$17,500 BLUEWATER SAILBOAT for sale! | EP 49

This week's find is a fantastic bluewater sailboat for sale in Wells, Maine -a 32'/9.75m Yawl made by Endeavor. Fastidiously maintained by the current owner (of the past 40 years), She really doesn't need anything to drop her in the water and go..... a new owner might want to add some radar or a few other bits and pieces but we were quite surprised and delighted at what we found.

Hi Capt Q and Randay! I love the historical background before each episode!

[@dr.mohamedel-raghy465]

These two gentlemen are so good in getting you hooked from start to finish, delightful Episode as always.

[@YachtHunters]

Thank you!

[@thomasalexander8499]

I have never owned a boat or been aboard a "real" sailboat. I watch each episode with a dream in my heart. Trouble is I'm 68 and not handy at all. I need to find a sailor friend! East coast South Florida! Somebody need a lump for the ride? I'm good for an early morning (3 a.m.) watch :)

[@christurner2340]

Welcome to the club of sailboat dreamers! My dad recently bought his first sailboat, and he’s 79. I’m on my third boat and still dreaming. Chase the dream!

[@joedennehy386]

Thomas, buy it. Its cheap as chips. You only live once

[@wombatdk]

My advice would be to go to a local marina and hang out with sailors there. They often are happy to have an extra hand on board, and willing to show you the ropes. Then, once you made some friends... go buy a small 20'-25' daysailor of your own. Smaller boats are certainly affordable and with a bit of hunting you should be able to find one in good shape for less than $5k, trailer and all. All lines led aft (which you can easily do even if you're not handy - and other sailors in a marina are usually more than willing to help). Perfect for someone wanting to day/weekend sail and be reasonably comfortable even with a buddy while doing so.

[@YachtHunters]

Wombat has some great advice here… most boat owners I know always love a pair of helping hands on board… especially during race season…

[@beverlyschiffler9649]

An interesting boat. A plus is the owner’s Maintenace and the price. It is easy to see the bias of simplicity which is sure easier to modify than a boat that is too complicated. Thanks Captain and Ran-Day.

[@matthewgwinn6076]

We owned one of these back in the 80's and took it to Bermuda 2 times. Both times we hit rough weather and big seas and she handled it as well as any 32' boat could! She sailed well too! What a deal at $17k. Someone needs to buy this boat! Thanks for that walk down memory lane. If my dad were still alive he'd have enjoyed this episode for sure!

[@YachtHunters]

Thanks for sharing!

[@spider0804]

Balanced rudder, fin keel, straight shaft to engine, and a nice small size. Looks like a good low maintenace, low cost boat to go on adventures.

[@YachtHunters]

Exactly!

[@Mike7O7O]

That is one of the best kept boats that I've ever seen. You don't haggle over a boat of this quality. It would be impolite to even mention money. Just write a cheque and put it in an envelope. So what if she needs a few toys. The money that you will save on remedial work and maintenance, will easily cover some second hand instruments. Thank you, gentlemen. Another gem.

[@wombatdk]

Agreed. I'd still want a survey, and the seized mast taken care of, but beyond that... seems like a very good deal, really.

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

No kidding. The engine is 20 years old but has obviously been meticulously maintained as has the rest of the boat. I suspect the owner will get offers over and above the asking price.

[@fredr6381]

Its your boat isn't it ? 😉

[@Mike7O7O]

@@CheekyMonkey1776 I hope he does get offers over.

[@teach1644]

Needs a complete survey. Soft deck is scary…. What else is hidden when your 200 miles off shore?

[@hidesertmusic]

I love to listen Tom you so easily display your extensive sailing vocabulary so easily and with such ease and familiarity. You use terms I have heard only in passing and it reminds me of when the English teacher would say “ use it in a sentence”. Thank you.

Fabulous, big fun, and informative again and again,,, wonderful. Thoroughly enjoying the production, the music, and the wide range of boats and prices you have explored. Many thanks to you both...

[@friarfox]

As a day sailor or weekend getaway it exudes perfection . This is a man's boat lacking a few niceties for the ladies but then they are bad luck on a boat. Old school cool. Love the yawl sail plan. " Give me a tall ship and a star to steer by". Thank you, Randay and Capt. Q

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Wow she is an amazing find..love seeing you both having a great day. Thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge. ⛵️⛵️⛵️😘

[@superior451]

The last time I caught up with a Capt. Q video afternoons were short and water was cold. What a delight to find you so happy after slipping into a the quarter birth and marveling at the pristine headliner. I have been fortunate to be crew on a similar vintage boat, sv whitehawk since 2018/19 admiring similarly well-maintained components. When an owner conducts themselves as a master when underway and otherwise a steward a boat has a chance to become more than the sum of its parts.

[@briandale8386]

My buddy has a 87 38 foot Irwin. He likes it. I seen a old Irwin 50 footer. It had windows up top like a oyster in the front room. It was in bad shape but you could see it was ahead of its time . Some guy from Annapolis came and got her. He will save her I’m sure

[@stewartmcnish4774]

You can see the owner was meticulous about looking after the boat, totally immaculate and a snip at the price. If I was nearer it would be mine. Great show from captain q and randy...

I've always thought Endeavor gives you a lot of bang for your buck, nicely laid out and perfect for intercostal cruising.

[@cleanhabitats]

I crewed on a boat up from Cabo to San Diego that had steps to masthead. We used to joke that the purpose of the steps was to make it easier to get to the halyards when they became tangled in the steps.

[@YachtHunters]

Maybe that was before the era of internal halyards?

[@cleanhabitats]

@@YachtHunters yes it was an old boat with a spruce mast. Still made for some good laughs now and again.

Such an awesome boat! It’s simple but it’s ready for a new owner to update or replace items what they would want! It would also allow the new owners to use the boat and make their improvements as they could and/ or wanted. It’s the safety, quality of build and how has it been maintained not that, hey it doesn’t have a radar system or an up to date radio, etc. Yes the new owners would need to get all the new updated Bling they need, just not the first afternoon! Awesome Boat and wish I could pull the trigger now!

[@YachtHunters]

totally agree... the owner took real delight in keeping her in top condition. thanks for the kind words

[@atombomb3422]

How do people dislike a video like this? Can't please um all I guess. Land lovers I expect

[@markrickel1632]

This is a really nice find. Would make a great entry to sailing “big boats” for someone new to sailing and wants something a bit forgiving, yet still able to get into shallow mooring areas. If I were In the market I would get a survey, and as long as it checked out would sail it the first year, then over the winter fix the mast step and deck. Because the owner maintained her so well and kept her simple. Those two big jobs won’t be competing with all the smaller ones usually needed. That engine was nice and clean.

[@YachtHunters]

Well said!!

[@brownnoise357]

Thank you so much for reviewing the gorgeous Endeavour 32 Captain Q. I literally teared up, as I had one vof these as my last Mast and Sails Boat, and shewas in the same sort of condition when .I got her, a shallow Draft Long keel Not Centre Board, Sloop . She was a 1978, and as tough as old boots, which saved my life when she was attacked by A Wrecking Gang dressed as NY Harbour Employees, in New York Harbour, after another member of the gang Hacked my GPS, forcing me to heave to, while attempting to sort out the problem. Turned out, the Charts had been deleted as well, so the "Employees asked where I was heading- anchorages on the Hudson - and them telling me to follow them there, they led me into a really vicious Tidal Rip Rapids, as I was keeping central between the 2 "NYH" Water Buggies leading me, both of them well to the sides of the Tidal Rip. Well the Boat slammed into the bottom several times, so hard, the stainless steel alchohol stove in the Cabin, was beaten into a mangled pulp, along with me at the wheel. There was a big wave upsurge at the end of the Rip, and with full throttle to the 22 hp almost new Yanmar, she climbed Out of the Rip, with me still alive in the Cockpit. As soon as the "NYH Employees " Saw me still alive in the Cockpit, they turned tail and fled the scene, followed by my curses. However the damage was done, both to me, and the poor Boat . My first reaction was to fight, so I headed to the pontoon where their boss was, we had stopped there on the way , and as I was shouting about what the hell they though they were doing, he switched off the lights and going the cabin, hid from view. Thoughts then turned to flight, as unlike them likely being armed, I was unarmed, so tried heading South to clear the area, but it felt like the keel had serious damage, and the steering was very difficult to manage, and after getting a possibly safe distance, totally exhausted and badly bruised, I passed Out, hopefully a safe distance from shore, hove to. Next I knew, the boat was on the rocks. But I was still alive, but everything I had, was lost with the boat. Frankly, I couldn't recommend a better Boat for anyone to trust their life to, and if the buyer avoids NY Harbour at night, or similar, they should be fine. It turned Out that Boats are being lost at that spot all the time, and thanks to having such a strong full length keeled Boat, I am very likely the first one to survive such an attack, which has likely been going on there for years . Most basic point I suppose, is Always have a fully set up and ready to go backup Navigation available, which can be a cheap Tablet with GPS and Charts, plus backup Paper Charts as well, and put the Tablet in a Faraday Cage Bag or metal container or both, for cheap insurance. I hope to get back Afloat in a boat Captain Q, but my days of masts and Sails are over, and I'm thinking a sub 40 ft twin diesel-powered economical Coastal Cruising semi displacement Cruiser like a Bayliner, but one without much wood to look after, despite loving the wood, as being disabled means reducing things like wood maintenance as much as possible from now on for me, so the more recent 3587 to 3988 type models, for Coastal Cruising, and with care, the Caribbean. By the way, a few Naval Architects bought those Endeavour 32's, and the modifications one of them had recommended, had already been done to mine, prior to getting it, such as replacing those plastic portholes with storm proof Stainless Steel ones. I probably need to save up for another 2cyears before being able to buy another boat. I literally lost everything with the Endeavour. But the great work done by you and others, is helping to keep the flame of enthusiasm and ambition to get Afloat again, burning brightly. Best wishes, and keep up the great work.
