FREE BOAT - A 50' DREAM Cruiser to go ANYWHERE [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

[@dxwardell]

Those circular "Vents" in the dodger windscreen are actually commercial marine style windshield wipers. When it is raining and they are turned on, they spin at high speed throwing any water on them off, giving you a clear view through.

[@stephanebrun718]

They were also tuning devices for HF radios way back in time

[@OlafFichtner]

​@@stephanebrun718 come again? How would you want to tune what?🧐

[@alan-sk7ky]

Nah he knows, he's just comment baiting :-)

[@davidcolby1456]

Yeah they're to remove water but they're actually there to remove green water not rainwater.

[@davidcolby1456]

Yeah they're there to remove water all right. But it's actually greenwater not rain water.

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

I love skylights! So cool to have one on a boat. I installed one at home a few months ago, but the upstairs neighbours were really upset about it.

[@BornFreeFilms]

LOL, Great comment!

[@johnnyhunter4345]

Put glass size of sliding door in kitchen on a customer's remodel, their design, warned them about excess sunlight, we had to later install sliding curtains on two rods with rings that could be move with metal rod kept in a kitchen closet. Could see that issue here.

[@ZancoIntel]

Good lord.. this looks like a dream boat! I would live on this forever.

[@Davidcallard]

Me too! 😅

[@vincent7520]

3:07 This is NOT a porthole style for ventilation. It is an alternative to the windshield whippers. The glass spins by way of a small motor at the center and water is ejected by centrifugal force. It has been the best system to keep a clear view from the windshield when massive amount of water crashes on the boat. It has been used since ever on big ships. Only when very strong and effective whippers were installed did this system was abandonned. It certainly has a name but I never happened to know it, as I never sailed on a boat rigged with one of these.

[@mvbigmagic4048]

"Granny bars." LOL! I'd never heard of or seen those before. Makes me want some.

[@Johnsouthshore]

A really great lay out.. VERY unique.. love it

[@michaelcondon4161]

Both masts fold down to cruise the canals...I'd love to see that demonstrated!

[@johnperry7534]

Wow that’s so clever being able to see the sails and deck from the galley that’s fantastic

[@paulkopp3634]

What an interesting boat . Thank you

[@davidcaerbert9531]

The skylight was probably installed when they needed to install another motor. The round windows are called ClearVu and spin off the moisture in rain or fog.

[@bresy3793]

It's such a beautifully maintained boat. Thank you for posting.

Beautiful boat, great builder and fabulous layout for world cruising. Andy UK

The circle on the windshield rotate to give a clear view in inclement weather.

Super cool & unique boat. Few layout items I'd change and also maybe the high price.

[@cheeseblog]

Wow❗️ I could live on that.

[@Steve-ck3yf]

The as you called them ports of pilot house are spinning windows for severe rain when wipers won't do! I'm also a big fan of centre cockpits but 👍

the sections on the dodger that you called vents appear to be clear-view screens that spin to give you clear vision when wet!

[@dennismacdonald2003]

[@vanessabryan786]

Seriously interesting boat and Dutch European boat. Even like the light panel but it would need anti slip tread strips on it also to shade the kitchen a bit. Great for giving everyone a space and putting kids to bed away from adults. Also off watch crew.

[@vanessabryan786]

It would make a great live aboard for a family.

[@Davidcallard]

I like it 👌. Esp. The skylight. It has a quirky layout but I could get used to it. I think it's òverpriced.

[@rtbinc2273]

Love Dutch boats, needs more work than I'm interested in. Though it amazing what a little cleaning can do.

[@successvideos1160]

I'd think that skylight would be a real slip hazard. When wet it would be like ice.

[@paulcoverdale8312]

Its like a Dutch barge. Beautiful ❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@Squigglydodah]

what are the small circular silver appliances in the rooms? one can be seen at 13:21 next to the bed.

[@paulwyand6204]

Those are "air dryers" they are supposed to reduce condensation. In my experience they don't do much but they do warm the boat.

[@overlandingscouter]

is the veteran's group looking to replace the motor and sell it or are they looking for a veteran to take ownership and fix it for themselves? I'd be happy to do the later. My wife and I are in the market for a serious live aboard and would definitely be in a position to make the needed repairs and spend the next 10 to 15 years sailing her around the world. Plus I am a veteran. Would love to hear from them regardless. Love that the owner is doing this too.

@overlandingscouter just to let you know, Silver Wing hit a bridge, ripped off the mizzen mast, and partially sank. Boat was then sold to a guy who owns a marine towing company, and I'm buying the boat from that guy. Lots of work to do on it. Sorry you missed out, but if it makes you feel better, I'm a vet as well, and I'll be living aboard with my two kids

[@mvbigmagic4048]

@@morganmorris4389 Crikey. :( Sorry to hear it lost the mizzen mast. But glad to hear someone will be working on it. If you have a channel, I'd totally subscribe if you posted the restoration.

[@charlesthomas8875]

This ship has a very shallow draft for such a large boat, meaning that in less than desirable weather at sea, one would have to run the engine for stability. This makes it more of a motorsailer than a true sail boat. The same design failure existed on a lot of those earlier Morgan's too. Looks like a great boat for day sailing and coastal sailing and even as a liveaboard at dock, but I definitely wouldn't try to sail around the world in it. As usual, a great presentation. Big fan.

[@mennovanrij9334]

First, I am located in the Netherlands, where these were built. These boats used to be a common site here. Nowadays, people tend to go for a sleak and sexy Hansa or Bavaria. (Or Halberg when they can afford it). I've never seen a Trintella this size with a shallow draft like displayed here. I would not be surprised if this is a typo. Secondly, these boats have a so-called 'long keel', making them very stable on the waves. Thirdly: These boats were built for the North Sea and the (Northern Atlantic) and they were (are) very capable of withstanding rougher weather.

[@bertohlsson6921]

That round glass is for rain ,not ventilation!

That cockpit window is one of the most unique, and worst, ideas I've ever seen. Imagine slipping on that when wet, and notice that 3 ways they've tried to seal it (butyl, silicone, and what appears to be a strip of gorilla tape outside of it all) Interior is a nice departure from normal. In any case, very interesting boat but not worth anywhere near 200k

200k is extremely expensive on this. Buying 40 y.o. fiberglass boat is not safer than 40 y.o. wooden boat... after so many years fiberglass just starts to deteriorate in random spots. For 200k you can buy a smaller boat but a NEW, and modern design providing similar inside space...

No harm in that, but a deeper understanding would be gained by touring boats with other more experienced people, and spending some time on boats that are sailing , preferably offshore.

The gimbled stove is facing the wrong direction. Its worthless. Who cares if it gimbles bow to stern. It needs to gimble port to stbd for heeling. Terrible design. This puts me off because a boat builder should know this. Lots of builders have put stoves bow/stern, but they dont gimble them. They are fixed with fiddles.

Another commenter said that the seller put $400k into a recent refit. Yet the boat has a seized engine? Has marijuana use just been legalised in Florida? Asking, because it seems like you, the seller and probably everyone else connected to this boat, has been smoking industrial quantities of grass. To cap it all.
