I really like a few things about that cabin layout. The off center companionways and the side galley. It makes it easy for people doing things in one place to be out of the way of others coming and going about their own duties.
Funny, Chris, to see you interviewing this man. We have been following him for more than a few years now. He is a really great sailor, and an interesting person.
Even tho he has state of the arts electronics he admits that solar and wind keeps his batteries full. Even in Alaska. That German man is very smart and loved how he talks about all the safety. I would feel safe sailing with him.
I sold cruises for 25 yrs and found that even though the new were pretty and fancy, the real cruisers liked the classic smaller older ships until they were taken out of American waters. This is a terrific view into a classic full time boater. THANK YOU for sharing this lifestyle of living in a tiny home. Thanks to Christian for sharing his home with us - LOVED IT !!!
We sailed this same boat (same model) from Southern California to the South Pacific and back in '82-'83. The Force 50 is a tank, and can handle just about anything.
Germans are really good in English... hello this is the German Coast Guard, what seems to be your problem? We are sinking, we are sinking! Hmm, what are you sinking about?
Very cool video. Chris' easy going style, good communication skills, and intelligent approach to outfitting and sailing his boat are the perfect traits of a good captain. The kind that makes a voyage pleasant.
A great video and insight into the life onboard a 1970s yacht that oozes character. Thank you for sharing with us what you have. Stay safe out there on the water and good luck to you on your future adventures! 🙂
Force 50, Formosa 51, Hudson 50 (and a couple of other names). These boats were built in Taiwan and are for sale all over the place from $125,000 - $250,000. Not much less than a decent sized house in the suburbs. But, a whole lot more maintenance, and monthly expense. Don"t fool yourself. Boats are no "deal".
That's funny...I just subscribed to his channel a couple weeks ago. Knew he was heading to Alaska but on his channel he's still in Hawaii. Good to know he made it ok. Thanks for the video.
I love the look of the boat.. It does have a more rustic look to it.. I loved the tour of the boat.. I have never been sailing and would love to learn how someday.. I really want to tour the world.. Sailing Across oceans is on my bucket list
+499PUCK lots of Germans are. We have been brainwashed by Hollywoods after WW2 bad movies. Germans are trust worthy and will give you a bed or there last shirt. Plus they are clean. I love traveling to Germany. Would be cool to sail ( well motor) up the Rhein, is that even possible?
TodaysRealHealth, I just judge people as individuals. Christian knows how to get things done. His interactions with others shows his character as a human being. You can motor the Rhein but in some places you need a pilot.
That is such a cool boat! One of the things I look forward to most about traveling is that we will get to meet cool and interesting people like Christian!
Just come across this, many moons later, I must admit I was fooled from on deck into thinking this boat was her bigger sister, the William Garden designed Formosa 52' also a Taiwanese built boat with an identical top sides layout. Great old long keel heavy displacement blue water boat.
I to love a good story about a boats history and not to mention the size of the boat. One day I'm going to figure out how to find one of those for sale.
Great seeing this sailboat! Must admit that sailboats aren't my cup of tea however admire those that are passionate about sailing. Guess I love terra firma more!
Thank you for the tour. My parents would take me to live on our boat in the summers in Michigan. His boat is exactly what I have always wanted for myself. I don't think I could have clicked on this video link any harder! hahah anyways thanks.
Great Camera work chris. Excellent move having that light on your video camera for dark interior shots (would be nice if it was a warmer light though... Trivia: The Hudson Force 51 was used in the movie '50 First Dates'. Extremely Similar to the Formosa 51 which was used in the movie 'Captain Ron'.
I've been doing a lot of research lately as to sailboats and maintenance. My dream is to sail the world. I'm a compete newbie, never sailed before. I was curious to know, would I be able to safely circumnavigate in a 26-30ft sailboat? And if not what would be the recommended size? Thanks

He seems like a stand-up guy, nice of him to give us a tour of his boat.
Pretty cool dude, to let those people spend the night too👍
justin case = rocky rolletti = peter jordan
What a great boat you don’t see to many like that any more and a great life thanks for sharing
Funny, Chris, to see you interviewing this man. We have been following him for more than a few years now. He is a really great sailor, and an interesting person.
Great presentation Christian gave of Zero, which seems very spacious. A pilot house seems to make a big difference. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see a real sailor with a real sailboat
Even tho he has state of the arts electronics he admits that solar and wind keeps his batteries full. Even in Alaska. That German man is very smart and loved how he talks about all the safety. I would feel safe sailing with him.
TodaysRealHealth pROJECT u
TodaysRealHealth People who dont keep safety first and foremost aren't sailing long.
Fox News
He's got a mizzen sail? Hope he finds it!
BADA-BING!!!!!😁
That is a big boat to sail alone. Great job.
Life With THE ROCK He kept saying “we” too, as if there may be others in fact.
@@bigpoppa3020 he probably means his dog .. :p
@@bollarna "Christian is currently sailing the world with his girlfriend" 🤔🤔🤔
I love these kind of videos of regular people living the dream ! Very nice sailboat and thanks for sharing.

Now that was great...cool folks and nice boat...very cool
One of the best videos you have shown Chris..... Thanks for sharing Christian..
I really enjoyed this!
Christian is such an intelligent and well spoken guy, and that boat is fabulous.
Thanks for showing us around.
Happy Camping!
Great video Chris . Thanks to Christian for the narrated tour of his classic 40 years old " Old Lady " sail boat .
Its people like you that gives me inspiration
this guy and his boat are amazing! thank you for shooting the video!!
This was awesome. I really enjoyed this . I love it when People with good hearts meet people and they give them sanctuary that was so cool of him.
We sailed this same boat (same model) from Southern California to the South Pacific and back in '82-'83. The Force 50 is a tank, and can handle just about anything.
This man is a true adventurer and sailor.. Safe passage throughout your journey, form those of us who only dream about doing something like this..
This guy definitely has the most bad ass boat there is. And I like the way he explains things.
I have to agree Joe!
Not exactly a tiny boat
Yeah, he's very smart and well spoken it's enjoyable to listen to him.
Germans are really good in English... hello this is the German Coast Guard, what seems to be your problem? We are sinking, we are sinking! Hmm, what are you sinking about?
I loved that one......I always to this day say what are you sinking about? No one gets it...hahahha
this is by far the most beautiful boat I've ever seen.
Beautiful is the word. The boat has so much character! It reminds me of a cabin in the woods.
You are joking, right?
sailing ZERO
Jon DeHoff I'm kinda partial to my P-30 sloop...lol
I like the boat too. :-)
Wonderful way of life nice working blue water boat with all the toys and well equipped
Living on a boat is wonderful. Any day at sea is a great day !!!
WOW. Lots of room and two bathrooms! That's would be an awesome way to live and travel.
Looking forward to your future sailing adventures Chris.
What a wonderful boat, and life. It's always been my dream to live aboard a boat like this and sail the world. Great video.
Very cool video. Chris' easy going style, good communication skills, and intelligent approach to outfitting and sailing his boat are the perfect traits of a good captain. The kind that makes a voyage pleasant.
A friend had a 52' ketch he called his two bedroom two bath with an ocean view. The layout was a bit different, but what a sweet sailer.
I forgot to add that I'm loving the direction you and G are taking the channel! Great job to you both!
A great video and insight into the life onboard a 1970s yacht that oozes character.
Thank you for sharing with us what you have. Stay safe out there on the water and good luck to you on your future adventures! 🙂
..very nice...few months ago i have purchased Bruce Roberts Spray 57 ketch(1984)..very similar design...thumbs up..
Nice boat with a good setup solar panels, wind turbine, large windows multiple life boats, and high railings not to mention it's huge!
Shaggy Mason huge windows are frowned upon in boats, the power of a huge wave is immense.
Ronald Reed shatter/impact resistant?
Seems like a nice guy, and loads of fun and adventure.
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing your joy with us!
This guy is out here living my dream!
Real nice boat! Cant believe he sails that by himself, huge boat to go at it alone.
Actually the dog sails it, he's just there for the views
Sailing a ketch by yourself with no automation is no small feat.
I would put servo winches to all sails with an automatic sail management.
Great video. Love the way he explained how the boat works.
Thank you for showing us your boat!
I can tell he has the "blood of Leif Erikson" running thru this veins! Thank for the tour.

Thank you for that. That anchor is great
beautiful old sail boat
Wonderful tour! Thank you!
Cheers!
That's not tiny !! lots of space..loved the boat !
That's funny...I just subscribed to his channel a couple weeks ago. Knew he was heading to Alaska but on his channel he's still in Hawaii. Good to know he made it ok. Thanks for the video.
my favorite part is the otter in the water
Lovely Boat ~ Hope the Sun Shines on You and Her
Thank You . This Old Boy Enjoy Seeing Her I Will Subscribe ! Hope to see Her Sail ! :)
For your R/V friends, there is not more pure of a self-sufficient situation than sailing. Sailors are completely self sufficient and ecological.
Great looking vessel.
I love the look of the boat.. It does have a more rustic look to it..
I loved the tour of the boat.. I have never been sailing and would love to learn how someday..
I really want to tour the world.. Sailing Across oceans is on my bucket list
Really nice boat, Christian!
Awesome boat. My friend has a sail boat with the same style but is a regular sail boat, being allot smaller.
Christian is a bad ass I've been following him and zero for a while great interview
He is a really great guy!
Christian know his stuff. Smart, hard working, and fun loving.
+499PUCK lots of Germans are. We have been brainwashed by Hollywoods after WW2 bad movies. Germans are trust worthy and will give you a bed or there last shirt. Plus they are clean. I love traveling to Germany. Would be cool to sail ( well motor) up the Rhein, is that even possible?

does he have a yt channel?
That is such a cool boat! One of the things I look forward to most about traveling is that we will get to meet cool and interesting people like Christian!
Peeps. Ya gotta watch Captain Ron. Same type of boat was used for that! Tiny boat, I don't think so. Tanya Abei circumnavigated on a Contessa 26.
Beautiful Boat, Thank You for the Tour.
A beautiful 'Dream boat'. 💚☘🇮🇪 What make is that silent wind generater, please. I'm retiring soon and taking to the seas. 👊
Great video, I agree with Guy Mooglie this is one of best videos that you have shown. Many thanks
his wolfhunfde is super-cool! what s his/her name?
Great video Chris! It's nice to see your interviews or videos, about other interesting people! Beautiful sailboat! ⛵️
coolest sail boat out there
that is freaking badass, kudos to this guy
I always wondered how to even go about getting a boat similar to this. How much do you think it would cost?
Didn't realize how big the boat was from his videos.
now i will look for more of her sailing :)
Just come across this, many moons later, I must admit I was fooled from on deck into thinking this boat was her bigger sister, the William Garden designed Formosa 52' also a Taiwanese built boat with an identical top sides layout. Great old long keel heavy displacement blue water boat.
Excellent tour and an excellent boat...
Great tour, thanks...
It looks like a great boat to live on
wow this guy is living the dream!
I to love a good story about a boats history and not to mention the size of the boat. One day I'm going to figure out how to find one of those for sale.
One day.
Great seeing this sailboat! Must admit that sailboats aren't my cup of tea however admire those that are passionate about sailing. Guess I love terra firma more!
I ams urprised we are not seeing more wind power adapted to Rv life. I know they sell a kit, but have never seen one in use.
That's a massive boat for one person! I'd be happy living in a 26fter but wouldn't complain about living in this 😂
Fascinating stuff, Chris! Thank you for the interview and posting the video! :-)
great video thanks for sharing so so wonderful
I love your boat!
Nice tour of the boat...
Amazing! Not so tiny though...
Utterly fascinating!
I just googled the wind gen. It's a superwind
That was AWESOME
looks like a comfy boat. Where in AK were you docked. It looked familiar.
“If the shit hits the fan and we sink ....” - Laughing my ass off 😂👍. But seriously, your boat is like the Calypso more of a small ship - awesome.
I bet Christain is slim because he works hard for long hours, one tough guy!!!!!
Ray Sarchet j
been watching him for awhile.
Thank you for the tour. My parents would take me to live on our boat in the summers in Michigan. His boat is exactly what I have always wanted for myself. I don't think I could have clicked on this video link any harder! hahah anyways thanks.
Ross Duprey my boat is currently on the hill in alpena. I normally stay around fl tho.
Nice vid..Thanks for sharing man you guys have a nice life. Keep it up
Great Camera work chris. Excellent move having that light on your video camera for dark interior shots (would be nice if it was a warmer light though...
Trivia:
The Hudson Force 51 was used in the movie '50 First Dates'.
Extremely Similar to the Formosa 51 which was used in the movie 'Captain Ron'.
I love the boat. Beautiful
most perfect boat.
sounds like a nice life Chris congratulations !
9:13 maybe move the paper products away from the heater eh?
I would go with ya anytime.Nice boat. Looks like lots of fun, Do you need to carry,long rang radios,for weather reports or diving equipment?
Damn nice as boat looks cozy
Excellent Video Chris.. I learned a few things and thanks to Christian for the tour, Cheers =D ..."Video shared" ;)
I've been doing a lot of research lately as to sailboats and maintenance. My dream is to sail the world. I'm a compete newbie, never sailed before. I was curious to know, would I be able to safely circumnavigate in a 26-30ft sailboat? And if not what would be the recommended size? Thanks
Christian glad to see that you made it safely is that your dog if what name an type looks nice. where is your friend do not remember her name.
that sailboat is huge!
