I love traditional yachts that are owned by other people.

[@pikethree]

Hahahahahaha me too!

[@firestormlivingsolutions]

What are you trying to say?

[@elimcdoogle6876]

@@firestormlivingsolutions probably that he knows he'd never be rich enough to have one, which is a sad thing in this day and age, that only a certain few get to live the life they dreamed about or even take for granted

[@firestormlivingsolutions]

@@elimcdoogle6876 oh lol.. I thought he might be referring to the running cost

[@FranFerioli]

@@firestormlivingsolutions I also think Mr Pronto was referring to running costs, practicality (a quarter berth on a 50?) and value for money. The Spirit 50CR is a beauty to behold, but for practically the same money I can treat myself to a 50 feet Marsaudon TS5 catamaran AND a small Hallberg-Rassy.

[@rvail136]

I'm a master cabinetmaker. I work in high end applications (aviation, yachts, residential)...and the wood work on this boat is amazing. Kudo's to the craftsmen who built this piece of art.

[@قناةاللؤلؤة-س6ي]

What kind of wood used to build this amazing yacht??

[@colinchesbrough5772]

Same here. Fine furniture maker. It's like one big piece of fine furniture

[@hippiehillape]

I do chainsaw carvings as a side gig. I don't own a boat. But damn this is gorgeous

[@scharftalicous]

I love traditionally flavoured boats that are built with modern technology

[@dalegraham4058]

A wooden yacht with such lines as this is such a classic design that deserves three things; to be sailed regularly, an owner who will treat her with respect and fair winds. A ship builders proof.

[@williamscoggin1509]

Modern style and classic style are both great, but what I really like is the warmth and look of the traditional wood. If you're going to be out on the water for a while I just think it has a calming effect on the mind. And when done properly would detail right down to the last inch it is a work of art that you are inside of. So much craftsmanship it's just all inspiring! 👍🏻

[@allowmi]

The detailing of the design is far past competent. People will be raving about this boat generations from now. So gratifying to see the dedication and love.

[@johnferrier2803]

Drop dead beautiful yacht with incredible joinery. Traditional yachts are far more appealing than modern production boats.

[@barraabus]

A work of art of the finest order. A masterpiece indeed. The pride and workmanship rarely seen in the modern world.

[@Lee-70ish]

I live in ipswich and recently saw the 111 being finished pre delivery . Soon as i saw it across the quay i said to the wife . Nicest yacht since the J classes. Thats just how beautiful Spirit Yachts are built. In the same league as Rolls Royce and Holland and Holland . The detailing is top line with screw heads lined up fore and after just as in the finest sporting guns.

[@danackohut]

Drop dead gorgeous! Art that you can live in. Wow.

[@beforewedieyoung778]

Beautiful construction & workmanship - the design leaves a lot to be desired by today's 50' standards.

[@agp7073]

Traditional styling boats are beautiful and this boat is stunning!

[@DoRC]

1:47 looks like they sprung for the integrated toe stubber option!

[@Александр1158]

This yacht is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. She's amazing!

[@kenmaade6413]

I love this yacht , stunning woodwork, finishes and design I would have liked to see more of the engine room.

[@Jonathan-mt9up]

I've watched several videos of Spirit Yachts, and this boat is my favorite so far. The traditional interior is much more appealing to me personally. Elegant beauty and practicality.

[@h2overlandjacquesbrown881]

Always amazing to see mans ingenuity in design when you consider all the various options that exist in a yacht. Great video.

[@selmamoglu]

I love traditional outline with modern interior/equipment inside. Appreciate the craftsmanship of the boat, just love it!💜

[@jamesfohare]

She has been well maintained and the workmanship is amazing nice boat.💚👍

[@antonysmyth2464]

Like the reporter, smooth, knowledgable, factual, present. Much preferred to the usual style. Tx

[@Majorvideonut2]

I was invited to stay on a wooden sailboat some years ago and it was the most comfortable boat I had ever been on. I owned a fiberglass sail but the difference was amazing. It was in Florida keys and winter where it gets cool at night and warm after sunrise. That boat was comfortable all the time... wow... loved it.

[@gaetanosagliocco1866]

It does not matter .........she is simply beautiful!!!

[@goldcoastcampingadventures3763]

Good to see a new built boat with an offshore sailing layout. The old time sailors where the real deal and knew how a boat should be appointed.

[@clarkkent2913]

I had the luck to be allowed to sail several times on an early 46 (with the curved carbon mast). Lovely. Very fast, easy to handle and simply beautiful. Comments in port were always funny since the people thought it was an old boat and they often asked why we had these modern winches etc. on a classic.

[@stankygeorge]

Absolutely beautiful yacht!

[@petyrkowalski9887]

I love the look and layout. I would like a few more technical details: rig, sail options, engine, keel depth, beam.

[@cosmoanayiotos6924]

It’s very appealing. Beautiful in fact. A rare find indeed.

[@MBdrummer3288]

She truly is a beauty!

[@atadoff62]

Absolutely stunning!

[@RickMentore]

A work of art! Fair winds to the deserving owner!

[@timdion9527]

I can't help admire the brightwork as well. I put myself through college by varnishing boats.

[@onawhim9079]

Saw this lovely yacht at the boat show. Smaller inside than you'd imagine when looking at her from the outside. Great if you've got someone to look after the paint work, but if you can afford her that's probably not an issue. I'd love to see how she sails!

[@genekloszewski4526]

very nice !, fit & finish are definately a result of talented, & concise woodworking. attention to detail, & a traditional design , with modern embellishments, make this ship a standout amongst all others.

[@robwestern7702]

Absolutely fabulous creation what a beautiful lady

[@Halcyonyachts]

A fabulous yacht... We also had a guided tour of the new Spirit 111 recently. Wow. Just wow.

[@douglasvonfreund8945]

A beautiful yacht .I love the lines .My favorite over all other inside and out .⛵

[@dobermanpac1064]

I’m a Traditional Wood Boat Sailor. Though, I’d love to see this one underway!

[@gavmackenzie]

Utterly gorgeous!!

[@garymcaleer6112]

Traditional, any day! Lovely sailboat. The J's are my favorite. Give me class over speed any day. But you get what you pay for. I'd be happy with an Alberg 30. :^)

[@Life_is_Beautifulll_]

Beautiful ❤

[@docwells6193]

I'm a fan of center cockpits and this one is a wooden beauty.

[@gregormiller4037]

A work of art the water doesn't really deserve.

[@Erin-Thor]

Absolutely beautiful woodwork everywhere! My only thought was the lack of windows. Not a big deal, just a thought.

[@ronnymabrink1633]

Beautiful yacht, unique style..

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Stunning!

[@themagic7916]

... REALLY, REALLY, REALLY IT'S A BEAUTIFUL YACHT/BOAT, I LOVE IT, BEAUTIFUL, HAVE A GREAT DAY...

[@TRichmond1964]

That boat is exquisite!

[@dutchflats]

Beautiful yacht, love the woodwork! Might be a lot of labor to take care of actually using it for cruising over time? Never the less, I would dearly love to own one...

[@sailorwasa3838]

The boat is fantastic.

[@australianwoodenboatfestiv3519]

STUNNING!

[@tortugabob]

Gorgeous boat.

[@johnbellison2589]

I know absolutely zilch about boats of any kind, but this goes to number 3 on my shopping list of British class and elegant toys. Lottery win will solve it! So the Pair of Purdeys, or Holland's, the Phantom 2 Vintage Sedanca de Ville and this will keep me very happy. Not greedy, just nostalgic.

[@ivanlussich8146]

Hello from Uruguay. Fabulous wood work indeed & great yacht altogether

[@davidmcarthur4749]

I specialize in classic yacht restoration for international boat shows...this is wonderful....splendid job..

[@bobthesnobscotland2821]

Stunning

[@jrwedgeworth]

With all that wood, the thing will never leave the slip

[@philmatoph]

the nicest sailboat around.

[@onthefarside2096]

wow, beautiful. Love the looks and the wood. thank you for sharing.

[@nielskjr5432]

I like this one. Very much!!

[@bryonensminger7462]

Thus us a beautiful boat the woodwork is completely awesome

[@kingneptune8937]

Nice on the eye.

[@petermcgrory5267]

What a beautiful vessel!

[@georgevprochazka5316]

That looks perfect ! I'm getting a second job then...

[@peterwahlstrom9777]

Very beautiful sailing boat ❣

[@jsaccardo]

Superb!

[@dr.z1657]

Absolutely gorgeous. Exterior exudes timeless beauty and pure class. Hull design is reminiscent of the J-class. The design below deck however, is not what I’d expect from a 50 footer-most notably the aft births and two wet heads. True aft cabins, an en suite dry head, and at least one dry day head are all fairly standard things on modern boats of this size. Personally this would be a dealbreaker for me, but I understand not everyone feels that way.

[@thomastuorto9929]

For a boat of this size I would favor a interior lay-out more like a Hykas 46. The wood work inside & out is second to none!

[@dr.z1657]

@ted ted Of course you do, the Hylas 46 is a Frers design after all. 😉 I lust after the Nautor’s Swan myself!

[@SuperLenny555]

that was a fine boat ,fine for sure .

[@richardnagele5877]

She’s perfect

[@bobthesnobscotland2821]

Stunning 👍

[@scoutandscooter]

That is one pretty boat.

[@cagno1]

It might turn upside down but it won't sink. Its wood folks! I'm gonna get me one. I especially like the small wardrobe with port hole ventilation above it.

[@129jaystreet]

I would rather forgo the second bathroom and have a dry head. Or forgo the second bathroom and have a guest quarters/bunks with more privacy.

[@morghino1497]

Is incredible! Amazing! 💗

[@tominmtnvw]

Most definitely prefer traditional yachts With a lots of woodwork.

[@larshansson9442]

Wonderful boat.

[@martinlang9615]

Amazing and Beautiful. Bring her “Down Under”! The Stainless ventilation allows for excellent cooling and fresh air across the cabin.

[@JohnGTynan]

Lovely boat, Elaine but I would always be scared about scuffing it. A rugged aluminium hulled boat would be my choice eg Garcia Exploration 45.

[@viarnay]

She is the beauty

[@TheJamesthe13]

Had a good look around this one last week. Really very pretty.

[@JackLeewanda]

that's really nice yacht - the best are made for private users - question - how it sails with a few crew members, how all thinks works ( engine, sails, elektricity, other instalations )

[@boyhowdy5893]

Wow!

[@srmj71]

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. The maintenance however, must be a real bear.

[@HWCism]

👍 thank you

[@chrispitchford6045]

Magnificant!

[@kenscrackofdoom599]

Beautiful boat. I would have liked more information on hull design and construction and also how she sails.

[@yachtingworld]

Noted. When we test sail this yacht will delve further.

[@charlesmcgonagle1831]

lovely.

[@tyke8727]

I love it

[@badapple65]

The cockpit is so huge seems to be good for day cruises with party guests. I’d expect a 2nd full sized and private guest berth. But this is the perfect boat for someone I’m sure.

[@RHP-pw8xt]

The design, ie the short waterline due to the overhangs doesn't allow this. What you see is limited by the constraints of the hull

[@lisar9425]

Beautiful. Good video, too. How much? That’s what I want to know. How come no one ever puts prices-even ballpark prices-on these??

[@johnwayne2103]

because as always if you have to ask.

[@papasaruman]

Classic boats are like camping vs staying in a hotel. Not ideal if lounging and being fully catered for is what you need, but sensory experience is unrivalled. Sailing them, you are not taking your country home to another location by moving it over water, you are actually going on an adventure, and that is a rare commodity these days.

[@deanmacka4975]

Well I think that this boat should have me as the owner haha I do love this boat I would make one big locker behind the navi station. Have a folding seat on the door of the new walk in locker . I like old yachts and some new one's aswell. My favourite yacht has got to be the J boats. I all so think England has the best yacht's but Shannon boat's are pretty cool as well . Who am I kidding I love all yacht's, boat's anything that is involved with water lol

[@grantbratrud4949]

I recall what a Providence, RI, policeman said about a Dick Newick design in an early OSTAR finish: (paraphrasing) "Jeez, he must be nuts to sail in that thing." And yet, and yet... dead white below, and dry as a teacup, as the saying went. Was she built of 6mm exterior ply, just light scantlings and a good design, sound, and not an over-powering rig? Sounds like a winner.

[@wolfgangschmitten8964]

its a wonderful yacht!!

[@jameswilliams2814]

Very good video

[@ThePipeiper]

Love the outside. Wish the inside was more modernized. A brighter colored wood.

[@dougefresh133]

Absolutely gorgeous bost! It almost looks too good to take out sailing.

[@juliojames5986]

Traditional Nautical design especially in the interior with modern equipment.

[@gregscarfe6622]

Beautiful balance of fine cabinetry and sleek design, i will have one please, when I win Lotto

[@fadynaayem8449]

Great, just great

[@nicolasbouyiouclis4726]

Great looking vessel, no question about it! Only for a couple with two kids [and forget any... anyway]
