Welcome to Chasing Latitudes! Have you ever imagined the smell of the ocean air as your boat crashes through the waves? The freedom that comes from casting off the bow lines and heading out to sea to explore new places you can’t reach by car or airplane? Then this channel is for you.
You will not see white sand beaches here, restaurant reviews, beach parties, selfies or Japanese knives. What you will find is factual information based on decades of sailing experience.
My channel is specifically meant for one thing and one thing only, to help YOU find your new to you fancy-dancy yacht of your dreams and get on the water in the fastest, most time efficient manner.
Don’t get caught up in looking at old boats! I focus on mostly newer vessels, built in 2000 or later because I want you to spend as much of your time as possible sailing, not practicing your restoration skills on an old boat attempting to bring it to its former glory.
You want to take advantage of the amazing newer technology and modern hull designs when it comes to sailing. This is going to make your vessel far easier to sail solol or short handed and make them far more comfortable and efficient to live aboard full time or even just weekenders without buying more boat than you need.
I offer a wide variety of services including consulting where I will take you through the entire process of how to budget properly, choosing what vessel size will work for your needs, what type of vessel, I will help you shop for vessels, determine offer prices, schedule surveys, talk with brokers, teach you how to do your own pre-survey, walk you through hiring the correct surveyor and help you avoid all of the common pitfalls that you will find when purchasing used sailing vessels.
The consulting does not stop there, I will be with you every step of the way and long after you have purchased your vessel as consulting also comes with lifetime access to the members area,.
Chasing Latitudes hosts a large, active private members area where the members are more than happy to offer their own experience to solve problems, host private videos for ASA Sailing quizzes (ASA 101, 103, & 104), and live stream videos which feature anything from member cruising to boat shopping, boat comparisons, and other live content with chat from the subscribers to my KZbin channel and channel members.
It’s time for YOU to get on the water. Come aboard!

Chris basically summarizes my plans if I can not afford a 349 or a newer boat, buy an oceanis 37 or a 36i... Both would fit our needs perfectly (other than the dual helm criterium)

[@fawqman2764]

They are all in my YachtWorld filter but my favourite is the 39i. I don’t live far from the one in New York and it’s already a Canadian vessel but I’m holding out for a 2 cabin. The separate shower is a must. Keep the great vids coming!

[@zacklattak]

I feel like you just made this video for us Chris! the more I look into it the more I like the 39I . watching the market closely 👀

[@ericbuckner8182]

That’s a tough one Chris. Up to 40 is the deciding factor , the price points are close so give me the 39i. Add 25 k in mods and call it a win.

[@jamesheynen5256]

You didn’t it again! Another tidbit of knowledge gained. Thank you. Also vote 39i

[@billybob77100]

Chris ... 1 of each would be fine and I can have them in my favorite locals. 😀😀

[@RichieKeane]

Hi Chris, interesting channel and principals. Refit and boat selection versus the “trend” . However if the long term plan is to circumnavigate in high latitudes solo on the water for £100k, surely you are looking at Nicholson, Contessa or similar that someone else has spent their life looking after? Agree an oceanis 37/40/44 is the ideal day to day cruiser/live aboard. Further have you considered an episode on best boats to purchase within 5 years old on finance? Your refit v sailing time episode is very pertinent, £50k budget is a £250k boat over 10 years for £1200-1800 per month v the costs of refining to a similar standard.

[@dougwatson821]

A Catamaran? Are you looking to be French Fried? Just kidding around. Love your videos and your point of view regarding sailboats.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Thanks Doug

[@nodogrunner]

I would have to say the 36i for my budget. I have been against Cats but you have me thinking.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Me too tim, me too but that Gemini would be nice for a Caribbean cruiser

[@chrischandler5144]

Why would you fear being called a potato? 😂 I would like a little cat but just sitting waiting to see where life takes me.

[@TheRiseofSuperman]

Thank you for this video.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

thank you for watching

[@jefflloyd394]

Great, thanks!

I am a religious guy… Billy Graham was a televangelist. Huge difference. I don’t have a Rolex collection.

[@insight1256]

Very informative. 😎👍

[@mjanulis3603]

Great episode. I assume when you talk about a vessel on good for the Caribbean that includes Florida Keys & Gulf Coast? Is that accurate? Thanks so much!

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Yes

[@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck]

I do not a see any advantage of a comparable beneteau or jenneau over a hunter. in this case a hunter 356 or 36. I guess as a hunter 356 owner, I may be prejudiced. But it may also be that I am knowledgeable of hunters.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Hunters are great boats, these are just what would work best for me

[@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck]

@@ChasingLatitudes fair enough

[@esca8117]

What do you plan to do about the different European Electric system when you cruise the Mediterranean?

[@ChasingLatitudes]

just grab adapters

[@robertevers1653]

For me the jeaneau sun odyssey 39i 2008

[@jomelnk7899]

Love you Shtick !

[@briancall5794]

Great video

[@ChasingLatitudes]

You ready Brian ?

[@sambassil7825]

The Cyclades I guess.

[@graemepollett1641]

Hey I'm curious..... are you currently looking to buy a new to you sail boat? And in what price bracket?

[@ourjourneyoverland1271]

This is great! Now do the exact same video if you had a wife and 2 kids.

[@paxYmo]

How about a person 385 cc.

[@jessyalexander3985]

Chris - is the Beneteau or Jeanneau a "better" boat than the Hunter?

[@ChasingLatitudes]

yes

[@jessyalexander3985]

@ABC gang many thanks!! Makes sense to me. Just noticed that Hunters tend to be a little (not much) cheaper. Or is it just me who thinks that?

[@jessyalexander3985]

@@ChasingLatitudes thanks!

[@TDubya811]

How did that Gemini get to England if its not ocean going?

[@cindyreid6404]

Most likely on a ship, it's done all the time.

[@TDubya811]

​@cindyreid6404 good point, wonder how much a service like that would cost. Would it be worth it?

[@johnq.public2621]

😃👍👏👏👏

[@Princess_n_TheDuke]

Cyclades

[@daveware4117]

Every thing in the pacific north west is over priced? That sucks, that where i would perfer to buy

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Caribbean

[@trustthescience2260]

I stopped watching after the first "budget sailboat" came it at $70k! Should say, "budget sailboats for the 10%."

[@tjciaffone]

Gemini for me?
