It’s very boxy and square with sharp corners. Not very friendly to your hips in rough weather

That black would not last if this were my boat. I have enough experience with black in the sun to STRONGLY dislike it, particularily in warm to hot weather.
May be fashionable but not very practical.
Of course I am now old enough to be called reactionary in my opinions.

There are only two colours to paint a boat, white or black and only a fool would choose black

As much as I don't like the black look either, I think those are tinted windows so they should not transmit a lot of heat if the are UV filtered. I don't know how that affects night vision. Either way it's not for me, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this point. It would actually be pretty convenient if they in fact keep UV out, provide privacy, but look like normal windows from the inside looking out.

 

[C lectric]

It was not the windows I was referring to. I should have specified. The trim and top appear to be black.
Heavily tinted windows may be an advantage in hot weather, same as in cars.
At night though they would be a serious problem though if night travel ever is needed.

 

[backinblue]

The roof is white, it's just the trim that is dark, looks more gray than black.

The back door transom flush with open transomed back deck is a disaster waiting to happen. if you stopped that boat, or heaven forbid, tried to back it up in a moderately heavy sea, and you had the door open, you would have a million gallons of salt water flooding into the interior. It would a a huge pain just tying to clean the back deck with a hose. Other than that I think it is a cool boat.

A million gallons??:

Nat H. certainly was a respected, historical figure, but I completely disagree with this oft-quoted saying. Personally white is the last color I would ever paint my boat. Unless it was wood where you only want very light colors. Maybe that's actually the basis of his saying.

Interesting typical "Queenslander" style timber boat. 3" spotted gum hull timber! Gardener diesel too. One for the timber gracious classic older style enthusiasts.

I love it. Unpretentious, properly powered, lots of bunks up front for kids.

Aft shade structure is a little odd. Wonder how functional it would be. And I remain scared of wood.

Having spent numerous years starting from very young into my mid 20's [i.e., late 1950's, throughout 1960's into mid 1970's] working at first alongside dad on our [his - lol] wood boats; then years in NY and Maine boat yards as well as a year at a new [wood and fiberglass] boat builder in Maine; along with having spent many 1000's of hours during those decades aboard pleasure and/or work oriented wood boats - IMO:

Anyone who has a fair amount of capability to work on structures of any type, comprised of one or a combination of materials need not be scared of wood. With correct tools, patience, and Google How-To videos there is virtually no wood-boat project a person could not successfully tackle to reach victory!

That said, regarding wood boats: I feel need be taken before purchase to carefully decide if the potential work hours to care for wood are in line with one's own desire for potential eventual expenditure of efforts.

Having spent decades owning and caring for used wood and fiberglass boats: As long as both type boats that could be purchased were originally constructed to the highest degree of correct design, materials, buildout procedures and craftsmanship with ongoing ownership care... then either type of boat can be a joy to own, use and maintain. However - I will say - IMO... my-personal general rule of thump [taking into consideration my decades of diverse situational background with wood and fiberglass boats] - For ease of ownership fiberglass wins hands-down for reduced work efforts. And, for any type of material boat - a well covered slip wins hands-down too!!

Understand the tint is halve as it appears because you are looking from one side of the saloon to the other aka, 2 layer of the tinted film.

I will indicate, it helped on my N46 miami FL. in the summer.

I did not tint the pilot house windows.

Remember at night with the interior lights on, folks can see in so in the interest and concern for those walking your boat, wear a robe at least.

 

[Hippocampus]

On last boat had much back and forth with the builder. He wanted everything tinted. I did not. I just want UV blocking to as much as possible without decreasing visual spectrum.

Boat was primarily used in the tropics but we frequently travel at night. If you like to do landfalls during daytime and especially desire the sun behind you it’s not infrequent you will travel at night. Also timing tides or making longer hops. It’s easy to use fabric sunshades on the outside and blinds on the inside. Balancing safety against convenience overwhelming argues against any dark tints. I wouldn’t own that 38 for that reason alone. A decent hull ruined by some designer who never cruised a boat. Just sad.

 

[rslifkin]

Tinted windows are fine in the cabin I think, provided they're not too dark. But definitely no tint on windows used for visibility from the helm. My own boat has tinted windows in the salon, aft cabin, etc. But the helm windshields, side windows, etc. are all clear glass. I wouldn't hate putting a clear UV blocking tint on them to reduce heat in the summer though.

 

[Hippocampus]

UV block saves the finishes and fabrics. Also helps your eyes. Not even keen on tint in the salon. May want to peak out at night when at anchor to see something such as a boat coming at you.

 

[Mako]

I think that a clear film for blocking UV and with an anti-glare coating would be great for a pilot house.

Ooh, yeah, anti glare coating on the windshields would be wonderful. I've had plenty of days of fighting glare issues with mine, as they're angled back about 45 degrees.

I really don't like the dormitory sleeping.

Nice little weird vessel. No, it’s not a queen island berth yacht. There’s one of these hauled at Titusville Marina over here. I think it would realistically sell in the $50-75k range.

 

[Adopo]

Now this is a cool boat! Looks like a boat.

That’s an absolutely gorgeous boat!

But imagine the maintenance on a 77 ft all wood boat. It would take a full time crew of several people to stay on top of paint, rot, etc.

Bingo!!!

 

[Mako]

I wonder if the broker knows what he’s talking about. 550 gallons of fuel for a range of 500 nm on a 77ft displacement vessel?

And why is he so shy about posting the price? Is this a Bill Gates yacht???

Hey Mako,

I guess my calculator must work differently down here - 2200Litre tank, 42L per hour at 9 Kts gives a time of 52hours times 9 kts = 471nm.

Anyway thats the way I would calculate it so the broker wasn`t doing too badly according to my calc.

Unless its because you call it math and we call it maths

 

[Mako]

It’s not the math roughly done in my head, it’s the obviously wrong information about 2200 liters of fuel. Perhaps 22,000 liters is more accurate

Greetings,
I absolutely HATE these "Call for a price" ads. Click bait IMO.
