a 42 Nelson though , or one of the three 60ft Nelsons they built.
Looks like it has the beam of a cigarette boat and the master suite looks like crew quarters on other boats. Did you see the sliding door almost fall off the tracks on the bridge (clearly the weakest link In the event of a side wave). 68ft boat and a shoe box sized galley? Almost like someone built this in shop class-I don’t get it.
Glad I wasn't the only one to see the side doors weakness. Then he goes on about the upper hatch and how no water's gonna get in here! Wonder why the previous owner's selling it so soon. Guess that Antarctica trip didn't work out so well...
I wouldnt dare traveling anywhere really remote with it only having 2000ish miles range, espesially waaay north or south. Would have to plan any resupply spots carefully if so. Also, the engine hatch at the back doesnt seem to be shielded from bad weather. Imagine you having to go down there to figure out repairs, while needing to have the hatch open... while it rains or snows a lot. The overhang should have been like 1,5m longer tbh. Besides that, looked great :)
