This WEIRD and AFFORDABLE Boat Can Take You ANYWHERE [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

[@outerbound7136]

She's basically a glass Rafiki with a custom dodger. Super nice. Thank you Colin Archer.

[@skyak4493]

It's not weird, it's just old. This is what a full boat world cruiser looked like in the late 70s. The fact that it is still completely functional 40 years later confirms they were not wrong. It might be a little bit slower, but it will always have a balanced sail and easy motion.

[@PanicAttackOshawa]

No one said it was non-functional, it's ugly by today's standards and if you're buying it you're buying it today, not 40 years ago. Unless you are in it for the nostalgia or are a fan of this style (which is fine) you can find other options.

[@johnproudlock1085]

Not ugly. Beautiful hull. Better sea boat than many of the new designs of today.

[@norml.hugh-mann]

Slower but more seaworthy and much stronger hull than ANYTHING manufactured today

[@norarivkis2513]

It would look fine with the cushions recovered.

[@timonalexandr151]

@@PanicAttackOshawa Outside ugly or inside ugly? Except for the 50 ft boats from 2016 onwards, all sailboats more or less have the same interior design, with congested interiors. Only the recent 50 ft boats are built like apartments on water.

The little hatch is also a dust sweep ....

[@haydenwatson7987]

The only thing wierd about this boat is the color. Great layout inside.

[@careylogan7639]

I was so impressed with this boat I did some further research. The boat is basically bullet proof. Fiberglass hull with Airex core. You'll never have to worry about core rotting out. The boat, The Slocum boats, were built by Formosa. For single handed sailing this is my dream boat. Looking at other Slocum boats this one is the nicest one I saw. The icing on the cake was the wood stove. The candle on the cake was the tiller. Jordan, totally awesome.

[@ellelyn2000]

Hi just curious about the tiller preference , would you like to share. Thanks

[@careylogan7639]

@@ellelyn2000 I was remarking on how beautifully sculpted it was. You just don't see that high wooden art on boats anymore.

That looks like an Ed Monk design, a Skookum 34, his last from1972, I think. Skookum Boats from Port Townsend made them and sold bare hulls and decks.

[@jayknight850]

Did you mention any sort of self-steering? Very important on a traveling boat. In the aft laserette it looked as if a rudder position transducer installed but don’t see any other components. Nice boat.

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

I'm pretty sure that in the notes at the end it mentions that the boat is equipped with an auto-pilot.

At 10:10 it is not an access panel but a very useful dust collector : when sweeping the floor (which is usually done several times in a day as tiny spaces get dirty very vast). Instead of struggling with broom and dies pan you just seemp you dust in the collector … et voilà! I made one myself on my own boat. Of course under that you have access to the bottom of the boat, here a sump pump I suppose… BTW this is not a weird boat ! Where did you gt this notion? It's only an old boat designed very well with many proven little practical gizmos that make life easier at sea. Not like those modern tupperware that have been designed by people who spend a few days at sea each year…

This is very similar to the Westsail and Crealock boats from the 70's. Based on Colin Archer designs, these boats were designed and built to take you anywhere in the world safely as long as you did your part. They aren't fast but they are sure.

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

Likewise. I lived in the north for too long chasing the almighty dollar and now that I'm semi-retired my fantasy juices are are on full blast. All I really need now is an experienced sailor to tutor me through the intricacies of sailing and maintaining a boat. I loved the money working up north but I think that I have left it way too long to get out and spend it.

[@jabjab1010]

I crossed oceans in a Sadler 34 and this reminds me of that, but larger and with a full keel, of which I am a huge fan! Amazing boat. Your reviews are very good. I would like some of the detail in the scrolling info to be discussed by you however. For instance, most sails are new, but the 150 genoa is 13 years old, and will be I’m sure very stretched out and low performing. . .it’s a must purchase and it’s thousands of dollars. Other than that, I appreciate your style of review very much! Thanks.

[@treywest268]

A stupendous sailing vessel! I love the layout and design!

[@BeeRich33]

Your 'salon table' is actually called a Butler's Table. The wides fold up so that it can be carried. It comes off your table base, to go wherever it needs, mostly the galley for populating. That's why those handles are in it. You can use it to carry stuff out to the cockpit. That's what it's meant for.

[@norml.hugh-mann]

You can see the base for it when he tours the cockpit in the intro..the circle on the cockpit sole with the square hole in it

[@BeeRich33]

@@norml.hugh-mann Normally there's a lip around the table part on the underside that runs around the top of the base.

[@LearningtheLines]

You got it. Weird in a good way.

[@q.e.d.9112]

Looks like a great live-aboard for a couple. On passage, you hotbunk the quarter-berth and in port, use the forepeak. Great galley, and a clear saloon with a stove for cooler climes. Definitely the best heads I’ve ever seen on a yacht of this vintage. A self-tacking headsail is a boon for short handed sailing, plus its great to be able to tack your way through a crowded anchorage, with zero fuss or clatter. It looks like a thoroughly competent rig to me. I can see her snugged down for the night with a couple of reefs in the main and maybe one in the staysail, surging along through a cloud of phosphorescence in the early, early hours, while her skipper keeps comfortable, dry watch and their mate sleeps snuggly in the quarter-berth just below. Stop dreaming. You’re 80 and those days are behind you now.

Is steel better in your area? Where I go boating got few mined areas from ww2 so not want steel in my boat.

[@Erica_Brenda]

@@johnwright456 My main concern is logs, debris and ice. All of which could lead to issues. A fiber glass boat can be punctured. Steel? No. An by the way, a mine hitting that fiberglass can still damage it. But then mines are likely a lot deeper than these sailing boats. It is not like TV says. they did not bounce on the surface. They were anchored below the water so when they exploded, they punched a hole in a ship that was below the water line.

But they are supposed to be good in following seas. PS - My sailboat was made in Nova Scotia, Canada so I've got that connection to a boat that is moored probably close to where my sailboat was made.

Great boat 🤩, but with respect, there is no such thing as a “vertical windlass”. It’s a “capstan”, a winch with a vertical shaft/drum. The halyard winches on the mast are windlasses. It is mechanically possible to have windlass driving a capstan, so maybe this is where the confusion emanates from? Nice video!

[@davidt1621]

Ever come across a boat with a workshop on board? A DIY guy can make his own from a couple of double berth cabins, but I wondered if you ever came across it since you look at a lot of commercial trawler cruiser conversions. It would be difficult to imagine living without a garage/workshop to build and tinker in. I'm surprised there aren't more mechanics and carpenters in the liveaboard lifestyle. Seems like great skills to earn a living on the coastal waters at various places.
