Steady's Notes

Outstanding? Why?
This is a traditional rigged wood boat that will stir up the imagination of privateers and pirates. This is the kind of boat that brings out the kid (or Captain Kidd) in everyone who sees her and sails on her.

There are many photos showing the boat and its fun loving "pirate" crew, on Facebook. The ship has a page, called "TallShipRoyaliste" and from what I saw in the many photos, that crew knows how to have a good time, with obvious fun, pirate costumes, music, and period acting.

Location = Portland, Oregon on the Multnomah Channel

Steady's Disclaimer
I have not sailed on this boat, though I would like to do so. I have NO financial connection to the boat's owner or seller. I am simply sharing this notice about this boat because I find it interesting and "outstanding" for some reason (see my first or Original Post that started this thread).

Not to be confused with the British TS ("Training Ship") Royalist:

Old one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TS_Royalist_(1971)

Her replacement:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TS_Royalist_(2014)

Know both ships very well! Rafted up to the old one a few times in Weymouth harbour. Berthed across the breakwater from the new one this spring in Cowes, then passed her in the Baltic a couple of times -- she was in Kotka, Finland, for the Tall Ships Races.

Lovely vessels, but the old one was involved in a couple of incidents, IIRC -- cadets falling to their death fromt he rigging I think.

About the Tall Ship Royaliste (in Portland Oregon) i mentioned above:

There are a few videos related to her on YouTube. One shows a critical accident she had, when a sternwheel river boat backed into the Royaliste, causing some damage to the timber hull.

The other videos show the crew having fun as reenactors during the Portland Festival that includes historic ships and boats.

I received word from the crew that the two captains for the Royaliste have both passed away. The ship does need repair, as it is reported that some repairs done after the accident were not well done, and she was last sailed three years ago.

Here is a video that shows the Royaliste and crew having some fun.

Totally agree about the thread. Most excellent. I especially appreciate the insights and reflections that you share about various design aspects of the boats you feature. I follow the local (Great Lakes for me) Craigslists, as well as San Diego and a couple others, as I’m sure many do. Your posts help to inform my browsing as my experience is limited to my own humble boat, and my time working and sailing on it. You do a nice job of maintaining a neutral stance, neither glowing nor nitpicking, and realistic in terms of these are boats that your ‘average’ cruiser could buy. It seems to me used sailboats are a buyers’ market, but the really great deals don’t last, so you need to know what you want, what you need, and be ready to close the deal when it comes up, so the more info and insight, the better.

More than anything, reading your posts just feels like talking boats, and that’s something I like to do. Not reading magazine articles about the latest-greatest, or f’book posts or sailing channel videos that show people and boats as they wish to be perceived, but real thoughts about real boats that I or someone like me might actually buy.
Thanks.

This is my absolute favorite boat ever on YachtWorld. Everything from the Holman & Pye lines, the refit, the choices of color, woods, the interior layout. This vessel just kills me. Of course I could never afford it. But, I can keep dreaming.

Howdy Liquidice!
Thank you for adding your kind comments. I am always happy to talk boats, and I learn so much from others here who are sharing their experiences and views. It is nice to know one's views are shared, or appreciated, or read. I am glad you find this thread helpful or interesting. Staying neutral does require some effort at times.

I have not had much time in the last few months so have not been putting much content into CF lately, but I will add more in the coming months. Stay tuned!

Very nice looking boat.
Gives me the impression of a beautifully restored classic car.
I particularly like the interior styling, with white bulkheads reflecting the light in the interior. The lines of the boat (how she looks above water in profile) looks nice too, and give an impression of speed.

That's a beautiful boat.

Thanks for bringing it up in this thread. I will post some photos here to stimulate more interest in views of it, since it is benefiting a Sail Training organization.

Eldredge-McInnis 1962 MotorSailor 54' WOOD (Teak)

Asking Price = $49K
Location = San Francisco Bay Area (Emeryville)
WOOD (Teak) hull.

Steady's Notes:
I like this style boat, and think this one looks "handsome" in a traditional motor sailor way with "character" of design. I like what I see in the interior too.

The ad says this boat is currently a liveaboard, and that it may be possible to keep the liveaboard slip (Emeryville). For someone looking for a liveaboard yacht in the San Francisco Bay, this may be hard to match for cost, size, and appeal.
