Come on you guys this is a proven boat. Twice around the world 150,000 nautical miles, and still looks brand new. Obviously built and designed to last and looks like a dream. I wish I could own it.
Not sure it can get worse... Had to skip forward throughout video... Wish I'd thought of muting. Think I was in too much shock for normal brain function... Liked boat much though!
"The owner sailed her single handed twice around the world and twice through the Northwest Passage". Amazing! That's what I would want to do. Just me and the boat 🥰⛵
KM beautiful built for sure, amazing yacht! For the interior I was expecting larger being a 56 ft. Love the modern minimalist style but that is very subjective. Maybe the reason for smaller than usual accommodations is the fact that the yacht has larger storage? Not sure. Regardless, it is awesome.
I think it's partly the storage, but mostly down to the fact that mass-produced boats designed with an eye on the charter market dominate the sailing media. These types of boats sacrifice a lot of performance (and some seaworthiness) to gain more internal volume for guests. Sailboat-Cruising.com had a great piece on this subject, but it's behind a paywall now.
Beautiful raised pilothouse but it seems useless? The only way to utilize the wonderful 360 view is standing on the companion way ladder? Would be great if the chart table was raised into the pilothouse to also serve as a steering station?
In this case the pilot house is indeed not a pilot house as most of our yachts have where you can sit inside and navigate. This owner chose for more interior space down below because a pilot house does take up some space.
Gorgeous and powerful boat. If I were to buy her I’d want the warmth of a bit more wood below. But I know some people appreciate that all white aesthetic. Other than that the security of a proven go anywhere boat that could take me all the places I wish to go and then I could still easily sell her afterwards. Notice, I didn’t say I’d recoup what I paid...as a previous boat owner I know that never happens. I’m sure her new owners are happy.
Beautiful boat. The interior is different. Everyone is entitled to their own taste in what a yacht interior should be. Personally, I find that most yacht interiors look like 5 star hotels. That's just my opinion: it's neither right or wrong. As long as the owners are happy, that's all that matters . I would love to know which new boat the owner has bought. To sail around the world is a dream of mine. I'm very jealous (in a good way) of the adventures the owners have had in this yacht and the ones to come in the future.
For an expedition boat I'm surpised that the aluminium hull is painted, also for the deck I prefer treadmaster over teak. I wonder if the new yacht will have a deck saloon/nav station better cockpit protection and aft cabin / quarter cabin(s).
The yacht was built for the Carieb and Med and only after a few years the owner decided he wanted to go exploring. The new yacht is completely different in style, look and lay out. A true expedition yacht.
The owners lived and learned by their mistakes and here's the result .More money than sense ,build quality top notch style a mish mash.A radiator positioned to burn your legs !! Nice.
Lots of beautiful yachts being built. Opposite my yacht is a swan 54. Awesome below. The timber is like a mirror. Too nice to sail in the ocean with salt and wet and damp smelly people. Hehehe. I live on my 44 ft beneteau and there are magnificent boats but far too much timber . I like an easy life. Too much maintenance with timber. Other problem is timber gets hotter than fiberglass. But yes some of the boats i visit are magnificent.
Never having sailed before but interested and researching the last year..Why would anyone not like an enclosed pilothouse option? Deck saloon. Seems like it would make more sense in cold climates..
Hi. The yacht was initially not built to be sailing in cold climates, but was more a Med/Caribean kind of yacht. After a few years however, the owner wanted to explore more and started sailing in cold climates. If you have a look at our other yachts you'll find that 95% of them have a pilot house or deck salon.
@@KMYachtbuilders The problem with such a stark interior is that it will show every little blemish, stain and chip which will detract from the boat. If you look carefully in the video you can see little knocks and damage so some work to do. Aegle represents a much better compromise of style and modernity but Kite is hard to fault for her classic interior.
@@peterhaslam-brunt4154 Yes, it's true you will see more on a sleek and clean interior then on a classic one. But also keep in mind she has 150.000 miles under her keel, so some scratches and damages can be expected.
Yes as a long time sailor it’s a rather odd design but seems suited to a long range cruiser for 2 However the decks are dangerous with more toe snubbers and trip items than I have ever seen You want flush clean decks as much possible going forward in heavy wx at night I do not want to have to worry about what I might get tripped up by . This is based on my 60 years on the water
If I may ask : what is that rectangle panel on the stern ? Does the liferaft come out of there ? Or is it a swimplatform or emergency hatch or something ?
@@KMYachtbuilders Some others prefer to bring their money to the warft capable to build the perfect hull and not wasting it in boring maintenance. Great ships are created by great woodworks/great aluminium works, great sail making and great ropes. Paint is made to cover less great work.
@@peterebel7899 Please have a look at our other yachts at our website or other social media channels and you'll find that 90% of our yachts are unpainted and have a bare aluminium hull. If someone prefers a painted hull for esthetic reasons who are we to say 'no'?
@@KMYachtbuilders I do know! I had once the chance to visit your warft to get an impression of your great work. I'ld take every unpainted hull of your production used after decades even without being consulted by an expert. I will never understand the customers of the 10% in "stealth mode" (imitating a plastics boat color). Your warft is possibly the world's best when it comes to seaworthy yachts.
Zero ergonomics applied to the interior. From large scale layout for example that long smooth wall facing the galley to the small scale of the switch panel which is arranged in a meaningless grid. Not built for humans to operate optimally. I'm certain she's a very capable yacht but the interior is very naive.
This boat was not tidy in my view. I tried but could not find it neat or likable...the music was ghastly...made it worse ...a very untidy craft....sorry....the interior was to white, not nautical.
Да не, вроде как я понял она в экспедиции участвовала. Ну а так яхта конечно проста класс. Блин мне бы такую. Всё мечтаю о такой или о катамаране, но толька из морского алюминия. Взять бы детей, жену, Маму и поплыть бы в экспедицию. Жаль но это толька мечта. 😔

A SPECTACULAR MODERN CLASSIC! CONGRATULATIONS KM!
Beautiful boat,i was sailing in antártica, i wish i came back with this amazing boat !,
I love your boat building, cheers from Argentina
This boat is a work of Art. I love it. 👍👍👍
I'm sure there's worse music in the world, I've just never heard it .....
Incredible boat !
shity music indeed!
So mute it, all their videos have that euro funk note. Different strokes for different folks.
No kidding.

The go anywhere boat! Absolutely. A master naval archtiect at work!
😍awesome, I bet the owner had such a great time on this beautiful vessel.
Thank you for the nice comment.
That’s a real beauty!
Congratulations to the owner and the future buyer.
Dream boat. In and out.

Its a nice boat looks smaller though!! I would have liked some wood brushes in the interior so to break the white!!

Amazing boat! Congratulation!👍💪
Thank you!
I felt uneasy seeing her in the ice like that
Awesome yacht . So beautiful !
Thanks for the compliment!
Does anyone know where this beauty is today? 🤔😉

Thanks, I love your commitment to quality....any dealer network in the states?
Wonder which KM Yacht the owner replaced her with?
Beautiful
Beautiful yacht but it needs another double bunk cabin aft and another head.
Very nice..The exterior of the boat is amazing, but the interior is going to need some warming up with mahogany details..No problem..my especiality.
What the new owner wants to do with the interior is up to him/her. Some people actually like the modern style :-)

Nice looking boat, but that is a lot of boat for only two cabins and one head.

So nice and classic outside and si much...si cold like hospital inside...😪
Che forza Tranquillo. ..... wow
Beautiful 👌👌👌
EUR 895.000 ex VAT.
How much does it cost...approximately?
Euro 900k + vat, it seems
If I may ask : what is that rectangle panel on the stern ? Does the liferaft come out of there ? Or is it a swimplatform or emergency hatch or something ?
Hi. It's indeed the swimming platform hiding in there.
She's not for sailing. She's for looking at!
The interior is going to need a lot of work. Looks like they ran out of money and installed the mock-up?.
Paint on this incredible aluminium hull?
What a shame!
Some people prefer to have a painted hull instead of the bare aluminium.
@@KMYachtbuilders Some others prefer to bring their money to the warft capable to build the perfect hull and not wasting it in boring maintenance.
Great ships are created by great woodworks/great aluminium works, great sail making and great ropes. Paint is made to cover less great work.

Price?
It was 895K euro ex. VAT
Amazing sailboat. How much is it for?
Her asking price is EUR 895.000 ex VAT.
One million dollers is alot of money .......may be worth it....
the more I like the exterior, the less I like the interior and the music.
Beautiful boat, the music is well documented above...but if you want to buy or ask questions you must employ a psychic or have a crystal ball.
???? Whats going on bro? Alittle to much smoke?
Music is noisey
Please feel free to mute the music. What did you think of the yacht?
Delta 36 gostaríamos muito de notícias,ok obrigado
Sorry, can’t buy because of the dumb non sailing music.
Okej
Zero ergonomics applied to the interior. From large scale layout for example that long smooth wall facing the galley to the small scale of the switch panel which is arranged in a meaningless grid. Not built for humans to operate optimally. I'm certain she's a very capable yacht but the interior is very naive.
you could turn the music down by 50% and it would still be loud as hell.
Lol, all the idiots complaining about the music. Volume button people, its really not that hard!
Renamed Falcon Spirit
Yes, after she was sold she was renamed Falcon Spirit.
Pourquoi la musique pourrie?................
Great boat, shitty music!
This boat was not tidy in my view. I tried but could not find it neat or likable...the music was ghastly...made it worse ...a very untidy craft....sorry....the interior was to white, not nautical.
Your reply is not nautical either. Can’t understand Some of the comments here...this boat has been there and done that...
Great, a nice boat, I am sure it is capable....just not a favorite of mine.
Такой вид, как будто затонувшую подняли и восстановили 🙄👎
Да не, вроде как я понял она в экспедиции участвовала.
