There is more out there believe us

[@jeffcanar7294]

There are *many, many* boats out there, perfectly safe. seaworthy, and capable, requiring very little (if any) work for under $10,000. People think that sailing is this expensive activity/hobby, and it doesn't have to be at all. And on something like this, the total cost of ownership is trivial. There is nothing complicated about this boat at all, and the upkeep costs will be next to nothing. On the water, under sail, this boat will turn the heads of anyone who sails regularly. If there is one thing I wish this channel had more of, is video of these boats under sail. I bet this boat is beautiful.

I enjoy this show more when you feature affordable yachts. This one is not just affordable but aesthetically pleasing and in reasonable decent condition!

[@YachtHunters]

RICK UNDERSTAND that all our boats are afrdable at different level you might affor this on and amillionaire might only be able to ' afford" the Oyster but only the billionaire can afford an older million dollar Huisman so affordability is purely relative right ?

[@evanfarrior2736]

So maybe "attainable for the Everyman sailing enthusiast" is what he means by affordable. I get what he's saying. Nice to see a boat that looks nice and seems like a daydream price point not a fever dream one.

[@andreasvenator]

Guys, I checked the International Sailboat Data Base: this boat has a whopping 37.41 on the blue water Comfort Ratio and a dazzling Capsize Screening Formula of 1.55! Fantastic! The boat deserves a total refit at that price. As I do most of my sailing these days with my son who lives in Sweden, I will look for more yachts with similar "old school" virtues. Many thanks to the both of you for bringing us up the learning curve on boat building, rigging and the issues of handling of vintage technology!

I'm so glad you're back to affordable boats! Not that big expensive yachts aren't cool, but anyone can talk about how rich a rich thing is. The cheaper boats not only are more affordable and relatable, it's also a lot more interesting to find* the good and fun things within the much bigger pool of average offerings. This boat is the one I most see myself buying in the channel even if it's not my most dreamed. I can see myself spending 4.5k USD on this old girl and having fun fixing the little that needs fixed in it, and going the hell sailing!

Nice one! I met Robert Henry when I was 12 and he was head of small boat design for the US Navy. I'd drawn (I had no math or instruments) a 30 foot full keel cuddy sloop and a friend of my dad's got me an introduction at RH's office. At the time I thought I'd like to go to Webb and be a naval architect and so I was thrilled when he said he thought it would float on it's lines. Of course RH did all of the International series. The first of a line of NA's I met over the years in the business and always an enriching experience.

[@YachtHunters]

do all the homework you can you will make it

[@johnnydeutschemark3620]

Sailing can be cheap, wind is free. If you can get an inexpensive (or free !) mooring or slip the entry-cost is attainable to many. The things that cost a bit are storage, haulage and sails and lines. I've day-sailed without an engine for 10 years. This particular boat shown here is a bargain, well built but also pleasing to the eye, with historical significance in both design and ownership history.

[@YachtHunters]

yes!!

[@msconsult3705]

The problem with this small yacht is the lack of mast support in the passage to the bow. The owner has attempted to stabilize it by screwing metal plates inside and outside, because the pressure from the mast has caused the cabin roof to bulge inward.

[@thomaslongoria439]

What a breath of fresh air, of a channel/ show you two have put together here. Standout dynamic between you two with great upbeat and fun energy, notably quick clip plus solid production qualities. My only concern? Captain Q should absolutely get onto a health kick; I have led launching and turning around far more companies than most stretching decades now, including in Medtech and healthcare. So I’ve spent loads of time with leading experts from numerous disciplines including national and internationally noted leaders in cardio and more. Learned a whole lot. One result of that is I’ve literally helped save some lives due my “higher gain and fidelity radar” than most; one of those was a seasoned and highly successful investment banker and another “near save” was a “quiet billionaire philanthropist”. The near save was because he very nearly died soon after I didn’t push strongly enough with him and his executive assistant; he had just had a full work up with his Doctor who saw no issues. Doctors are human too.

I got my first real sailing yacht last Christmas for $4500 USD. After pulling the rusted Yanmar 12 hp anchor out and dropping in a 48 hp Volvo penta 2003t and alot of R&R she's almost ready to take my maiden voyage from Port Orchard Washington, up the sound, out the Straights of Juan de Fuca and down the coast to the Columbia river and upstream to Vancouver USA. It's a 1976 Camper & Nicholson 33' masthead sloop. #39 of 63 based on the 1975 winner of the Fastnet Golden Delicious. I still need to decide on a name but aside from that she's ready to go. I'll admit that I'm a little bit nervous considering I've only sailed twice before on a 12' sailboat in Miller bay. Wish me luck and thanks for uploading cool stuff on youtube.

Hello from the west coast 👋I like this one a lot .It's simple and basic and not trying to be something she's not just a feel good let's go play for the day or weekend and have some fun .and yes the hull is over thick .that's because at that time people were not sure how strong and durable fiberglass was .Her hull is most likely 1/2 to 5 /8 inch thick all glass .and that plate under the mast was most likely added because the cabin roof was not strong enough to support the stress of movement that was being transmitted from the mast to the roof . She will make a great first boat for anyone including a beginner .and if I'm not mistaken because of her weight you can trailer her to move from place to place she should be short enough that when the mast is removed and because of her gross weight it can be towed behind a pickup truck Using a properly built trailer .Yep a real fun boat to have at a real great price you can't go wrong hear.

[@ammoalamo6485]

About 1970 I had a chance to test out a $2000 fiberglas lake sailboat. It scooted across Benbrook Lake just fine in a light breeze, tacked and handled great, but there was no room to speak of in the cabin - it would be a 'cubbie cabin' if it were a motorboat. Nothing but a vee berth, but no cushions. I passed on the boat - I was not much of a lake person. But had I been near saltwater, near a calm bay, yes this baby would have been right up my idea of a starter boat that might never need upgrading for a very long time. No stove? Pack sandwiches and some salad fixings to get you through the day, and add a can of Sterno, a camp stove, anything to heat up some coffee anytime. If it's got a 12v lighter plug there are coffee pots that use 12v power like that. Umm, nice little boat, I'd make sure to get a cartridge toilet so I would not have that stuff sitting in the boat. They are practically giving it away. It is not free, I suspect because they want the boat to have an owner with a sense of investment. But it's not so expensive that it will not sell because there is a 36 footer nearby for just a few thousand dollars more.
