NEW 2024 SUMMER BOAT AUCTION - CHEAP SAILBOATS!

[@robertgold2643]

Thanks for including everything in the vid…. Gives an armchair shopper an idea of what floaty things are really worth (which is quite encouraging)

[@sailingsole]

Haha yeah if you want a deal go to an auction. 😂🤙🏼

[@keeldragger]

Watching this from San Clemente Island while I'm drinking my morning coffee.

[@sailingsole]

Rad! Lucky! 🤙🏼

[@DruRoland]

52:00 that was my old dinghy 😂 the Marina took it from us bc we were using the dock rack but didn’t pay the monthly fee, so they snaked it from us. Good to know the homie got it for $65 💸

[@sailingsole]

That’s funny. Sorry you lost your dinghy.

[@WarbirdPylonRacer]

@@sailingsole The auctioneer didn't see the guy with the baseball cap standing there behind him holding his number up! Ooops! 😂

[@benkanobe7500]

Great to see you guys again. My feed was not showing you guys for like 6 months and then you showed up today. Great as I keep thinking about an auction boat. Thanks!

[@sailingsole]

You bet Ben. I haven’t heard from you in a while! I’ve been doing the same thing all this time. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers!

[@bexleymike]

Thanks for this video, Andy!! It was sure great to see Misty in a video again! Good info about those pesky tax liens.

[@sailingsole]

Thanks Mike. I’m trying to get her more involved in the channel but she’s a little shy 😂

[@sampsanity]

I seen the auction announcement a lil to late.. i wouldve enjoyed being there. some good boats on the list. thanks for covering. i hope to make the next one.

[@sailingsole]

Yeah I hope to see you there too. Cheers!

[@Antipodean33]

I'm an Aussie and those sail boat prices are mind blowing, Catalina couldn't get $400 is unbelievable. Some Americans don't seem to realize their country is great on a myriad levels, you are lucky to be American.

[@sailingsole]

Thank you and I agree those are mind blowing prices!

[@MP-qn1jw]

I would have paid $4k for the Catalina. Just one problem, it's in Commifornia. You couldn't pay me $4k to step foot in Commifornia. G'Day Mate!!

[@wayneparry7189]

It was nice meeting you down there that day Andy, keep up the great videos

[@sailingsole]

Thanks Wayne. Nice to meet you as well. Cheers!

[@SailingSea-renity]

Great Video... Nice finally meeting you and looking forward to a trip to the Island.

[@sailingsole]

Thanks and yeah great to finally meet you too.

[@LarryBenson-y3f]

Never pay for a boat or vehicle if they don't have a clean title for it.

[@sailingsole]

Yep or you’ll be in for a frustrating ride.

[@daveg4963]

The Catalina 25 is a steal!!!

[@sailingsole]

It was pretty nice too. Probably the cleanest of all the boats.

[@justdoingitjim7095]

I've been canoeing for over 40 years and $10 dollars for each canoe was insane! That first Old Town sells new for around $1,500. I bought mine around 1990 for $800 and sold it in 2010 for $900. Both of those canoes had the seats with cane inserts, which tend to deteriorate quickly. Mine had the nylon web lacing that was still in good shape when I sold it. Of course this auction was down on the coast where everyone prefers kayaks over canoes. Anywhere inland and those canoes would've brought around $300 to $500 each at auction and even more on Craigslist!

[@sailingsole]

Good to know. I might pick one up next time if there are more.

[@maritimetees2315]

Way to represent the Catalina 30 with your T-Shirt. Thanks for the video, Andy.

[@sailingsole]

I love my C30 shirt. I want a tee in soft cotton. 🤙🏼

[@maritimetees2315]

@sailingsole Andy, buy one and leave me a note. I will make special for you.

[@sampsanity]

Im hoping to get a boat soon. I have always wanted to sail and im looking forward to it. Im going to take some classes and one day im going to build my own boat. I look forward to more videos soon.

[@sailingsole]

Don’t let the dream die. Keep after it and it will happen. Cheers! 🤙🏼

[@fregriotis]

Hi I wish you would do like a show with all the California Auctions San Francisco and all the auctions up and down the coast

[@sailingsole]

I may start to visit other auctions if that’s what y’all want.

[@alexmikhael5061]

wow there is lots of room on that big old CARVER compaired to the 25footer sailboats!!! :) wow

[@sailingsole]

😂🤙🏼

[@smokenjoe4022]

The Carver is a great candidate for home conversion! The engine room would be the new galley! The old galley would be the now office!

[@sailingsole]

You would put the galley in the engine room? 🤔

[@timkibodeaux2813]

You definitely need to be cruising or sailing around the world to truly have fun.

[@sailingsole]

Why?

[@sailingsole]

Have you done it or are you an armchair sailor?

[@MrJerobona]

So the Carver sold for 31K, is the 13K lien extra? 44K total?

[@sailingsole]

Yes. $44k total.

[@williamwiese9963]

How can we follow these boat auctions?? Is there a website? Great video

[@sailingsole]

Yes. At the end of the video there are web addresses on the screen to get on their mailing list. O forgot to put links in the description so I’ll do that when I get home later. Cheers! 🤙🏼

[@SoCalSurfer69]

Had granddaughter birthday party and couldn’t go or that 30’ would have been mine, steal at $900.😮 Catalina 25 is a great boat.

[@sailingsole]

I know. I was super surprised it didn’t get any bids. There’s a cult following for those little Catalina 25 Poptops. Strange it didn’t sell. Sad.

[@wonderboy6511]

Great stuff as alway, Andy! Thanks

[@sailingsole]

Thanks James

[@waltobringer2928]

Thanks for clarifying the thing about liens. I've been wondering about that.

[@sailingsole]

It never crossed my mind until I was told about it. I’m glad it came to light.

I Just got to the catalina pop top.. IM SO SAD RN.. I would have got that... wouldve been perfect.. maybe itll be at the next auction, I gotta make sure i get there.

[@sailingsole]

Sometimes the same boats are there. Hopefully they keep that one to sell in the Fall auction.

[@francoisl7663]

Good to know about liens.

[@sailingsole]

Yeah I’m surprised this detail hasn’t surfaced sooner but definitely good to know that liens are a factor.

[@aquious953]

Carver would be ok if the engines were ok. Just pay someone to clean it up. Probably have to drop $30,000 to get it completely ready.

[@sailingsole]

Yikes. I wonder if they are ready for that.

[@leonardocentenario91]

Thanks for your videos

[@sailingsole]

You bet Leo. Cheers! 🤙🏼

[@blackout5160]

So what if you bought a boat with leans on it and sailed off in to the sunset, like took it to a different country?

[@sailingsole]

Then you would technically have an unregistered (possibly stolen) boat that you would never be able to get insurance for so you better go places that don’t require you to have insurance or paperwork. Just stay out at sea forever! That would be a good plan.

[@donaldperson948]

The Auction company should be legally tell you if theirs a Lein on them or back taxes, Or they should give your money back! They should also give you paperwork or a title! 😮

[@sailingsole]

They didn’t use to tell you but now THEY DO TELL YOU since someone raised a question about it.

[@johnnyjr38]

What is the power???? Engine Room is important!!

[@sailingsole]

You gotta come see for yourself if you want those kinds of details. Cheers! 🤙🏼

[@damage_control_sailing]

Cool studio, brother. Crazy how the sailboats didn't sell for $400.

[@sailingsole]

Thanks. It’s just my desk in the living room. Yeah that’s just wild they did t sell.

[@Shepherdservices317]

Nice intro bro 👌 man I want that catalina

[@sailingsole]

The C30 sold. The C25 Pop Top got destroyed because nobody bud on it. It was nice too.

[@spoockeErazor]

Why is this never online.

[@sailingsole]

What do you mean? Have an online auction? Yeah right, people would bid and outbid each other then not pay. It would be a fiasco and wouldn’t work.

[@franciscoespino43]

Hello just wanted to know if you have info on the next boat auction in long beach

[@sailingsole]

Hi there. Not yet, I’ll put out an announcement as soon as I have any word. Cheers!

[@gregm8418]

The craziest part of this video is, why are you wearing long sleeve shirts and jackets in June/almost July?

That’s what you are thinking about? 😂

[@gregm8418]

@@sailingsole I’m in South Carolina. We were shorts and tee shirts from March to the beginning of December.

Gotcha. My wife gets cold real easy but I just liked sporting my Catalina 30 shirt. I supposedly have a tank top version coming which would’ve been nicer to wear.

[@tanyalove6983]

I may not be too bright but I know about house taxes but boat taxes??? How they be💕owing boat taxes. Where do boat taxes come from

[@sailingsole]

I think it is registration and overdue slip fees or the property tax on the slip for the duration of overdue slip fees. I’m not sure exactly but I do know that there are property taxes included in my municipal slip fee.

[@benhill7581]

I need a Kayak lol, I would love to have bought one or two of those.

Come to the next one in the fall. There are always kayaks there for sale. At the end of the video is a web address on the screen to sign up for the mailing list.

[@dougfaulkner6799]

Some great deals. Cant believe nobody bid on the Catalina 25.

[@sailingsole]

I know! It was in good condition too. Someone could trailer that boat. I bet they would sell it still if someone asked to buy it.

[@dougfaulkner6799]

@@sailingsole if i wasnt in Idaho, i would. They are a great little lake boat and ive sailed a few. Plus, with a trailer you can work on them at home.

[@daveg4963]

​@@sailingsole I just bought a keel boat trailer. 🤔

[@PKAdventures]

😥maaaan you have no idea how bummed i am that i wasn't able to make it.... i was all packed up and ready to go, doing my last couple checks around the house, turning the water and gas to the house off, making sure there was no food that would go bad in the fridge... then on my way out the door i noticed a stack of new mail had been delivered. i opened it and apparently something changed with my disability, and i have a few appointments i have to make over the next couple weeks to get everything set back up properly, and if i miss any of the appointments, especially the one on Monday that i have to do in person, i could lose my health insurance and stuff. if i was there i 100% would have bought that Catalina 25 $400 and no lien??? ya i'm 6'2" and it's short, but i would have just planned to pop the top, glass it in, and make it permanent so it would be tall enough for me to stand in while cooking and doing dishes and stuff. and with a boat that small i could have setup a sculling oar instead of getting an outboard. and i would have bid on a couple of the SUPs and kayaks to use as a temporary dinghy so fucking bummed man

[@sailingsole]

That sucks man. Sorry you couldn’t make it. They said there would be another auction in the fall this year.

[@PKAdventures]

@@sailingsole well all my insurance stuff and everything else should be taken care of way before then, so as long as it doesn't line up with a couple of weddings i have already committed to go to, or anything else like that, then i'll be there for sure

[@finessefinesse3653]

Im from Australia. So what happens if i bought a boat and shipped it to Australia and didnt pay the lean?

[@sailingsole]

I don’t know. I’m pretty sure they will not release it to you until you pay the lien. So basically you would loose your bid money and get nothing.

[@Rodrin-kw9hk]

Where do you go to find out about the auctions

[@sailingsole]

There is a web address at the end of the videos and in the description to sign up for Long Beach’s email list. You need to join their email list to get notified.

[@brianmakowski4856]

If I was looking to by a boat at this auction would you check out the boat, give feedback and bid on it ? Obviously you’d be paid for your time… asking out of curiosity

[@sailingsole]

Hi Brian, no I could not do that for you. There are legal papers to sign if you are bidding and you need to do it yourself. Cheers!

Haha that’s funny. Who are you? Link with pic?

[@sailingsole]

They have not announced when it the next auction will be. When I was there at the summer auction they said there would be one in the fall but that's all the info I have as of now. Stay tuned and I'll put out an announcement once they give us a date. Cheers!

[@afaj2007]

@@sailingsole Thx

[@MrJerobona]

At this auction, if you win the bid of 5K and the boat has a 10K lien, does it mean you have to pay 15K? (of course + auction fees)

[@sailingsole]

It means you have to go pay the lien to whatever county it is owed then you pay the marine the price of your bid to get the boat. You don’t pay the marina the lien amount.

[@francoisl7663]

Looks like this could be a good spot to get a dinghy

[@sailingsole]

Yep, or a SUP or kayak. 👍🏼

[@odiasdumezil8982]

When and where is the next one I think you doing great.

Hey brother, question here. What video editor do you use on your videos. I see it on your pc screen however I cant identify which it is.

[@sailingsole]

I use Adobe Premiere Pro. Cheers!

[@knowledgeandmultiskilled]

Dammit if that boat is truly worth $100,000 then I could have bought it. $31,000 was maximum bid then I would have bid $32,000 in hopes that could win it then sell it after I buy the big boat, for what it is worth then try to get another boat. Is there a website that people can sign up to bid, for boats at the auction? Unfortunately the auction is somewhat far from where I live. If I somehow end up participating in an auction, and winning a bid then I can travel to the USA, and pay, for it in person, or on a website if this is possible, for me to do.

[@sailingsole]

That would be great but you need to be there in person to bid. I wonder if they’ll ever change it.

[@knowledgeandmultiskilled]

@@sailingsole I hope, so. Because I could have been the highest bidder. I am still looking on the internet to find out how I can bid on different size American boats. I know this is possible, for me to bid on American boats on a website, but I cannot find anything like that big boat yet. I am noticing smaller boats that are placed in auction. I think it would be nice if Americans put larger boats, for auction as well.

[@RuhRohRaggie069]

call me crazy but as for the Sailboats would interesting to know about Sail inventory on the boat, I know Im weird

Any chance you kept contact with $900 Catalina Sailboat guy? I wonder if he found any major issues after purchase?

[@sailingsole]

I did keep in contact, the engine started but not easily and it is likely the normal issues; old or dirty fuel, clogged fuel lines etc. For the most part it seems like he scored pretty good but it will still need to be gone through.

[@bryanprevost6100]

Unbelievable that it went for that. Was there a lien on it? They go for 15k minimum here.

I’m just a spectator that films it. It is in person only.

[@maritimetees2315]

Its sad that the State just does not go after the owner of the Tax Lien. 😢

[@sailingsole]

I’m sure they try to collect. The boats are stored for a long time before they are auctioned likely for legal purposes but if the fees and liens are never paid then they are trying to get rid of the boat another way and recoup some money before they have to spend money to haul them out and send them to the landfill. I recently learned there is a state fund for this purpose alone but I don’t know many details.

With a $2580.44 Lien to pay... gonna cost double that to put it right, for not to even worth $2k when its done.

[@sailingsole]

I beg to differ. You can’t get a sailboat that nice for $5k. Of course there are variables that can cost money but he wanted it for his family to use and was willing to fix it up. That’s much better than the landfill but there will certainly be people talking crap about it.

Ridiculously cheap. The Old Town Canadian canoe they sell for between £400-£700 ($520-$900 USD) each here in the United Kingdom. The Walker Bay looks like the 8FT version they sell at £400 each here in the UK, if the Walker Bay 10 they sell normally sell at £500-£600 each.

I think it’s different when your boat has exhausted its grace period at its slip. Different thing about property tax forfeiture, those people can drive by the house they built which the county sold for back taxes.
