I had the Pleasure of dining aboard a sister ship, Wiedersehen, tied up at the Greenwich, CT yacht club in late Summer 1958 I was at the time a member of the crew of USCGC OAK, also tied up at the club. Wiedersehen had just completed the transatlantic crossing. The crew was ashore. The Captain alone on board. As my two Shipmates and I walked past on liberty, he came on deck for a chat and then, to our surprise, invited on board for dinner with him.A FREE MEAL? Aboard a Feadship Canoe Stern? Who could resist?
Looks like a damn good yacht 2 me I don't know about engine, generator and all that stuff but like they say: if the price is Right anything is 4 Sale !! By the way I gave you ur LIKE !! 😅😅😊😊
There are a lot of things about this boat that I love and only a few that I hate. If by some miracle I were to acquire it, I would want to update a lot, upgrade some, while trying very, very hard to maintain it's original aesthetic. I might even find a place for my complete Tintin collection.
It'd take at least $100,000 to make her right. It really annoys me when an owner fails to maintain their vessel. The old practice of keelhauling seems to be an appropriate penalty. I hope someone restores her properly and loves her for another 60 years.
$100K would barely update the electronics. Engines…another $100K. Most importantly, nothing was said about the condition of the 60 year old steel hull…which probably needs a substantial amount of repair/replacement. That would probably make this an unrealistic project for anyone other than a connoisseur of classic vessels…with a bottomless wallet. $1M would probably be on the low end.
These are nice boats, but this one needs more work than the asking price. Over $150,000.00 in electronics updates, $200,000.00 in deck work(restoring the teak decks) the galley is abysmal and terribly in efficient. Electrical upgrades are about $50,000.00. I see no tender, another $10, 000.00 plus. As a long time boat builder/restorer, I would value this boat at $150, 000.00 in her current condition. She has suffered from a lack of a real owner/steward to keep her updated and maintained properly over the years.
I agree with your refit costs but you also have to pay for the classic design. It had a refit in 2008 so let's hope the steel hull and alu top are in good shape 🙂
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out my social media management business: bit.ly/ShipShape_Social_Media_Management
Lovely classic yacht. I love this kind of yacht. A small ship. No hurry but very stable at sea.
Gorgeous ship, will take a million euro’s for the refit, but she deserves it😊
Absolutely love it. The patina is so appealing to me. With some TLC this will be a gem in my opinion.
Love it. This is my kind of yacht.
Feadship. Quality.
Nice classic yacht.
stunning

Fantastic 🫡
Interesting boat, good pedigree. Will be a bit of a money pit, would be a good buy sub 250k euros.

Love the styling and lines of this little ship, could easily sink £20,000 into tarting her up just to a serviceable standard.
You would spend double that amount on the teak decks alone .
You missed just one zero there
All that flat space up top should be covered with solar panels.
"Classic" solar panels?
@@Toby_the_Glen which ever one you prefer. I would take the "classic" and raise it one inch off the roof for cooling.
An overdue full refit of this classic yacht would cost more than the asking price .
How efficient are those diesels?
This could be a nice ship after a fully rebuild, but that takes more then the price now.

Maybe the owner got OLD and had to repair themselves before the boat 😉
Agreed with you pal! The force is so strong!

Judging by the bell, the owner did not really like his boat
1962 price guess: $75,000
