This Unique STEEL EXPEDITION SHIP Can Go ANYWHERE [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

At first the 'home built' label made me skeptical - but then you realize the builder took 30 years to get everything perfect. No engineer could possibly anticipate the realities of boat life as well as someone living aboard for decades.

I like the galley being near the steering station. While solo or on night watch, you could cook and eat without abandoning the helm.

Someone put a great deal of love and thought as well as their life into building that boat. I hope the new buyer will take it to the four corners of the world as it was obviously intended.

This was home built!? Absolutely beautifully designed and built. You can just 'feel' the stability and strength features of it.!

She’s 24 1-2 tons of solid boat, if I were to own her I would do a few minor changes, mainly cosmetic but with all the mechanicals and redundancy built into her I wouldn’t touch, the owner put a lot of thought and love into this vessel, very cozy.

Personally? I find this design and decor just wonderful! With junk sails! WAY more fun than the standard fare... amazing!!!!

What an awesome boat. Reminds me of something like 1930's junk steamer from Africa or South Asia. Plus with it being steel means you don't have to worry about much in terms of weather. It is eclectic but that is the charm. They did a great job. For a home build especially.

What a cool, very custom design. I was surprised at just 49,000 lbs, I figured it would run an easy 70,000. Your right, that boat will go anywhere, in any weather conditions

I think you've hit it out of the ballpark with this absolutely beautiful vessel, thanks for showing us. The Owners should be so very proud of this magnificent achievement. It's about as close to perfect as is possible.....

Unique is a very good word for this boat. Not my cup of tea, but I enjoy seeing something different. It'd be a boring world if we all liked the same things.

What a fantastic vessel! Great layout! And it has everything! Thanks for the tour!

Beautiful and well-designed boat. Like the junk rig. Thank you for featuring it.

I love the bath tub.

While very much not the boat for us I love this tour. You've taken the advice from comments to show all the boat and, boy howdy, did you include details during the final walkthrough. 🙂 If I were to have this boat it would get a very major refit which, sadly, would likely wreck much of what the owner/builders tried to do as we don't seem to sail the way they do....not saying they are wrong but that we approach it differently. I hope she finds a new home with folks who can truly appreciate what the builders did and get the maximum out of her. She is an amazing vessel.

Definitely a cool boat, great tour! As usual thanks for broadening horizons of what's out there to be sailed!

I like the combination of a junk rig and a steel double ended hull. Very nice.

I think it looks amazing, has a lot of character and it's own unique charm. The new owner could easily change seat covers, wall colors, etc to make it look quite a bit different if desired.

Stout heavy weather vessel . And a beauty! My grand father Bas STALLARD would approve. " Mapu " was a flush deck gaff rigged double ender ,pitch poled in the Tasman sea out of Lord Howe 77. Broke our hearts. This vessel is truly a sea going girl!

What a truly amazing boat. The cabinetry, storage, sleeping, all the goodies, access to the engine. WOW! Will it float?

Smartly laid out. The unguyed mast really cleans up the deck. Kudos.
