    Quite simply put:- A real gentleman's motor-yacht. Thank you Nick, for a magnificent peek into a better world.

    Oh my - at 78, this boat is 20 years my younger. I was just beginning my first "tour" in the fight for my life jungles of Vietnam. I so wish I was in such good condition. As the old comedian said - "If I knew I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself, but had far less fun!". Thanks, Nick and everyone involved with this amazing yacht.

      Wish I could look as good as her at 59 years old.
      What a fabulous master cabin.
      A cruising boat for lazy, hazy cruising day. No rushing no racing she is a Gentleman cruiser. Classical boat..

    Now THIS is a boat after my own heart, truly a "class act". Thank you so much for the tour!
    Being a sailor though, I second the wish to see a tour of the yacht to her starboard, or, actually, any of those fabulous sailing yachts on display.
    I wasn't really aware that Camper & Nicholson had a brokerage? I know them from having lusted after their C&N 35 back in the early seventies (wound up with a Westsail).

    • @AQUAHOLIC
      @AQUAHOLIC  6 місяців тому +1

      Camper & Nicolson was a boat builder based in Gosport (I think), Camper & Nicolsons is an international yacht brokerage. 🙂

      @lapsedluddite3381 6 місяців тому +1

      Thank you Nick!
      I went down the interweb rabbit hole, and discovered the brokerage started as a fork off the original yacht building company, which grew from a shipyard established in 1782.
      Same genes, different generations, although the brokerage was sold off to new management in 1989.
      Still maintaining the same peerless standards 200 years later.

    What an absolutely beautiful boat. You just keep finding the most amazing boats to show us. 2 things really stand out, for me. First, the amazing amount of storage drawers in the owner's cabin, not so much hanging space, but I'd think leisure wear works folded in drawers. Second, beam of the boat matters. These older yachts aren't as wide, and you can certainly see how that matters in this design. Just more compact. I think I could happily live on this beauty.

  • @tonybazz53

    Some of these new yachts could take a page or two from this amazing classic. I really like the seating along three sides of the salon with the integrated dinning table and the long storage side bar along the opposite side of the salon. It's just so practical and as Nick would say; works so well. Can you imagine how much it would cost to re-create this gorgeous vessel? No particle board in this beauty. Thanks for bringing this outstanding example of marine perfection to our attention Nick.

    I used to live right next to Silvers Boatyard on the Gareloch. It was always interesting to walk through the yard to get to the beach and it was the best place to watch the wonderful sunsets. There was always something interesting to see and people to meet who were working on their yachts. It was lovely to see this boat. A real classic. This is the boat I would buy if I had the money. A proper boat unlike some of these modern monstrosities. Thank you for sharing your tour of her.

    What an amazing find! - I think this may be my new No #1 motor boat on Aquaholic - I love the steamer chairs the engine room and everything in between! But then I am a sucker for wood, and 1966 was a vintage year for many reasons - I only wish I had aged that well! Thank you so much for sharing and bringing such variety and class.

    This is achingly beautiful, Nick.
    I have toured a few of the Dunkirk Little Ships, and this is as pretty as some of those.

    That’s what I like about your channel Nick, you’re just never sure what kind of thing might be next, just as long as it floats and takes you fancy. The variation spread is better than any other channel in my humble opinion. Please continue to surprise and delight.

    I remember the Silver yard. They were still building them when I was a boy. There were two yards next to each other at the enterence to the Gareloch, now home to the UK atomic submarine fleet. 11:00 Back them the Clyde had many yards building sailing yachts. They have all gone. This would have been one of the larger Silver yachts. Even back then they were thought to be special. How life has changed, I sail a soulless Beneteau on the South Coast and the Med.

      Spot on! I lived not far from Silvers yard on the Gareloch and it was always a great occasion when their latest vessel was launched. I have been aboard quite a few of these beautiful creations, and my father bought a Sivers motoryacht which was built long before this Silver Cavalier and it has been renovated by a more recent owner and is sailing the seas today.

      Both yards (Silvers and McGruers) are still there. I used to live right next to Silvers yard until 2018.

    I am so glad that these old girls are still on display. It's something that your grandad would have loved. It is a wonder that they have survived after all these years.

    Call me old fashioned but that's nicer than most of the modern boats you show. It's got soul, character and some wood.
