33 Foot Sailboat for Less Than $10,000!

[@Droptopbelair]

I called the owner. He sold it. But hey Tim there’s a lot of us out here would like to buy keep the opportunities coming same finders fee applies!!

[@ThatGuy-cw8gb]

Join a sailing club then sign up to crew on someone else’s boat. I did that and inside of a year I was given a S2 6.7. Did a bottom job, replaced the running rigging, light maintenance on the outboard and some general cleaning. For less than $2000 all in I got a boat that’s great for day cruising and learning how to handle a larger boat! Not a 33 footer and not gonna take me to the Bahamas I know. However it proving that nothing is more expensive than a free boat… cause it’s making me want a bigger boat!

[@LadyKSailing]

Heck ya!!

As a reformed used car salesman, "selling for a friend" gives me pause. Great boat, i love that generation of styling. Definitely an Alberg fan here.

[@ICFUBAR]

Good friends help their buddies out, especially in times of need. This seems a well maintained if an old design that will have an old style layout. Not a racer but not meant to be other than a cruiser. I like the keel configuration for a cruiser. Someone will be very happy with this deal if they know what they are looking for and this boat fits the bill for them. Sweet!

[@chriskelly6559]

Too small for 4 long term.

[@jamesstuart3346]

I owned a Luders 33 -- 1968 Hull #47. Lived on it for 7 years in Canada. Not fast but comfortable and easy to sail. Comparable boats are C&C 30 and Corvette, Alberg 30 and 37. There are lots around at good prices but make sure the engine is recent

[@philipstrachan6212]

Looks very clean. Love the blue and white piping seats. Very smart and ship-shape. BUT assume she's not seaworthy, until you've convinced yourself otherwise. Thanks for showing us.

[@dylansmith3148]

Beautiful hull design. Wish I had the money for it. It's close by.

[@CB-68-westcreations]

I missed it. But definitely keep sharing details like this when you see it happen.

[@todddunn945]

Nice boat. The construction details are almost the same as my Allied Princess 36. That isn't surprising since Allied built the Luders 33 too. This boat will be a good sailer, but will seem small by modern standards. It will get you there. I suspect the hull is solid glass and that there won't be any blisters. My 72/73 Allied has no blisters. The deck is likely balsa cored so some people may be worried about wet core. However, on my Allied the upper skin on the balsa cored deck is almost 1/4" thick, so the core is not really needed.

[@dalewhite7775]

Have an Allied Seawind II. These hulls will still be around in another 20 years and more. Don't get why insurers are trying to phase them out. Balsa cored decks are only a problem when deck harware rebedding maintenance is neglected. Epoxy seal the thruholes and no more worries.

[@todddunn945]

Kinda like owning a Ford Deuce Coupe there's always people who'll admire the classic lines.

[@maheraljannan]

Thank you for sharing. Actually, I never thought about buying sailing boat ⛵ before, although the thought of sailing tickled my fantasy for many years. However, this year I thought to look for what would cost to have one and I noticed that you can have one for like 1000$ up to like 1000000! Anyway, my comment here is about when you said this boat is old and slow. I wonder, slow comparing to what? Whatever advice you can give to me I'll take it. I already applied for a docking spot in the marina where I live and I'm looking forward to buying my first sailing boat soon. Thank you🌹

[@RichardBarker-d1h]

So ANOTHER Great Offering ! Such a deal ! ! Do you have any friends on the Pacific Ocean side of the world selling a boat ? Seems like all of the "deals" are on the Atlantic side . 😢

[@wow.sailor.]

Hi Tim, this is a steel, what a nice boat

[@johnhylant9988]

No matter the cost have it surveyed. This is not just for $ spent but also for the trip home

[@volvotango8363]

How much would a survey cost? The boat would have to be taken out of the water then out back too.

[@johnhylant9988]

I'm sure the cost varies according to location but if you have$ for boat..... in and out absolutely and you should be there

[@benlakish2512]

That's a good looking sailboat! 15k seems very reasonable for something in that condition. I bet those cockpit lockers are massive! The large fore and aft overhangs of the hull may slow it down a bit most of the time (due to the shorter waterline length), but that should also ease the motion if the waves pick up right? Looks like the rudder is keel hung with a cutout for the prop: pretty bulletproof there as long as the rudder tube doesn't leak. Looks like a good cruiser.

[@stevenplancich6449]

I like your “Finders Fee”😜

[@tomlambert1833]

There was an 84 34 ft campion in Gibsons Bc for 8 grand.. The snag is you needed a place to put it

[@adeejames]

If I had the money, that would be my new home.

[@friarfoxz]

Excellent pedigree for the asking price. It's ironic that people will put 25k into a used car but get all conservative about a 10k boat. It's a sweetheart deal and if not your cup of tea then you can flip her for something else. I have a preference for center cockpit and aft state rooms IE: Hans Christian 33 but that's just personal choice. This is a great deal and a decent inventory. An afternoon sail would be all it should take to close the deal. Thanks for the showing.

[@LadyKSailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@DavidLawFilms]

Looking for a place to comment or message you, not necessarily about this video. Maybe you could do a video about the costs of boat ownership and sailing. I mean you buy a boat, then what? Expensively you can pay craftsman and marinas, but what about long term affordable boating? DIY repairing and the ins and outs of locating anchorage areas to save on those expensive dock and mooring fees. Everyone says anchor out, but no one says where to find those spots and how to safely do it. I’ve been on docks and moorings for years, but now I want to challenge myself and anchor for next season, but I’m realizing just how much I don’t know about finding anchorage spots.

[@hansjensen7823]

Tim actually did a few videos on costs last winter. Finding anchorages is a good idea.

[@josephplace9754]

Very similar to my Tartan 34c!

[@pl7868]

Pretty sure the glass is heavy an from what I could see the mast is deck stepped so the deck probably is solid , looked like wooden blocking at the roller furling jib stay on the deck an wonder what's up with that , the rest of the boat looks fine , can't see more than a couple spending much time on it though , for ten grand for a young couple you could really go places with that boat , Thx for sharing

[@nedkelly2035]

Just saying from memory without looking it up, I think this was the same model of boat Robin Lee Graham completed his circumnavigation in after his Lapworth 24 became untrustworthy.

[@masongregory6913]

That is true.

[@jepbrown4941]

Hi I just inspect one boat at 11,000usd, 40ft, Riggings are new, fuel tank was replaced, new sails However Engine needs to be overhauled first, navigational system was ripped out, anchor chain looks good but I think need to be replaced in 1-2years. Realistically speaking, are the bads outweigh the goods? Thanks in advance😊

Well it’s not a 33’ for 10k but I just bought my first real sailboat after a lifetime of digny we now have a keel and I believe it fits the bill for a first boat it’s under 5k with a trailer and running outboard the only thing missing is it didn’t make your list it’s an edel 665 thanks for all the info

[@charles.neuman18]

I like having a guided tour video like this. Interesting how they did the galley. Was the layout part of the refit? They made a big galley in a small space, but... having to step on the counter when going in or out of the cabin seems like an issue. I guess maybe you could put a "welcome" mat there or something.

[@skaraborgcraft]

Similar to a Rival 32. Its a steal at that price. Currently eyeing a boat in Vancouver from Sweden, but need to understand the paperwork to leave Canada with it.

I'm not that surprised when I see well kept boats. Even the concept of returning from left for dead doesn't deserve to be bashed. I've fixed everything from a calf with an infected knee to an unwanted Wurlitzer to a car that spent two decades buried in a chop shop to a rental plane that got partly stripped. I don't feel this hesitation around boats, and I just bought motor parts today. There may be a trailerable sailboat sneaking up on me and I don't know it. It's nice to have a diesel and a DSC radio sitting around.

[@BobHill-s2c]

If you're wondering, don't bother... you can't afford it.

[@OGHumorBot]

I live near a decently large landlocked lake in the southern U.S. and I’ve spotted several great boats that would be perfect for a solo/couple making a run through the Bahamas and Antilles. The problem is that, while they’re incredibly inexpensive compared to their counterparts already in salt water, the cost for the transport to splash on the coast makes it a bit too prohibitive.

[@nickthedick3742]

There's one I was looking at land locked in Nashville. Great deal but the $10k it would cost to get it to the coast puts it in a more normal price range for the model. However $3k would get it transferred a few miles to the Tennessee river and sail from there. You only need to get it to the nearest navigable waterway. That could save you a lot.

[@nickthedick3742]

My hypothetical there was a 37' boat, but I actually bought a trailer for my 27'. Like sailboats the trailers are hard to sell so they have a buyer's market too. One can get non commercial wide load permits in several states. You might be surprised what you can do yourself. Many boats up to 30' are within modern pick-up towing capacity.

[@volvotango8363]

I don't see much information on the number of sails and what condition they are in.

[@statues3983]

Is there customs/vat/ownership stuff if you bought it from Europe?

[@wahid-lg1kk]

Deals like this are common. If you really need this kind of deal, go out every day, tramp up and down the wharves, talk to people. You will find three in 2 weeks. It's like, second boat, or cash flow issues, for whatever reason, the owner can't afford the moorage anymore, stuff like that, the thing has to go. Boats are sold before houses.
