    This is the former named 'Island Waters', once owned and refitted by Bill Ruger of Sturm Ruger, well known firearms manufacturer in the USA. It was his first Motor Yacht. She was captained at that time by Bill Harris. My brother and I both were part of a crew of three.

    What a gorgeous little ship. That is the sort of yacht that comes out the other side of hurricanes. The stern doors are for Mediterranean style berthing- they prefer to moor stern to fixed piers, open the doors and put a gangway into the cockpit. It means you can berth a lot of yachhts next to each other whilst using the smallest amount of pier space.
    The gyrocompass would be by Sperry and the stabilisers will be Sperry too, same with the autopilot. That unit on the bridge is a combined gyrocompass autopilot and stabiliser control unit. It will have three gyros spinning in each axis- one for heading, one for pitch and one for roll. State of the art when this ship was built. Gyros tend to drift over time, so you would periodically check heading on the magnetic compass by the wheel, and adjust the gyro compass. The gyrocompass is much easier to read in rough conditions- much more stable.

    The compass binnacle on the boat deck has a repeater giro compass inside. With ther top off there will be an azimuth ring with a prism through which you can take bearings from lighthouses, landmarks, and celestial bodies to help with navigation. There was no Sat Nav in the 60s, navigation was all done with a paper chart, a compass, chronometer and a sextant.

    Victoria, to help you guys out, I was born in 1961 and the ship was built in 1963. I was only 2yrs old at the time but they did ask my advice. ....You were partially correct about the stern door, but that's not a flag pole, they would hang pirates from this and dangle them for shark bait. And the big transformer in the engine room is a mini nuclear engine, once you turned that blue handle in center beyond the ships wheel, the hydrofoil would engage and the ship could do 99 knots in low gear. I hope this helps. Woohoo

    I tried to buy this boat a year ago. My grandfather captained a sister ship to this one. This boat was named the Island Waters and built in 1961 for Gurnee Munn of Palm Beach. Neither the owners or broker would ever respond to my emails. We figured it was a scam. Instead, we bought an 1880s Victorian Mansion in Mississippi. They could have sold it, and made zero effort to even respond to an email.

      Thanks for clarifying, saved me doing so. I was nine years of age when this beauty left her build port of Berwick upon Tweed named 'Island Waters' September 11th 1963. Six years later my first job on leaving school was in the drawing office of this small yard, where I had the privilege of working on a later sister yacht, then named 'Thelma M 111' built for Thelma & Reggie Di Varmo a USA couple. I was lucky enough to do her shake down run from Berwick to Portsmouth before she set off to Florida. A couple of years later I had a few days on board in the marina in Pensacola. These yachts were proper sea going boats, based upon working trawler hull designs, not what the market seems to favour these days. Thanks for the video.

You could easily spend two million on her to bring her back, but what a looker she would be. The stories she could tell, the world she has seen. I think she would be worth the money plus to completely redo, as you said, the prettiest belle. Peace…

    After thinking about it,....the old centrifugal windows were called "Clear View" and that was the name on the motor in the center of the window. They work amazing. The compass on the boat deck is a gyro repeater. Take the cover off and put an azimuth circle on it and you can take True bearings and also an azimuth to check the compass error. It was up on the boat deck because there were fewer obstructions in the way. This is my kind of yacht.

It's definitely a labor of love to keep up something like this, but at the same time with a steel hull it will last indefinitely.

      Tell me about it. I have a steel-hulled schooner. It could last "indefinitely" if I had it hauled, cleaned and painted regularly. But I got myself in the position of having to work too many hours so I could afford the boat I never get to use except for a hurried weekend now and then. That's why I'm downsizing from a 53 footer to a 25' Westerly Centaur (fiberglass) built in 1975. Once I get that all sorted out I can go sailing again and "retirement" will actually mean retirement.@@pistonburner6448

      Maybe like tugboats- a quick response hard over tiller for the rudders. Makes quick rudder repositioning easy when maneuvreing. You can kick the engines ahead under full rudder one way, then whip the rudder across for astern in other direction. No winding a wheel back and forth, which being hydraulic, would be many, many turns lock to lock.
      I think that's what it would be given the age of the ship and that the main engines are relatively close together- I bet assymetric engine thrust does very litle to turn that boat. I also guarantee there is a long, full keel that would make it hard to turn.

Up in the pilot house, there was a "newer" Loran repeater next to the radar station. the table area above the steps was actually a chart table. All navigation was manual done with points, slides and rule measure against time. Paper charts were essential and marked courses. I'm amazed at the height of the bridge windows, I would have to stand on a block to see out to steer. The quarters next to the work room below were for first mate and bosun/cook. Such a grand lady in her time. Thanks for showing her.

    Takes me back to reading through Boating, Evinrude Magazines as kid while on vacation on Cape Cod. Grandmother’s unfinished house, no tv etc. Reading didn’t wake everyone up early mornings. 1966+. Magazines dated early 60’s. Maybe that’s why I love you folks! ⚓️

    Only a quarter of the way through the video now, but she looks like a beauty!
    I think at the rear door you might be able to put a passerelle there, for Mediterranean style boarding?
    Edit: Further thoughts
    There's plenty of love to put into this, definitely a fixer upper, but someone should do it, if for nothing other than the nostalgia factor. She has a ton of potential, and is a great looking yacht.
    On the helm, I'd keep at least one of the old compasses with some restoration work to make sure it's accurate etc. Probably the one at the helm station, as it's right in front. The depth sounder might also stay as an art piece :)
    Other than that, new everything except for the analogue engine dials, but see how much it could be blended in with the old helm station - integrate some new displays, replace the windscreen whirly things, because they're cool, but look like they're falling apart?
    I think the whole boat needs a top to bottom rewire, and new breaker panels. The beauty of that is that you could wire in proper ethernet and do a full modernisation of the network, wifi and entertainment packages. You could also run modern home automation if you fancied - I'd keep the look of any switchgear as retro as possible though, and I'd keep the decor of the boat in line with the time in which she was built. Obviously new tech like TV etc, but apart from that, keep her retro chic
    Apart from the new stainless exhaust pipes, I think pretty much everything on the top of the stack needs either replacing or refurbishment/welding work?
    In the salon, I'd probably put in an L shaped sofa on the port wall, with the other part of the L facing away from the galley, and put some storage in on the other wall, including a wine/drinks fridge and riser for the TV, rather than have the TV on the back wall
    On the top deck, I'd definitely consider making the frame for the cover permanent, possibly a hard top, and put solar panels on, as much as possible, then upgrade the battery package and electric gear, and run all of the electrics off the inverter(s), like the Bering boats.
    If possible, I'd also like to investigate the possibility of running some form of hybrid or electric power for the props? more batteries, less fuel tank, and maybe just use generators or the existing engines to charge the batteries?
    Of course, to fix her up like she deserves will probably cost an eye watering amount... Where's that lottery win when I need it?!

    Love the balancing between stern and now. Simple solution and no electronics involved. Fascinating the difference between today boats to this gracious Lady of the Sea.
    The galley looks amazing and in keeping with the boat. Get a sailing museum they'll tell you what most helm items are and the engine room. The cabins made me smile small but comfortable.
    This could be a beautiful boat with love , attention and careful planning to make the best of this Lady.

    I love these older boats. At this size I love all the different compartments to explore. You got all kinds of space to really make this a exciting yacht. Looking at the specs it gets about 1.2 miles a gallon which is really good for a boat of this size. Top speed 9 knots cruising 7 knots you won’t be getting anywhere in a hurry but that’s not what it’s about. I’m to old to take on such a project but my imagination tells me for someone who’s good at creating this would be great.

    In the old days pre sat nav positions when in sight of land etc . Were obtained with , typically, a three point fix , to take three compass bearings ships used the bridge wing gyro repeaters . This yacht has a single repeater placed high up for a good all round view . So somewhere below, probably in the wheelhouse, will be the master gyro which drives that repeater.
    The hatch on the funnel is probably an emergency escape from the ER .

    • @jackmcgonegal8728
      @jackmcgonegal8728 9 месяцев назад

      Exactly. It's called a Pelorus. We had at least one on each bridge wing with a sight to line up on prominent navigation features. You quickly call out the bearings to your navigation team who would plot them on the chart to get fixes. Leaving and coming into port you'd be doing this almost non-stop. I did an exchange assignment with the Royal Navy on a light cruiser and unlike the USN, I didn't have a nav team. I had to take the bearings, quickly record them, dash into the bridge, locate the points on the chart, draw the bearings, hope you got it right, and then rush back out to shoot another round of bearings. That convinced to head off to flight school.😂😂
