This 70' STEEL EXPEDITION SHIP Will Shock You [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

This ex-tugboat is crazy! I think, although this vessel doesn't have sails, that this boat is pretty neat and the condition of the yacht and interior is definitely shocking. It's a great, off-grid cruising platform that you can take anywhere. You'll just have to watch to video to see for yourself if you haven't already.

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. We started out with Somnium, an O'day 272, moved onto Freebie, an Endeavour 32, and now are focusing on sailboat tours and working full time as teachers while we save up for our next boat.

I am a big fan of the non foo-foo refit of this boat. Clean, uncluttered and zero useless luxury fluff-duffs

[CPcamaro]

As much as I love sailboats, I'm old now and honest enough to know that if I ever had the opportunity to live on the water and cruise, it would need to be on a trawler of some kind, so I love that you include boats like this in your tours. This one probably wouldn't be my first choice, but it's very cool.

That’s an amazing boat, I can’t imagine the time and money spent to get it that clean… those tugs don’t live easy lives, so to “restore” one to that level is no easy feat. I would imagine it would needs lots of paint, and often to stay that way. Truly a great boat and tour !

[bostonpaulmakes]

That was a pristine refit and what looks like a brand new house on that hull. The workboat vibe is definitely something to be balanced against luxury for the user, but this is one of the cleanest conversions I've ever seen. I'd maybe want a rudder angle indicator right next to the jog stick, but as noted elsewhere, the days of tugboats having a wheel to steer have long passed.
If I didn't already spend 280 days a year on a workboat I'd scoop that thing up. It can be tweaked to be whatever the owner wants it to be

She is a doll for a 70 year old girl. Well taken care of. Simple and practical plus that big kitty for power whoever gets this boat will be happy.

Jordan, that hydronic rudder bar is very common on a lot of conventional ship docking harbor tugs
Especially single screw boats where quick rudder direction change is essential
In the old days of cable steering (like I grew up with)
You could spin the wheel fast with help from prop thrust
But with hydraulic steering that isn't possible
Thus the quick direction change ruder bar
Just like you find on many sail boats except hydraulic driven not a direct tiller

[mr.vancouver]

I personally love this boat it's a perfect world touring boat without all the bells and whistles that are for luxury lovers this suits me just fine

[carldevries]

Beautiful boat! Great refit. No bells and whistles, but great liveaboard. Easy to keep clean, and very rugged. Would probably make a great coastal cruiser.

[robertmulligan]

The finish while clean is a little mobile home looking with the white panels and wood trim, the berths feel claustrophobic. Love the rest

[stephensmalldridge]

Beautiful boat
I'm glad you see the beauty I was explaining to you a couple of years ago
It's about boats
Not just sail boats
When you limit yourself to one thing
You miss SO MUCH

[thommeyer]

Thanks Jordan…what a remarkable refit on a classic tug.

[allgonquin]

Thanks for the tour, good deviation from typical. As others note, the interior has all the warmth of a doctor's exam room, combined with a touch of mobile home and a crew boat out of Cameron, Louisiana.... But kudos to the owner for the resto, saving this one from the scrapper. I'm surprised at the lack of ability to see aft from the wheelhouse, gonna be hard to back this one into a berth. Maybe there's a camera? Anyway, don't mean to be down on this boat. She's sweet and I appreciate the huge amount of work done!

[dreadnoughtb]

Wow impressive. That's got to be thousands in just paint and flooring covering. Big as a house for sure. Thanks for the video 👍

[dirttdude]

back when i did repowers on motor yachts, the engine room was almost always a huge mess. i found my nitch customizing and resto-moding engine rooms, i used a lot of stainless, white algrip, did a super tidy job with the cable routing and battery switches. fuel lines, diesel and gas, raw water, fresh water, grey water and hydraulic fluid all color coded, all braided stainless steel engine hoses with the color coded connector on each end and all routed meticulously. installing the engines and gensets was the easy quick part that i did last.

[janmann]

I like the detour from the sailboats, love the sailboats, but it's nice to switch it up every once in a while. Keep it up!

[fukkyoutube]

every time you say "there's so much space for activities"
all i can think of is the movie step brothers when they made the bunk beds 🤣

[rustysteel]

Ignore the critics, Jordan! Thanks for touring all manner of boats. 😉👍

[georgemcadams]

Thanks for showing this. Its a beauty for sure. Thanks for all you guys share

[John-ytzr]

Nice tug and refit. My dad was a tug captain for the corps of engineers for 44 years and this tug reminds me of one of his earlier tugs the nightingale. His vessel was that clean always, including the engine room. He just didn’t like people using the head as it had to be pumped out.

[tomwilliams]

Definitely a clean boat. I think it's great that you're showing power boats as well as sail boats. They're all beautiful in their own way.
How's the baby? Hope all is well. Thanks for the review 🤝🤝👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
