A Passport 40! Congratulations! Excellent choice!

[@budawang77]

Exciting news. Looks like a great boat. I'm really surprised the rigging lasted 35 years though! Insurance companies (at least in my part of the world) insist on new rigging every 10 years. That's probably overkill, but still...

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Yes, we were surprised at that as well. Time to give her a nice, solid new rig and take her off again!

[@williambunting803]

Very nice boat. I am a huge fan of the fore peak head and would happily convert mine if it was possible. And ...... the beer is right next to the cockpit. Galley is spacious. Nav station handy. Saloon very nice flexible arrangement. Comfy bunks. ✅ Lets get adventuring.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Yeah, we love the galley design, and honestly the head in the forepeak is an excellent use of space!! She is made to live on and sail :)

[@richardwinn8221]

Congratulations on being a one boat owner! We are too are a one boat owner now. We sold our HC43 a couple of weeks ago. Whew! We remain in Panama but are planning to head up to the Sea of Cortez, your old cruising ground. It would be great to finally meet. Best wishes.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Congratulations! Good feeling :) The Sea of Cortez is a special place - we sure miss it!

[@SVImpavidus]

She looks lovely. Before you go to the expense of new rigging, you can get rigging dynamically tested. As well as electrically tested. Perhaps something that would save you a few bucks? Looking forward to a full boat tour and sorting the mast stepping. Engine looks well maintained. Moore Danger Mouse quotes please! 😁 Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@SailingYachtSaltyLass]

Ant - The rigging is 1985. It needs to go. I just hope they pulled the mast out to do it and replaced the step with something that will last until the next re-rig. They might as well do one easier project than two tricky ones.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

As much as we'd love to save some bucks, Salty Lass is right... no way 35-year old rigging is safe for offshore sailing, stainless is just too brittle and bound to fail at some point at that age. Rigging is nothing to skimp on. But not to worry... lots more Ty Danger Mouse fandom coming your way! ;)

[@SVImpavidus]

Agreed Stainless work hardens and becomes brittle. As do all metals. However dynamic testing, dye testing and electrical impedance testing are recognised in engineering as suitably sufficient if carried out by competants. Afterall, these are used in the aircraft industry and bridge building/testing for airworthiness and insurance certification. Notwithstanding that if it were us we would replace all the standing rigging, the chainplates and associated fixings. But, there just may be some parts that some of these procedures will save you a small fortune. Which is the point we were trying to make. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@gbachnik]

I have missed you guys greatly! Really glad to see this video! What a wonderful surprise! So let's get on with it! Seriously, you guys were like the 2nd sailing channel I really connected with and then you were gone doing a van. I sure am glad that didn't satisfy. I am very excited you're back, bless you guys and this boat and your projects!

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

We're so excited to back as well! Feels good to be back on track!

[@robertcolvin3182]

Congratulations and welcome back. You've been missed.

[@johnjcoxiii9401]

I'm so glad to see you back on the water. I have missed you while you were RV'ing mainly because I spent 20 years with my wife RV'ing in the US, Canada, Mexico, England and Ireland. She passed away in 1998 so RV adventures do not interest me. BUT NOW you are back afloat and I am with you all the way. Wishing you Fair Winds, Calm Seas and Safe Anchorages at the end of every Passage. the Old Coastie.

[@bootybandy]

At last, back on the water where you belong. I wasn't interested in anyone's road trip, but when you popped up on my timeline again with the mention of a sailing yacht, I again subscribed to the Channel. Welcome back, Hilary and Tye, although it's been me that's been away. Looking forward to your sailing adventures/repairs/projects over the coming months and years.

[@frankrice5364]

Georgous boat guys

[@danieloliver20]

An awesome designed boat! It's great that you're a "one boat owner" again, enjoy San Diego...

[@capnordest]

Glad to see you back with a boat. She looks like a nice sturdy yacht. Looking forward to your new adventures and so happy you are one boat owners again!

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

So are we!! Cheers!

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

Another great Bob Perry design simular to this Passport is the Islander 36 I was looking at with the V head area & pullman berth. Congrats on a great boat. Looking forward to future vids again.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

The head in the forepeak sure is a great use of space, and we think the fear of the design is a bit overblown - most of your time is not spent on passage. Perry does some nice boats for sure!

[@kbark27]

I am so happy to see that you have found a path back to the ocean! I've been following your journey from the Columbia river 5 years ago. I hope to follow you for another fiver or more aboard Yaringa! I wish you fair winds and following seas!!!

[@kbark27]

My name is Kurt Barkalow, sorry for the odd KZbin name.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Thank you, Kurt, you’ve been with us for a long time! We feel honored that you’ve joined us our journey all the way from Columbia. Excited to have more adventures to share now 😁

[@HammerRocks]

Congratulations. Good to see you guys going back on the water. Looking forward to the following boat project videos.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Hopefully not tooooo many project videos! ;) Haha, thanks!

[@SailingWithVampires]

That dream transition was awesome! 🍄

[@sailingbrewer]

Glad to see your back to boats. I'm back as a faithful viewer and subscriber

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Welcome back!

[@z_actual]

same as Pearsons, steel step, salt water bilge check the end of the mast VERY carefully you might end up pulling the mast out and cutting 2"-3" off it, like I did which means the step has to have a raised section and at least 2" of holding around it I made a new step out of 316 stainless, however I think if I did it again it would be ally due to possible electrolysis

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

We were expecting this, but stay tuned for tomorrow's video - we were surprised!

[@tirmikj5]

i like to watch you. cause you have such a relaxing enegry, and full open mind ... i love this

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Thank you, that is a lovely compliment :)

[@bodywood]

Best news today. So glad you two have found your way back on the water.Congratulations.

[@7LeagueShoes]

Nice to see you on a Perry boat. I've got one that I'm slowly rebuilding. Bob is a great help if you have any questions about the boat, and he's only as crotchety as he claims to be about half the time. The fan club is also a great resource.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

We’re so happy to be a part of the Perry club, love following the discussions on his FB page. Good luck with your rebuild 😊

[@nickbenfell4327]

So pleased to see you will soon be back sailing.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Us too!! Feels good to be back on the water again! :):):)

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Or not.... the very old built in Taiwan boat is going to be a pandora box with rotted chain plate knees and blisters and a keel full of rusted iron crap ballast and rotten mast step. Did we miss the survey and purchase price???? Me thinks that these people are into making money from KZbin and then flipping boats for more than they are worth!!! Bob Perry would never recommend this boat! It's a cheap ass motorhome not fit for blue water.... But there's always a greater fool.... especially when you believe anything on KZbin!

[@rhirwin10]

Awesome boat and glad to see you didn't swallow the anchor

[@daveobrien9747]

So so happy your back Baby 💪 Awesome boat I can’t wait to see you both out there in the big blue doing your thing💕

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Thank you! We are so happy to back and getting back to our home on the sea :)

[@svbluehighway]

So glad to see you found just the right boat. Might have to tease call you Goldie Locks...lol

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Hahaha, love it!! Pretty accurate ;)

[@johnfahy6353]

I looked at that model great boat . Good luck

[@ernestoquintero747]

Fantastic news, love the interior woodwork. I'm looking forward to detail tour and refit video's.

[@billroberts9182]

To view the mast step, have you thought about fiber optic scopes? They are really cheap now, and connect to an ipad or laptop. For $20 they are plenty long and have built in led lights.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

This would be a good way to inspect, but bottom line we knew we were going to pull the mast to see more and go from there.

[@iancoverdale998]

Great to see you guys back on a boat!

[@neptunesfancy]

Well good luck You will need it

[@barb9124]

I think that boat was in my marina, Harbor Island West, San Diego. I used the bimini as a guide for my new bimini. Beautiful boat, I wondered where it went. Glad it went to a good home. Congratulations.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Ahh how funny! The bimini sure looks good, but we wouldn't mind a few extra inches of height... oh well, projects for the future, right?

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Thanks, we can’t wait to get back south again!

[@cruisingholiday4996]

Great, good luck! Happy to see you both back to the water.

[@fxpthl]

Hey kids, another boat? What about the van rig? Will your parents take that over? Where is the new boat now and where will you take her for outfitting? I assume back in your home port. Hope this boat truly is THE boat for you and that your adventurous travels and once again begin.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Hey Ed! The van was only a side-project and is not ours - we built it out for Ty's daughter and her family, so that's where it will live. As for the boat, yes we hope it is THE boat as well! Ready to get back to adventures on the water :)

[@svbarryduckworth628]

It will be interesting to see how you tackle the mast step repair. You might just have to get medieval with the cosmetic obstructions and just rip them out permanently so that you'll have access both now and in the future.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

We'll show you all the details in tomorrow's video :)

[@susanl435]

Excellent news. I am so glad that things worked out for you. I was worried! My take-a-way from your story is never, never own two large sailboats at the same time. Too risky. It may take forever to sell one of the boats and the easiest boat to sell might be the one you want to keep! Would you agree?

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

Definitely agree with the don't own 2 sailboats part, unless you have lots of spare cash sitting around to pay for moorage! ;) Live and learn...

John krishmer has a good passage 40 overview on KZbin

[@GarryBrinson]

I believe the passport 40 was the model used in the documentary Chasing Bubbles.

[@svbluehighway]

Think Bubbles was a Fast Passage 39 like Andy Stokes sailed on.

[@GarryBrinson]

Ha you maybe right. It has been a while since I watched that show.

[@gymcoachdon]

Wow, I started watching your channel because I kept coming back to the Pearson 367 as the best choice for the wife and I, with our budget, to retire onto with the goal of at least a few years in the Caribbean. Now you have bought the boat I would want if my budget doubles...I guess I will keep watching!

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

And I would still say the Pearson 367 would be an AWESOME boat for a couple cruising the Caribbean! Only reason we upsized is we wanted something with more space for our gear and cold weather stuff and option to have more people on board. Keep that 367 dream alive! ;)

[@MrRourk]

40' is perfect! Can't wait to see more sailing adventures.

[@ChrisMcEvoy]

[@DobDog151]

Nice. Good choice. I’ve read that Passport is a solid blue water boat. And you couldn’t pass on a boat named Yaringa!

Good for you guys, I really like pullman berths over V berths. On 'Sailing Triteia' (kzbin.info/door/gsTVmZXTKrnfXtxATXxUzQ) he helped a friend of his redo is keel step, but on the boat it had decent access to it. I'm glad you guys are back on the water.

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

The access (or lack thereof) to the step was the tough part on this one - but stay tuned, we tackle that in the next episode :)

[@TarasKalapun]

So what was wrong with other 2 boats? First one - too small, second - too big?

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

In very short summary, yes! Outgrew the first boat as our plans changed, made a impulsive mistake buying the big one. Took our time and got it right this time 🤞

Great to see you two back. The teak decks must be an American fad, like the vinyl covered car roofs that made them rust out, I have never been on a boat with teak covered decks, nothing more practical than gel coated fiberglass.

[@danieloliver20]

Oyster, out of Great Britain, built teak decks on their pricey yachts! They're great in cool weather, but a PIA to maintain if there is water damage...

[@AdventureAdriftSailing]

The teak sure does look nice, but it's not really our cup of tea either... A project for future years for sure...

How many times do KZbin couples have to go broke before they give up???
