  • 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.
    Let us know if you want to see more big, awesome boats like this!

    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.

    My wife’s grandfather had a 110’ yacht that looked something like this. He had a ranch in Argentina while his home was in Shreveport, LA. She said it had a crew of five and he spent his winters in Naples, Fla enjoying the water around the Fla keys.
    Someone has lavished a lot of love in the building of this boat. It has all you could need to roam the oceans and such a classy interior it makes you gasp

    Hi guys As a Dutchman i have to tell you this ship is original build as a sailing freight ship for the big lakes and rivers in the Netherlands. the type of ships is called Tjalk and must be build in the early years of the 20th century. You could be searching on google on the type Tjalk then you will see how it was original build.

  • @rp1645
    @rp1645 2 года назад +1

    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.

    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.

    • @DokterRoetker

      @ no it's not, they use ships with leeboards on shallow seas as well, like the Waddenzee and Zuiderzee, or big lakes in the Netherlands. They would not use the leeboards inside canals, the ships would be towed then by horse.

    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!

It was My first boat, a 17 foot with the neat mohogany wood facing forward window's. That tells me the owner knows a great ship to shore support craft. The woodwork of the fish, and the Fact that the woodwork had new varnish on it shows care and the continued painting to keep that woodworking bright. Those Fish what a great thing to look at in the wood. I love it and you just started. Thank you so,so much for being able to go on her, and show all us lovers of those grand vessels, that we can see it, doing excellent job of explaining everything.

      For the same price you could get a really nice all Carbon Fiber catamaran like a Gun Boat, H&H, Tag 60 with impeccable interior. All that wood bright works is nothing but months of work each year. I agree if you had to just live somewhere this boat would be a water mansion but Cat Sailing at 20 knots is better by far.

    Personally, I find that this vessel shows the art of joinery. The multi-level layout adds to the skills of all who had a hand in its creation. I have always been in awe of the construction methodologies of the "Tall Ships" especially in the late 16th through the early 19th centuries. Perfect joinery of timbers from the keel to the top of the tallest mast. Nothing is "roughed-in". Your presentation of this piece of art that you can sail on was refreshing, because both of you were captured by its hypnotic powers. This vessel is just about the size you need when the little one makes an entrance.

    Probably the most gorgeous "small" ship I have seen since I was running around the Harry Lunberg School of Seamanship back before they sold off their museum of ships. Thanks for the tour!

      Your HLSS note caught my eye. I as a teenager went to HLSS in the early 1970s. It was so so cool to be dropped into that collection of boats & ships. When not in class I would explore; PT boat, troop barrack barge, 'mafia' party boats, newfoundland fishing sloops, lighthouse boats, presidential yachts......
      I am now very curious about the how&why that HLSS had such a beautiful collection of well restored, maintained marine craft. Some sorta deal with the shipping companies or through US Government largesse?
      But the most fun adventures were single handed sailing of 16' daysailers into the backwaters of the Chesapeake, rummaging around on abandoned hulks.
      Seems like a dream now.

      @@apergiel ​ @Andrew Pergiel Well I can tell you about how they acquired some of them. Manitou was bought from the USCG at auction after the passing of the JFK administration. It was built in 1936 by S&S to race the GLs. The grand daughter of the original owner purchased her from the school.
      She had a home on an estuary with a small pier near near the school where most of the work went down. She re-planked the teak deck and the mahogany hull and brought the interior up to newer comfort standards. So she fell into heavy disrepair when the SUI had to tighten its belt. Then she sold it to some people to race in the classics in the Mediterranean.
      So she went to Europe and was outfitted with new sails and had one spreader removed from the main mast leaving 2. Of course the original gasoline engine she had when we were aboard her was replaced with a diesel. They did not expect much out her in the 1st racing season on the Med but she surprised most everyone. She was up for sale for the bargain price of 375K or so not too long ago.
      The thing that keeps her from being as desirable a cruiser as she is a racing yawl is the fact that it can run well over 100K pr yr just keep up on her. The gal who bought it from the school wanted to make her into a Chesapeake charter but the numbers just were not there for that.
      Manitou is the only sailboat to date I have been aboard that was designed to fly on her rails. Having the leeward deck awash hauling ass was the most fun I have ever had on any sailing vessel to this very day. She was magnificent!
      I can detail how they got a few of the others as well if you would like.

    Good job and beautiful boat. I'm glad you are also now touring motor yachts. There are some beauties out there, and some of us plan to retire onto motor yachts. I currently own a 50'MY, and now prefer it to sailing, which I used to do. Thanks for this video. It gave me some ideas.

    These big beauties look slow and lumbering with that bluff bow, but she'll heel right over with her rails in the water and fly if you let her. I'm sure this one will handle differently with all of the changes that have been made to her, but she's still a lovely shape and the attention to detail is fantastic. Absolutely beautiful, and she won't look like every other plastic boat out on the water either. Thanks for the walk-through.
