These videos are such a great reference to go back to which I’ve been doing. It should be the bible for anyone thinking of which boat to buy to look at first Thank you .

[@brice5542]

Good stuff,, HC is beautiful boat, I have a baby HC,, A 37 ft Tayana Pilot house, and I simply love it. Offshore she comes into her own, great motion, solid and pretty to look at, yes more teak then a forest, but it adds to the charm. Enjoy your videos, lots of good info, thank you. Cheers. Pops Fl.

[@Baspastoorsify]

My man! just wanted to tell you: i bought a sailboat! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@LadyKSailing]

Yayyyyyy!!!!!!

[@toddwever4916]

I did as well, and I know you've done Hans Christian boats, you haven't done the HCC model. Very curious as to what your take is on the Hans Christian Christina 43. BTW love your channel

[@CommentRedacted]

Me too! Mine just went in the water on saturday and first sail was Sunday! Congrats, it's a great feeling.

[@michynature]

@@CommentRedacted you are blessed! Congrats!

[@amyw.2190]

"More wood than the rain forest"! 😅 love that HCA except for the transom. I'm too old I guess...

[@southernpaths2986]

Do the older boats mentioned present insurance problems? By that, I mean actually being able to get any, lol!!

[@ryanmann3390]

I really appreciate these price point videos. They are different from other sailing channels and I love your review style. Keep it up!

[@brandongarlick6451]

Loving your videos and currently shopping for my first boat! However, I can't decide if you're actually helping, as all you've really done is make me fall in love with every boat and introduce me to ones I haven't even heard about or considered! All jokes aside, thanks for all your knowledge you're so happy to share!

[@LadyKSailing]

thanks for watching!

[@SV-DEDICATED]

At $80k I think the answer is still production boat. Just newer. I have a '05 Hunter 41DS. Everything on the boat is brand name. Hard to beat at the price-point.

[@amyw.2190]

Nice Delos tee!❤

[@tartansailor]

There is a boat for everyone and for any cruising plan, there are very few bad boats but plenty of bad owners.

[@jeffherrman6492]

Really like your channel. Like your honesty. Good on you brother!

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

I am an old hunter owner, and I can say that there’s a reason that they’re cheaper, structurally, electrically, and rigging…

[@christianriedel7017]

Having started on my dad's Catalina 36, then being aboard larger hunters and Catalinas while out cruising now on my own HC33 I would take my "tiny" HC33 all day long. It has so much more storage space, better/safer layout for passage making, room for equipment, better build quality and motion...yeah the wood sucks to keep up with, but for long term cruising I'll take it all day long. Having been back and sailing my dad's Catalina this summer, while it's fun for how easily it accelerates, I really don't care for the motion, even just on Lake Huron, than I do my HC33 on the ocean. Apples to oranges though I know.

[@LorienDrechsler]

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

My first boat was a 1976 Hunter 30’. Loved it. Why would you not the featured Hunter on an ocean crossing? Smaller, less capable boats do it all the time.

[@WillN2Go1]

Port lights are the difference between hanging out in your garage and actually still being on the water when you're inside the cabin.

Hello sailor, nice shirt

[@danielhasson6985]

Please a part 2!

[@tomwolniewicz]

We just picked up a hunter '96 Hunter 40.5 which is the last gen of Hunter Legends that actually sails well. It has a back stay and a lot of comfort and features. We've done 9-10kn on it in 12-15 wind. Its a bargain and well overlooked boat for what you get for the dollar.

[@LadyKSailing]

I've been drooling over the legend 37 at our club. I keep poking him about it. Someday when I have the cash :)

[@LadyKSailing]

Hey there!

[@svapohoe6223]

I am well aware of the "hate" so many sailors have for Hunter Sailboats.. You know I even had a surveyor once, tell me she wouldn't bother to survey a Hunter.. So when you featured a Hunter 410 in your "$80,000 Sailboats" episode I expected the backhanded compliments you offered the boat.. And while they are not as nice as a Swan or an Oyster, they are on par with the Beneteau, Jeaneaus, Catalinas and many other of the so-called production boats.. But then approximately 13:06 into the video, you commented: "And yes, it is a Hunter. And I would never intend to cross an ocean on this boat" Let's not forget the Hunter is CE Class A certified which means: "CE CLASS A yachts are designed for large sea voyages (everywhere), in which wind force may exceed 8 on the scale of BEAUFORT and waves can also exceed a significant height of 4 meters. These yachts are designed largely to be self-sufficient in this rather hostile environment." And by the way.. You may want to take a look at the KZbin Channel "Jibsea".. It is published by a young couple (under 30 or so) with only a year or two of sailing experience.. They just crossed the over from the Caribbean over to Ireland in a Hunter 42.. And yes, they did run into some pretty heavy seas.. So thanks for your, otherwise informative series of videos.. flk P.S. And don't think Hunters are only good as floating "condos".. Here in Galveston Bay, they often cross the finish line first.. flk k

[@mememe5231]

Thank you for making this great series! I do wish the westsails were a bit more attractive. Has anyone sailed on a Dragonfly 1200. Love the way it looks, though way, way out of our budget.

[@brucegarrison4999]

[@anonpers0n]

[@87sport]

You're getting closer to my Hunter 420 (2004). I can't wait to see if I have a good deal.

[@Johnsouthshore]

HC 38MK V is my dream boat.. has been for 20 years

[@bowdezaufa2609]

Been planning on getting a HC for about 15 years....next year I pull the trigger.

[@jasonmcintosh2632]

Hi Tim, you're doing a great job with this series, but I think it's time you cover hulls and keels, and then cutter, sloops and ketches. You've branched out into so many boats, it's getting hard to know "what flavor you want". I think you should get into the actual designs. I bought a Nauticat 44 largely due to it's "comfort performance" in heavy seas and the fact that I don't want to just bomb around the Bahamas.

[@cskaplan]

We have a '97 hunter 430. Fast, shoal draft, very comfortable, well equipped, no problems other than normal aging. I can't understand why people put hunters down. I expect it's the owner that needs help, not the boat.

[@skipperhoy]

Hey what about under 10k there are many DIYers that would benefit from what to look for… lol.

[@nobodyhome8637]

He has an episode on $20k boats (I think ep 185) I would utilize that list and try and negotiate down based on condition, age, equipment that would need to be done

[@larkangel6593]

$10k < have been sitting on the hard for the past 20 years, baking in the sun or freezing in the cold. In other words, the hulls are shot as even fiberglass badly degrades in those conditions. Don't need a vid, just need to wander over to a local yard to see if any derelict repos are available. Lol

[@nobodyhome8637]

@@larkangel6593 I think what skipper hoy is asking for is a list of the better or best boats in that price range so he doesn’t have to look at too many boats and can be fairly confident that the builder built boats that last and not waste time on the boats with poor quality manufacturing issues, some builders even in the same price point are better than others

[@larkangel6593]

@@nobodyhome8637 there are no good 28'+ boats in that range That's what I meant by derelict repo sales In other words, land fill candidates

[@nobodyhome8637]

@@larkangel6593 hey I agree but that’s not what he asked for, so I suggested to go to the 20k boat vid which ladyk makes several suggestions for boats in that price range that in his opinion are good boats then try and negotiate down, I try to make helpful suggestions in good faith and not piss all over someone who is asking for help

[@hodadyou]

Walter Cronkite owned a Westsail 42 that my Dad finished out for him. He would say "Westsailors don't call the Coast Guard".

[@johncolley6225]

Ah, the dependable WetSnail! very heavily built, they can take a lot more that you can! But notoriously slow, great comfortable cruisers!

[@Morrisfactor]

@@johncolley6225 They are not THAT slow. A 32 won the Transpac a decade or two ago, and I've sailed aboard the 42' and it is a surprisingly fast boat for a cruiser; faster than the rest of us that buddy sailed with it.

[@DCGULL01]

So, about that Hunter (hated by so many!)... she WILL circumnavigate the planet- if properly outfitted, of course- albeit not downwind with the main! However, a massive code 0, or other properly designed downwind sail and will create a faster downwind cruiser with comfort & width. Anything Hunter built over 36' is a CE: A rated vessel from design to execution. I want the H2Oline, but- really want to keep it under 40' LOA. But, a nice (under 20 year old) H 41DS has my name all over it. I really like the pullman fore cabin & well designed wet head in the bow. And the aft stateroom can actually have airflow! Bonus! Yet, I can't seem to find one in that elusive $80k window ('cuz, you know there's a 30K refit right behind it for proper passage making.)

I would like to see one of your videos looking at the local boats built here in Maine. You know Able, Lyman-Morse, Ocean Cruising, Jarvis Newman, Brooklin Boatyard, Hodgdon Yachts, Sabre, Morris and Hinckley. OK Hodgdon may be a bit too high end.

[@LadyKSailing]

Okay but I'm crashing at your place 🤪

[@todddunn945]

@@LadyKSailing Actually you could limit yourself to Hinckley, Sabre and Morris. There are tons of them here.

[@danharding4794]

Hiya guy, at some point in the future, could you elaborate why a Hunter 41 is not a boat to cross an ocean with. I see many videos about people crossing oceans on vessels much smaller.

[@LadyKSailing]

Yea can do :) In a nutshell the question is, was the boat built to withstand the ocean? Ie. is it "blue water". It's not about size. It's about construction. And the Hunter just wasn't.

[@chiefkikyerass7188]

What about a Formosa/Tiger..wuts your thoughts for a cruising liveabord?

Hey, Hey Lady K. What's Up from Captn. Ray. It's Time for ME to get back on board. I saw a few of your videos with increasing price points. My list of must haves are Pretty predictable. I am usually a Solo Sailor.40' ^, Center cockpit, inmast furling, blue water beauty. $50-75...? Shallow drafted if possible. I restored a 26' wooden cutter when I was Young and SILLY. No interest in Sanding and sealing nowadays. I can shop between R.I. to South Florida. Preferably south. I will be in Jupiter late Oct.-early Nov. Any advice, suggestions would be Well Appreciated... My last Yatch was donated to Children's Cancer when I Moved to PHOENIX...? For a "Long Island Sailor", I've Suffered Long Enough! Time to get back offshore...

Hey! What do you think of Malö and Hallberg-rassy boats? Two of my favorite brands

[@genesmith4019]

If your sailing area has the depth needed for their deep keels either is an excellent choice.

[@michynature]

Does anyone have any ideas how to lighten the dark wood of the older boats? They are so dark and dingy and if it weren’t for that dark depressing wood I would love so many more boats but I just can’t deal with it. Unfortunately the newer more expensive boats have the colour I can live with. Painting it seems like a nightmare. Anyone?

[@johncolley6225]

Yes! unfortunately it takes a LOT of elbow grease, sanding with progressively finer grits. then applying a couple of coats of light varnish to give you a real honey finish. It truly is a labor of love!

[@FXPL9277]

Why wouldn't you cross an ocean with the Hunter?

[@ddddd1666]

A 2005 Beneteau 473 with 2 electric winches for $85000 is a better choice

[@bullshitvendor]

great episode, but the tinny room reverb was kinda grating. get a lapelle or podcast microphone and it ll be bullseye

[@jkutyna]

Wonder why you chose the Hunter 41 instead of the 42 Passage instead, probably the gold standard in Hunters in that size and era. Also didn't need a snarky comment about not taking a Hunter across the ocean, as if they are incapable of that despite hunters of all sizes and ages having circumnavigations over and over and over again as well as any other boats at cost.
