Join us on the self-guided;) Tour of this 1963 FAIRMILES 82' Classic Affordable Liveaboard Superyacht. This Lady has been around the world and it's definitely a chance to own a piece of history. Fair warning, It is a work in progress, and the definition of "affordable" is very different for everyone. An interesting project for someone with imagination, talent, and financial means:-) This yacht is one of a kind, so it makes it even more special. We really enjoyed exploring and dreaming of what kind of glamorous second life she could have. #ClassicMotorYacht

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.

Now that is what I call a LIVE aboard yacht!
-
What I would really love to see is this boat refurbished and smothered in love. I can envision it, but a follow-up tour would be so cool.
-
WOW!! If I had the financial wherewithal to purchase, rehab, and maintain this yacht, I would do so in a heartbeat. What an awesome live-aboard/world cruiser this would make!! 5,000 NM mile range -- oh, yeah!! This is one of the top yachts I've seen on your channel. Thank you for bringing this one to us!
-
Wow, what a stunning classic yacht ! I love it.
-
This is a YACHT. A beautiful ocean cruising yacht. Go anywhere yacht. Love it. Gorgeous.
-
These reviews of older yachts are interesting, esp. to see lessons learned and innovations brought in.
-
These classic ships are more unique and fantastic than any new ones. You would sail this with pride.
-
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.
-
A true gem! The "junk drawer" shot at 11:38 just made this beauty so much more real and with old time personality. What a great way to retire!
-
Love these older steel trawlers and yachts. Keep it up guys.
-
This is very nostalgic!! If you have the time and money and the inclination to restore this vessel, I think she could really be amazing. I’m not sure the style would be mine but a vessel like this needs preservation and in the hands of the right person they could make magic!! Thanks for showing her! Maybe you could revisit when and if she’s fully restored!!
-
The term mostly used for round stern is "canoe" shape. The exit port in the stern is for a passarell used in Mediterranean mooring. Great yacht and great video like always.
-
A piece of history it is. Back in the 70's ( well I don't remember the 60's) in the Mediterranean sea area this is what graced many harbors. My favorite design to this date. Thanks for explaining the spin-window. Always wondered why they are shaped like that. If I had my choice i would rather own this than a condo in Florida
-
What a gorgeous ole yacht and I would hope nobody would ever think of taking out those original navigational equipment. She’s a classic, keep it real.
-
This beauty is only a year younger than myself. If I had the wherewithal, I'd retire on this boat and spend some time fixing things, then cruise to where ever I wanted to. A true classic. Thanks guys for the tour.
-
Boy, that takes me back. I was 11 when this one was christened, and got my master violin the year after. This goes in with memories of train travel at the time, and Burma Shave signs off of the main highways. Thanks for waking up a few memories while touring an amazing yacht!
-
#3. I would never change a thing in that cockpit. It's already a Museum piece. Perfect for any time.
-
Omg 1963... i am in love. These older boats, classic lines, classic radar and ancillary gear is a true step back in time. Ysll did an awesome job..that pilot house is what a pilot house should be, big, comfy, well laid out. Love these old ladies of the sea. It would eat up a budget, but a labor of ❤️. I could see visiting rivers and doing inside passages of south america.. some technology refits Or. Haul her out, nice ground berth and make her a weekend getaway cabin.
