Thank you for sharing. I love how the founder here explains why this boat is a good choice for the Bond character- he hits the nail on its head! And what an exquisite yacht it is. I love how Spirit managed to use quality craftsmanship, wood and wood crafting - to build an all purpose yacht that looks stunning without being posh modern, and it looks like it can sail too. I hope to get the chance to sail one, some time

Absolutely beautiful yacht. Fine lines, and looks to be lovingly built. But as someone who has over 60,000 blue water ocean sailing miles, it is not a design suited for ocean travel. With the open cockpit and low free-board, one would be uncomfortably wet all the time. Also, for it relative length, it would have severely cramped room below decks. As a day sailor around the bay, it would be a wonderful toy for a rich person, though.

You are being a tad unfair here 🔝 . Plenty have crossed oceans in similar designs or even smaller yachts !
@dibqip3 жыл бұрын
I think you would prefer their ‘deck house’ design. Regardless - if you have grit, determination and can tolerate prolonged discomfort as we should imagine anyone with 007 aspirations should, then you can sail this one anywhere…
@claywebb81993 жыл бұрын
He only said the boat could do it - not the sailor. I agree though, given the choice one would be a masochist to undertake an around the world journey in such a boat. But the sheer beauty of the old classic designs is undeniably more aesthetically pleasing than the modern floating caravans being churned out now.

@@maxflight777 You can sail across the Atlantic in a small dinghy. Not that you would want to do it... It's like going on the Autobahn in a tuk-tuk moped. You definitely need a Toyota Camry, like at least a beneteau oceanis, but you would rather do it in a mercedes, like an oyster yacht. This Spirit Yacht is like an open top classic CJ5 Jeep Wrangler, it will get you across the ocean with style, but quite uncomfortably.

I want one of these in a 46ft. This will be my retirement boat, which I will name after my wife and the Queens Great Niece, Arabella. FYI my in-laws use to own Shales Manor in Ipswich. These look to be beautifully built, wooden sloops but I’m not sure I would take one in open water. My wife won’t go cruising with me but likes sailing close to shore, so this could be a great retirement toy. Also, being English and from her families Native Ipswich, it’s meant to be.

Sailing boats are money pits to the point you think it's cheaper to buy diesel to travel the world? At UK prices to refill a Bering 65, the smallest in the range, is £17,000 per shot; to refill a Bering 80 is £45,000. You can find cheaper fuel, but it can cost you more in more remote locations too. I'm not a sailing person because I admit I don't have the skills or inclination to learn, so I gawp at motoryachts, but Spirits are things of beauty. You have no soul, and you clearly aren't buying very much fuel either. I take it your yacht is an Intex inflatable dingy with plastic oars?
