Buying a used sailboat, Used sailboat market breakdown

[@mikemalone2834]

You changed my mind, I was looking for a livaboard and was looking at Albergs style modified full keels. But these beauty's you show are magnificent with really nice living down below.. thanks bro

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Nice,

[@skousend]

There are some nice boats there. Keep 'em coming!

[@howardedwards2393]

You are making us think that a modern boat is the way forward. Thank you Chris.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

They are 😎

[@chrisandkim8768]

Bobby G: I agree. The DS models are beautiful. Owners' version has a great master suite aft, if that's your thing too. Great boats all around today.

[@larry9210]

I really enjoy your shows. Consider thinking about some segments focusing on more performance oriented sailboats . As an example the Beneteau first series. Thanks again

[@basicinfoplaybook]

Thanks for the daily videos. ❤ you buddy!

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Thanks for watching and the comments 🙂

[@swimcat2333]

I love these vids too/ great straight to the point info. My brain is recording much of this. What does DS stand for?

[@bgauthi1]

I am warming to the Jeanneau DS models. The stepped cockpit seat are kind of meh but otherwise they are pretty nice. They are on the short list now.

[@RickMentore]

Not buying for a while but still enjoy your videos! What has brokers done that you so dislike them😀

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Thanks , ahh I've been buying boats for decades, brokers are just used car salesman

[@basicinfoplaybook]

Will you cover ac systems, 247 internet anywhere, water makers, and maybe sailing schools, etc?

[@ChasingLatitudes]

I have previously a bunch but I can always revisit it

[@rtg9760]

I have been in that 2000 Jeanneau 34-2 in Vermont looking early this year to purchase a boat . This is a single owners boat and my brief overview showed that there was some bilge pump work going on and the sole of the bilge cover was springy . The boat works for us and I would like to take my wife there this weekend . Any advice on critical issues or suggested offer? Or maybe a consult? Many thanks !!

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Oh nice , sure I would be happy to help, maybe sign up for the producer on my website, that gets you a consult as well as a years access to the members area , I'm always available to chat on the members area and would be more than happy to help

[@SkyPilot54]

I am learning the hard way,, the most expensive boat, is the cheapest

[@ChasingLatitudes]

It truly is

[@andrewmcdonald4908]

For quite a while I have been torn between more modern yachts (43- 47ft) comparable with your criteria and another group including ketch rig yachts such as Ta Chiao 54, Formosa 51, etc, as these were described as robustly built spacious boats with favourable sail configurations. With the latter being 1980 at newest would you describe the latter as boats to be avoided?

[@terryroth9707]

He doesn't recommend anything older than 2000. This I believe is due to repair costs

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Thanks @terry , yes that's 100% correct, I generally will never recommend a vessel older than 2000 due to repair costs, refit cost , design, functionality, space and numerous other factors

[@ChasingLatitudes]

@andrew yeah, those vessels while Great in their day are simply to old at this point , all of your money would be spent on repairs, besides that they are incredibly out dated designs and you could find something newer and smaller that will still have more room

[@chasepuzon6893]

Please don’t down you tube. I enjoy your show and get good info from the show.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

? What ya mean

[@chasepuzon6893]

You keep on saying that you tube doesn’t pay you much money at all I’m not upset just want to that you tube for what it has done

[@ChasingLatitudes]

@@chasepuzon6893 oh yeah no worries, KZbin is great, just doesn't pay much is all, no biggie

[@rickylefleur2158]

1 times DS, please :D

[@pezpengy9308]

consider: 1.) folks who buy newer (or new) sailboats are necessarily on the higher side of income, and most likely have the smarts to go with that higher income (with some notable exceptions). 2.) we (they) are putting our boats up for sale. for a lot of us thats a heady decision rife with sadness. 3.) dont you have to wonder why so many of us are all, at one time, selling our much loved boats? 😞

[@ChasingLatitudes]

nope I dont wonder why at all, this pace cant continue with the economy and boats will be some of the first things to go

[@brianlion123]

Why dont you like brokers?

[@sambassil7825]

How much is it to register it in San Diego?

[@ChasingLatitudes]

No idea as I live in the Caribbean

[@thomastaylor6991]

Comment. Go ASA

[@nobody46820]

😃👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@kristincappelli]

Second!

[@TexTider]

first

[@DrShout]

Really? You won’t mention the Draft number along with all the other numbers you give, then every boat after that 393 you give the Draft. Yes, all boats have a variety of Drafts as well as a variety of Lengths. 😂

[@DrShout]

@@abcgang8048 That’s true… didn’t know this was only going off what’s found on the listing only.

[@cpenn458]

Now do cats.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Did a video on cats two weeks ago , did you catch it ?
