1. Beautiful vessel.. I love what you did with it!! So clean an spacious!! I just found your channel an I've subscribed. Looking forward to the adventure… Fare winds and following sea's ✌🏼💗😊❣️

2. Outstanding! What is the white coating on the ceiling and walls? What an awesome build. SO much work!

3. LOVELY lady she is, only to have the funds to have something like her.

4. Are you flying a Union Jack on your ensign staff?
   Just a heads up if you are that it's illegal to fly the Union Jack if you're not a Royal Navy ship. You need a defaced Union Jack which has a white boarder around the edge.

5. Very nice thanks for sharing

6. What Beautiful work you did on her a Fast cruising sailboat to out run Storms so sweet

7. She's big and beautiful! Any issues finding mooring/docking/slippage?

8. Stunning job, Are you based in NZ, you sound like you have a South African accent ?

9. I thought she looked familiar, Creighton's, of course, Naturally! I sailed on her on a three week try out for the Whitbread in 1988, during which we ran into the worst storm in the Med in many many years and got stuck in Melilla for over a week, together with many large commercial vessels, which tells you how bad it was. I am very familiar with that galley, as I was cooking the day we hit the storm and everyone was too ill to eat the meal I had just completed 😉 My bunk was in the very peak, and as she came down off the waves running at 20 knots before the storm, the hull at the bow flexed so much it pushed me out of the bunk!
   The trip included getting arrested by the Morrocan Navy, getting all our wallets stolen elsewhere, and quite a lot of interesting sailing. I didn't get the gig, and later I was happy about that, as she broke her rigging and had to return for repairs on one leg, and lost a crew member who I knew by then in the Southern Ocean (recovered, but too late, he'd hit his head). Although she won her class, she was not much of a racer, but I bet makes a really good travelling home. I'm glad you saved her. Best wishes to you all, and the boat!

10. Thanks for sharing – plenty space and job well done

11. I'm late to the party. I agree with all of the comments. 🤯

12. The salon seems pretty small for a boat that big.

13. What I really like here is the use of standard hardware fittings. Anyone that has tried to source a door handle to match a 20 year old one made in France by a company that went out of business in 2003, would appreciate just going to the local hardware store to get a replacement. Also, the table is an excellent idea! I've been on a race boat that used a plastic picnic table which had to have the legs attached before every use, then was stowed legless afterwards.

14. What is an average speed of the yacht? 8 kts, 10? or is it higher due to its 80ft length?

15. For an 80 foot sailboat it's vry plain……..Would expect it to be more plush…..

16. No port lights or hatches? A little claustrophobic?

17. The best rebuilt refit of a yacht I have ever seen hats off to you… ❤ fair winds and following seas. Look forward to hearing from you.👍

18. nice boat

19. Great yacht

20. engine access is outstanding. galley is outstanding, two companion ways below, and a cutter rig. No nonsense sailing boat which probably has a 10 knot hull speed. Ok maybe 8 knots. And can sleep the whole family. Wow! I like what you have done. Boy would I like to get that bugger on a beam reach in some good wind. Wow!

21. Well done, enjoy It in all the waters

22. I am so very jelly!

23. Any details on the cost of purchase and refit?
