$980,000 THE LAST SHANNON SAILBOAT EVER! W/ Walter Schulz - EP129

[@SrdjanBasaric-w2s]

You outdid yourself with this episode. The ship is flawless and the appearance of the chief engineer was epic.

[@YachtHunters]

thanks very much, Srdjan!

[@donaldklapproth8091]

Ahoy…appreciate your inviting us to enjoy your conversations and enticing tours of this imagineered sailing-diesel yacht (motor sailor) which is every sea-lovers thought-whisperer! Two things…a drawer for placements of “pearls and your wallet” comment…stoped me from all reality! Secondly…entering a port IS ALWAYS “mystical” after tying-up or anchored! 4:26 That is the “sensory experience in our souls giving us basic-achievement thoughts and enjoying our satisfaction in the cockpit of heaven’s travelers”! Thank you all so much for a wonderful way to enjoy a weekend together with your friends who understand your experiences with bumps and bruises, being related guts to help people who understand the lessons and how they are always looking at your safety concerns-and comfortable living. With human lives as you can imagine, what is they’re looking to be thoughtful of and especially with your family members and friends!!! Slk ❤🎉😅

I'm pleased RanDay got some recognition for all he does to make this channel a must watch. Thank you.

[@YachtHunters]

Thank you, bill!

[@louisfbrooks]

OMG, the three of you doing a transatlantic would be the ultimate show. What an amazing boat.

[@jimlofts5433]

trans A agree that would be noice - a bucket lister ticked off

[@a.googleuser1235]

I would pay dearly for a PPV subscription to the episodes of these three cats circumnavigating this yacht with their three mates.

[@garyf8790]

Thanks for sharing Walter with us once again. They don’t make ‘em like him sadly any longer. I’m so glad you guys did this episode. I keep my boat in the same mooring field and often wondered how wonderful it was below deck.

[@para1324]

Hard to find enough superlatives to describe this episode. Three fine sailors and a yacht a cut above. Moon Tide is beautiful. Walter out did himself with her design. Respect sent to all three of you. 👏⛵️

[@donaldklapproth8091]

Loving the yacht-inspirational and scientifically knowledgeably…named for physics… 0:00 “Moon Tide”!!! Slk

[@gammatech2225]

That was wonderful. Walter Schulz is amazing. Fantastic show. Thanks to all three of you.

Mr Schultz is great, he's quit the character. Ran Day makes the coolest friends.

Best episode ever! Amazing boat. Walter is the real deal. Curses like a sailor that’s earned it.

Walter is an American Success Story providing his gift of advanced diesel fuel technological Revolution…worldwide cruise times with new climate comfort technology for sharing with our future generations!!! Slk ❤🎉

Captian Q hosted a diamond-yacht Shannon with the American people’s cultural society in the worldwide community! His experiences are always looking for the best way to perfect each of our sea trips…either with your bathing suit or black ties!!! 🇺🇸⛵️😎☀️

[@RichardStOnge-vy6lw]

best episode ever!!! love the sit down with Walter and the warehouse talk, a man"'s man

[@Early8Q]

What an outstanding episode! The stars of the show are evident, but props must be given to RanDay for making it happen! Well done. And thank you Walter and Captain Q, you are gems! Keep on with fair weather and following seas!

[@YachtHunters]

thanks E8!! much appreciated

[@trailsandsails2722]

This is such a rich episode! The boat is amazing but that interview halfway in with Walter is terrific! He is a 'folks genius'- blend of practical mind, comfortable speaker, and of highly gifted intelligence. Love how he is addressing NOx & CO2. Marine engine exhaust is probably the furthest behind in pollution control measures. Great work Walter!

[@suzannebokatstone7650]

Walter is the real deal. When my bro in law was looking to buy a Shannon ( at the suggestion of Nat Benjamin who advised my sister and bRo in law that it was the boat to look at if you wanted a classic wooden boat but couldn’t afford to keep one) I accompanied him to Rhode Island ( and other places ) to look at a boat and visit the Shannon boat yard . Walter spent a good hour talking to us about sailboats and Shannon’s. A meeting with that man is not forgotten. His down to earth and gracious personality and great humor? He’s a gem. The BIL bought a Shannon 38 and she is a beauty - a reflection of her designer !

[@bendaves77]

Hopefully you are willing to share the edited video with us poor people some time because he's a wealth of knowledge and I could listen to him and capt Q talk all day and most the evening

[@christopherkohel8555]

My. Favorite. KZbin. Episode. EVER! (am I the only one who might have gotten a little melancholy?) I hope this channel goes on forever! Thank you.

[@gordonshaffer5560]

Captain Q, this is the best video yet and it will become a piece of yacht building history. Seeing you and Walter talk about sailing and the history that you've both seen is priceless. This boat, if still for sale, is the biggest bargain of them all. If I were rich I'd buy it and rent it to you and Walter for a dollar to take across the pond and give it a good year long shakedown cruise to Europe and beyond. This is way more boat than anyone like me even dreams of but I can see the twinkle in your eye and his when you talk about going for an extended cruise. Thank you and Ran-day for this video, this is how history can be preserved for generations to come. 👍👍👍

[@mountainmandale1587]

I don't think I've ever seen the captain wearing a sport jacket! This is obviously a very special vessel! Love the videos in a big way! Go captain Q and Ran-Day!

[@YachtHunters]

Check out the Hinckley 50 episode… it’s rare but it does come out for the occasion 👍👍

[@a.googleuser1235]

All three of you are delightful. I am so grateful for Captain Q and Randay. Walter--you are an American icon. The Shannon 55 HPS is the world's most perfect motorsailer in her range, and the only one in her class.

[@Mike7O7O]

Another gem. Thank you gentlemen. The chatting and banter flowing from three men who clearly respect each other and derive so much pleasure from each other's company is worth it's weight in Dinty Moore ;) Walt is clearly an engineer poet.

[@OnTheFlipSide]

I am lost for words on this, how can anyone not be in love with this beautiful yacht. Stunning, I would love this as our home to travel the world in. Sadly it's out of our price range, she is worth every penny! Walter was amazing.❤❤❤❤

[@YachtHunters]

Thanks very much, Amanda! Incredibly spacious and fast… easy to shorthand sail.. you know it’s good when the very discerning builder says “I’m going to buy one” cheers

[@malcolmwillis6450]

This is a boat to cruise the world in luxury. You can tell a well built quality boat by simple looking at the wiring behind the panel, neat and tidy, and well labelled.

[@Horstdelorenzi]

That was so much fun - thanks! It was a blast seeing Capt Q and Walter sitting side-by-side. I couldn’t help but feel like they were matter and anti-matter and if they touched there’d by nothing left? I’m probably making this up in my mind, but I see Walter sitting in the seedy sailer’s bar down by the water, rusty pickup parked outside, and the Capt drinking a scotch in the harbor yacht club, Jaguar parked outside 😂

[@guitarprism]

Schultz is the last of a dying breed. Glad to see him spreading the wisdom, and insanity of the craft. Well done, indeed. Now looking for loose change to purchase that beautiful boat. My problem is in finding too many Pennie’s and too little quarters. Great job, guys.

[@averagejoe1943]

I love listening to the designer, and Capt’n Q, talking about boats, and boat design! So much to learned for when I get a boat, hopefully l will avoid the pitfalls, and make some good decisions…. Thanks to Randy and Capt’n Q for making this channel available for free!

[@stallion78]

Amazing episode and even more amazing sailboat. It really is a dream boat. If money weren’t an issue….Hope to see more Walter Shultz, can hear him talking about sailing and sailboats for hours 🙏

Thanks Todd! Much appreciated

[@isaiahkafrissen7824]

Ah I remember Moon Tide. I helped deliver this boat up and down the East coast a couple times. Wonderful boat, sailed like a dream. I remember installing those batteries actually. Once when we brought her to her home port, Walter came by the marina and jumped on board and I got the chance to have a conversation with him. I don’t think he ever took a cigar out of his mouth. Great old salt with great stories. Hope to meet him again one day.

[@pancakeflux]

What a wonderful boat and episode. So great to see Walter on screen again, what a character! I would subscribe to watch you guys sail across the Atlantic! Go for it!

[@xanderlutz7856]

End of an Era, a romantic link to the past. Look forward to continuing practical content from Randy - there are lots of us out here trying to figure x,y,z with our boats!

[@HakureiReimuOfficial]

Hell, the boat is not for my young ass, but I'm sure convinced of it. Usually when a boat is not to my taste I enjoy the episode but come out thinking 'eh' about the boat, but not this one, this one is awesome for its proper target audience (the Captain. Captain Q is the audience). Granted, that's also a lot to do with Walter. I just love hearing that man talk about anything, you guys getting him onboard these past few episodes has been incredible. He just lives and breathes boats and is literally incapable of stopping, it's awe inspiring. Thank you Captain and Randay, it's been a blast watching this.

[@ronboe6325]

We have left the usual point system and reached the "Holy Toledo!" scale. :D

[@munbeam1]

This is my dream boat. Grew up with a cabin cruiser in FL. But I remember to costs of fuel. Leaned to sail, love the cost savings, but miss the space. This is a beautiful motorsailer.

What a great episode, thanks for sharing this with us. I share your observation of the joy of seeing the shore from the sea. Our first thought when we entered a harbor that we were familiar with by land by sea was wow, this is so special. Great chat with Mr. Schultz. Keep up the great work guys great Friday night treat!

Somebody, please, follow Walter around with a camera the rest of his days. So much hard earned wisdom and tested knowledge must not be lost.

[@chasl3443]

Walter Schulz is a teasure...wouldn't mind some more of that. This may be a "new" boat, but it is as old as sailing, but just a bit better...

[@kleinbiker1]

So he said the engines were canted to allow them to be level once on heel if you are motor sailing. Does that mean one should run one engine or the other depending on which tack the boat is on?

[@kilenik]

I think the implication is you’re motor sailing.

[@kleinbiker1]

@@kilenik yup, I said motor sailing.

And a 50 ft sell them from Florida to Bermuda few times Florida to Connecticut a few times what great boats what great memories remember talking to Walter a few times when Bert was having his boats built what a great guy Walters is

[@JimKJeffries]

Love their yachts, well built thoughtfully designed

[@SailingAndInvesting]

Breast line... New one. I learn something new every time I watch a Capt Q, or Ran Day video! Every inch of that vessel had a design consideration. The foot stool probably started out as a space that couldn't be used since the back of the other chair was there, so why not design in a foot stool. They like to chill their wine.

[@olsenco28]

I dutifully request Walter sings "hello mother hello father" by Allen Sherman.

[@jackdonkey22]

I bet Walter's favorite boat that Captain q has reviewed is the French boat from 1976 because that's everyone's favorite. Maybe it's not mechanically good but it sure has style.

[@YachtHunters]

Good guess, but incorrect… hint: it is under $30k

I recommend the addition of a rating to your boats. Please assign a number value to reflect each of 1) number of man hrs to reasonably restore the boat, 2) number of man hrs reqd for annual maintenance with standard tools and facility (boat yard) per year. These would make the water that much clearer.

This is such a special boat, what a thrill! Capt. Q when you made the commit about wearing pearls you sent me down a rabbit hole.

@@YachtHunters I would be persuading him to become a digital nomad and if he was worried about health issues.. the nice guys at UK Atlantic marine in Cornwall have built not just the impossible dream but a Daz cat with a highspeed wheelchair landingcraft tender for the explorer owner... 🤯😂 The other option i would consider in a vessel this well thought outs construction these days would be the use of basalt And or Hemp fiber in the construction. Reduce wt add strength. Basalt for its incredible resilience to abrasion and impact resistance its also impervious to most chemicals water, temp and none conductive.. Its cheaper than E glass and a natural common igneous rock. Depending on the resins its also highly recyclable. Built thick at the bow and waterline its capable of dealing with growler ice even 😎 Hybrid power systems mean you can regen while under sail .. Hybrid Photo Voltaic panels produce double max power...hot water and last much much longer.. The ketch rig is an ideal place to fly a FLIN solar panel sail while at anchor or becalmed.
