DON'T BUY THIS BOAT! Classic Steel Sailboat for Sale - Ted Hood Steel Yawl $119k EP29

[@henryk8253]

This boat ticks so many boxes. Cor-Ten steel hull - it gives you peace of mind while sailing. Large sail lockers - so you can put all your fenders (and other stuff) into them. Proper (and I can't stress that enough) seaberths - a well rested crew is a happy (and vigilant) crew. A stove - keeps you warm on those cold winter nights. Navstation can be described by one word - superb. I could go on and on... Out of all the boats you reviewed, this is by far the best one. Thank you for showing her to us! Henry

[@bruceclark6476]

I am a huge Ted Hood fan, he was a genius. We sailed one of his centreboarders a Bristol 45.5 around the world. It was great for long passages, quick and comfortable. This boat, like ours is heavy displacement and yet sails really well.

Saturday morning. I wake up early, before anyone else, 7:00 ish. I make coffee, fresh orange juice...then I get my laptop and earphones and in total silence I watch the Captain Q's new episode with a big smile in my face.

Cor-ten steel "... so it has a surface of corrosion already built into it ... weathered steel with a protective oxide film covering." You're right. CQ and 'Randaay' together have so much to offer, even if most of us have no earthly idea what an oxide film covering is. At $120k it's a steel :-)

She was launched when I was, though we share an age her condition is much better. I may be retired but I suspect she will never be retired as long as future owners care for her as past owners have. My second favorite boat you have reviewed, the Stevens 47 was number one for me but I am happy her owner has your lineage. This beautiful old girl has been on YW way too long.

[@markgumprecht2295]

I learned how to sail on a 47 foot Ted hood yawl in Marina Del Rey. Also built by Frans Maas in Holland. An amazing boat, same basic set up with a center board. Slightly different interior, I think it actually had an aft cabin to it instead of the large forpeak. It was a real sailing machine, maintained in perfect condition like this one.

[@YachtHunters]

that's very cool would love to know more thanks for your note

[@thebentley71]

Out of all the sailboats this is by far the best on this yt channel.

[@waderogers]

What a nice, classic Ted Hood designed boat. I love the centerboard keel, especially for going downwind in heavy weather (retracted, it reduces the chance of the keel getting sideways to following seas and causing the boat to broach) and for getting into shallow waters, which this steel hulled beauty would love to do here in Southeast Alaska! The bunkboards must take the place of lee clothes, I'm guessing. More secure and less intrusive. About the only modification I would do is to outfit the wood stove with either diesel or propane. So much less work for long distance sailing than wood would be. Plus, if it were diesel, you could run a line from the fuel tank and never really have to worry about having fuel for heat. Thanks for showcasing a lovely, classic, well thought out bluewater boat. "They don't make 'em like that anymore"!

[@k.j.g.9601]

Never sailed myself but as a kid I had rich childhood friend of mine had one and his parent’s would go sailing on the Chesapeake that I was lucky enough to be invited on. I loved it! Captain Q and Randy aren’t addictive as hell!

I have watched this video at least 10 times. I do love this boat. This boat reminds me of a 27ft Royal Viking that I spent many trips on, Catalina, Santa Cruz, Mexico. It was a wood boat that looked like a smaller version of this boat. I think traveling to this boat yard and sailing it to the West Coast is probably the best way to get to know the boat.

[@YachtHunters]

better hurry :-)

[@ironlady2814]

Just a few notes here- first those blisters in the paint will show a problem as this boat has fairing compound on her. I have opened blisters like this with a needle gun before and went straight through the plate.Second, Corten steel is no longer ( as a rule) used in yacht construction anymore. It’s original purpose was to lend a bit of protection if and when the coating was damaged until proper repair could be done. She is a beautiful boat no doubt but you did not show the bilge. Steel boats rust out from the interior and the way Frans Maas built these large portions of her bilge are in accessible, thus if replating needs to be done the interior in that area will have to be removed. They were not built with this in mind! So the above reasons are why she has not been sold. Certainly a boat to be refurbished with her pedigree, but to do it right would easily double the asking price. And one more thing, these boats are true round hulls and because of this replating of any bilge area etc. will required a metal worker who understands plate forming if you want it done right - Steel is great and properly designed and maintained will last forever, but this beautiful old girl needs a proper refit

[@Useless_Knowledge07]

I was wondering why the bilge or engine was revealed!

[@benstameister1]

I have been following this boat for five years. Started at $189,000 then. It is still for sail because of the dated interior I would think. It is nearly 60 yrs old.

[@YachtHunters]

the interior is the great thing not a floating condo and solid and cozy and no chrome or new minimalist looking ikea boat furniture this is a real boat you would be proud to sail anywhere and land to applause wherever

@@YachtHunters I really would not be keen on having to be bent over every time one was using the galley.... the penalty of those wide decks!

[@benstameister1]

@@YachtHunters Captain, This is the most beautiful boat you have done to date. I personally prefer the CCA rule and a yawl in particular. I remember with great fondness sailing the Alden Challenger 30 years ago. The issue is, both you and I are showing our ,,, level of maturity? With that being said, the people half our age are interested in the "condo" look as well as separate staterooms and a more user friendly galley. At 6'3" that galley will be a tough one for me to navigate. I will be heading to Direcktor Marine tomorrow to look at the Beneteau 46 you showed a few weeks ago. I would have gone for the Alden in RI, but,,, as we age, getting in and out of the Beneteau into the tender will be easier than climbing over the side. I actually inquired about this boat several years ago and have the sonar report on the hull showing the thickness. I was going to see this boat 3-4 years ago but the interior was completely disassembled and they would not show the boat. Is this boat being used?

8.5 out 10 dinty meat cans is my score. it´s a beauty for sure, and surely got all the comfort for a blue water sail around the world. But the head and washing in the masters cabin put me off, and it looked little bit cramped. But I guess it all depends on what type we sailors want on a sailboat, to suit each needs. Thanks for the idea of the gimbal table. But a big thanks to both of you, as I´am in the lookout for a bigger boat. Want to shift up from a 23ft Albin Viggen.

She will do a solid 8, effortlessly, an easy 9 if there's any wind at all, and once she gets going, Nothing will slow her down. Max out around 11 or occasionally 12, cracked off. Thing is, she will move a lot faster in light air, keeping way on, than someone not used to medium displacement boats would think. What I like is the level of comfort she provides because I don't get motion sickness on little ships like this.
