May I ask what exactly is a Yokel Lot Club sir? 🤔😉😁

Another great HTS video. If you don't want to go as far afield as Panama, the Caribbean, etc its worth taking a look at the ports in the US where boats get left for long periods of time. On the east coast, this includes Deltaville, VA (a known place for Europeans to leave boats when they can't face the sail back, plus its low cost and US boats get left there), Annapolis, MD, Brunswick, GA (the marina, a known hurricane hole), and Indiantown, FL. When you look at the listings you might not feel the prices are that great. But many of these boats have been sitting there. Talk to the broker. I've had brokers tell me, after seeing a boat, researching that boat etc "please, just make an offer, the owner's very flexible".

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Absolutely

[@swimcat2333]

Excellent advice, one of these towns is in my neighborhood

[@dbc7772011]

Excellent photos and videos to emphasize bad times to be a boat seller. I grew up in WNY, boating in Niagara River, Lake Erie, finger lakes, awesome fresh water during summer and early fall, but rest of the year is brutal.

[@sailingwiththeerros9139]

As a soon to be sailor your videos are extremely helpful, thank you.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Awe thanks 😊

This is awesome information. My wife and I have just started searching for our new floating home we're definitely going to have to take a trip down there with the boys and spend some time looking. Hope to see you all out on the water soon. #COLDKARMA

Aloha from beautiful island of Kauai ! I am looking sailboat to buy from 28 footer to 35 footer

[@3-DtimeCosmology]

Did you get that boat?

[@eljefe1153]

Very good and honest video. Is there any surveying guide lines for fiberglass boats like a good book for newbies? Saludos de Santo Domingo.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Did you watch this yet ? If not watch this other video from me, I can recommend a book as well but this video is a great start kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKGblWiigLeYpqc

I noticed that most of you marina shots in #2 were of Fajardo, PR.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Good eye Sir, that is where I am currently located, waiting to go south but have to wait for all of these travel issues to get cleared up

[@searscr1]

@@ChasingLatitudes We sailed last October out of that marina with Dream Yacht. We are going to be looking at boats in January in Florida. Hopefully with this Covid thing we can find something in our budget.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

@@searscr1 depending on what your looking for I have a feeling that the usvi might be something to look into for boats soon. I’m seeing a lot come available now here

[@searscr1]

@@ChasingLatitudes Well, we are not looking for a production boat. We have been on a lot of them, and have not been satisficed with their layouts, use of space, and comfort in bad weather. We have been on Hans Christians, Island Packets, Tayanas, and Endeavours to name a few. We liked their solid heavy build quality, sail plans, and layouts. They also had some very ingenious uses of space for storage. Our goal is to sail to higher latitudes, so skeg hung rudder is a must as well as a wine glass shaped hull. Did you ever read the Pardey's books?

[@johnhislop642]

Websites available to find used Caribbean sail boats ?

[@stanfromcleveland7313]

Will you do a video on solar powered boats

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Maybe, just depends, as of now they are far out of reach price wise for the average person. Solar power and sailboats, yes I've done one of those. But an actual fully powered solar vessel , maybe

[@balancexpoint8362]

I finally sold the house and have been looking for the past year studying up on boats. I'm not the best when it comes to finding these deals you're mentioning on all of your vids as right now It feels like I'm finding just a bunch of beat up boats with over priced values because everyone is trying to buy one. I'm currently looking between 42-48 ft with about 50-55k budget. More on the 43-46, but that's my search criteria. I've found a couple of decent layout boats but then when I look into the model holding a comfort ratio of under 25 I dont bother with it.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Where are you located ? In the states currently it’s a rough one

[@balancexpoint8362]

@@ChasingLatitudes @How To Sailing currently in California, but looking anywhere in the states and just checked a bit in Bahamas/islands last night because of this video, but it was hard to come across anything decent. I appreciate you videos they are helpful

[@volkusa5808]

Very few deals to be found on the islands, better to look closer to home and look for estate liquidation sale..

[@stormtrooper9404]

Really really tough... with that budget, you're unlikely to find decent 35-38ft even before the pandemic crazy! I'd say next to imposible now! And am still talking Tayana's,PSWs,IP's and such. But hay, good luck.

[@Shepherdservices317]

Sadly I live in wyoming, I'd like to sail but doesn't seem like I'll be able to.

[@B-Th-Change]

Hello again. So it seems like there is a lot of controversy surrounding sailing from Baja CA/Mexico through the Panama Canal to the Atlantic. What is the big issue with that?

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Cost

[@B-Th-Change]

Ahhhh ok, I have been looking through forums and what not and some people have made it sound very treacherous but it seems like if one took their time it wouldn’t be a big deal. I’m trying to figure out where the best portage would be cause I have most of my family in Arizona and California but want to be able to make the sail over to the other half of the fam in Uruguay.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

@@B-Th-Change it will cost you around 8k just to go through the Panama canal alone. To go from some where like let's say California, down through the Panama canal and over to florida would cost you some where around 20k. Where is it you are located and where would you like to sail ?

[@radnwavy]

[@dapooramericanhomesteadfar7192]

I thought boats are designed to sail in hurricane. What happens if we hit one at sea? Can we survive?

[@stormtrooper9404]

Some boats can and will, others can be lost! I'd say its more to the captain itself than the boat! Altough a good, tough boat and a little luck is always welcomed. And thay would be the ride of your life if you ever managed to find yourself in the middst of a hurricane/typhoon.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

If you manage to have such bad planning that you wind up in a category 4 or 5 hurricane its all just luck at that point if you survive

[@my2sats.106]

i too will try to join my yocal lacht club

[@antonvo9086]

So where is the boat that you bought or is it that you never done this yourself before.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

My current boat you mean ? I live on it full time, currently in Puerto Rico and will continue south after these travel issues. . Need me to send my sailing resume some where ? You plan on hiring me for something or just attempting to troll comments because your bored ?
