Old school. Comfortable but not pretentious. Elegant in a way rarely found in modern yachts. 👍👍👍
This has to be the most spectacular retrofit I have even seen. It seamlessly brings the vessel into the modern era while maintaining the splendid look of the days of old. Ohhhh to have money!
Look at blue bird and Baruna.
One thing special about this beautiful older lady is that she will rock you to sleep like Grandma would do when you were a small child
You said it better than I could have. All that money spent on the teak and updates and they should have put in stabilizers. It's a shame.
It has stabilizers, but those aren't useful as zero-speed stabilizers (which aren't useful while moving). For zero-speed stabilizers to be added, they'd have to make some big holes in the ship somewhere. For only $1.2 mil for the boat, I'm sure you could add them yourself.
You'll get sick of that fast.
@@Jim.Thunda no I wouldn't I got used to it when I was in the USCG and falling asleep was easier than it is now the only time I didn't like it was when the seas were rough and you had to hang on she was commissioned in I think was 1917 she was the USCGC INGHAM and she's outside of Charleston SC at the maritime museum
I'm an old trucker, & some of the best sleep I've ever gotten was in my 92 Pete 379 with a Cat 3406. Back then we'd idle our trucks. Having that CAT purring with the AC maxed out in the sleeper, just heavenly sleep each & every time. I'm sure this ole girl would do the same.
I love, love, love these kind of yachts! They make you feel like you're back in the 1920s-1940s. Beautiful! Thank you for showing her to us.
What a beauty, the modern builders could learn a few lesson, quality and fit for purpose. Nice work David and team
I love not just the yachts but the stories of them you get here.
I used to live right across from Silvers boatyard. There was always something interesting going on and the yard was an excellent place to take photographs the amazing sunsets over the Gareloch.
The yard is still going although they no longer build luxury yachts.
This is a beautiful motor yacht. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you for this tour! What a beautiful lady she is. 💙
Location of the yard is pronounced Rose Neath, like the flower, the yard was at the entrance to the Gare Loch where the british Nuclear Fleet is now based. Another famous yard was next door, McGruer, they mainly built sailing yachts and Silvers built motor vessels. I remember them both being in production when I was a boy. My father had an elderly, even then, TSDY built at Dickies in Tarbert. She was 1930's and moored at Rhu across the water from Silvers. The Clyde had many yards building fabulous boats, all gone now. William Fife, Alfred Mylne, G L Watson were some of the premier designers of the Clyde. Fond memories of my chilhood. I am in my seventies now I still sail, sadly not in Scotland and on a mass produced GRP yacht. 🙃Wind is getting up.
A country cottage on water. Stunning
What a great looking Yacht. Thank you for the video tour.
Piece of art
Beautiful slice of history there! Thanks for sharing! Great episode! 👍👍
Given the roll of the yacht at anchor, either the fin stabilizers were not turned on, were ineffective, or were not zero speed stabilizers. Ok, that doesn't really matter.
Overall, it was a very nice classic gentleman's yacht. I was happy to see modern electronics and interior updates. Often owners of these classic yachts get hung up on maintaining systems and interiors that are no longer safe or functional.
It was interesting to see Gardner engines. I have most often seen them on Narrowboats on British canals.
Great tour, David. Great music selection too. It was very appropriate for the era of the boat. Thanks!
See my post above, I grew up with boats on the West Coast of Scotland. Back then there was still a large herring fleet using 50ish foot canoe stern wooden boats. They would not have considered anything other than Gardners. They were very much the engine of choice.
There are two types of stabilizers that I'm familiar with, those used while in motion and those for when you're at zero speed. This boat clearly has the former.
@@grondhero
There are now rotor stabilisers that fit like fins but work in both scenarios .. they can also folded against the hull to avoid snagging and reduce the width of the vessel when alongside or passing through a lock or into a narrow birth.
There's a whole series of vintage wooden boats festivals but the Canadian NW round BC is a particularly rich ground for historic vessels and restorations.
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 Thanks for the information. It's safe to say this boat doesn't have those. 😉
I'm speechless! Beautiful!!!
A super small motor yacht. And as so often, a passionate and ultimately human tour. I love your channel for these insights, and a bit of experience of what it's like to be onboard these vessels.
What a beautiful boat! The layout is really good. The upkeep would be a fair bit of work, but worth it.
Incredible! Thank you for sharing this story.

*David:* Her beam is 13' 6"
*Typist:* 30'6" (4.1m)
*Mathematics:* 4.1 meters/metres = 13 feet, 6 inches
the style of this craft is par excellence
Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated… not sure I’d want to tamper with the hull but I’m sure a space could be found to drop a gyro for more stability at anchor…
Gotta love this classic beauty :) Surprisingly practical as well.
Been a long time since I have seen a MY without a seakeeper . Watching this one bob all around makes a great case for getting some sort of stabilization system.
I was feeling queasy just watching it from my sofa!
What a beautiful retro boat ...love it 👍
Thank you 🙏
OMG I'm 12sec into the video. Right from the 1st look at the thumbnail & 12secs this boat is just absolutely stunning! If i ever ever were able to afford a yacht i always lean towards these styles. Its just something about the classiness of this era of yachting. Sign me up & I'll take 2 please. Oh man that owners state room is to die for. I love that beautiful butterfly hatch above the bed. I think butterfly hatches should be used more nowadays. I know there is better tech in material for hatches, but the classic butterfly hatches are a work of art.
Beautiful old lady!❤️👍
I love these classic yachts. So much more elegant than those yachts that look like irons.
I love it. Small and cute. TNX DAVID! ❤
Beautiful, a family friend once owned Silver Sonnet a sister ship
Beautifully understated.
I love these classic gentlemen's yachts, nothing is better than pedigree, and class thrown in with some spicy dicy history. It is the stuff James Bond books are full of. She looks the dog's ........ (you know what comes after this). Just perfect and I would be happy to be a deckhand on her just to be on board.
Hi David, i see Christina O is for sale. I hope you are invited to do a walk through of her...what an amazing video that would be!
I worked at Silver,s for 5 years bringinging in yachts for winter storage, when in, we side slipped them in the shed, I'm sure silver lass was a Ormadale class.
Interesting story. Lovely yatch. ⚓
All I can say is "Gorgeous!!"
Elegant and very charming.
One ofthe best music soundtracks in your videos.
Beautiful ❤
Hi David, You missed an occasion to dance the Charleston on the decks...
Cheers 🍻
Man, that is beautiful
Lovely Yacht David. I would be proud to own it too! Not quite suitable for my purposes, however, but a beautiful yacht no doubt. Great video!
Looks to me like the kind of boat to keep on Loch Ness for day trips. Wouldn't want to take it into a storm at sea.
She’d be fine cruising the west coast and the Hebrides. With careful handling she’d ride out most summer weather, and she’d never be much more than an hour or two from protected water, on that coast.
With modern weather forecasting, the chance of being caught out is greatly diminished. Would I cross an ocean in her (assuming she had the range)? With adequate deadlights to cover her deckhouse windows, I think I would. All her deck openings are small and secure. She is famously well constructed; Silvers are the Rolls-Royce of British motor yachts. I might want to have some stability testing done before setting off just to be sure she hasn’t gained too much top hamper over the years. A simple metacentric height determination compared to her designed metacentric height will probably be sufficient.
Teak wood ❤ love the feeling under foot on a sunny day...
Gads. A maintenance nightmare.
The 30'6" beam graphic on the screen when the narrator says 13'6" was a bit of a shock. Nice looking boat.
I love the interior. Really warm and not intimidating.
She's a looker 😍
She is a very pretty yacht, from a time where elegance and class, were really appreciated. I would say she does need a Seakeeper though. She looks like the kind of vessel that would roll on wet grass. 😂
Like you said mate, I would love to own this yacht but the up keep in the Australian sun would be murder.
Once owned a Silver 52 (1930) "Sea Lass"
She is gorgeous
Nice change from your regular Huge yachts. Pretty to look at but not to maintain or get a good nights rest, unless you are tied to the dock.
Very nice indeed! Difficult to judge in any movie, but it seems to me in terms of stability the hull is rolling more than modern yachts?
wow wow wow
Doesn’t look like it’s 30 feet wide. I went back and I believe he said 13ft 6in but it shows 30 ft 6 inches. It’s definitely 13 ft. I love this yacht it’s absolutely beautiful inside and out. The staterooms are amazing and look brand new
1.2M Euro for the yacht, 500K Euro outfitting myself, The Wife, our friends, and my crew in 1960's era clothing so we look the part.
Gatsby might have motored around on a yacht like this. The rest of us knuckledraggers will have to settle for canoes and row boats.
Nice boat
I thought You were going to show me a bathtub? nice boat
Wow
Nice
such a beautiful classy yacht.. one tech question...the movement of this yacht when anchored looks heavy...behind the modern yachts are not moving. maybe you can tell why?---- greets BM
stabilizers are only active when she's under power i'd bet. stabs are an extreme retrofit on a wooden classic to begin with, let alone finding space to fit a battery bank big enough to run a zero speed setup.
For a minute there, thought this was the yacht in the movie The Final Countdown.
And what stabilization system does it have?
Your research of the Dunkirk evacuation leaves a lot to be desired; the BEF arrived in France on September 4th 1939, before any Germans invaded; around 200k Brits and 150k French were evacuated from Dunkirk, not the 385k Brits you mentioned. The German Blietzgreig happened after the British arrival, forcing their retreat. As for the D-Day 'nucleus', doubtful, 156k allied forces were part of Operation Overlord of which 70k plus were American.
Beautiful boat. I'm sure she will get close to asking price
As soon as I scrounge up that last million... :)
Love these old classics, well done .but I could do without a 2 minute intro.
You could reinvent yourself as many times as you like with such a yacht
Was this filmed on a particularly windy day, or is this a normal amount of rocking for a boat this size?
Round bottomed displacement hulls of this era were designed with high LOA / BMAX ratios (i.e. narrow) for efficiency, but this does result in reduced stability (i.e. lots of roll). Silver Lass has a ratio in excess of 4.5 to 1 - modern hulls are typically in the 3 to 3.5 range, and most boats of this size one sees on channels like this are planing boats, whose hulls are much wider, flatter and continue their beam all the way aft, all contributing to less roll, whereas gentleman's yachts like Silver Lass taper at both ends, again, for efficiency at displacement speeds.
TLDR: Old boats roll like a b*st*rd.
@@RandomGuyRandomNumber How uncomfortable is motion?
@@clarksonad The most relevant factor in comfort is probably the Roll Period - how long it takes to complete a whole oscillation from side to side. Anything faster than a couple of seconds is usually too snappy for comfort. Round bilges are slower than v-hulls with hard chines, but the angles of lean reached are larger - pay your money and take your choice.
Another factor is Heave, or how fast the boat moves up and down, and that depends on Displacement and Waterplane Area. However, Ted Brewer formulated his "Comfort Ratio" as a slightly tongue in cheek formula based on LWL, LOA, BMax and Displacement that is easier to calculate from published design data.
TLDR: It's complicated.
I got seasick just watching the roll...
Beautiful boat though.
I'll tell you this much. If I ever won the lottery I wouldn't tell anybody but there would be signs .....
She’s an Ormidale, from Silver’s
love to know the price
She is so reminiscent of Blue Bird.
Lovely vessel could do with a seakeeper installed 👍
Gatsby come to life. How much dough ?
Nice yacht but I am sure it needs stabilizers
Think you've got that beam text wrong
love the traditional lines and materials. it looks like a proper yacht, not a Dubai nightclub designed by a coke addicted "architect"
Call the Z Man and his Trophy Wife. The are in the market for a third yacht.
THAT isn't how Dunkirk happened!
How much?!
I almost got seasick watching this video.
woops, just heard you say it had fins. they must not be active
The Lord created trees for this reason. Thx u Lord 🙏
It's a saloon, not a salon. Unless you're having your hair done. Get your figures correct on the beam too. Beautiful boat though
Beautiful but if mine it would get a sea keeper
Lovely yacht, but her beam isn't 30 feet. It looks about half that.
I think he said thirteen feet
That's because her beam is 13' 6" (4.1m).
I went back and see what you did. 😆 Should have done a 3:00 time stamp.
30' beam? 13' beam more likely.
Add this as a tender to your multi million mega yacht and you don’t look like a silly ostentatious guy anymore. At least when you launch and enjoy this…
It is a handsome boat but in every bit of footage, it's rolling quite a bit. Not sure I'd like to spend a lot of time on her.
Then stay on land, easy as that
@@stefanvanrensburg6096 I've spent a lifetime afloat in all sorts of weather and there's a difference between a good riding boat and one that's not. Why stay ashore when there are good riding vessels, but hey, you do you.
It rolls a lot...
Rolling about and getting seasick in calm waters.. No thanks
People that own boats like this probably spend less than a month onboard in a years time. They got too much money.
Rolls like a drunken pig in calm conditions.
Needs sea keeper stability.
The only story I want that yacht to tell, is the one where it struck a reef and went down with five oligarchs trapped in the cabin. Any oligarch, doesn't matter what nationality.
Anyone that knows anything about boat at all do not call motor cruisers Yachts. 👎👎👎👎👎
I'd get seasick 🤮
"Bathroom"? SMH
