  • 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.

    Absolutely wonderful!!! ❤❤❤ I often feel that more modern yachts are like floating caravans. Not so with this beauty!!! What a fantastic throwback to simpler times!!! ❤❤❤
  • @davidmwood560
    Quite simply put:- A real gentleman's motor-yacht. Thank you Nick, for a magnificent peek into a better world.
  • @raydf
    "Gentlemanly cruise at 10 knots" -- love it! 😀
  • I’m in love with this boat! Character doesn’t begin to describe its attributes. It’s for old school relaxation and comfort.
  • @victorduffy4459
    In my opinion, new boats can't compete with the character and warmth of the classics.
  • @MattyMonk
    It speaks volumes that for the first time in a while I didn't know the layout. Watching your videos has meant I can work out a layout of a boat quite easily normally, not so with the beautiful example. An absolute delight. 😊
  • @worddunlap
    This is a clear glimpse into the owner's mind. It is a beautiful vessel.
  • @quiglid
    All I thought about was the rich aroma of varnish and wood and class! Modern vessels don’t have such gravitas!
  • My goodness what a beauty built in Scotland the very same year I was born . Ageing somewhat more gracefully than I , massive Swallows and Amazons vibes indeed . Nick thank you from the very bottom of my cockles for gifting us the pleasure of seeing her I am all of a swoon simply beautiful ole gal .
  • What a VERY beautiful boat! Tasteful, classy, warm, timeless.
  • @johnhaxby306
    just gorgeous, BUT THE SAILING YACHTS on either side are amazing too!
  • We used to visit Silvers yard for repairs to our RNLI lifeboat. They built some beautiful “pieces of wood” over the years.

    Thanks so much for this, Nick! As one who spent many hours of his youth sanding varnish on a 1964 Trumpy, I can appreciate the quality of the brightwork on this one.
  • The term "Classic" is bandied about these days too much BUT this yacht is truly a Classic in all senses of the word, just wonderful. Thanks for the tour Nick!
  • What a beautiful vessel! It feels like a museum but it's still very much in use! Also again something completely different! Really fun impressions of this!
  • The brand-spanking-new boats (including slightly older but refurbished) are great and all, but this one boat has more character than 98% of all else we've seen on this channel. Thanks for sharing this one, and here's hoping to see many more!
