[@MikeLoveBuns]

Beautiful classic blue water cruising sailboat ⛵️! Mike from Missouri

[@BoatTourTv]

Thanks for watching Mike!

[@garyczarnecki3971]

Owned one. Solid safe go anywhere vessel. Tons of comfortable room topside and below. Great example of a William Gardener design. Hard to sail anything else.

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Amazing! What a beautiful sailing cruiser, my kind of traditional style. Thank you for the tour, very interesting, and well done to the owner for taking such good care of her and doing all the work that he has done, .

[@NotOnYourLife]

The F50 is one of the best layouts of all time for a comfortable world cruiser. It has been my favorite for decades. It isn't fast but speed isn't everything, comfort is.

[@BoatTourTv]

We totally agree. After being on many different boats we thought it offered privacy to crew members while also being comfortable, airy, and a warm rich environment. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe we have many more boats coming! Carl & Yulia

When sailboats were truly sailboats!

[@BoatTourTv]

We couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching.

[@johnriofrio]

First time seeing a Hudson Force 50 and love it.

[@BoatTourTv]

We agree, it is a big roomy boat. Thanks for watching.

[@robertalexander3067]

One of my favorite sailboats of all time!!!

[@BoatTourTv]

We fell in love with her. Thanks for watching we really appreciate it!

Beautiful Boat and great presentation.

[@BoatTourTv]

Thank you for watching, we appreciate it.

[@jonnydougs]

Mines an ‘84. Love this monster! See you on the water!

[@BoatTourTv]

Thank you for watching! What do you like about her the most? I personally was impressed about all the room it has inside, and it's character.

[@jonnydougs]

@@BoatTourTv Exterior lines, master stateroom, transom windows, how she moves through the water....on and on....She’s a lot of work though, but no complaints there. Bought Apriori 19 years ago at Roche Harbor, San Juan Island. At that time, looked at every Force for sale on the west coast and Texas...she was the one for me!👣👣

[@BoatTourTv]

@@jonnydougs We totally agree, what's not to love about them! We are hoping the owner sails to Hawaii so we can crew for him.

[@jonnydougs]

@@BoatTourTv another cool feature, every interior I’ve seen is different. Fun looking at the different interior configurations.

[@BoatTourTv]

That is what we love about being on boats, they are never the same!

[@petersorace4105]

Hey bud met you the other day I'm on sailing vessel Southern Cross I have a Formosa 41 love that style boat thanks for the tour

[@BoatTourTv]

Hey there! Thanks for checking us out and watching, great chat on the dinghy's about boats. Keep me up to date on your progress, and swing by and have a beer soon, just tie off to swim step.

[@renebarten8343]

I love the boat!

[@BoatTourTv]

We did too! She is a fine example of a Bluewater cruising sailboat and meticulously taken care of!

[@ericvuille1956]

Beautiful...like new

[@BoatTourTv]

Thanks and welcome

[@sergiorodriguez7031]

Hermoso Velero. Éxitos

[@sergiorodriguez7031]

Gracias .thank you. Kiss

[@earljeremy2364]

What a beautiful boat! I would love to see what she looks like today almost two years later.

[@davidbarten7429]

Hi Earl, I just checked in here and can say she is still and more so the belle of the ball. The varnish, sewing, and polishing is our way of life. She gets plenty of water under her keel and lots of happy times aboard.

[@BoatTourTv]

We can tell you better than ever! Dave keeps her beautiful.

[@ericvuille6410]

Beautiful 😍

[@BoatTourTv]

We totally agree, thank you for watching.

[@criscaires6713]

Dream!!!!

[@BoatTourTv]

We agree! Thanks for watching us.

[@garyczarnecki3971]

Fyi: $ 15/yr + $ 2700 insurance/yr +$2-6 k/yr+ maint. Lots to keep up. Loved it.

[@walterthorne4819]

A very nice boat !

[@BoatTourTv]

We couldn't agree more with you. Dave is currently making improvements and refinishing so many items on her, she is even more beautiful than in the video. Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it.

[@James-n8v1g]

I love the boat but you would have to have a lot of time and money for this boat. It's a full time job.. I wonder what the yearly maintenance costs are and how many hours work?

[@twoHRdrive]

May I ask, after the initial buying price, how do the costs of owning a boat like this scale up per foot? So, compared to a 35 or 40 foot boat, does it become disproportionately/exponentially more expensive to own?

[@BoatTourTv]

Hi Andy, great question. I think they say the average is 10% a year for maintenance of the cost of the vessel. For us. the major cost for a vessel as it get s bigger is the marina charges. I don't think necessarily the cost gets more per foot for maintenance. but your time spending on work would drastically go up. For us owning a 40' compared to Dave at 50 ' is going to be about $250 more a month in slip fees. Did that answer your question? Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it!

[@twoHRdrive]

@@BoatTourTv That answered my question perfectly! Also, I'd like to add that the way you interact with people watching your videos is an awesome concept.. I'll be coming back for sure! Thanks a lot for your time

[@BoatTourTv]

Thanks Andy, glad we could answer the question. Keep an eye out for new videos, we have two owners perspectives coming out soon on a 40' Ed Monk Trawler and a 47' Lagoon Cat, we really get in the owners "heads" and found out the reasons they chose their vessels, what they love about them, and what they don't like. Thanks again for your support!

[@stephenburnage7687]

Believe me, costs go up exponentially, not linearly. Assume a 40ft costs twice as much as a 32ft and half the cost of a 50ft.

[@stephenburnage7687]

New boat buyers always underestimate maintenance costs. Apart from marina and insurance fees, assume 10% in maintenance and upgrades.

[@SergeiMorozov]

Can I get the contact of the shipowner? I have an offer to him. Please.

[@BoatTourTv]

Of course, Sergey. Please email us at [e-mail] so we can forward your contact information to the owner. By the way, мы говорим по русски :)

[@SergeiMorozov]

@@BoatTourTv Прекрасно, спасибо, я написал на вашу почту!

[@MrSasnz]

Am I wrong or is this almost identical to the Formosa 51?

[@davidbarten7429]

Formosa 51, Hudson Force 50, Mickelson 50 all had the hull, only the Hudson and Mickelson had this deck layout, the Mickelson had a different interior layout, but equally as nice. Also - the Mickelsons were all Cutters.

[@BoatTourTv]

Thanks Dave for explaining, having such a beautiful boat, and giving us a tour.

[@davejazz2424]

Does she ever go to sea?

[@BoatTourTv]

Dave, they have her out more than she is in port, always on the go and being sailed. They are also currently fitting to do a pacific crossing. Thanks for watching we really appreciate it!

[@davejazz2424]

@@BoatTourTv That’s good to know. I hate to see good yachts parked up for months on end. I used to sail a Nic 55, go anywhere, anytime. Fair winds.

[@BoatTourTv]

We totally agree!

[@richardhoutwed2730]

mask really

[@psystealth]

take the masks off ...wtf?

[@BoatTourTv]

Capitan's boat, Capitan's rules..... We are very respectful to the owners of the boats we board. Stay healthy and fair winds.
