Nice video, I own a 1999 Nimble Wanderer motorsailer. Lived aboard this boat since 2015 after moving up from my 1998 Nimble Kodiak. I love having a pilothouse, especially if the weather turns nasty. My only issue is they tend to pound into the waves due to the flatish bow but the draft of 2'10" means I can run and hide in places others can't reach. That and having the mast on a hinge means it's fairly easy to drop the main mast.I have a 75 hp Yanmar turbodiesel in mine. Runs all day long at about 1 gal/hour. Carries 72 gals total and I would normally run 4-5 days at a time before needing to refuel. Very few of these were built and I'm so glad I own one.

I sail a Brewer designed Morgan 382. After he sold boats for Cuthbertson, he worked in the design office of Bill Luders, then struck out on his own in Maine. He moved to Washington and then British Columbia. He was a fine designer and a generous man. With his death, we lost one of the last remaining yacht designers who learned their craft during the high point of American Yacht design under the CCA rule. But he was never bound by the rules and most of his later designs are fine examples of solid, well-rounded cruising sailboats.

I've owned two International Folkboats. The first one I owned had an inboard diesel. Between the drips from the access hatch in the cockpit floor and the stuffing box, there was always water in the bilge. The second one, which I presently own, is the outboard motor version. There is no hatch in the cockpit floor and, of course, no stuffing box. The bilge is always dry.

[@Methoes123]

Does your boat have wind vain auto capabilities with outboard?

Capt. Q, Once upon a time I was lucky enough to own a little Nimble 24. It always managed to receive admiring glances with its emerald green hull and tan bark sails. It had a stub keel with a centerboard which made beaching it easy. Many a weekend was spent exploring Lake Mead in Nevada. I sold it about a decade ago. Thanks for bringing back some memories of that stout little yawl.

Being in Colorado, this boat would be one of the largest on Dillion Reservoir in that mountain community. (I know you think its small). She would be a thing of beauty here! But is sailing popular in Colorado and at Dillion Reservoir? Yes, and so much so, there is a two year wait list to get a slip according to the marina when I checked this past summer.

One non debatable benefit of the canoe stern is if you're tied up alongside a dock and the wind comes up behind you, the waves won't slam into a wide flat stern and push the boat around. Another possibly debatable benefit is that when sleeping onboard, the waves won't be slapping against a wide flat stern and making noise. I'm not sure how much less noise it will be thought, but I'll debate that it's probably significant!

[@YachtHunters]

I think usually the waves hit slab aft at the back of your boat are hitting the counter, and not the stern most of the time, and even a canoe. Stern has got some counter to it, as it sweeps up from underwater to reform the V at the transom. But I think I would consider that way down the list of reasons to go that way or not. But thanks for your thoughts Mark I love to hear from you guys no matter what and who knows maybe we should go test canoe canoe stern next time🤗

My sole kneejerk criticism of that boat is what seems like a really awkward placement of that electrical switch panel directly under companionway at the top stair shown at about 15:45. To my inexpert eye it just seems SO likely to get both doused and kicked to pieces being right there, neither of which seems exactly desirable for one's "electrickery". But it is a venerable old craft, so maybe it just hasn't been an issue? I don't know how long it'd weather my own shambling size 11½ docksiders without incident though.

[@paulsinclair3401]

The 'double ender' hulls are mostly referred to in Europe by their Norwegian name of 'Snekke' hull...... I sailed a few in Norway and the UK and Channel Islands. They were originally adopted in Norway and other parts of Scandinavia in the design of workboats due to their exceptional sea keeping qualities. The Snekke hull became very popular throughout Europe and is synonymous with seaworthiness and of course we saw the world famous Snekke hull of the 32 foot 'Suhali' which Sir Robin Knox-Johnston sailed in the first non-stop solo circumnavigation of the world in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race back in the 60s... The old Norwegian yacht builders I worked for as a youngster had a 28 foot and 33 foot Snekke design which I loved sailing and they also had a few smaller motor boats with Snekke hull. As for the 'Emily Hope', she's nicer than a 'cute boat'.... she's a very well thought out design and would make a lovely family coastal cruiser for weekends and holidays afloat exploring shallow creeks and going where few 30 footers could go..... Thank you for another interesting video Captain.....

Try chartering down south No time would be better than to book something today given our current weather. But I don’t know how big your family is but start small if you want and see how that works out and if they all say we love it but we need more room and more bedrooms and more bathrooms than that’ll be here indication what to look for in a boat

@@YachtHunters I have 4 grandkids. Son in law and my daughter and also my son and his wife so I may not be able to get everyone on board at the same time which might cause problems. 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄🧐. My luck I’ll buy a boat that’s too big and I’ll be sitting all alone on a big boat. 😜
