I had a dufour 35. The advantages of a molded in headliner simply cannot be overstated. It gives you an air gap between you and the hull. No more wet bed from lying against the hull. If it's a full liner then no worries about moisture in lockers. I wish all boats did this. No droopy headliner. EVER.

[@YachtHunters]

thats such a great point Grant thanks for pointing it out the boat did feel verry dry and clean

[@iverburl]

I also noticed insulation in some of the stage spaces below waterline. (Engine room and 16:44)

[@jeffwatson4908]

Finally a Great Lakes boat! From personal experience I can certainly recommend the Aloha 28 and 32. A popular big lake boat. No real faults except possibly the need to shorten the main earlier than some but still comfortable and not a slouch. Time to find some others like the Mirage 35 or Bayfield 32 😊

I have an Aloha 32 and can attest that they will indeed sail great even in larger seas. Mine is in a layout with to quarter births and the salon forward with a workshop / sail locker area instead of the V birth. The head is larger on mine and midship.

@@YachtHunters I wish. I live in Wisconsin now. The closest body of water more than 3 feet deep is the Mississippi river, which is about 3 miles west of me. Having said that. When I moved here from Cleveland, I was so thankful to no longer own any boat. The two best days in a boaters life and all.... It put any reasonably costly boat not worth the effort. But I've been here for a while now. And I miss the lifestyle. I miss sailing. I miss hanging out on the docks talking to people. Having some beers. I'm moving in 4 years, and I am planning on a liveaboard sailboat in Floriduh. I really just need to convince my girlfriend to accept the lifestyle. We've done charters and she seemed to like it.

Every week, I look forward to my class on boat design. I love this one! I know I’ve said this about other episodes, but the condition, layout, features and (for lack of ax better word) “pedigree” of an Ellis design, when compared to a price point that even a Scotsman would like, makes this one of the best value propositions afloat! I noticed a lot of cleaning opportunities but to be fair noted a lot that appeared sufficiently tended-to for the moment. Assuming the electronics package is serviceable and the sails and rigging are adequate (which appears to be the case from what we see in the video), I’d say the only thing I’d need to bring to the party is a small check and some cleaning supplies.

Heh Cap & Randay,thought about a offshoot question to ask viewers,Which of the sub 32 footers do we the viewers and you guys think has the best interior layout.My vote would be for the Pacific Seacraft Orion 27,shifting the nav desk & galley sink on an angle seemed to have an amazing effect on the functional as well as the aesthetic appeal of the cabin.I'd prefer the booth style settee for opposite side of Orion's interior instead of long bench style settee.One other thing for me is to find imaginative ways to create a shower stall,for example rethinking fore cabin layout or claiming the pass thru temporarily as seen in this video,brilliant idea!As a master carpenter and Architect I love when designing and building to challenge status quo which leads me to wonder if we've seen the ''best'' interior cabin design and or utilization of space yet.What do you guys think?Keep up the great work!

[@YachtHunters]

Thats a great idea We will hoist it up to the spreader and see who salutes

[@tjsailing5232]

By the best interior of a sub 32 footer for room and space would have to the Pearson 31-2

[@jackrabbit5047]

That's a good price for an Encore. We used to have an A32 based on the original design (similar to the Nonsuch 30) with the "workshop" up forward, and hated it - terrible quarter berth set up (not great to get in and out of for us older folk), very narrow saloon seats jammed up in the forepeak that you were always falling out of, and almost no storage. The one good thing is that it had a huge, very comfortable head, and the galley was nicer than the Encore. Guess something has to give one way or another in only 32 feet. Boat was also very tender and one would do well to reef early when it got gusty.

[@YachtHunters]

i frankly didn't see the need for awork shop on a 32 'boat that was probably rarely more than a few miles off shore for the most part The family needs al lthe berths they can get for the kids and their friends

@@YachtHunters I have the version Jack Rabbit had. I actually quite like it. The workshop is really great for extra storage for extra inventory, the two huge hanging lockers, and I like to put my trash up there along with my tools. Yes they love to be reefed but that's fine by me. She's pretty fast in light wind due to being a lightweight so I like the trade off here in Pacific NW where our summers are light on wind.

[@todddunn945]

That old Hood Line Drive furler is a good furling system. I am guessing that on that size boat it is a 710LD. As I said it is a good FURLING system. It is easy to use and you can't get a drum jam since there is no drum. You do have to maintain tension on both ends of the furling line when you roll the sail up particularly if there is any load on the sail. The down side of those systems is that it is a furling unit and NOT a reefing system. The reason is that the only thing keeping the foil from turning with a reefed jib is the friction of a half turn of line. A gust can overcome that friction and BAM, the jib unrolls. I know that because my Allied 36 had one of those furlers when I bought it and more than once a gust unrolled my reefed genoa. Having your 150% genoa that you had significant rolled up suddenly unfurl completely in a gust can make for an "exciting" bit of sailing.

[@YachtHunters]

Thank you I did presume that they were targeted for smaller boats where if they did get out of control the sails could be man handled and probably provided a good rice point . but so many devices need to be maintained and used appropriately Not every owner stays on top of some details such as wear on the endless line which may chafe and reduce its grip for example

[@Johnsouthshore]

I had one & would reef with it by tying off the line on a cleat. It wasn't going anywhere

[@todddunn945]

@@Johnsouthshore John, the issue with the continuous line furlers is that the line loop only had about 6-8" of contact with the furling mechanism. If the load on the sail exceeded the friction between the line and that few inched of contact the sail would unfurl without the line moving. Cleating the line off on a cleat didn't change that problem. I think you are thinking of a Hood single line furler which is a traditional drum type furler where cleating the line will not allow the sail to unwind sine the secured line won't let the drum turn and roll more line onto the drum. The continuous line furlers had a line that was end to end spliced into a loop. You could reduce the unfurling issue by cleating BOTH sides of the line with a lot of tension on both ends of the line, but a big enough gust could still unroll a reefed sail without moving the lines. You might be able to reef a small sail, but not a very large one.

[@Johnsouthshore]

@@todddunn945 no, I'm thinking of and am very familiar with a Hood LD furler..I had one on my boat for 20 years. It never let loose as you say. The line was secure.

Hey you guys....that was a Pacific Seacraft Orion 27 you saw (in Maine), not an Island Packet 27. In fact, I know the guy who bought it. I hope you have a real Island Packet on your review list. As always, appreciate your tours and the depth you go with discussions of designers. Dean

[@YachtHunters]

We had just shot an island packet the day before and it was on her brain and her brains are a little fried at this point in the season and editing picked up the Pacific Seacraft that was shot up in the mountains with the bison farm

Can you speak about the angle of the driveshaft? I have long thought the shaft should be horizontal to have a propeller best presentation to the water going frontward or backward. Am I correct?

[@YachtHunters]

Cheers and thank you!

[@YachtHunters]

im a 51 y/o mechanic. i was hoping to sell my house one day soon and buy/live-on a boat appx. 30 foot but i have no experience. I also want to buy an RV and live on that part time as well. any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks Cap'n Q!

Best thing is to start small and learn on something reasonably manageable. Could be a Rhodes 19 or a Sunfish… or crew on someone else’s boat… go after your dream, it’s not that difficult and we see a lot of boats that cost less than a used car that will take you to wherever you want to go

@@YachtHunters wow thank you, my brother! what makes your channel so excellent is you take the time to respond to viewers!! ive been thinking a 22 Catalina might be a good starter because it can be trailered and i can do repairs at my house... (which i plan to sell LOL)

[@mozartbradway1501]

My chart table has always looked like that

[@YachtHunters]

A nice boat even though I'm not a fan of square top cabins and a good review as you two always do. I really liked the comments about varnishing and grandkids. Very cute. One question, you showed how to access the transmission end of the motor, but how about getting to the front for belts, hoses, and oil?

[@YachtHunters]

thru the stb cockpit hatch as i recall also there were some inspection hatches in the qtr berth area

[@jackwalby6257]

Seems like a great value. Great design . Sold a few Ellis designs over the years. Have you done any Nonsuch boats?! Haven't seen all the episodes so just asking. Still waiting on that Swan episode!!!!

[@YachtHunters]

We have a swan finally on the schedule… no nonesuch yet but we did a Freedom Cat Ketch

[@rickjohnson1632]

Talking to the mirror, I wish I could see me when I see me.... Very practical boat...
