In this video, we step aboard a 62-foot classic wooden yacht, beautifully built in mahogany and teak, and now celebrating over 50 years on the water. The current owner has cared for her for 25 years and knows every detail inside and out.

This video is made as part of the sales process, giving you an honest and detailed look at a rare classic yacht now looking for her next owner. Are you interested in this classic wooden boat? Please read more here: https://skippern.yachts/yacht/sirius-of-art/ 📍 Featured on: @Sailing-Maja and @skippernyachts If you appreciate classic yachts, wooden boats, and true craftsmanship, this is a tour you don’t want to miss. A rare classic with soul, history, and timeless elegance. Built in 1977 at Cantieri Valdettaro in La Spezia, Italy, to the designs of the renowned British naval architect Lawrence Giles. Sirius of Art is a true one-off sloop-rigged sailing yacht measuring 18.8 m (61 ¾ ft) – carvel-planked with teak below the waterline, mahogany above, and a teak deck. With 36 tonnes displacement, 15 tonnes ballast, and a sail area of 275 m² (plus approx. 200 m² spinnaker/gennaker), she combines classic lines with impressive sailing performance and robustness for long ocean passages. Below deck, she exudes the warm luxury of a bygone era: rich teak and mahogany joinery, a cozy saloon with fireplace, a large dining area for 14–16 people, comfortable double cabins, three bathrooms with showers, a separate captain’s cabin, and a well-equipped galley. She offers berths for 6–12 overnight guests depending on the desired level of comfort – ideal for family cruises, friends, sailing holidays, or maritime courses and gatherings. Sirius of Art has circumnavigated the globe twice, served as a charter yacht in the Mediterranean, and arrived in Norway in 1997 when the current owner purchased her from a British earl. Since then, she has been based in Norway, lovingly maintained by an experienced wooden-boat enthusiast who ran Grimsenkilen Båtbyggeri. She has been used as a private yacht, sailing school, and venue for maritime courses – always treated with the respect and care such a gem deserves. Today she is in seaworthy and good condition, winterized but fully operational. A coastal holiday cruise along the Norwegian coast is planned for the summer of 2026 – clear proof that she is still living the life she was built for. Opportunities for the next owner – elevate her to new splendor: Upgrade navigation electronics (chartplotter, radar, AIS, VHF, etc.) to modern standards – all equipment is on board, but dated. Consider a new sail wardrobe (current sails are functional but aging). A thorough refresh of varnish, teak, and surfaces – a proper spring refit that will make her shine like new. Restore certain interior woodwork in authentic teak and mahogany to complete the original, exclusive atmosphere. This is not a major restoration – rather, loving care and thoughtful modernization that will make her even more personal and impressive. Sirius of Art is for those seeking something truly unique: the genuine wooden-boat enthusiast who values authentic craftsmanship, maritime traditions, and character above mass-produced perfection. Whether you enjoy working on wood and rigging yourself or have the resources to engage skilled professionals, the right investment will yield a yacht that tells stories – a living link to the golden age of yachting. The current owner, now 80 years old, wishes to pass this masterpiece on to the next generation. He knows the boat inside and out and is happy to assist the new owner with technical insight, stories, and practical advice to ensure a smooth transition. The yacht is located in Norway. Interested parties can view her in the summer of 2026. Delivery by agreement.

Two old friends sit down on a boat and reminisce about one of the craziest adventures of their lives. Back in 1995, we took the Norwegian boat M/S Smirnoff from Norway through the European waterways all the way to the Mediterranean, continued to Turkey, and then sailed back home — a full year of pure freedom. The Wild and True Story of M/S Smirnoff. It was a proper boys’ trip: low budget, lots of laughter, way too much alcohol, girls, and unforgettable moments along the way. From narrow canals to beautiful Mediterranean harbors, this was old-school adventure sailing at its best. We also show original photos from the trip that were published in the Norwegian yachting magazine Båtmagasinet. Many Norwegians still remember the articles!

Faded flag? Worn-out textiles?

Bringing an EPRIB on a plane can be difficult if you do not have the right documents to show at the security check. In this video we go through the documents that we brought with us when we had the EPIRB in the hand luggage on the airplane. In addition to what follows the products in the box, we had the following documents: Classification Flowchart - Litium Metal Batteries MED-B Tron 60AIS (European approval, product) MED-D (European approval, Production) PSI Tron 60AIS UN 38.3 Test Summary report Tron 60AIS Declaration of Conformity, Tron 60AIS Inventory of haz mat, Tron 60AIS (2 pages/Sheet) This was all printed out on paper, and put in the tray for inspection together with the EPIRB. The security had a look at the EPIRB, and then on all the documents. They did not check the documents, so my guess is that since I was so well prepared, I probably had everything in full order.

We look at the EPIRB Tron 60 AIS with the manual bracket. Why choose AIS on your EPIRB? What is AIS? Why the manual bracket and not the Float-free version of the EPIRB? When choosing an EPIRB there are some question you need to ask yourself to find the right product for you. In this video we look at some of them, so you know more before you are ordering. This particular EPIRB will be installed in the sailing vessel "Maja", a 1982 Nauticat 38. You can read more about our boat, travels and work here: https://sailing-maja.com/ An EPIRB is an essential piece of safety equipment that can be crucial if something goes wrong at sea. In an emergency, an EPIRB or PLB automatically or manually sends a distress signal via satellite, with an accurate position, directly to the rescue service. This provides rapid notification and precise location, even far out at sea or in areas without mobile coverage. For many boaters, an EPIRB is the last and most important lifeline if you have to abandon your vessel or find yourself in distress alone.
