  • This is the biggest, coolest, most interesting, and most exquisite yacht we've toured thus far! Words cannot express how awesome this 1957 91' custom Feadship motor sailor is!
    Her name is De Vrouwe Christina, and she's a giant work of art. Built in 1957, and completely refitted and rebuilt in 2017, she now boasts one of the most modern and elegant interiors we've ever seen in a boat of this vintage. Not only did they replace the keel in 2017, they completely redid everything on the exterior and interior which included adding 8mm of steel all around the hull. She's a 95 ton tank now that sails slowly but safely and in extreme comfort for cruising.

    Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.

We only had some gusty winds that topped out around 40 MPH, but was mostly in the 20 to 30 MPH range for about a day. No damage at my home. We had light to moderate rain off and on for a couple days. No flooding around us and I did not hear of any around New Orleans.

      The garvings look traditionaly Dutch to me, nothing to do with indonesea. I've seen a lot of it on these kinds of boats called; Tjalk. I sailed on them a lot and I could tell you where this type was designed but since most amaricans have little idea of european topography lets not.
      Originals of this boat build in iron start around 1900. They still flaot though most are a bit crunchy. Before say 1900 barges were build in wood. Those mostly riside at the bottom of the sea.
      These types have been around forever, you can see them in dutch paintings from 17th century.
      Steel ones are still yard built for a specific market. The one in de video no dubt is one. The name 'vrouwe (Lady) Christina' sounds very like a traditional Dutch name, perhaps named after the wife of the owner.
      Dutch barge owners are mostly very traditional and would never go for the modern yacht look wich they concider garisch.

    This is a Zeetjalk , a more seaworthy version of the Tjalk (it literally translates to Seatjalk). These ships were used to haul cargo between the Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia. These were sailed on the Northsea and Baltic sea.
    So unlike some of the comments below, these were not canal boats.
    As a matter of fact, this Feadship conversion has done 6 Atlantic crossings! Very seaworthy indeed.

They said when they would pull into port people would come walking up to the boat because they thought the previous owner was there but I believe he passed away and everyone had a story to tell about the boat that seemed to be the party spot where ever they pulled into port. The couple did pull the piano out of the boat.

    If you wonder about the fabulous interior work, Dutch shipyards are building some of the highest quality yachts in the world now. Feadship builds boats as big as 300+ feet for super rich clients. Their work is of the absolute highest quality and they are considered one of the finest yachts one can own. The interiors on these yachts are mind blowingly beautiful and very expensive too. One of the heirs to the Walmart stores fortune bought a "used" 310' Feadship for the rumored price of $300 million. She then had it taken to the German yacht builder Lurssen for a year to have the interior "freshened" to her tastes. It took over a year to do this, its just recently come out of the yard. Lord knows how much that cost!

    I'm going to comment on the bow and stern thrusters. With the side mounted keel stabilizer in up position. You could go into shallower harbor. With stability in up position. And have completely control for docking. A regular sailing boat with large center keel, have watched sail boats come in with small outboard, and the large keel keeps them going in straight line. With the two thrusters it's like having a tug boat helping you dock. For someone who doesn't have lots of them time on docking( currents and wind) taking control of suck a large vessel. Those thrusters make any helmsman look like a PRO. That is a wonderful add on.

    Absolutely fantastic boat. I would have loved to have seen more of the workings end. Meaning the engines and all the support systems. Such things as access and maintenance.
    I'm not the showroom type of person going in and kicking tires and ooooing at the paint/varnish feeling the plushy leather seats.

    I looked up "yacht" long ago and found not a description, but a story. Some royalty went to the Netherlands on a state visit. While they were there they spent time on a boat much like this but so opulent it left an impression. How could this lesser royal be treated so much better? He can travel and never leave his castle. They called it a Yacht.

    Born in Kentucky but having been raised in Florida, I am an avid fan of sailboats. This one was a master, and surprisingly I expected this to be an $8-10 Million boat so when I saw the price, I was flabbergasted. Not in the market for one right now, but if it's still available late Fall, I may very well be a contender.

    • @WSallai
      @WSallai 4 роки тому

      Robert Kowalski The grand saloon would be large enough for additional berths, but additional people would tax the amount of provisions that you would be able to take on a long passage. At seven knots that would take a long time. This boat also needs solar panels to reduce or eliminate the need to run generators to keep autopilot, navigation equipment, and vital loads running.

      I was thinking the same thing. It seems really weird to have one crew cabin with one berth with its own galley. Most of the time it would be preferable for the crew quarters to have multiple berths in one cabin and the crew would have their meals prepared in the same galley as everyone else rather than have one crew berth with its own galley.

      It's called a "hot cot". One man sleeps while the other man is on tower (shift). And after 12 hours, they swap.
      Which means the bed is always warm. Thus... a "hot cot".

    those 'lee boards' are simmilar to what a fish uses, the SIDE fins, esp. of the catfish and flat fish families, OR like the 'foils' in dinghys, helps with stability in rough seas, aka what ocean liners(cruise ships) use to help avoid seasickness on long journeys.

    I would be curious where the refit was done, hi quality tasteful work . The original builder Feadship is a top knotch Dutch boatyard and the style of the hull is the 18th and 19th century Dutch trading barges ,'Botters' is a common type with the wonderful bluff rounded bow and stern. You can see versions in painting by Dutch masters.
    The stumpy rig should have a curved gaff increasing the sail area. Variations of this style are sailed , cruised and even raced hard in the Netherlands.
    The wonderful Lee boards are to allow the boat to have an open hold in its working life and sit on the mud when the tide goes out as well as sail in the shallow waters of the Netherlands. It's the type of boat I imagine was owned by the 'traitor' in the most famous sailing spy story ever written , 'The Riddle of the Sands' by Erskin Childers. They called it a converted Galiot which is a good description. Named 'Medusa'.
    Lovely video! Cheers Warren
    Ps I think I prefer video of boats I could imagine affording or with potential but yachts like this should be in the mix.

    • @nr3059

      N R Oh I hear what you’re saying if you check out the listing broker the boat actually had a new keel a. 8mm skin over hull! There are probably very few in the American market interested in such a boat but the Netherlands is full of beautifully maintained boat like this and this was built new by Feadship a Premier yacht builder

    2:12 They're not Koi fish. They're the Roman/Medieval classical depiction of a dolphin. "Porpoise" comes from "pig-fish" in Latin, and artists who hadn't seen the actual possibly used that description to draw what they thought was a dolphin. Also looks a bit like Mahi Mahi - known as a "dolphinfish".
    The classical theme runs throughout the boat, with Neptune on the desk arms in the lounge, mosaic floors in the showers etc.

  • @robertmorrison107

    I like older boats but I am not a fan of motor sailers. I liked the woodwork and the layout wasn't bad....For a liveaboard in maybe CA it wouldn't be bad but you could find better sailing rigs for much much less with a similar level of quality. The only reason to look at this boat is as a work of art and stationary.

    Thanks for doing this video. This has to be one of the nicest boats I've ever seen on a UA-cam video or in person. The old school style of the boat (yacht) is great, but the refit they did is just absolutely stunning and brings the whole boat to another level. I love how they brought in the best aspects of modern styling (and tech, appliances, etc) while still maintaining that fantastic old "luxury liner" vibe. And...you guys are the BEST tour guides! (also, nice touch in starting to play the piano music after showing the piano! Was that your idea, Randi?)
