It's truly a shame how many great vessels end up like this from lack of attention. Boatyards around the world are full of them! Thanks for going aboard and taking us with you, I always enjoy that kind of exploration!
The irony is this was once a very elegant vessel ... And someone would take it on as a project ... Sailing seabird just bought a 41 ft 15 plus year boat that had been flooded with rain water for a Euro ..to rebuild in the S of France. They need to get that spare diesel off the deck and pump out the contaminated bilges. The haul out is going to be a monumental task that main mask is big and the Ketch mast is probably as big as Ricks SSL main.
Nothing great about this boat. For a 60' boat look how they have to duck to walk around. The beam has got to be in the 11' range. It's been leaking and rotting for years.
@@JohnDoe-jq1br True , that internal woodwork did not get like that due to a few drops of rain occasionally . This boat has been left idle for months or years with hatches partly or fully open .
It's one of those boats that I wouldn't take even if you paid me, my days of dreaming of fixing up an old boat are long gone. I couldn't think of anything worse to do. One thing that comes with age is wisdom and that tells me to give this old boat a wide berth
One thing I've learned over 40 years of experience sailing is that rebuilding a boat old or relatively new ,It gives you an advantage while out at sea or in remote parts of the world , to know absolutely every butt connector every wire , every hose camp, through hull, every single bolt and screw and truly knowing every system on the boat gives you peace of mind when offshore ! Even more so than a band new boat that your not familiar with . Have fun people !!!!!!!
@@walterhoward5686 I agree. Few things more unsettling than having serious trouble on an unfamiliar boat with only a vague idea of what's under the floorboards or behind the panels.
I am currently in the yard in St Augustine working on my 33 year old Bruce Roberts steelie. Getting everything below waterline done. I know this boat now, inside and out. I carry a welder on board for small jobs. Tools to do anything I might want/need to repair. If all you know are the fuel filler and key, get a different hobby or learn what you need to know. Ignorance at sea endangers not just you and your crew but others who may have to search for you.
Was a beautiful boat….unfortunate that it was ignored so badly. Thanks for the plug for the Harp and Celt Irish Pub on Brian’s shirt. Always appreciated 😎 Cheers Mates, Orlando Rick
I have been sailing since 1967. It is still surprising how often people abandon a sailboat at sea. A lot of the time there is absolutely no reason to get off the boat. Just shameful.
What are the laws surrounding an ABANDONED SHIP? Is it free game for anyone who claims it? Does International Waters make it easier to claim these floating ghosts?
@@Glostahdude There is no more “ high seas salvage’’. Registered owners must give written permission or sign over title. BUT, in some countries. Cash is everything. Government corruption rules.
@@howardrich2662 I’m pretty sure you are still entitled to a reward appropriate to the value of what you salvaged. It can get pretty complicated, what happens if the owner claims on their insurance and the insurance declares it a complete loss, but a few months later someone tows it into port with a few bumps and scratches?
@@Aron-ru5zk no, only if your a licensed captain and vessel. You cannot just board a abandoned vessel. Every country has different salvage laws. Scavengers laws send you to jail and you loose you boat.
Thank you for this journey, I realize now how good I have it fixing our old 41 ketch Stardust that sat 25 years and got her sailing in 3 months, this boat here looks like several years and 40 -70 k to get it to anything near ABYC or Lloyds specs.
I had a 43' powerboat. Every time I thought I had it zeroed out, it would break my heart again. I put up with it for 10 years. Had many good times on her, but I reached the point where my wife and I had enough. Man, if you haven't seen the movie "Dead Calm", this boat is very reminiscent - especially when it was floating the floorboards. To my non+expert eyes, that is either megabucks restoration, or a total loss. Beauty when she was in her prime that's for sure.
Capt Rick, you're like a magnet 🧲 seems like things and situations are pulled to you. Well I couldn't think of anyone better to be of good service than you. Happy sails ⛵️ 💓 kiss for Maddie and bundle of you and crew.
It would be awesome to see someone get ahold of that boat and see them fix it up. I'm sure in its day, before the years of neglect it was beautiful. Someone could spend years on a you tube channel just filming all of the repairs! Captain Rick should buy it and start another channel just filming all of the repairs 😃
More like a nightmare ship then A ghost ship wow lots of lots of work and money to be poured into that boat before it can even be salvaged . thanks for the tour Rick!
Way cool video! That would be a fun project for someone that knows how to do it. It is a shame to see a beautiful vessel like that so wasted from neglect.
I would LOVE to do that but it takes a deep pocket to restore what looks like a classic cold molded wooden hull with teak decking. Beautiful as she is and seaworthy after all that abuse ! Rick is right. Lots could be recuperated and the rigging looks solid still. I've owned cold molded yachts and their construction makes them VERY solid. But painstakingly expensive to restore and upkeep. A beautiful expensive project.
When I first started watching sailing channels these kids were given a slightly small fiberglass boat, no mast, no engines, and put it together, living on it while they did. They eventually made it out into the Caribbean, where they might have eventually abandoned it due to lack of everything. The story of this boat might be similar, and how the current owner ended up with it would I'm sure be quite a story in itself. She was a beautiful lady at one time. It has much more than the one the kids rebuilt, yet, needs so much its amazing.
From a distance, that boat has beautiful classic lines reminiscent of years gone by. Close up, breaks my heart it has not been maintained for many many years. Interestingly, it appears to be a US registered vessel which I believe means that all repairs would have to be brought up to US maritime standards. IF the hull and structure are sound and with all of the rigging in place, it is a distant possibility that in the hands of the right restorer it could be a beautiful ship again. Short of that, the best thing to do is intentionally sink it at depth as an artificial reef as sad as that sounds. In that brief walkthrough, there was some glimpses of a refit. The ceiling panels are more modern than something from the sixties, the cabinet work other than hinges and the like showed good attention for the finish of the wood. This is a very bipolar enigma. Captain Rick, you are probably the only qualified person in San Andreas to provide recommendations for what to do with it. If the owner abandons it I’m sure the fishing boat captain isn’t going t get a cent for his effort which really sucks. I’m hoping for a better outcome thought. Keep us posted.
If the the guy who was "hired" to rescue it does not get paid he then has legal rights to have the boat seized. I hope that he gets fair reward for his efforts, as I would not wish this boat on anyone without good knowledge of what they are taking on and most importantly. DEEP pockets.
That boat has had no maintenance at all for years by the looks of it and what a weird way to store diesel fuel if that was the case . Strange to say the least .
I think the guy that rescued the boat asked for expenses up front, I wouldn't even pull anchor without estimating fuel, labor, towing and hired hands plus pumps and other equipment up front. If the owner decided to abandon it after the fact, I wouldn't be in bad shape.
@@grosvenorclub Never seen a yacht sailing across an ocean? A real ocean? Maybe a frozen ocean? Where are you gonna store so much diesel? Below decks? In your bedroom, that is?!
Talk about a “Total Refit”. After salvaging some of the nice interior wood, the Columbian Navy should tow it out to sea and use it for target practice!
Looks like a few years too gut it, and rebuild it. Probably some stuff is salvageable. Would be a great project for a local wanting a tour/ dive/ scuba operation. Good size. Steel hull is a bonus. Awesome head, a wide open galley, dining area, proper engine room with storage.
Wow, that was once a beautiful vessel for sure... ! I am amazed at how long that was floating around at sea.. An Captain Dave, your an amazing human. To not only tow the vessel to St. Andres. But also offer to fix her up for the owner in turkey.. You're all amazing people, there's something so special about the boating community....I hope everything goes well with getting the vessel buttoned up!! Thanks for sharing your lives with us... grateful ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Awesome video as usual 👌. But this one is different, intriguing 🤔 , curious 🤔 and very strange and sad to see such beautiful sailing ship left abandoned 😢 to rot . It definitely has potential, if someone has that kind of money to have her restored and updated which will take lot of time and money 💰 😉. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video with us. I enjoyed watching 👀 it tremendously 👍👍👍👏👏👏 ✌❤🍀 🌬⛵
When I see something painted that color, I am brought to mind people that seek out the stealth look. Most of the time, they have no clue what they are doing. This boat has shades of a good sea mystery novel.
The decks look like they are in relativity good shape. Get it in a shipyard, order a dumpster, and get everything out of it. Stabilize the decks and cabin tops, stabilize the hull, and get to work, one section at a time. Totally salvageable.
Wow. Another great video Rick! Do you think you will take this complete rebuild on as a project? It would be an amazing series of videos,for sure. 60 feet, wow.😀🇨🇦
Thanks Rick for sharing that that was quite fascinating to me on a Sunday morning I actually drink 2 cups of coffee while watching that lol. Looks like a great boat for Mrs. Lonestar friend of yours; i’m not sure if the owner wants to do with it but if they were willing to donate it to a RUclips channel to do a flip it might be brought back to life. The thing about everything in the way it is you don’t need to salvage anything it’s a total gut and rebuild so you have the freedom to paint a blank canvas. I think it cost way more money when you try to fix or salvage stuff because in the long run it’s going to be game over. The tech decks can be sanded sealed. A new dodger with some new isinglass glass thing about having the old electronics is there’s no reason to keep them. My guess is it’s a $250,000 boat in mint condition if somebody wanted to take 65 to 85,000 got it seal it up and put it back together they could probably have a pretty nice vessel. The engine may need to be replaced as well like I said you don’t have to salvage anything you can start with a blank canvas and keep it as you want it and put in the right and newer materials as needed. John Sailing Instructor that’s a video editor that’s a school bus driver that used to be a yellow cab driver in Kansas City thanks again Rick for making my life better on Sunday morning.
With lots of work and open up some walls it would be a good boat if you can get it at a cheap price. Thanks Rick for showing us around.motor looks like a good size I would raise the deck about 2 foot for headroom when replacing the deck with new wood or put fiberglass deck. But she's a rough boat
@25:47 That trim line in red-white-blue suggests either the ship has been quite a while in The Netherlands, or(and) the sail was made there. Interesting.🧐
This boat was far gone long before she set sail and hit the storm. This boat is toast.. I was just curious what is the hall made out of? And you want to talk about a money pit. Just curious let me know if it comes up for sale thanks Rick good show it's a lot of fun..
SV Vanett just a few years back was in pristine condition . Sickening to see her now, except for her name and registry unrecognizable, A ghost ship fits.
Collin on Sailing Parley Revival spent over a year at Linton Bay along with David working on their 450's. Maybe he saw something as a rough as she is she is an eye catcher.
Anyone else thinking insurance claim on lost boat in hurricane? Doesn't look like the births could have been used or anyone planned on using them. Any provisions or were they not planning on being aboard that long? Was quite the craft in her day.
She's a beautiful yacht and deserves to find someone willing to put her back on the oceans. Don't hear of many yachts left to drift in a storm that make it through the storm... The underminings of an excellent yacht and good design to begin with if she can handle bad weather with no crew.
@@AdamC5013 Any Blue Water boat is a tough boat. THIS one is a beautiful one. Cold molded wood with teak decks and a classic shape. MAny other blue water boats wouldn't have survived what this yacht has suffered. Thats what I meant.
@@team3383 Yeah surely it’s been through hell. I’ve heard lots of stories of people getting scared jumping ship and then people tracking it down and recovering it. Based on the condition of that boat I would’ve been scared and ready to jump off before leaving the harbor ha ha
Oh that boat definitely needs a movie company to make Captain Ron Two? Maybe RUclips would consider investing in an overhaul if plenty video content is involved. I have to presume at this point of the state it is in hull integrity and masts would be the deciding factor in whether it is worth saving?
It's truly a shame how many great vessels end up like this from lack of attention. Boatyards around the world are full of them! Thanks for going aboard and taking us with you, I always enjoy that kind of exploration!

I believe you dont need to fix it an rebuilt it all by yourself.But to clean everything gives you a good picture about all pieces put together.
Me too. Same reasons, but she deserves it having been abandoned and survived alone. She's a beautiful vessel.
I am currently in the yard in St Augustine working on my 33 year old Bruce Roberts steelie. Getting everything below waterline done. I know this boat now, inside and out.

That is the best intro of any sailing channel, love it Captain
Never a dull moment on this channel!! 🤜🤛
Thanks Thomas, enjoy the video!
Ain't that the truth! Rick's always got something going!
I knew there would be a reason I'm glad they're still in San Andres!
The Skipper that brought her in had it to do, my hat's off to him!!
What a nice introduction for the video, Cap Rick.
Just glad you were there rick to check on the boat .
Made for an interesting day! :)

We shall call her the Black Pearl! ✌️♥️💙☀️ Great Video Captain
I remember the Fastness disaster many years ago lots of abandoned boats still afloat and ok after the storm, stick with the boat if you can always
What an awesome old twin-mast yacht. I would easily take a year off to restore and modernize that beauty.
..if you have 500 k to toss into it.
Capt Rick, you're like a magnet 🧲 seems like things and situations are pulled to you. Well I couldn't think of anyone better to be of good service than you. Happy sails ⛵️ 💓 kiss for Maddie and bundle of you and crew.
The guys who took it offshore,after it sat for 3 years, where supposed to sink it. That would be my guess...
Watch episode 378 of ssl at 3:27 …. What is lying at the dock in lindon marine…your ghostvessel!
thats it
Hi Just found her on Google, 72 ft, Steel hull, built 1979 in Italy, EX hire / Cruiser , With a steel hull she could be worth doing up.
"VANETT" registered in Delawere
and thank u for keeping the same intro music. it is so beutiful.

It sat 3 years with no attention??? I think it was hauled out to sea and someone hoped it would sink in the storm.
No way that it would have been insured.
More like a nightmare ship then A ghost ship wow lots of lots of work and money to be poured into that boat before it can even be salvaged .
thanks for the tour Rick!

Absolutely amazing Captain Rick! The poor boat is in ruff shape what a shame. Thanks for video.⛵
Like the new intro. That boat needs a bon fire party
Glad you like!
New intro is awesome. Always out here watching.
Your new into is just plain fantastic. Great job. Ricci is turning into such a boy.
Good old Rick to the rescue a handy guy to have around.👍👍👍👍
Repairs and refitting are going to be huge. She was a beautiful ship.
So sad She was not better taken care of.

On the East coast of England we use Anchors like that all the time and they work fine in the silt and sand of the Thames Estuary..
Wow what a crazy thing to have happened!!! So glad you got to capture this for the vlog!!! Always beautiful adventures on "The Lady"! 💖⛵🏆💎✨
Whoah! Even if you could get that boat for free, free boats are some of the most expensive boats out there! Maybe someone will adopt her.
Love love love the new intro.
That yacht is ideal for my Seven Seas Ldz project.
New boat Cpt Rick ??? Go on boy, you got it in you.
Talk about a “Total Refit”. After salvaging some of the nice interior wood, the Columbian Navy should tow it out to sea and use it for target practice!
Looks like a few years too gut it, and rebuild it.
Probably some stuff is salvageable.
Would be a great project for a local wanting a tour/ dive/ scuba operation.
Good size. Steel hull is a bonus.
Awesome head, a wide open galley, dining area, proper engine room with storage.
I may have missed it but what ever happened to the “Captain Ron” boat and the owner?
Thanks 👍
I think it might still be up in Guatemala for sale!
Like the opening to you video this week. Also get a new Canadian Flag for your dinghy. Love your videos.
I love the new intro for your videos!
Ditto, thanks to the new help.
The anchor is what's known as a tattoo anchor .They are actually very difficult to dislodge .
Once it's on your arm ... You're stuck with it ! LOL😆
Wow, that was once a beautiful vessel for sure... ! I am amazed at how long that was floating around at sea.. An Captain Dave, your an amazing human. To not only tow the vessel to St. Andres. But also offer to fix her up for the owner in turkey..

Thanks for sharing this sad story if i never lost my boat i hope David is the one fine it
ok hang on to that and I'll be right down :) You do have a good channel!
Thanks James!

l see the ghost Ship is still flying the Ensign🇺🇸 👀.....Big job for some body.....Thanks Cap for the update 👍....Shoe🇺🇸
Great video captain love the intro so sad about the 60ft but I'm sure it will be fixed
Nice video!
The salvaged schip is a scrapper, materials to fix her upp are expencive..
So is docking her.
Greetings from holland
Wow, thanks for the cool adventure! If you find any gold, leave it, it may be cursed hehe...
The animated outtro with the logo is insane! Great work
Really, who made that? Great graphics. Professional.
I truly enjoy your channel
Thank you Daniel, cheers to that! :)
The decks look like they are in relativity good shape. Get it in a shipyard, order a dumpster, and get everything out of it. Stabilize the decks and cabin tops, stabilize the hull, and get to work, one section at a time. Totally salvageable.
Great Captain Ron impression 😂😂😂😂😂!!
What stories the boat must have , good times 2 u captain.
Love the new intro!
Awesomeness!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
That would be one hell of a refit project
Love the new opening Capt.
The classic “ good from afar, but far from good”
Wow. Another great video Rick! Do you think you will take this complete rebuild on as a project? It would be an amazing series of videos,for sure. 60 feet, wow.😀🇨🇦
shame of those shipss would love to own my own boat again.... thank you for showing us
Love your new intro!
At one point that was a nice boat ... it's going to take some work to bring it back :o
"She's gonna need some work here, that's for sure" - Massive understatement! What a wreck. They should have scuttled it in the deep sea.

name and registry
unrecognizable,

Lithium iron phosphate batteries in a water tight compartment would be just fine. Provided all the breakers worked.
Cool intro :)
Glad you like!
Love to view the interior of the ghost ship" she's a big un"
That could have been your floating guest house 😃
Not worth the cost and time to rehab. I need to bathe after just watching your footage!
She's a beautiful yacht and deserves to find someone willing to put her back on the oceans. Don't hear of many yachts left to drift in a storm that make it through the storm... The underminings of an excellent yacht and good design to begin with if she can handle bad weather with no crew.
Happens more than you think, many blue water boats are built tougher than us meatbags!
@@AdamC5013 Any Blue Water boat is a tough boat. THIS one is a beautiful one. Cold molded wood with teak decks and a classic shape. MAny other blue water boats wouldn't have survived what this yacht has suffered. Thats what I meant.
@@team3383 Yeah surely it’s been through hell. I’ve heard lots of stories of people getting scared jumping ship and then people tracking it down and recovering it. Based on the condition of that boat I would’ve been scared and ready to jump off before leaving the harbor ha ha
Oh that boat definitely needs a movie company to make Captain Ron Two? Maybe RUclips would consider investing in an overhaul if plenty video content is involved. I have to presume at this point of the state it is in hull integrity and masts would be the deciding factor in whether it is worth saving?
Good man to search, find and secure the vessel... glad it didn't end up on the reef and all that diesel in the water needs to go now!!!
