Atticus II FOR SALE - Ultimate Bluewater Cruiser

If you're interested in buying Atticus II checkout the listing here: www.projectatt...
Four years ago, after years of cruising the Caribbean on a very small boat, Desiree and I set out to find the perfect used Bluewater boat. We traveled up and down the US East Coast, interviewed experts, and got to see a ton of great boats. And after our exhaustive search we landed on a Pacific Seacraft 40. To us it had the perfect combination of a hull shape that prioritized safety offshore, an extremely robust construction, and a very livable interior with minimal compromises. But this boat has only ever been used for weekend sailing and we were blown away by just how much time and expense it took to get this offshore dream boat ready to cross oceans and to live off grid for long periods of time.
We’ve spent the last several years dialing in every single system. And now just as the boat has become the lean mean off grid machine that we had dreamt of, we’ve decided to sell her and move ashore. So we figured now would be a great time to show you a complete overview of the systems and design qualities that we love about out extremely outfitted Pacific Seacraft 40 that is ready to take it’s new owners anywhere in the world.

I'm cryin" over here?😭 Every time we watch your videos we can't resist saying "We should have bought a boat" instead of our RV. You were our fantasy cruising life that we were vicariously living our lives through. Our Saturday mornings will never be the same. We even hiked to the top of Pico because of you two. We didn't even know the Azores existed until we saw it on your channel. They told us they have had dozens of people use their guide service because of you and told us to say "Thank you many times over for introducing them to your viewers". It was a vacation of a lifetime that we will never forget and something we would have never done if we didn't follow you two, (three). You have shown us many parts of the world that we will be visiting in your foot steps. You actually change lives with what you do. Your production values are the absolute best on KZbin, or any other service as far as that goes. Better than anything found on TV

Last Saturday when you announced the sale of the boat I had tears in my eyes making my wife yell at me. Tears because I have been following you from day ONE. Tears because I am in your heart parting from your boat. I sold my last (4 total boats) 4 months ago after 44 years of sailing all over, Greece, Boston and Florida. It’s a disconnection only sailors can understand how hard it is. May the experience you have accumulated in all, amazing video production and story telling help you build an other successful career along with a happy family you 3-4 of you. I live in the Tampa area and anyway I can help let me know.

You have to do what is right and we ALL understand that but just know what you have given us will not be forgotten any time soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope the next chapter in your book is just as exciting as this one had been. God Speed to you two....

Several years ago I got hooked into a bunch of sailing channels. Living the dream floating the world. I really began to consider making a go of the dream and then, all of a sudden, one by one the channels all closed up shop and moved ashore. Really gives perspective of “the dream” when so many give it up.

I wish I was a millionaire. I'd buy this boat in a heartbeat! You guys have provided me with so much entertainment and enjoyment through the years. While I have, of course, enjoyed the sailing aspect of this channel, I have also enjoyed your perspectives on life, seeing how you've navigated challenges and change, your growth as human beings and your heartfelt commentary on so many different situations & places. But, when one chapter ends, a new one begins and I'm truly looking forward to your new adventures. See ya next week!

We have all watched the work, upkeep and upgrades they've made to it since they bought it. Anyway, to each their own and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm sure whomever does buy it will do a thorough survey and ensure they're making a good offer based upon the findings. The boat will be worth what someone is willing to pay for it!

[@bucc5062]

Guys, it has been a great ride with you. I came in to this during COVID and stayed with you. What connected me was your genuineness, your openness to share your daily lives and, of course, the sailing to distant shores. I was so happy when you sailed right through my old sailing area (C&D canal, Elk River, and the Bay) and not just where you go, but how you present the place, the people is very well done. This decision is the right one if you have doubts because you know, the sea is not forgiving of distraction and two yuongun's, well that is distraction extreme. I wish you well on this next chapter and hope you get a good offer for the boat. This next path of yours I cannot follow along with and it does sadden me some. I live on the land, own a small farm with two horses. Your new path is my existing one and one that needed the distraction of something else as I deal with one very sick horse. Thank you for sharing your lives, your stories and I wish y'all the best. We never stop following our dreams when we learn that dreams can change, but the passion remains.

[@DanaerysMOD]

So sad to hear you won't be sailing anymore. As someone who has made many decisions I've regretted, may I propose that maybe you could rent for a year, and keep Atticus until you've had a chance to make sure this is the best decision! Sometimes, having some time and space to really think through a major life decision is a good thing. You should know in a year if it's the right thing, and not an emotional decision. Just my 2 pennies. Either way, I'm happy for you both! Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us over the last 10 years. I think of you as "My Sailing Kids"!! ❤️

[@jrmichel1975]

Hearing your news last week was a succession of a feeling of loss when I thought you weren't going to post anymore, to a feeling of total elation when you said you would continue.

I don't think anybody regrets donating to Project Atticus. Even knowing the outcome people would have still donated. Jordan, I do agree that in your transition you should probably take a moment to thank all of your donors and express your feelings towards them. I don't think any of them would hold anything against you. The viewers of this channel are so unlike other viewers on KZbin. This is a very family oriented group of viewers that completely understands your tough decisions. Your authenticity and honesty has never been in question throughout your adventures. I hope you don't take things hard in any way

With that being said, when you watch somebody's KZbin channel for so long and they take you on so many adventures with them they almost become like family to you, you feel like you know them and you will be missed! 😢 Hopefully, from time to time, you guys do a video to update us on your family and with how you guys are doing! Wishing you guys all the best! ❤

I agree! But also, this doesn't mean you can never do this again! Life is a series of phases and you have to roll with whatever comes along. You may be back on a boat again when your kids are older, or when you are empty nesters! Looking forward to hearing about your new phase(s) of life.

I'm basically where you were when you bought Atticus I, with my "new" 1981 Pearson 365 ketch. Fortunately, she's been very well maintained over the years. But my cruising experience is nil. And so your videos have had a major impact on me. You've taught me so much, so thank you for all of your efforts. I'm so happy that we can enjoy your cruising lifestyle forever on YT. Looking forward to what is to come, but happy that I can still enjoy your crusing life in the rear view mirror. Well done!!!

[@donharman2104]

I'm not sure you guys are making the best decision you can for yourselves. Much of this is generated by a temporary influx of hormones that will pass. I'm not sure if you have been keeping up on real estate prices while you have been at sea. Selling the boat will give you some cash but possibly not enough. What are you going to do now to support your family? Are you a professional? An engineer, teacher, obviously not a doctor. Are you a trades-person, a mechanic, machinest or an electrician? You have some computer skills, are they enough that you could get in as an I. T. for a small company? People will get bored really quickly of watching videos of a regular land based family that look just like their own. This KZbin revenue stream will come to an end really quickly. Are you prepared for that? The advice to keep the boat and run a charter service out of the states is a good one. Think about it for your own sakes.

[@R12390]

Gotta love strangers commenting on a couple’s lifestyle choices. It’s a you tube channel, this lovely couple also have private lives. Assuming they have made a decision “ generated by hormones.” Is so offensive. I’m sure most of us will follow them along, because they are interesting people. I’m sure you can find another channel to judge and project your opinions on. 😅

Watched from the git-go, I wish your family luck. Jordan, you are going to miss it, but have to give Desiree the same as she gave, I always read into she was never fully into life at sea like you, but she powered through cuz she loves you. You can power through this next journey for her. Bon Chance!

This is a knee jerk reaction to something, what? I wonder? After watching you talk about all of the recent upgrades I don't believe you (one of you) were ready to "swallow the anchor". Some decisions you regret for a lifetime. Sometimes you don't realize that, for decades. Then what? Time is the one thing you can never replace.

I too will miss your sailing channel, but I also can't wait to see what's next. Are we looking at a RV life in the future?

My Saturday mornings will fundamentally change. If I were 20 years younger and had a few hundred grand burning a hole in my pocket, I'd buy Atticus 2 in a heartbeat. Also, I have a title for your land based project, "Attic-us". (I know, I was inspired...) BTW, what I liked best about your series is that you not only showed the amazing places you've been to, and getting there, but you also showed every repair and refit you've done on the boat. Its the last that set you apart from all the other sailing channels on KZbin. I'll be here next week to see what's new!

[@harpomorris1909]

I have followed your adventures since the beginning and wish you all the best with your new lifestyle. One BIG PLUS about your beautiful boat is that it has been actively and continuously cruised, so many boats for sale have been sitting on the hard or in the water for months or years. Everything seems to seize up and quit working. If I were in the market to buy a boat, I would choose one like yours that has been meticulously maintained, improved, and lived on up until the sale. All the best, I’m sure somebody will snap it up and be very happy with it!

Every boat has aspects that are big positives for some people and not for others! I agree on the canoe stern-it's beautiful aesthetically and for seaworthiness, but I'm an aft-cabin kind of guy and dream of a wide stern with walk around queen size berth (and a swim platform)! Best of luck and I'm looking forward to your next adventures!

[@tlevans62]

Me too. I also paid for the boat by being a patron and giving to the go fund me. I even paid for a plaque that was going to carry my name, and the name of others who paid for that higher tier because I really believed in their dream. The plaque never happened, neither did their dream of sailing across the Pacific. Seems like a crying shame that they got the boat done up with all the upgrades etc to live their dream, and now they're throwing in the towel. I can understand though, that once you have a kid, it makes what they're doing a lot harder, so I'm not really surprised that this happened. Anyway, I wish them all the best in the future and hope that time shows they made the right decision.

@@Sonnell I don't want my money back. I can understand someone being fed up with a way of life they thought would be great but found intolerable after all. I never did it, how would I know? It's better to admit defeat when you can, instead of living a lie for years and deceive your supporters. But you can't be surprised if we feel somewhat disappointed and disillusioned. Also because - while their personal viewpoint is very well explained and understandable - they never dropped a word about the lots of people who made it possible for them to try it. They could have decided to sail the boat home and live on land a bit till Baby2 gets big enough to consider to continue or abandon. They could have tried shorter sails like BVI or similar. The way it evolved made me think she was cold feet about sailing for quite some time (maybe since Panama but certainly since the Atlantic crossing) and Jordan wisely decided to prioritize family over his passion with sailing. I really wish them the best but in the future I will know better. I donated towards sailing around the world, not towards a family house in Key West.

This lifestyle transition will be interesting to watch. The challenging part now will be deciding where to live in the US. Jordan hates crowds and close neighbors but setting up a home in an affordable remote beautiful area defeats the purpose of living close to family and within a community. It’s the reason why Trent and Ally ended up buying a suburban home after years of building a mountain home which was too difficult for family to visit and be within a supportive community. I’m sure all will end up well if you take time to decide…I’ll be watching and wish you all the best!

outbacks of the world, what makes you think America is the forefront of the world(dont give me science bullshit , i am a scientest), remember the rest of the world was there before America ever existed. Respect is what makes America at the forefront and I guess you dont have much of it.

[@DIYNauticalDream]

You had us when you were just two Buds trying to figure out how to repair and make Atticus I your world cruising dream boat. My Wife and I were inspired by your can do anything approach. We were always so excited when your next video was out. We lived our dreams and adventures through you two. We dreamed of sharing an anchorage with the Two Buds someday in the future. We just always thought you would be out there family and all. We think you should hold off on selling the boat, or at least consider something a little bigger. Jordan I know you haven't lost the dream, it just doesn't go away like that.. I have had the dream since I knew what a boat was. Well anyways, you inspired us so much we bought our own project sailboat. Well now its so long to the Buds and we wish you the best from DIY Nautical Dream

[@tommyc9237]

So happy to hear you are going to continue making videos about the next chapter in your lives!!! As a sailor, Atticus II is an amazing boat. if we didn't already have a comparable (I won't say the brand because I don't want to start the age old feuds) blue water boat, we'd be buying it.

[@harrymerritt7745]

Another one bites the dust

[@terrybyrd4386]

I love your channel. I don't love you two deciding to sell now. After my two times of going through pregnancy with my hormonal wife wanting to move, sell new car, etc.... my advice is to try land life for 6 months, then after the wife and family have gotten in the day to day grove revisit those major changes. I know personally and regret not waiting and moving too fast .

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

Happy wife happy life. Sometimes

[@Sommers234]

@@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk meh...yeah, sometimes. Many of them will never be happy. Just want to run with their whims, have you jump through hoops. Though not for a second do a apply that to this case.

[@angelaandkevingrundy2589]

What a wonderful sales video for your boat. You are so talented creating videos. Looking forward to seeing your new life adventures ❤

[@Spinmoove]

😭we love yall please keep making videos

[@robertbiron]

I am very sad that you are leaving the sailing life but I do understand that you could not anticipate many things like Isa's health condition and you have to do what is right for you. Some mistakes perhaps were made, crossing the ocean while pregnant might be one. But I watched all you did with this boat and can say the new owner is getting a very good boat, that will not be me though, I am too old for that now. I wish you the best, but I am here to follow a sailing adventure and I will miss all three of you. Good luck, stay safe, have fun!

[@johna.245]

Seems like just yesterday you were looking for a new boat. Life flies by.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

It does. Atticus I has not even made it back into the water yet. Maybe in 2025

[@sunnyskies4628]

I’m happy for you all. By the back round it looks like you are already in the states. I hope she sales quickly so you can start your new adventure. See ya around from time to time. The best to all of you ! Thanks for all the adventures you’ve provided.

[@stevecarroll8513]

Your attention to detail and your build skills has turned that boat into a perfect floating home. I will miss your ocean adventures but am looking forward to your onshore ones. The very best of luck with your sale and new search for your land-boat x

[@FionsMcCormick-ox8tb]

Me to I have learned so much from you guys. I have enjoyed your filming and I thank you so much. I hope you will be happy with your new endeavours. I will continue to watch while you are still out putting videos. Thank you once again.

[@kevinsnelson2387]

So many mixed feelings guys! Nearing a decade of following along and always looking forward to sharing in your newest adventure. The boat you've developed is so insanely well thought out and beautiful. I truly don't know how you can let it go. I know the good Lord will lead you into an even better adventure and it will be nice to be back in the States. I hope you end up somewhere incredible and wild so you're not too bored. Having family nearby will be priceless and I'm certain the kiddos will be the better for it. Gotta get that winning mega millions ticket so I can throw a bid at you for that off grid beast you've designed and built. Much love to y'all and will be praying for wisdom and guidance for you.

[@BobHutchins]

I hate to see y’all go, but I wish you all the best. Thanks for all the great content!

[@susandavault8121]

So excited to hear y’all will continue to keep making videos after the sale! Love to you all and great luck to all of your future decisions!

[@4x4_Adventures]

Sad you are leaving the ⛵️ life but just like sailing GBU the channel will die. Love watching you guys every week and will miss your channel.

[@briansurinanikonprofession862]

Knowing what the initial cost and the improvements you made, this is an incredible deal for someone wanting a first class cruising sailboat. Of course, my wish is that you keep her like others have said, charter, short trips and continued adventures. But maybe you have … another plan to keep the channel going, remember it is called “Sailing Project Atticus” best of luck in the future!

[@blueskymut]

So excited for the new chapters. It’s YOU guys that make this channel! No matter what you are doing. We hope to watch many more videos of your lives… our friends we’ve yet to meet.

[@victoriamoore1294]

🥲 going to miss my favorite channel. Will continue to follow to see your upcoming adventures. And watch your babies grow and learn from their amazing parents.

[@jorgegorina3039]

I can’t believe you guys are selling the boat and hanging it up. I actually tearied up. 😢 I started this journey and love for this lifestyle right along with u guys. I wish u all the best and will continue to follow you guys. ❤️🙏🏻

[@nancygerhart4372]

Great sales video! You won’t have trouble selling this quality boat.

[@bootsperformance]

Happy for you guys starting a family but I subscribe to watch sailing and I will miss that

[@lonnieolson3032]

So glad to hear I still get to follow my adopted family, it was because of you I followed not because of the boat🤗👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@leezettb]

She will sell fast, what a great boat. Congratulations on your decision and I am very happy to be following along on your new land adventures.

[@xgp048]

Can’t wait to see your new chapter. Best of luck to you, sad to see it end but lifestyles change. Thx for so many enjoyable years. To the give the boat away people, what’s wrong with you🤣.

[@peterdubyoski4622]

I bought a ketch rigged skooner in Havre de Grace, MD. The Captain failed to hold to the sale because he found a buyer to pay more. I never got my deposit back and soon became homeless. I sure would love a boat to live on.

[@SailingPAPILLON]

Amazing price for her!! Someone will swoop her up no doubt. Congratulations guys on the decision!! ❤

[@nearlyzero9849]

Excellent review of your boat.

[@Flattopk2]

Best of luck in your future endeavors. Thank you so much for bringing us along on trips around the world showing us the things we don’t get to see God bless y’all.

[@dianegriffith3006]

Ditto 👏👏👏

[@sausage5849]

It's a gorgeous boat. I'm sure someone will snap it up.

[@VeetiHuuhka]

I love your's Boat Happy adventures happy Saturday.🇫🇮❤️

[@ray6659]

Sad for the reality of this, but it's understandable. I shed tears for the loss of a dream that is fading...

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

There are new channels who are just starting their journey. Not all is lost

[@tomdebenedittis7491]

Wait a second, what about just how gorgeous the color of the hull is when looking at it from a distance outside the boat, grins. I have always loved that too about this boat.

[@gtrs4ever]

Good Luck! Great sailing and memories of a lifetime adventure!
