$150,000 Sailboat - Ep 203 - Lady K Sailing

[@barbroberts4562]

We found/bought our 1993 gozzard 31, Grace Note, in the pnw five years ago. Never heard of gozzard before, but fell in love with our boat. 3 years ago we moved aboard full time and next week we will be in Ensenada. The gozzard 31 feels as spacious as any other 37-40 foot boat. It is small enough so hubby and I can each easily single hand sail. Great boat!

[@jmsask]

I still say you struck gold coming up with this series 👏🍻

[@LifeProducersofNewJerseyLLC]

Great video. I love plastic, give me fiberglass over wood any day. Easier to clean and maintain, and usually better to access parts of the boat, then a full wood interior.

[@niko36]

That Swan is to die for…

[@Sick8338]

Every time I watch one of your videos I find myself with a new favorite vessel. Thank you for sharing your passion. Your enthusiasm is contagious!

[@mikeh720]

We're nuzzling into Powerball/MegaMillions territory now! Another great entry to the series Tim, thanks for taking the time to do the research you do.

[@johnferrara9667]

Or sell your small home and live aboard!

[@PointPelee]

We have owned Odyssey the 31 pictured in this video, 10years of wonderful cruising for 2 from Canada to Guatemala. Hope to return next spring to sell her.

[@jasonmcintosh2632]

The Gozzard looks awesome. Glad to see there are still newer boats like that. The Swan was also superb. I have to believe someone's goring to be trilled to get that. Last spring I bought a Nauticat 44. I know you did an episode on them, but I'm not sure if you've ever been in one. I'd recommend that you try to get on one if you get a chance. It's really about comfort while at sea rather than comfort at a marina. The pilot house eliminates "the cave" feel of sailboats and the models with the sliding side doors let a lot of air through that pilot house. It's awesome to have the "outdoor feel" while still being inside. The downside is that it sails like a "pig". BUT the older ones have big low RPM motors that will go 20,000 hours before an overhaul is required, and they're good for a few overhauls. While the 40' Beneteau's will easily outsail me, I see them slamming into the waves while I'm barely feeling them. I swear that after being on the Nauticat with that pilot house, I can't stand the notion of having a sailboat where you're either outside or in "the cave".

[@kevio6868]

awesome comment! I'm not a sailor but intend to be one day. I absolutely agree with your view on having the pilot house vs the grotto setup

[@billhanna8838]

Man those swans sail like a freight train in a blow to windward , Just love it .

[@jcoghill2]

From $140,000 on up is where you get enough boat to do some serious sailing. Now I know what I need to aim for.

[@simoncrouch9773]

Love the Gozzards Tim. I toured the production facilities once, and have known a couple. Good boats. Keep up the good work.

[@Turaelin]

FINALLY!!!! We just bought a Gozzard 44 MK1 A on May 1st '22!! I am so happy to see you reviewing the Gozzard line of Yachts!!!

[@LJ-jq8og]

Hi: Just wondering if you have heard anything from or about Wes (Salted hippie). I just noticed Wes has not been active for quite awhile. Have you heard from him ? I hope he is OK ?

[@mikefetterman6782]

I have been in love with Gozzard 31s, 36 and 37s. Tamari in San Diego is a dream for me this month.

[@jackwalby6257]

Got to say a Gozzard is so much better of a boat than an island packet. I brokered a Swan 46mk1 about 4 years ago and let's face it's a Bentley or Aston Martin that floats. I sailed to Chicago Mac's on the boat and one was a gear buster upwind. My wife commented that the boat didn't pound. My son heard the comment and said "the waves see it's a Swan and get out of the way". I've brokered Swans, Baltic, Wauquiez, and Grand Soleil (think Italian Swan). But people come up always say what great boats Swan are and they would be correct.

[@3rdWest]

Gozzard has always seeemed like an underdog and I think the look of a Gozzard is very British. Great video. Wish I had this kind of money to throw around...

[@MrSimonious]

That 31ft Gozzard has a ~40ft mooring/ lifting fee with that LOA. Pay for 40…but live in 30.. next

[@ianallan2337]

Years ago I was in the business. During a visit to my boatyard, Pat Sturgeon told me of a client that had a CS 36 on the market for some time. The client had called Pat and said that he wanted to have the lowest-priced CS 36 currently on the market. Pat thought of buying the boat for himself because it looked pretty nice but he had the strength to call in a surveyor because he knew he was wearing the "Rose Coloured Glasses." I told that story to many, many customers.

[@todddunn945]

There is a nice 40ish Gozzard locally. They are very nice boats - much nicer than an Island Packet. That Swan is also a nice boat, but you expect that because it is "A Swan". Nice to see two quality boats.

[@mememe5231]

Informative as always! Does anyone else try to full screen the “Yachtworld” sections of the videos? 😅

[@LadyKSailing]

Hahahah I thought someone might lol

[@jeffsimon2347]

Re: the Gozzard: The interior is unique! 31' you say?! Like the idea of opening up the "V" for living space! Woodwork is immaculate.... interior is truly designed down to the detail... // All the boats in this episode are nice - the Swan in particular.... // BTW Tim I am just wondering are you going to showcase any Pacific Seacraft 40's?

[@august3777]

Great video, and I really love this series. Can’t wait until you get to the $30 million sailboat. 😂

[@niinjoosum]

Was reading about boats and came across the New York 36 and thought of you. Don't know if it is a keeper but maybe you may like it.

[@miroslawmitera8296]

How about a video about the Catalina 400…..asking for a friend

[@Tetsaraku]

Yup, that Swan will still cross oceans long after I'm gone (I'm 50). Those hulls are eternal...

[@jkarra2334]

Spend my youth years on island in our old summer cottage near old swan factory and as kid saw almost weekly basis when they test sailed every single swan ....took me 35 years to finally get first own swan and now over 20 years later haven't found any reason to switch or buy newer boat...

[@robertryan627]

Thank you! ran across Gozzard on a KZbin and it seemed to be a fantastic boat but I’ve never seen them mentioned anywhere. You should do a deeper dive into their history sometime.

[@willweaver5024]

I saw 3 Gozzards last week in Rock Hall Maryland. I didn't get inside, but they are beautiful. I think at least one was a 40, certainly 36 ft. These were all fitted for cruising. We also saw lots of boats starting to head South. Jerry cans lashed to deck are a dead give away!

[@LadyKSailing]

Yep! A few are on the Lady K discord and chatting. Running down the Chessy right now they are

[@willweaver5024]

@@LadyKSailing I just looked at the specs for the 36. It lists the Capsize Screening number as 1.96, pretty high. I did read about how the number is important for racing. How does it work and why isn't it as important for cruising? It has to be under 2 for racing. And do you look at it?

[@aaronp1434]

You’ve finally nailed my bucket boat, although it’s not in my budget! IMO the Gozzard eclipses the Bayfield in everything, (especially performance) other than economic cost. I would love to come across that big MacGregor you say is hiding down your way!

[@LadyKSailing]

I have his # :)

[@aaronp1434]

@@LadyKSailing I wouldn’t bother unless I had a spot to keep one that size, but I am absolutely curious about them, they’re almost like a unicorn

[@fatherwilliam7256]

I can feel my checkbook getting warm.

[@Grand-paws]

Very grateful for this one

[@TheSchoolCircle0311]

I cant even deal with your intro. Thicker than a bowl of grandmas oatmeal. DEAD. another great episode

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

Right in my budget. Was waiting on this

[@mountainmandale1587]

Brother, I'll toss you a thumbs up, but I can't even watch the video. It's just not going to happen, and I don't want to see how the rich people live. I stay on my little O'Day 28.🇺🇲

[@johnferrara9667]

Plenty of non wealthy people often sell their modest homes to live aboard. 150k is quite manageable for a couple selling a small home especially in today's market

[@mvakleko]

I would say Catalina 42 Mk ii would be my ultimate choice at this price range. You can get like a 2003-2006 for that range which should still be in good condition.

[@LadyKSailing]

I think me too!

[@Inamorata.367]

Really have enjoyed this very informative sidebar on sailboats but when are you going to start cruising again?

[@LadyKSailing]

Lots of life stuff to do first :)

[@MrSimonious]

‘Snapped some pictures with a potato” ….ROTFLMAO.

[@charlespayne1061]

Gizzard reminds me of a Bombay Express. But the Gizzard looks to be the better boat.WHO SAID NO TO ISLAND PACK!!!!!!! KEEL HALL THE SCALLYWAG!!!!!!

You are killing me. 😁❤️😎

[@jeffhidalgo8457]

Good one Tim!

[@thomastaylor6991]

Bayfields are available for a lot less.

[@paulwyand6204]

That Gozzard is a huge step above the Island Packet inqualiry and sailability. But seems quite a bit over priced. I could not see paying much more than a hundred grand.

[@sailingyoumeandjosapea6770]

What type of keel has the Swan got ?

[@xmanprime3328]

I ❤️ ⛵️

[@partick49]

If your budget is $150,000 would you be looking in the $175,000 listings? just wondering.

[@JohnSmith-cd8ch]

A bow thruster on a 31 ft. sailboat is gonna be like towing a bucket as far as performance. But if his target competitor is Island Packet, who cares about performance?

[@cilldublin07]

nearly had me had at swan 46 but lost me at mk1.

[@eduardgindin3763]

I wouldn't hesitate to put Cabo Rico right next to Gozzard...

I owned a Jeanneau 45 two boats back and can attest it’s a great fast nimble performer.
