She a lovely Lady with a need for a touch up after the winter. A classic and historical yacht. Once her exterior has been cleaned up she will show her potential to be a excellent yacht.
Interesting vessel. I do think it's a bit of a stretch to say she's been "exceptionally well cared for..". Significant wood refinishing is needed. Ill-fitting storage doors/ cabinetry. Rust on multiple fittings. Water stains on forward cabin headliner - that is significant because where else has the water leaked into? The bilge has standing water. The hot water tank has evidence of leaking. While she may be mechanically sound, she should be emptied out of personal belongings and deep cleaned to get a better idea of condition. One can spruce up a property for showing, but a vessel, especially a 60+ year old one takes much more effort to realize asking price.
Asking such a question in a place like UA-cam comments, will get you nothing but critical remarks IF any responses. Hence, the many other comments about this vessel saying she's in "terrible condition" and is in need of "complete refit" or "complete refinishing" etc.. Of course those making such comments likely don't even own a boat to begin with, or, they own some fiberglass bathtub in lousy condition, while they pick apart the gorgeous vessel. As for is it high maintenance? Yes, of course it is. But are you asking as an experienced 50' primarily wooden yacht owner, or a newbie just getting into it? By "high maintenance" do you mean for yourself to do, or to pay others to do for you? This is a boat that will always need work done. Something will always be ready for maintenance. But that's just the nature of owning a vessel like this. It always works best if it's a labor of love. 😊 For me, the engine room is fine. I'd clean it up is all. As for what kind of seas she'll take? Again, are you a relative newbie, or experienced at sea? The best answer to your question is, she'll handle seas much rougher than you can handle, unless you're spent a lot of time at sea. I get asked this question a lot by people buying their first trawler. Asking about full displacement hulls etc for heavy seas. But their first encounter with even light seas, say 4 foot seas, has them wide open throttle for shore, swearing never to do such a thing again. Lol Practically kissing the ground when ashore! 😂 Of course the 4ft seas weren't even a challenge for the vessel at all. So, unless someone has a lot of experience at sea, any blue water trawler or motor-sailor is going to be able to take rougher seas than they can physically.
@@joe-hp4nk even so, if your living in it it’s value doesn’t mean much until I wanted to sell of which it may not go for as much or more for what I paid but living in a boat is a good opportunity to save money to get a house because of the housing crisis in Australia so it’s more of an investment because in the long run I would have enough money for a nice deposit for a decent house with a stable job. If you don’t live in Australia you should do some research on the housing situation down here

My late Father lived in Dartmouth on retirement took me to see these yachts being built, one of his mate's had a large model, great yachts .

Gorgeous boat but I do wonder if the source of all those water intrusion stains has been addressed.
Beautiful
Definitely a fixerupper, solid old girl,good lines. 😎

Is this a high Maintenance vessel.
Dose the engine room need reconfiguration?.
What level of Sea will she handle?
When ever I hear "teak" I think that!

Nice
MY LORD the Teak needs SO much work! and rust everywhere. Too bad the owner neglected it.
People like you shouldn't post comments on subjects on which you are obviously totaly ignorant.
Not sure why I'm being that guy right now but it's spelled t e a c.
No it isnt. So dont be that guy.@@neuralismgamingtv4511
@@markfitzsimmons7544 I am definitively that guy right now.
Price
contasina doors ?,, is concertina
My gosh.....all that teak. I suspect you buy varnish by the barrel.
£190000
Without price asked this is a waste of your time
Another money pit. Sooner or later they all end up at the bottom.
Docking this and living in it would be cheaper then renting or buying a house in Australia so no not a money pit
@@liam-bo5qv Real estate goes up in value. A boat sinks in value.
