Thank you!

[@nena4215]

I can see why you purchased Blue Pearl, what a tour! There are so many unique spaces, outstanding, the kitchen sink is definitely a one of, holy cow, it’s huge, I’ve never seen one like that. That bar though, wow, so many wows, what a vessel, your mansion on the water, gorgeous!!! Thank you for the professional realtor tour, I am SOLD!!!!

[@SailingBluePearl]

Awwww Nena❤️ Thank you so much! We always look forward to your comments🥰🙌 You’re so sweet!

[@stephenmurray9850]

Fantastic yacht. I have never seen fridges that huge in my life, amazing. They have packed so much into 65 feet. Thanks for the wonderful tour.

[@SailingBluePearl]

Awwww thanks so much! Yeah those fridges where a huge selling point when we first walked on this boat!

They’re shooting the interior with a (very) wide angle lens😜.

[@SailingBluePearl]

Thank you so much, Matt!

[@markwhitney5395]

Pretty boat - I'd love to see you guys do a video that takes stock in your purchase costs and refit costs to date. That sort of info is very helpful to those of us who are shopping and deciding between getting an older boat with more refit $ vs a newer one with presumably less $ to spend for updating. Thanks!

[@SailingBluePearl]

Great idea, Mark! We have the data so we’d be happy to put something like that together. Stay tuned!

[@markwhitney5395]

@@SailingBluePearl What I think is especially interesting was your approach to buying the boat "as is"? That's at odds with most recommendations, and it looks like you did a post purchase survey? Anyway, I'm very interested in the nuts and bolts and $$ of the purchase and refit. Thanks and I look forward to seeing more vids.

[@SailingBluePearl]

@@markwhitney5395 good points to cover in the video!

[@Chris-zo5ze]

He just made the video you requested!!! I think they did great with the purchase. Seems like they had some rough dealings with some contractors, but all in all I think they did very well for themselves.

[@clayrowe3509]

I bought a brand new Irwin Citation 38 at the Annapolis boat show in 1985. They are beautiful boats. Especially inside. But they do have their faults. Within 5 years, I had a blister problem below the waterline. Be sure to check for that when you haul out.

[@SailingBluePearl]

Good to know! Thank you for the heads up. We love the Annapolis boat show, hoping to go in the near future, now that we have a boat! lol

Just found and subscribed to your channel. I'd say that she would be around 250k with the upgrades not including the skiff. Truly a live aboard world cruiser. I guess I'll catch up on your other videos and see where you have been. Fair winds and following seas to you.

Beautiful inside. I love the beam on these boats because it feels less cramped. Curious how much list you get on windy sails. Or if her wide beam results in less leaning.

[@SailingBluePearl]

Thank you! She heels over about 10 degrees, so far anyway, with the sailing we've done!😊

[@MichaelJohnson-rc1kp]

That is a great vessel! My dream of sailing the globe is a little more clear now as I know what type of boat I want. How much s the performance while under way?

The kitchen with dishwasher, the big fridge, the washer and dryer, the library, the vanity, the multiple bathrooms!!! Ahh I love it. Did you guys have sailing experience before buying this boat? Did you learn everything as you went? Thank you for the lovely tour and it was shot so well!

[@SailingBluePearl]

Thank you! thank you!🥰 Yes, 5/3 crazy right!? My hubby had professional training and we did a bunch of sailing in San Francisco, CA. But we had not ever sailed a ketch until now! It’s been a learning curve, and lots of fun!🙌

[@harpoon_bakery162]

always wanted to know what it's like trying to sleep in roaring waves in a storm in a ketch this big? I would assume it's not that hard because she's so big. Sleeps 13.... two in the Captain's quarters (2), two each on each side (4), library (1), workshop (2), main gathering area (4) = 13....... did I get that right?

[@SailingBluePearl]

We haven't experienced roaring waves much with her, yet. We have had quite the swells though, it's doable, but it can feel like you're going to roll right out of bed!😂 Yes to the sleeping arrangements!

not sure if your already doing - but at work we had planned mtce on all fire alams and safety eqpt etc that used batteries - the date was 1/4/.... eg April fools day as you would be a fool to forget We change them all as it was cheaper than having an event and the alarm unit had a flat battery

I just saw your budget video and then came to see the tour. IMO, you guys are doing GREAT being into this boat for roughly 270k. She's big and beautiful. I'm sure she didn't look ANYTHING like this when you got her, but it sure seems to have paid off! Cheers to higher highs!
