My God, that boat is unbelievable. Unique. I love that galley/lounge area; really cozy, for lack of a better word. I could see traveling south Florida and the Keys for a few months with that boat. Turn the twin cabin to a small office, make some room in it for dry goods storage and some cold storage and let it rip. Your videos keep getting better and better, Nick. Thank you.

@mmsmits28682 жыл бұрын
Love the convertible roof! It would be a real drag (literally, aerodynamic drag) on a fast cruiser, but on something like this it's perfect! For American viewers surprised by the separate shower and toilet: that's very much a Dutch thing (don't know about other European countries). Typical Dutch homes have two water closets (toilet rooms), one downstairs and one upstairs, and then a separate room for the shower or bath with a sink upstairs.

Well I'm with you Nick . . . love that true convertible style roof. I'm not a big fan of climbing up and down to a flybridge and this eliminates that need. Also impressed with the interior layout and that stand alone shower compartment with the hidden laundry. Somebody's wife had some input there (lol). But seriously, this would be an ideal summer live-aboard for the Great Lakes Region of Canada, which can be subject to some pretty rough weather. I'd feel very comfortable and safe in this vessel. It's won a spot on my "favourites" list.

You had me at the Vara-Top. Nothing could match that. Then we went below decks to a sizable salon, a comfy dining area and well laid out galley. With the guests comfortably cared for in the forward quarters, seeing the owner's cabin is a delight. Sadly, you've made a title error - stating the boat is a mere 48 feet. It is obviously a sixty eight footer. NO? It's forty eight? Yeow - that is SWELL. Many thanks to all at Linssen and to you Nick, for making this video happen.

Beautiful, very homely and comfortable inside. As you say a live aboard. When I saw the inner lining on the wheel house roof I thought "Convertible roof, just like a car". And your right why hasn't It been done more often. But I will say they can be troublesome if not set up and adjusted correctly. Id hate to have it decide not to close as a rain squall arrives on the horizon. But I'm sure Linnsen's is one of the best. Love it.

I really like the of the separation of the head and shower forward. It makes it easier for 2 cabins to share toilet and shower facilities. It seems that they used to do that more often on boats. But now seems there has to be a full bathroom for each compartment. It seems wasteful to me, especially when the whole boat doesn't seem over large.

Absolutely gorgeous little ship. It’s so refreshingly different to the typical yacht. Was wondering where the refrigeration was?

@janentomenkafka2 жыл бұрын
Hi Stephen, I am pretty there's a fridge and freezer. However, both are probably not that big. A typical owner of such a boat is retired and spends half the year on his boat. But... most owners mainly sail the inland waters. European rivers and canals connect Amsterdam with Berlin, Brussels, Paris, the mediterranean, and so on. They spend months on their boat but there's usually a town or city within half a day asiling. Even if they go coastal a harbour is never far away.
