$130k GO ANYWHERE 46ft steel exploration yacht For Sale 100% ready to sail | Amazing value Full tour

[@AfricanFlightStar]

If this boat has not been sold by now then I'll be astounded. What an excellent vessel, and for a relatively low price too, wow. A pity I'm not ready to make the move yet.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

It seems to still be up for sale. It’s a small market these very specific exploration yachts. But I agree that this one shows incredible value for money for the right owner.

[@ryananthony6416]

Great video! What a dream vessel! Thanks very much for sharing, i really enjoyed the thoroughness in your tour of the vessel. Some great boats made in Australia 🇦🇺

[@pken9814]

It's definitely been sitting awhile. It's a great price for the right person.

[@flyingpictures1100]

the mast goes all the way up.😀

[@Boatlifeisbest]

Haha, apparently all the way up to 19.5m above the water 😉

[@modee-b9s]

I'd love to be in a position to purchase that beautiful set-up.

[@louisavondart9178]

Don't get too enamoured about where the boat has gone. That means you need a good surveyor to check it on the hard. If that checks out, it might be worth the money.

[@frankmiller95]

Exactly. Lots of clueless wannabees on this thread. A fifty year old boat, Corten steel hull or otherwise is still a fifty year old boat. lf she had a recent refit by an established, top quality yard that specializes in steel hulls and all systems had been checked, overhauled or replaced as necessary, there is no way the price would be this low. As a former, professional, offshore sailor and Class A licensed deck officer, there's no way l'd even look at this boat without overhaul receipts from A&R or Huisman. Something (might be) rotten in Denmark.

[@Kevin-zz9nc]

I would suggest you pick a side eg starboard....go all the way up then all the way back on other side. Pity about the lighting cos it looks like a nice boat......

[@christians6734]

The engine compartment was accessible when the engine was replaced, so no wonder it looks good. How about the rest of the bilge under the boards.. Also the interesting drive shaft with a chain, lots of bearings. Can the prop shaft be accessed from inside, e.g. to tighten the stuffing box.? I would also have expexted fixed guardrails and more ventilators.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

I would always recommend a full survey when buying a boat. But this one seemed to be very well maintained and I believe it has been sold.

[@RGL01]

Great boat!!

[@gbmacc58]

Interesting vessel for the higher latitudes. However, some of the deck gear does not readily fit your description of 'ready to go'. More like ready for some serious maintenance.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

What deck gear are you referring to? I didn’t see any big maintenance items on my tour but maybe I’ve missed something?

[@noopy24]

Amazing 🙏

[@srenaskjr3710]

"Big bag" furling xD, but it s OK. Interesting boat^^

[@IronLady-ej3dp]

Assuming she has a good AUDIOGAUGE report, 130k is outrageously low. If she had some suspect areas they can easily be repaired at a reputable yard that knows steel. Lets say you have a 75k yard bill- you would still be ahead of the game

[@χχάάοοςς]

She certainly has some nice touches. However, thats a lot of money for a boat this old in the current market. 90K perhaps? VAT included.

[@duckhorn]

does it have volvo ips?

[@charlesthomas8875]

Looks great. Price is fantastic. Probably worth every penny. Having said that however, anyone who buys a ship without a proper survey done by a reputable professional, is an idiot.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

Completely agree 👌 the yacht has been sold to a new owner and passed the survey without special remarks.

[@robertomotrin5717]

Beautiful

[@jumpyX2]

cockpits very small but the rest of the boat is bang on

[@Boatlifeisbest]

That’s the downside of a canoe stern, limited space in the cockpit. But it sits 8 people.

[@KSMsails]

Small cockpit = safe on blue water. Big, voluminous cockpits (aka, condos) are ideal for marinas. ;)

[@jameskeith9311]

What are the living accommodations of this boat?

[@Boatlifeisbest]

The boat is set up for chartering with a snug double berth behind a door and pilot berths in the saloon. But the interior can be modified to accommodate a cruising couple and have more storage space.

[@jameskeith9311]

@@Boatlifeisbest I would be interested in converting to at least 6 individuals or 3 couples. Is that feasible? More than modest accommodations? Thank you for your respond. I appreciate your attention. Have a great day.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

I believe the boat has been sold already. It would be quite some work to convert it into 3 private cabins. But it could probably be done by converting the storage area in the bow into a single or double cabin, maybe with bunks.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

Just confirmed with the previous owner that she is sold.

[@bumonthemove]

One tip. please move your camera around slowly.

[@jonathanscott550]

For me it doesn't have the WOW! factor. However at $130K it's an incredible price. So putting another $100K ton $200K into refurbishment would be doable. Definitely space for lots of solar panels. Overall it doesn't have the WOW! feeling. Thanks for sharing this boat.

[@frankmiller95]

WTF is the "WOW!" factor? Do you want something that's safe to take offshore when you're inevitably caught out in bad weather or some flashy POS which might kill you?

[@frankmiller95]

This boat is almost 50 years old. Corten steel hull notwithstanding, no matter how good it might look in the video, it would still need to pass a rigorous and extensive survey by a highly skilled marine surveyor before being taken offshore. Without that, or detailed documentation of an extensive recent refit, no thanks.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

Definitely always recommend using a knowledgeable marine surveyor before buying any bigger boat. This boat has been sold tough, to a new and happy owner.

Boats a little old mate for high latitude sailing that’s why she’s for sale

[@GoPoundSalt]

1971... 56 years old, I bet they didn't even sale it 100K

[@Boatlifeisbest]

It is currently for sale! On older boats it is all about the maintenance and state of the boat and this is one of the best maintained boats I’ve been on. She doesn’t show her age. I think she is well worth the money. Try and find a similar boat in a similar condition for less that has this fit out and proven history of high latitude sailing.

Thanks for the feedback, I’m going to experiment with a wider angle camera to slow down the movements and give a bigger field of view. This was the first video in this style and there is some room for improvement 👌

@@ryananthony6416 why is it that you consider his feedback as negative? I read it has positive and helpful as I experienced the same in this video and would love to see the poster benefit from improving. Even the poster took it as a positive. When we read things it's in our voice not the writer's, keep that in mind. I invite you to consider, Our attitude dictates our perception, our perception determines our direction and our direction is what leads us to where we're at 100% of the time.

[@ryananthony6416]

@sterlingarcher1962 negative wasn't the best choice of word. But I disagree with the comment, I thought the tour was great , and I personally did not struggle to follow. So the comment I thought was unnecessary. When someone takes the time to film and narrate a tour of an interesting boat, then post in the public domain so that others can watch for FREE. They are not necessarily asking for feedback from random strangers. They might ask for feedback from a family member or friend. People these days have this ridiculous standard for videos, too fast, not in frame, too much wind noise, the lost goes on... I'll give you some advice since you decided to give me some Sterling Archer, genuine positive encouragement goes a lot further than some critical feedback that took someone 20 seconds to write, in response to a video that probably took the creator multiple days to make. I do plenty of self reflection, and am very happy where I am at thank you haha.
