An Immaculate 50' DREAM YACHT Built to Go ANYWHERE [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

[@johnphillips519]

Possibly one of the best boats you have ever shown us👍

[@johnnyhag675]

How could you tour this boat without mentioning who designed this beauty? A classic from Robert Perry!

[@thommeyer6356]

Possibly the nicest monohull (or any) boat you've covered...truly turnkey ready. The only thing I could think of to make her any better, would be a bow thruster, for shorthanded sailing.

[@emilybh6255]

He covered a Pacific Seacraft which was prettier I think. This looks like more of a motorsailer to me. It is kind of tubby with a lot of freeboard.

[@brucevogel2693]

Great looking boat for a couple. I personally always like to inspect the hull; the rudder did not appear skeg hung and I was curious about the prop used, bow thruster?? Thanks for next time.

[@blacktootherson]

Looked like a skeg rudder to me but it was hard to tell

[@leecowell8165]

It was skeg hung... not so good. I also didn't like the fin like keel so I wouldn't wanna careen this thing either that's for sure. Of course anyone that could afford this guy wouldn't be careening anyway.

[@heiner71]

Nice condition and high quality boat. The space appears to not used very efficiently though. For a 50ft boat, it is really only for a couple with maybe one smaller kid. Looking in comparison at a boat like Delos, which is a 53ft Amel Super Maramu, they are worlds apart when it comes to room and usage of it.

[@chuckspillner5290]

She’s really a 47’ boat with a bowsprit.

[@blacktootherson]

I kinda like how it’s just basically an enlarged version of a typical 38 footer

[@roadboat9216]

2 things for me to make it perfect. 1 loose the space eating canoe stern, and 2. A boat this size would be so much nicer if it were a center cockpit. It’s not a racing boat. Why sit at the extreame stern with the reduced visibility and extreme exposure to the sea. Racers do this for the sail trim visibility, but not needed for a cruising boat. I have owned 2 aft cockpit and 2 center cockpit boats and the center far superior, better accommodations, much better engine access. Better storage and tankage. But yes, a beautiful boat, it that’s the style you want. Take a look at KZbin channel Sailing Delos when they were in the southern oceans W of Cape Hope in extreme weather. They were fully protected in an in closed cocpit. Invaluable. Then take a look at Sweet Ruca in bad conditions, totally exposed and getting absolutely soaked with freezing water and knocked about by seas. Freezing, wet, exposed. A properly designed center cockpit for me. I’ll leave the racing to the racers. And speaking of speed. Why have 10 feet of overhang and waterline and space loss?

[@danieloliver20]

So is that a hard NO for you? 😅

[@roadboat9216]

@@danieloliver20 I love the valiants. (Except for the older blister issues). They are well built and capable. But for my money. The above issues above are addressed and fulfilled by other boats such as the Amel. And another boat that addresses most of the issues is the Kelly Peterson 46. Also the 44. Hylas 48 another. So, to more directly answer your question, if I had the money to spend an a boat of this general size or displacement area I would choose others first. But it’s certainly a lovely and capable boat. Given other choices a hard no.

[@johnrathbun2943]

Yes this is a truly beautiful vessel. I personally don't like double enders. I like sugar scoops. Now if she had a sugar scoop she would be the perfect boat in my mind.

[@leecowell8165]

I didn't like the skeg rudder or fin keel. needs a full keel with keel mounted rudder. Yeah slower but a LOT tougher and more seaworthy. Full keels also sport less draft and have better balance. Wouldn't surprise me if this thing experienced lee helm under certain sail sets.

[@Erica_Brenda]

It's amazing how wide the interior is.

[@danalloyd1733]

Looks like a very fine boat, one I could get comfortable in crossing an ocean or two. But my question is about the price, is the asking price normal for a boat almost 15 years old? I have no experience buying or selling these but it seems high compared to a couple I’ve seen. Just curious and would like some thoughts from you and others..

[@roadboat9216]

I do like your videos. Keep um coming.

[@Erica_Brenda]

I would be interested in your other channel but do not see it listed on here.

[@Chris-zo5ze]

How are you supposed to use the davits with that wind vane back there?

[@bryanirwin5473]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@LearningtheLines]

I assume davits would be for when anchored (no windvane needed) and the dinghy goes on the deck cradle on a passage, which is the safest way to use them. Then you could use the windvane on the passage.

[@sebastianariellambardi6825]

Hello! Who's manufacturin boat? Thanks!

[@baltimoreravens1515]

Beautiful boat could live there easy

[@N.California]

I live about an hour north of Auburn, Ca.

[@browsman2328]

V berths are for guests, could use less salon space and a proper masters cabin, looks a little beamy, in good shape. Did it say Auburn Ca on the side, that’s a long way from the ocean.

[@chuckspillner5290]

Hailing port can be anywhere.

[@RickWalton-w2c]

So whats the price ?

[@emilybh6255]

How many people are supposed to be able to dine at that tiny table? Even with the leaves up it doesn't look like it could accommodate more than 3 people eating at the same time. It doesn't look like the table would extend far enough to reach the settee on the starboard side at all. Are there extra leaves?

[@testicool013]

At least 8

[@SAILINGDIRTYBIRD]

Aluminum Hull is the only way to go..... extremely low maintenance, never having to re-bed anything....low maintenance.....more sailing.....this is a nice layout though

[@Shymenyou]

boat looks to be in great condition and has been taken care of. However ;) 50ft boat that can hardly accomodate 2 guests feels "ouch"

[@Chris-zo5ze]

The cockpit looks "safe" but not very roomy.

[@LearningtheLines]

Yeah I get that, but I see the appeal. How much time is spent where cruisers ACTUALLY host guests vs just having an empty cabin taking up valuable interior real estate.

[@podocrypto6072]

Beautiful boat and well cared for, but lost me with the canoe stern and with limited aft berthing. In this market and with all the newer designs, his pricing is...well.... pie in the sky.

[@danalloyd1733]

My thoughts as well.

[@DougVarble]

I have to tell you for 449k I would be looking at a Cat🎉 not to mention 14 years old…. Rigging is original?

[@robertfreeman2322]

My thoughts exactly. You can get a lot more boat for that price!

[@swiftmatic]

I don't like the rod shrouds

[@svdoinitright7519]

Beautiful boat, but a 50' without a master cabin doesn't make sense to me.

[@swedishkev]

Beautiful boat, kitchen well designed. Only let down, no proper aft cabin, For 50ft. Some 40 footers have atleast 2 main full size cabins.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Beautiful boat from a great designer a d a stunning build and condition. Wouldn’t be for me, only one head on a 50’ and no really nice owners cabin. Not a lover of V berths. I’m sure someone will love this boat though, certainly a go anywhere yacht.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

Beautiful, but! Where is the accommodation? A V-berth and a quarter berth in a boat this size! It is hardly a family boat, not even for a weekend tour, but is sold as a blue water cruiser and it is just not fit for more than a couple with occasional friend on visit, in my opinion. Also note, if you like this type of monohul, you can buy a Rustler 44 brand new for this same base price, and for sure got more accommodation below, even though it is a shorter boat. In the real world a long monohul is not always, what you need. Two obvious disadvantages of a longer hull for instance is, that you will pay higher docking prices wherever you go and another not much talked thing is, that here in Europe all nations has high demands for skipper licenses, if you sail a boat of a certain length, anyone really. Here in Denmark all boats over 49 feet demands a skipper license to sail single handed or even ensure at all, and is essentially a year long education and not cheap at all.

[@damnyankee656]

I think this beautiful blue water cruiser was previously owned by either a doctor,lawyer oran architect as it has been meticulously cared for. I'll bet she is close to her appraisal value and will take you to all corners of the world. My choice would be this beautiful yacht

[@gonagain]

$449,000 and no owners stateroom. That makes it an expensive daysailer. Great tour though.

[@sstroh32]

Valiant 50 an expensive daysailer? You might be the first and only human to ever make that statement. Ordinarily I’d applaud marching to your own drummer, but in this case I suspect your way off base. So please elaborate, you can’t leave a comment like that hanging without clarifying

[@MarkCartret]

Ah a Robert Perry.

[@eduardgindin3763]

access to the engine is not very good...

[@vanbarrettdesign]

For $449k it should be as wonderful as you are gushing.

[@abbphotoandvideo622]

50 foot and only a v-berth and quarter berth? Not sure about that one.......

[@windseeker50]

Nice boat but poorly designed in terms of use of space , no aft cabin with a walkaround bed , crammed bathroom , galley is too small , sorry but, for the money you can get something better …

[@danalloyd1733]

Inexperienced sailor here. I too wondered about the price. Seemed high but I don’t know. Just still looking and shopping.

[@samhouston5217]

She is a Dream! Gets a guy fantasizing.

[@markking3755]

well i can tell this yacht is definitely not a real go any anywhere boat at all for its a fiberglass hull and if any knows anything about fiberglass hulls there are places they ccan not go at all only a yacht with a steal or at less a aluminum hulls are able to go anywhere that even fiberglass are not able go to. for those who do not know what i am talking about go look it up for your self the diffrences of fiberglass and steal hulls are for i am not going through telling what the diffrences are here its for you go look it up.

[@markking3755]

with what i jsut posted ya this video is a big fat lie about this yacht is a go anywhere boat. now with everything i have said this yacht is reall nice boat.

[@Kysushanz]

Poorly designed interior - not much space for a family on a boat of this size. Much more room on a Hartley Fijian 48ft.

[@LearningtheLines]

It's designed for a specific person/couple that wants larger spaces rather than having their living areas broken up into multiple cabins/heads that don't get used. Also, only one head means you only need to maintain one head, and less thru hulls as well.

[@Kysushanz]

@@LearningtheLines Yeah, OK; for what is is designed for - it is a great little boat. But, the design severely hampers its appeal/resale to others. Certainly well fitted out and looks real shipshape.

[@Christopherparlow]

How much ? You guys always leave out the price.

[@terrancedick8912]

Wheres the price.start with The price.

[@Chris-zo5ze]

It's in the description right below the video... He's one of the few that always posts the price and I appreciate that.
