I'd love to know how much it costs to maintain every year also how much does it cost to park up in a marina every year if any one knows pls leave a comment thanks guys love watching these I'm a city boy would love to live on a boat like this really would my dream its why I play the lotto

[@BlueSmoke00]

Everything made in Finland is absolutely top quality. I know it because I lived there two years.

[@VanderWieleVaarinstructie]

In the Netherlands when you put the blue sign verticale, you ask another ship to do a starboard starboard passage and when the other ship shows you also the blue sign, you can do a starboard starboard passage. What a beautifull and interesting ship and nice video to watch.

[@jameswatters9592]

So steering on the left rule isnt good enough for the Dutch then

[@kresimirzezelj8530]

My god, that is one beautiful and impressive ship of my dreams! Perfect for a family to travel the world

[@FLGurl]

Think of this vessel as a blank slate. Look past all the 'stuff' and this is a true gem just waiting for the right owner to take over and do a proper refit.

[@markjones1337]

Are you watching a different video? It's clearly 50 years old and made for a 10 or more people to have 7 showers a day. What else could it be refit too?

[@tip00former1]

I think the accomodation is in some need of a refit/ uplift with all those cabins and showers. I loved the salon/ kitchen space and owners accomodation. Plenty of space too. Hated the 1.90 height though, can't change that @@markjones1337

[@endlesssummer426]

What an incredible boat and so much potential. If I could sell my boat in a short period of time I would not hesitate to buy this one. For what we do with our boat this one is even more perfect. Take out all the cabins below, redesign that space and it would be perfect. I am speechless.

[@rp1645]

Thank you for sharing tour of this wonderful vessel. 😊❤😊 The master stateroom looks like a officers area went the vessel would have been Government usage. The below deck freezer storage looks just like big ships have. The vessel would be wonderful for charter up the inside passage of Vancouver BC. I could see myself doing charter going into those large bays that no one lives in. Letting guest explore with there kids ( all the bunk beds) digging clams shucking Oyster on the beach. I love the big wind shield on fly bridge, yes it looks strange. The controller up tops side could see myself there maneuver the vessel. I would want all the owners tools in engine room. Even though you don't have redundant engine, this vessel with just one engine could go far. I love it you find these great very ship shape vessel to tour.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for watching 🫡

[@Ulbre]

There's so much to like about this little ship (or big boat maybe better describes). First impressions is her look of sea worthiness and ocean crossing capability. Next is how spacious she is. The Bridge is huge, the saloon is huge, the engine room is just huge and spacious....you could add a wing engine in there. 11kts top speed when needed to get in front or away from weather. You would probably want to throw another 200K into upgrades if your intention is chartering, but still have price point way less than smaller six berth less capable yachts. Imagine this on a round the world charter where you are selling various legs of the journey....awesome!

[@kentpowell5427]

thanks - a great boat for a family to operate

[@rasferrastfarian739]

[@georgeburns7251]

Oh my, finally a vessel that looks like it can spend time at sea. Most modern boats are designed to spend their days tied to a dock. ( but of course, the newer boat’s brochure will say it will handle off shore seas all the way around the horn. Ha ha)

[@garywheeley5108]

1200 hrs over 25 years is 48 hrs a year its spent most of its life tied up ...

[@douglasthompson296]

Hi John, that ship looks the buisiness for proper exploration IMHO. Those who want a floating gin palace marina queen, then its not for them 😎. So much room for dry stores and im sure lots of freezer/cold rooms can be installed so you can distance explore easily. For an ultimate one-upmanship you have your own sauna, lots of others only have hot tubs 🧐 Cheers DougT

A very solid little ship. Plenty of potential for the lucky owner to exploit. I would certainly reduce the number of cabins to make more room in the others that are left. They could certainly do with some cupboard space.

[@johngauntlett4915]

What a classic and stylish yacht.

[@patrickabas1112]

Not just the Rhine but also all Dutch rivers, its passing starboard on starboard. It needs to be confirmed by the oncoming vessel, if not then you need to do the traditional way. Mostly used on tidal rivers as the upstream vessels like to hug the inner shore as there is less current.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for the info 🫡

[@ericmattinen4728]

Is that platform for a flag or sign of some type to put up when passing stb to stb? In US waters it is 2 shorts blasts of the horn.

[@richardautenzio8117]

Yeh! A real boat not a flash over side toy speed boat. 2.9mtrs draft displacement hull for this size is serious stuff. And its good to hear a real mariner appreciate this kind of tough boat. You really could take this boat around the world very comfortably. Very unusual interior design. Set up more for practical hard work living than luxury. However this could all be re done and brought up to date and then you have a very unique tough serious yacht. Love the practical "single" engine room. Some of the toughtest boats have only one engine. Thanks for this superb video on a real tough ocean going classic boat.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for the comment 🫡 I appreciate it

[@thecocktailian2091]

I cant stand the posh retrofits that these worker vessels receive. Much prefer the utilitarian layouts. That said, it does need some reworking, and that fake wood paneling is dreadful.

[@jehuhand8176]

The 3408 is one of the best marine diesels you can have. This is a boat for someone with mechanical ability, a couple with occasional guests or maybe kids. Yes the guest staterooms are small, but I don't think it is worth it to change the configuration into a few larger cabins. If that is what you want, buy a different boat. The key thing if you bought this boat is to go through the mechanicals. Over 25 years since the last refit and only 1300 hours on the motor means that you need to check out the mechanicals, there is something waiting to break. Service the keel cooler and the gensets and the bow thruster. Go through all the systems carefully. I think one would be happier with a larger dinghy. Check the plate thickness carefully. As far as having a wing engine, this would not be so hard to install. With three gensets, could even be an electric engine. The ZF saildrive would not be that hard to install and can handle 120 HP. An EV motor could be adapted very easily. This is a get home engine. Take care of your main engine, carry spares and keep the oil and fuel clean and you will be okay. With that huge radar mast you could even put a square sail on it.

[@tippyphil]

Waiting for so long in this video before getting to the engine room is frustrating. As an owner operator of large yachts the first thing i want to know is about engines stabilisers etc. anyone who has passaged in very difficult conditions (as I have ) recognises that your engines are life savers

[@USMC1984]

I would replace on of those huge gen sets with a second propulsion engine. There is enough generation on that vessel to power 4 big homes, but only one propulsion engine.

[@rael5469]

@@USMC1984 Great point ! I wonder if on a boat of that size if it would make sense to use diesel electric like a locomotive. Diesel electric is made for long range cruising, isn't it? Then....would you have two engines powering one shaft? I don't know....just thinking.

[@cedricebener4406]

The blue shield indeed is to indicate the intention of passing oncoming traffic starbord instead of port, whenever the shield is in vertical and therefor visible position. Not only on rhine, but also on other rivers in germany, and maybe elswhere in Europe.

[@bindatek8801]

The one thing that would drastically improve this boat is a wing engine, for use in emergency or calm waters (for economy). Many hours of painting would also improve the lesser used areas too. Good video and shows everything well.

[@michaelmarchetti1505]

Yes please 😅❤️❤️❤️

[@tip00former1]

Only Nordhavn fanboys complain about wing engines. Completely unnecessary as these engines are build to last and just need a spare if there is an issue. Engine redundancy is just there for people unable to make some repair. Ever seen a oil-tanker or any carrier with double engines or heard of any stranded mid ocean because of engine failure? I didn't 😎

[@kevinlytle6215]

Really interesting layout. I would feel really safe in this. Minor changes in the saloon/galley area, and other little things and she would be perfect for any area where you need this kind of vessel. The number of cabins is really nice but unless you regularly carry yourself and 10 guests you could create a VIP with a bit more room and private head. Anyway just wanted to drop a comment for you.

What a beautiful ship! I would much rather own this than a house.

[@gariusjarfar1341]

Why would one buy a house when one could live like this for less than half the price of living in the suburbs in cheep housing.

[@fragwitz8898]

that was gonna be my comment. I'd rather buy this than a house. with this you can visit other countries while having your house with you. And yes , it costs to maintain. So does a house.. (roof shingles , rotten wood that needs replacing , painting etc)

[@MrSpy13011]

Well....until you see the diesel and maintenance bills...

[@MegaDRjohn]

it costs far more, the maintenance is constant and far mor costly than that of a house, there are also docking or mooring costs in most places when you need supplies

[@edl617]

Far better than a house. If your put a battery generators in then you can have your lights and electrical outlets for the gagets

[@Icetea-2000]

Because of where you need to work. Even something that is majority home office will usually not be 100% remote, you need to be able to get into an office at least sporadically with almost all office jobs

[@scottpoeppel591]

Very excited to hear about the progress from Archipelago. Great stuff! Happy to hear they are thinking about steps off the back. Very important for MOB and also would really help entry/exit from a dinghy and maybe landing the odd fish. Would be interested to learn about sizing of the battery bank / speed vs range expectations for the hybrids.

[@pageant1fd]

The accommodation requires complete refurb and a couple of cabins sacrificed to benefit the remainder. Twice the purchase price spent additionally, would turn this vessel into a superb exploration trawler. Single engine would be enough of a handicap to sway me away from considering purchase.

I love watching these converted trawler and tug videos. I served in the US Marines, so I've been aboard w few vessels in my military career tenure. Your videos are amazing but if I may in my opinion say what if one had no boating experience (something to help with your channel or video editing). When touring the valley you mentioned a fridge and freezer, where was it? Maybe pause a freeze frame for folks to gather their orientation and oh there it is. The same with the navigation 🧭 table, and then the exhaust stacks and such to name a few ....like maybe an arrow pointing towards it for those less experienced and such. Nothing derogatory towards you or you channel but some positive feedback after action review if you will. Other than that I subscribed and love watching your content ❤

[@miketaylor5088]

A real little ship. With those two gensets, an electric motor coupled to the propeller shaft could provide a backup propulsion system in the event of trouble with the main diesel. Would likely give 4-6 knots with relatively minor alteration.

[@bobjacobs-x1i]

Im in love with this boat ,well maintained , if i ever win the lottery ill get in touch :)

[@pvdneste]

Well, that square blue/white 'table' at 10:30 is an official signal: the "Blauwe bord" When in use it is tilted 90degrees forward (the blue facing forward) and the white light in the middle is turned on (flashing). It is used when ships want to meet on the 'wrong' side of each other. Normaly one meets 'port on port' but sometimes ships want to meet 'starboard on starboard' or 'Blauw op blauw' (bleu on bleu). This procedure is used on the rivers (Rhine, IJssel). Where ships in the "opvaart" (going upstream, 'up the hill') usually like to stay on the inside of riverbends where there is less current to overcome. In that case the ships in "opvaart" show their bleu/white/flashing white light to signal their intentions to the "afvaart" (ships going downstream). often this is accompanied with some VHF communication.

[@wimschoenmakers5463]

That bleu plate is used if you see a vessel coming in your direction on the river. The plates turned vertical shows on what side the ships will pass.

[@briangarrow448]

I could see this ship cruising through the Inside Passage to Alaska with my family and friends and touring Puget Sound’s beautiful islands. This vessel would have a very happy second home in the Great Pacific Northwest-home of Salmon and Sasquatch!

[@EdmondDeGooijer]

De Blue bord is indeed for using on de Rijn and adjacent rivers. In case of strong headcurrent at the starbord side of the river it will be effective to sail at the portside of the the river. If you do so the bord has to be vertically, so other ships no you use or going to use de portside of the river.

[@markweaver3352]

Needs referb, but seems quite structurally sound. The price is good.

[@smartrail840]

Superb😊

[@hayesweggeman7069]

Sure is a nice boat.

[@brokerhc]

This boat is a gem. The only drawback is that I hate single engine boats. Serious question, in your opinion, can the boat be repowered to be a twin engine configuration? Maybe with two smaller CAT engines that vould even have a higher combined horsepower. From your video perspective it appears that there is room for two engines. I think it could even keep the single rudder. I know cost would be a factor but if the hull thickness is ok, it would add years of life to this old lady.

[@Prop_wash]

Yes it could, not hard to do if you convert to diesel electric

[@YachtBuoy]
