I'd buy it! I love the interior helm, perfect for cruising colder climes. The "baby stay" stabilizes the center portion of the mast to mitigate buckling, the same as multiple guy wires on tall communication towers. Mold: Install a SMALL, full-time dehumidifier, eradicate mold with bleach, dry all areas, install humidity detection paper, button it up for a month, recheck paper, seal leaks, repeat mold eradication in areas detected, and press on.

[@williamstreet4304]

Great comment. One challenge. I prefer vinegar to bleach for mold eradication. I find bleach does more damage than vinegar.

[@baltimoreravens1515]

Very nice. Love the layout of everything. It's a winner

[@erichyney6287]

We still like your channel. Nothing but love. Thanks for posting...

[@fxpthl]

Nice to see you sir and Happy New Year to you and Randi and the kids!

[@Mr2005BUSA]

Beautiful layout.

[@monsterhog1118]

Sweet boat I love the layout

[@janhbhugo5085]

Nice one ! Like it a lot !

[@michaelrobinson8915]

You are a blessing to the art and industry , thanks...m

[@whitneydouglas4794]

I love the layout of this boat, just wish the rigging was different and it was bit smaller. For me, personally. Pilot houses/desk salons are my favorite!

[@dansiwek3593]

The boat is great but for me if I'm spending 250K it's going to be a cat all day.

[@sucapizda]

I like the Halberg R right next to it. Hard dodger on it. Nice.

[@TheCorsair]

That HR is for sale -$775K!!!!

[@TheCorsair]

@@SUPERCARJON 🤣

[@jerrycallender7604]

You always show THE best boats - on the East Coast. I'm looking on the West Coast for living in the Sea of Cortez.

[@skyak4493]

Nice old luxury yacht. The long list of expensive updated hardware is both bait and a warning. The only thing that surprised me was how small the holding tanks were. 38 gallons is not a lot of luxury living for even 4. I guess discharge rules have gotten more stringent since this was designed.

[@corvavw6447]

Het is zeker geen slechte koop,neem daar wat tijd bij om vocht en verstaging aan te pakken ❤klaar.

[@branchgaa]

I was just on the hard right next to that vessel. Paint needs some work but otherwise a beautiful vessel. Very jelly. It has a cult following, but the general sailor population won't pay that much for this...

[@paulmahowald4970]

Great price

[@BigDreamsBoating]

Price is high with this market and you said it will take work. Normally not interested in paying 250k to do work.

[@adrenazanetti3660]

Nice tour but I’ll keep my Beneteau Oceanis 40 for now 😂🤣

[@lordhamercy9098]

What year constitutes (for its age)?

[@user-hn7ip4kl2e]

What would it be like to take the mask off and use a sailboat or live aboard and do loop

[@stevebryant9836]

1:51 - is that a crack at the base of the mast?

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

No that is not the mast but a "sock" to prevent water running down the mast in to the bilge.

[@Taugtaug]

Didn't James from Sailing Zingaro bought his Oyster vor 100k? It didn't need more work than this one?

[@Franklin-pc3xd]

Budget another half million for voyage ready/rigging; then figure at least a hundred grand annually for upkeep, insurance, etc.

[@ezmn9663]

Why do most boats have the boring Euro layout? Hallberg Rassy owns this segment, and yearly bumps prices $100k because they can...I guess most boat makers target the Med/Carribean market, so blue water layouts out of fashion...bummer. This is a great design.

[@pnr9730]

Whats the price 200k US?

[@FixNewsPlease]

If not for the build and material quality this vessel would be trash. It's obvious it hasn't been maintained for some time. She needs a lot of work and money to bring her to proud form.

[@jamesmaguire3973]

How about the hatch ? You just walked right by the most important safety device on the boat and never looked at it 😳

[@donaldbaughn6275]

How much is the bluewater cruiser.

[@kimurv2842]

See the video description

[@fionamccormick9268]

How much is it, where is it please

[@tomhermens7698]

245 maryland.

[@michaelsmith9308]

This one needs work, however, im okay with paying $105,000 USD

[@tomhermens7698]

Babystay needs furler. Cheap make mainsail . SS Arch, cheap and built as an afterthought. Single bunks are crazy. Better in prison. Should be workshop area. Moisture issues😢 just unimportant!!!! You like a lot so you keep saying. Buy it. Engine access not very good. Aft cabin fibreglass return should have been cut out to have one large or two small windows. Old boat anc tired but must reflective in the price. Homeport ? Mayland? Flag? I noticed an old HR49 next to her. For sale too? Year 1992 245.000, open to offers? What was the major 2022 refit???

[@davidhutchinson5233]

That's not a bad deal at all for such a great vessel. Oyster's are legendary. right up there w/ Swan sailboats.

[@camillawilliams3954]

I am sorry, but $200,000 is enough.

[@patraic5241]

I was thinking the same.

[@LearningtheLines]

Exactly why I said in the video the current asking price is a bit overpriced IMHO given the work needed to fix the moisture issues. However, that being said, this is still one of the most affordable Oysters of this size you can get on the market as I write this.

[@calvinholt6364]

Depends on the moisture issue but there's a lot of upgrades and it looks well kept. If it doesn't have it, it will need a bow thruster. Lovely 😍 boat.

[@toddwever4916]

​@@calvinholt6364😅

[@shroommcfanta2020]

Why are you sorry..it’s not your fault

[@dhpinkster]

Crazzy price 😂 how gona pay this $249000,- 😮 i tax this boat what i saw around 50k / 70k Oister is from sweden 😂 im dutch

[@alessandro.migliardi]

Boat worth not more than 125/130K's needs quite a bit of work...

[@jeroenvanrixel7980]

250 k bit optimistic

[@Mainecoach]

It's a great $200K boat! Buy this old mess for $100K. Dump $100K into the necessary and unnecessary upgrades and you will have a very nice $200K boat. Maybe flip it in pristine condition for $210K? If you're lucky. Make $10K for a year of hard work? Maybe? Welcome to sailing! Good luck and fair winds!

[@MG-qn9dm]

I pull up your videos frequently but I really do not like that the price is not available on the video. you called this video "An AFFORDABLE..." but then you don't tell us the price. Frustrating

[@mwgill1]

Price is always listed in the full video description. Where you see the number of views and how long the video has been out, you’ll see three dots... and the word “more”. Click on that.

[@kathrynjwolf817]

[@trickedouttech321]

this nice boat is about 100k over priced IMHO

[@scottmarkham9466]

How's your wife and kids ?

[@cerbule123]

this is a money pit lol, 92, for real?

[@patrickfitzoot]

Every so often this channel comes up in my feed, and I always wonder the same thing. Who is this guy? What are his credentials in sailboats/cruisers? Has he ever owned a big cruiser? Has he ever cruised offshore/long distance? Why should his opinions be listened to? His comment on good engine access was ridiculous. It's a 50' boat with the engine stuffed into the bilge, that is not good access on a 50 footer. I could probably tear apart other stuff but can't be arsed. Suffice to say, having a KZbin channel doesn't make you an expert in anything.

[@iverburl]

They do not claim to be experts; quite the opposite. Hence the channel name. They have only been at this a few years. The early videos were sometimes wince-inducing. It has been interesting to watch their progress.

[@patrickfitzoot]

@iverburl so maybe instead of walking around boats making inane commentary, they should bring someone along who knows stuff, because after a few years in, it's not clear if much, or anything, has been learnt.

[@thx1168]

Holy shit you are overthinking it, man. It's just a guy and a dream like all of us, but he's doing the footwork so we can see boats that we would otherwise not see. I'm glad you can't be "arsed". If you have more interest in a boat you see that comes up in your feed, then pursue it. If not, don't click.

[@patrickfitzoot]

@@iverburl 7 years in, regularly looks at items onboard has no idea what it is (tabernacle recently), not too much learning going on.

[@patrickfitzoot]

@@thx1168 casual criticism of a KZbin channel is not exactly overthinking anything.
