Coastal Cruising Sailboat for Sale - Excellence in Sailboat Design & Craftsmanship EP25

[@YachtHunters]

A Note from Charlie & Christine: -------------------------------------------------------- Thank you all so much for reaching out! My wife Christine and I have been deeply moved by the warm wishes and support from the sailors of all the 7 seas and from the land bound occupants of all the 7 continents and bits that are surrounded by the oceans we love so much. Both Christine and I have experienced storms at sea, literally and figuratively. You have listened to Captain Q share my current cancer storm, which is ongoing with twists and turns including an emergency gall bladder removal the other day. Stories are our currency in that we own a company, Camden Writers, that specializes in oral histories for families and businesses. I thought you might like to hear a couple of our stories. In 1997 Christine and her British sailor husband David set out on their new sloop. They spent the night in Marblehead MA and headed Down East the next AM. First a stop in Manchester MA for lunch with friends. Approaching the harbor, the wind died and there was a sea still running as David walked to the bow. On his return to the cockpit, a swell swung the boom to port and smashed David in the head. He went overboard, no life jacket, and he went down quickly just off Great Misery Island. Christine, having spent about 12 hours on this new vessel, most of those hours sleeping, wasn't able to do anything to help him. A nearby vessel got David out of the water, and Christine off of the sailboat. Christine and David, still alive, were taken to Beverly Hospital where the doctor told Christine that he could keep David alive, but there was really no point as David would be a “Vegetable.” Fast forward to Camden, ME where Christine spent the next two years. A journalist by trade who had lived in Bahrain, Fiji, and Great Britain, she began to write histories for friends and found this to be her great passion. Thus began camdenwriters.com in which we are now partners, Christine writing and me, a former architect, doing the graphic design work for the books we produce. We work all across the States and in England. The week we were married in 2004, on a sunny calm afternoon, we placed David’s ashes in the sea he loved, in the quiet waters between Great Misery and Little Misery Islands. When we met, Christine still wanted to sail and our boat Halcyon has been our summer home for 15 years, cruising the coast of Maine. David is always with us when we are sailing, especially when running before the wind, when our block and tackle boom jibe preventer, which I’ve named “Davy’s Locker,” is working. Every step I’ve taken on Halcyon I’ve thought of David. We are not used to telling our own story, but you have all given us such an outpouring of love, caring, and support, we wanted to share with you. We can't tell you what your kindness has meant to us. Thank you so much, Charlie and Christine

A few months later…. Did I miss how Charlie is doing?

[@southerncross4956]

Charlie, He sees, He hears, He knows. Scream at or whisper to Him, He will lesson. Thank you Captain Q and Randy for the chance to speak to and for Charlie.

[@MoosePantz]

Captain Q, you are just a sweet and decent man. I certainly will send an e-mail to Charlie, and this boat is a real gem. Bless you and Charlie and all sailors everywhere. Thanks for all these great videos.

[@YachtHunters]

Jeff Charlie sailed last fall. But his bride still loves to hear the love Please do

[@ratandmonkey2982]

@@YachtHunters sorry to hear about Charlie. Cancer of the pancreas is supposed to be one of the worst ...

[@jacksmith8002]

You guys are just so freakin wonderful, I love the pop-up explanations, the dry comedy and the down-homeyness of Captain Q

[@YachtHunters]

Thank so much, Jack. Much appreciated :)

[@jacksmith8002]

Charlie, stay strong and fight hard we are with you and your boat is a masterpiece ! get it in the water this spring and take Captain Q sailing so we can see a video of it

[@HeSaid007]

Soon we want to see you cruising down east! Our kindest regards to Capt Q and Randy, our favorite sailors! Keep your fab reviews coming!

[@kimosabi860]

I just recently discovered the channel and watched this today. Great channel, fun and informative. Charlie, Wishing you well through your travails. I'm a retired Navy CPO. I was stationed at Newport, working out of King Hall from 2004-2007 before retiring. We'll pray for your healing, your comfort and the doctors wisdom in treatment. Fair winds shipmate!

[@TheBelldiver]

I'm learning so much watching your videos and taking notes on each one. So thank you so very much for explaining and adding text to your productions.

[@YachtHunters]

You are so welcome!

[@immostlyharmless]

Captain Q undergoing angioplasty today. The following response by Captain Q to a comment about an earlier video was posted earlier today: "Thanks for your thoughts and others have mentioned it and I have ignored it until this weekend when i checked to local hospital and as I write I am waiting to go for angioplasty this am. I have A similar experience with the slow advance of short breath so today I have 610s and one quad bypass in my history. It’s just easy to ignore it but thank you for your kind note hopefully will come out the other side ready to climb the ladder’s." Wishing Captain Q fair winds and following seas!!! See you topside soon, Captain!

[@YachtHunters]

there must be a secret handshake for guys like us Hope you do as well as I did good luck

[@Dave-SailsAway]

What a stunner! This is definitely my kind of boat. God's rich blessing on you, Charles, as you weather this storm in your life. Stay strong and always remember, you're never alone!!

[@atxsailor452]

Heart of gold Capt. Q, heart of gold! So a Morris 36 and Chuck Paine in one episode is pulling out all the stops. A rating of an 18 is well deserved on this great sailor! All our best from the Crew of TITANIA to Charlie, wishing him as smooth a recovery as possible.

[@jinx0192]

Charlie I wish you well. Prayers sent, and STAY POSITIVE!!! Take care my friend.

[@jpkatz1435]

Re Mr. Paine. Loved that segment, wish that was MUCH longer, this guy has a lifetime of knowledge to share! And to Charlie, Hang in there man, our BEST WISHES are with YOU!!!

[@YachtHunters]

We'll have Chuck back on for another chat later this spring... you're right, there's a lot of great knowledge there. thank you

[@ThePduncan742]

I really like this site because of the clever and witty humor of captain Q but now see the good captain for his compassionate integrity of his fellow sailor. Good luck to Charlie and will say a special prayer for him..

[@YachtHunters]

Thank you, Philip

[@larryboles629]

Capt. Q another fine job on a "Yare" boat as Robert Perry would say. Thanks a ton to Chuck Paine, what a treat to see one of the legendary designers. Be happy, be safe.

[@roncaulfield5641]

Shout out to Charlie. Captain Q has shown us your boat. The boat reflects the Captain and I love her. I'd sail her around the world in a minute! Charlie fight back and get well. We all wish you well!

[@elandriver6596]

Good luck to you Charlie my trouble was just by pass but I got up and walked as much as possible I think it worked for me

[@armorguy1108]

All of the videos on this channel have been amazing. Captain Q and Randy have a great thing going and I'm a big fan. Thanks for sharing all these boats.

Prayers offered for your friend Charlie. Technology has advanced so much. I pray that Charlie will endure and navigate safe passage.

[@Chris.E.]

I love how these episodes are evolving. What a great treat to have a story of a friend but also a boat designer provide interesting content. Keep up the good work.

[@YachtHunters]

thank you, chris. there's always room for improving the trim of the sails... or the edit of the video ;)

[@27charliee]

God bless you, Charlie!

[@rickydee5863]

Hang in there Charlie .stay strong for your recovery. Really enjoyed the tour of your yacht. Really pretty. You have obviously lavished a lot love on it.

[@dfharris03]

Capt'n Q. Beautiful vessel. Best wishes and fair winds Charlie!! I purchased my current sailboat from a cancer survivor who ultimately lost the battle. . He sailed her through the South Pacific, was an incredible master, and a true gentleman. I learned a great deal from him and rechristened the boat in his honor, she's now called "Fred B. Wood". If you are ever on the west coast I'd be happy to give you and Randy a tour!

[@azv503]

sending Charlie all the love He put on that boat!

[@garymcaleer6112]

My father died of pancreatic cancer. So, if this man can get through this squall, hats off! And may he hear from his family and friends: "For he's a jolly good fellow...which nobody can deny..."

[@jeffcriswell9700]

Love the end of the segment where you talk to the boat designer, excellent addition. Best wishes to your friend in his battle with cancer.

[@leers73]

What cracking little big boat!!! What a great episode!! Wishing Charlie all the strength and positivity whilst he navigates some stormy seas. Thoughts are with you Skipper!!

[@YachtHunters]

Thank you for the warm wishes, Sir Smith

[@JohnLeahy]

Charlie, your brightwork tells your story. Beautiful. Get well. Weather the storm.

[@YachtHunters]

the brightwork is telling, isn't it? 👍

[@averges9871]

Best wishes for you Charlie, hope you recover very soon and thank you for allowing us to view your beautiful vessel.

[@pejoly2]

Charlie must be a man of good taste and character to have picked such a beauty, and maintained her so thoughtfully. Even in storage she shows like a piece of art. Will be praying for you Charlie. Thanks Captain Q, and Randy for your usual stellar production, and for injecting a little something to help us all remember how precious everyday is. Even these winter days put sailing on hold up north, but I actually live in FL now so I could sail everyday. I don't, but I could if my wife would let me.

[@markweaver2188]

This review was a real treat. I have also sent an email to Charlie with my best wishes for a healthy return to his life. I love this boat and hearing from Chuck about it was a amazing value add to this episode. Thanks Captain and Randy.

[@jenrdemldeml8328]

Best wishes to the owner Charley! My best suggestion is to get yourself a golden retriever. A beautiful friend with a heart of gold will keep you smiling in difficult times. Cheers to your speedy recovery!! Ben, Boulder City, Nevada

[@MontagueCristo]

Your content gets better and better with each episode! I love it and its helping me decide which boat I may buy as my first liveaboard

[@solowinterwolf]

Great to meet Chuck Paine, who has drawn some of the most honest and practical craft on the water.

[@VonBluesman]

GOD bless you Charlie. Stay strong, stay busy, stay faithful. I am praying for you. 👍🙏

[@saintnick1552]

Wow .....what a beautiful yacht, and what a beautiful man... thanks Capital Q...I truely wish the best for your friend Charlie, and all his family and friends... special thanks to Chuck Payne for the insight.... your videos are really a special thing....it's guys like that make me proud to be a sailor....hey now.

[@MaShcode]

What a lovingly cared for boat. Everything about it is both rugged and simple. It just has such a great feel to it with a deck and house design that harkens back to mid-century racers. And Charlie, wish you all the best, we’re all pulling for you!

[@Nordener720]

You guys rock. Thank you and your camera man Randy for this great showing of the Morris 36. All around a great boat. I will send Charlie a message and thank you too, as a cancer survivor to mention his struggle in the near future but like many of us will hope that he will win this fight.

[@YachtHunters]

Thank you, Icebound!! Glad to hear you weathered your storm as well!

[@NotOnYourLife]

Get well Charlie and keep fighting! Attitude makes the difference, I have seen the difference a positive attitude makes in my own friends who dealt with this. It may just be me, but this 36' Morris feels larger than the Shannon 39, at least on the inside. I truly liked this one.

[@YachtHunters]

it really does... a little more beam aft helps quite a bit. thank you

[@inixio11]

Calm seas never made good sailors. HOLD FAST Charlie! Love from Vienna, Austria.

[@YachtHunters]

thanks as always, inixio!

[@timothyboles6457]

[@pauldutot2608]

Charlie...You are in my thoughts and I wish you well. You have a beautiful boat that most of us dream about.

[@sailingirwin5489]

Well done Captain Q. Great to get Chuck Paine but not surprised since Mainers are always so humble and welcoming. Good luck Charlie, thoughts and prayers.

[@kevinlytle6215]

Charlie, from one of those lucky enough to have met CaptainQ virtually I hope you know that though one true friend you have now many more. My family and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Remember what was once said during a very dark time, "never give in"!

[@carlosfigueroa8299]

Thank you for the chat with Chuck Paine, and the tour of a great looking boat.

[@YachtHunters]

Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Carlos

[@HuntPierson]

2DAY IS 12 MAY 2024 AND I WATCHED & LISTENED TO THE CAPTAIN TALK WITH CHUCK PAINE . DELIGHTED TO FINALLY SEE CHUCK PAINE & MABY IN HIS OWN WORKSHOP . THANKS ! ! !

[@dmsfour]

First, a shoutout to Charlie & wishes for his strength through this storm of adversity. I subscribed after watching the first video to see 'quaint' and 'downhomey' looks at some oddball boats. Boy, was I undersold! As the series evolves, in every video there are short glimpses that there is far more to "Captain Q" than meets the eye. Today's: 'Oh, by the way, here's Chuck Paine'; erases all doubt.

[@ericfredrickson6296]

We are all pulling for you, Charlie! Keep fighting and fair winds.

[@sailingarista]

Let the wind be at your back Charlie! Beautiful boat and the memories will never go away, thanks for sharing them. Sending prayers and love to you and all those around you.

[@YachtHunters]

Thanks, will do!

[@georgec4917]

Beautiful boat and so well taken care of. Out of my price range. Best wishes to Charlie, my Doctor was dignosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago. He's still practicing Medicine now, because he's doing what he loves.

[@arremsea]

Fantastic episode. Truly a treat hearing the designer's input

[@peterwilliamson8721]

Hi Charlie I hope you have a positive result with your medical problems and that things improve for you, you have a great boat and if captain Q can't sell it nobody can. .

[@YachtHunters]

lets hope and hope some more

[@stewtube1240]

Very Beautiful sailboat design from Chuck Payne !!1 Great interview with Chuck !! All the Best Charlie .....stay positive !!

[@petec9686]

It was so awesome getting the interview with Chuck Paine. He looks and sounds like any ordinary Maine fisherman or farmer (OK, his downeast accent isn't as thick), but this man is right up there with DaVinci, Rembrandt, Picasso, etc.... An absolute genius.

[@louisbunton679]

Beautiful boat & a great review by Captain Q. & Randy! I wish you well Charles with your stormy weather.

[@gustavemathews8368]

So sorry about the storm Charles. I lost my only brother, also Charles, because he didn't have enough time. If he did I would have encouraged him to check out the diet for a small planet. I had a department head who used it successfully with ovarian cancer. Not sure if it would work with pancreatic cancer. My brother loved to sail. Your boat is a beauty, I am glad to have seen it. Hang in there!

[@jerryf609]

Thank you Captain Q and Randy for the tour of a beautiful boat. Best wishes for you, Charles on this particularly difficult journey. I hope for the best outcome anyone could expect. Prayers for you and your family. Keep your chin up. I'm one of many who look forward to you hosting Captain Q and his crew on your lovely boat next spring.

[@davidcole2441]

Hold fast Charlie. You will make it through this storm! Wishing you the best! Beautiful boat!

[@TheOldBreed1969]

Captain Q I have been around boats my whole life I was a commercial in Alaska for 10 years in another life and have owned several boats. I always learn something new everytime I watch an episode love all the back history please keep it up.

[@YachtHunters]

Coming from you a real compliment thank you

[@dalethorp3687]

Captain Charles, Prepare for Battle Stations, prepare for underway. Cast off lines, full speed ahead. I will be praying for you on this fight. My only regret is not being able to make your sure you had a full stomach under my watch. God speed brother. MS1/SS.

[@vinniemontrealangler]

All the best to Charlie in his life challenge. Ill speak for all of us in Quebec. Capt'm, are those suspenders getting wider? hahaha. Great episode.. Loved the wood trims on this boat. Great find. Hope she finds a new owner that can maintain it to its high quality. Great work guys. Stay safe.

[@YachtHunters]

thank you, sylvain... the suspenders do have a little winter stretch to them... we will trim them in come spring.😄

[@paultarditi908]

Prayers for you Charlie, just finishing my own voyage with neck/throat C (it put my boat shopping on hold, but thanks to CaptainQ every Thursday it became a little more bearable as something to look forward to) only 2 more radiations and 1 Chemo left, hang tough, hope to see you out on the water soon.

[@YachtHunters]

Hang tough, Paul.... we're sending good wishes right back at you!! You've got this!!👍👍

[@oscarbolado4429]

Charles, fair winds and best wishes from Chicago. What a great boat! Thank you Captain Q for another nice episode. In enjoyed the special guest section. Cheers!

Always Fair winds with following seas. Keep sailing in your heart and soar like an eagle in the skies. May you beat this storm with fierce passion and soul because sailors never die.

[@mikemcallister757]

Thank you for all of your great videos! This Morris is fantastic and talking with Chuck Paine made it special for sure. Sending my best wishes to Charlie for a speedy recovery. This boat won't last long.

All the best Charles; you can beat this Sir, and your boat is a credit to you; what a beauty! Thanks for another great episode gentlemen.

[@Deutschtown]

Nice to see you again Chuck! Lots of water under the bridge.

[@paulcrowdis7443]

Capt. Q is stronger than he looks. While checking the prop by pulling/pushing it with one hand, he said that he put 200 pounds of force on it. That’s one strong old sailor. Love your videos, keep them coming.

[@YachtHunters]

😂

[@js-b783]

Charlie get well soon. Sending my best to you from France.

[@YachtHunters]

Merci, J S-B!!

The production quality of these videos is great. I would watch this over any show on TV (if I still watched TV).

[@reellove6710]

She’s gorgeous. Best of luck Charlie, hoping for a good outcome!

[@MitchellEdwards222]

Swing for the fences Charlie.

[@bertski60]

i have never sailed a foot in my life...i'm too old to start and not fluid enough to buy a sailboat anyways. but every time your video pops up, i spend 20-30 minutes pretending that i'm a serious boat buyer who plans to circumnavigate the world a time or 2. great show this one. great show. so glad i've stumbled upon it so thanks for that. good luck charlie. i sincerely mean it.

[@paulvr3158]

We're all on the same sail Charlie and for each of us sometimes for a while and then forever there's a fair ocean around a stormy cape! May there be one for you! Capt. Q, I do so enjoy and appreciate your work. This is the best quality boatyard-rat habitat available!! Thanks! (Really though, at a time like this, 'Q' ? :-) ) The Chuck Paine interview was a real treat, thanks both. We'd pick the same boats, I am a two boat idiot, and you tempt me sorely. In the future not far away, when a man can no longer get the carbon credit release to build his own sailing vessel, people will look at these boats and the value and gasp. They should be preserved as works of art and naval archeology!

[@kjg31]

best wishes to Charlie, fair winds for future sailing
