Excellent video Chris, just like all of this series. I am enjoying each and everyone of them.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Thank you so much, thanks for the comment, it really helps

[@jefflloyd394]

This was great, thank you!

[@briangrove597]

Great video, some to get a sailboat someday!

[@amyreuthe693]

I'm with you on the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey! What an awesome boat.

[@charlieboudreau2142]

Nice videos. I'd like to comment on your constant LOA to LWL comparison. If the two lengths on the boat you're after is close, the longer LWL will make the boat act differently in the same sea state. While it is true that you probably don't want to pay for area not being used, who would, I would caution that a vertical bow will punch through the waves where as a traditional bow shape will ride up the approaching waves causing less water on the boat. Saying that, there will be less movement on a vertical bow and possibly higher speeds. Keep it up!

[@abstractview]

Good job as usual. I have a 2000 beneteau 331 shoal draft that’s in this category. Deceptively fast and roomy. Good boat.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Love beneteaus , they are my favorite

[@bradypaine3021]

You are really helping me decide what to buy. Thank you for the great videos

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Thays awesome Brady, I am glad I can't point out some vessels for you

[@indecent2486]

Thanks Chris, wish we could get the same prices here in Australia.. your vids rock

[@AzKnight13]

Loving your videos. Hoping to buy my first sailboat (under $50kish) by the end of 2023 and your videos are a great resource especially for someone like me who knew nothing about sailboats before my first ASA class 2 months ago. Cheers

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Awesome, that's amazing

[@dajo4349]

Good videos. I can't find the one you did on waterline length and overhangs determining interior volume and buying a boat newer than 2000 or 2006 (?) vs an older one. Thanks.

[@bendaves77]

Thought I might get to see a Defour.. I really have a admiration for those boats along the other European builders such as the Elan you showed.. seems they offer a sturdy well designed and built boat with a above average fit and finish

@@brownnoise357 I know all too well what arthritis is all about.. I'm 45 now and full of it along with having a fusion on my back and shoulder reconstruction surgery.. I was beaten on a regular basis by my father growing up until 17 when I left his house.. it caused me to have grand mal seizures starting shortly after and the doctors couldn't get them to stop until I was 31 or so.. it really beat up my body.. living in the midwest of America where we have 4 seasons the cold makes it difficult.. sounds like you know what you're looking for in a sailboat especially since you've owned in the past.. I just recently discovered a love for sailing

@@brownnoise357 I know all too well the damage that prescription medication can cause.. I lost my grandma last January because a doctor decided to take her off her blood thining medication which caused her to have several massive strokes.. doctors had me addicted to opiate pain medication for a few years until I refused to take it and got off it on my own.. sounds like you have a sad story loosing your last boat..new York is nowhere I want to be..been all over this country when I used to drive truck and I didn't enjoy the northeast area around New York City

@@brownnoise357 I grew up in it.. took my first ride at the age of 4 in 1981 and it was a 73 Kenworth k100 that had a v8 cat and 2 stick transmission.. I grew up around livestock haulers who some went to hauling meat to the west coast and produce back to the midwest.. it's all I ever wanted to do..living that life though seems to make for a early death. My dad, uncles and many of their friends who I rode with have all passed on by the age of 65 in the past few years.. I sold mine due to it was my dad's dying wish.. I kept driving for others until my back was destroyed and the surgeon suggested that I find a new line of work

@@brownnoise357 have you tried using cbd for your inflammation?? You don't get the high like thc but it has helped me and many others with inflammation.. what country are you from?? I have a uncle who married my dad's sister who is 100% Italian and was born and raised in the Bronx of NYC.. he was given a choice upon graduation..he could enter business with the Italian families or they would pay for his college and encouraged him to go to college. He became a nuclear engineer and has traveled the world overseeing nuclear power plants being built or completely redone

@@brownnoise357 it's legal here for medicinal and recreational purposes in my state and many others .. the problem they have with making it legal is the government still wants their tax dollars or income.. that's why the whole war on drugs was started here in America even though it's done nothing positive and only spent our tax dollars which should have been used for a better purpose.. it's nice where it's legal because you can go to the dispensary and get exactly what you need and use it as medicine.. you can get a certain strain that barely affects your mind but gives you this incredible body high where all your pain goes away and leaves you with this nice tingling feeling.. it's another reason why I gave up my cdl because the federal government hasn't legalized it and they're in control over commercial drivers licenses.. here in the midwest area hemp and Marijuana were just as big of a cash crop as corn if not bigger..you can use the plant completely for one thing or another..clothing, rope,medicinal etc. Even though Marijuana is illegal over where you are you should be able to order yourself some thc free 100% cbd oil which is legal almost anywhere and would more than likely really help with inflammation. I know cbd and edible thc helped my wife and mother battle cancer..my wife quit taking their oxytocin and gained weight..(this was before it was legalized a few years ago) the doctor asked how she was dealing with the pain and also gaining weight!! She replied that her husband aka me was bringing back medical Marijuana from California for her.. he said he couldn't tell her to quit taking it especially with such positive effects.

[@rickylefleur2158]

The elan 36 one of my favorites....

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Stunner isn't she

[@MrTp057]

Great job Chris. I keep seeing that beautiful Amel 50 w/ctr cpit/protected helm in your video replays...I realize it's way more than your typical boat eval, but would love to hear your thoughts on this blue water/liveaboard brand and available models for 300k or less?.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

I'm not a fan of amel or cc vessels based on my sailing needs but once you go above 250k or so there are so many vessels to choose from its mind blowing, a person really needs to figure out their want and needs in that budget beyond just the basics. I don't personally see a reason to go above 250k regardless of needs ass all that extra cash can be put into the vessel and really out fit it. I'd prefer a dual helm always and possibly a deck salon but at minimum dial helm always and enclose it with a hard top dodger /bimini

[@ericseidel4940]

ELAN was founded just after war in Slovenia. From small motorboats to sailing vessels, they have built everything that could be sold in the Adriatic sea, even skis in the 80s. Look at the Croatian coast, these boats are very popular and dependable for Island hopping. They are very comfortable and good performing vessels especially at close reach.

[@swimcat2333]

Any one of these will work for me--- play with availability and dollars and location and really narrow it down. Love all your vids. It is a big deal the services you are offering---- really genuine about helping people, the fees being reasonable .

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Awe thank you so much swim cat

[@ricardoo5744]

The Elan are awesome boats, a little hard to find a used one in the North American market but it's great when you do.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

I agree Ricardo, they are built tough and when they wind up on this side of the pond they are definitely worth looking into

[@drewj.1654]

Love that little Bavaria. Now if only some sucker would sail one over to the US and sell it to me cheap...

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Ha, true 👍

The Jeanneau on the market from 30-37 is more like 100k if you find one at 50k they will have water damage or something. At least at this time of the market.

Informative as usual. Thanks

This market is rough, I can’t find any of these boats under 50k right now

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Its a rough market, I can find them just on yachtworld, just gotta follow the market

[@scipio1200]

What is your opinion of the 1982 Morgan out island 41? Also, according to insurance underwriters I’m not qualified for insurance because I do have experience sailing a vessel of that size. I have ASA qualifications on sailboats up to 20ft. A little information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Joe

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Running costs on one that old will hurt, as far as insurance you could always take the asa classes asa 101 through 104 and then you should be insurable

[@jimpurdum4695]

Hi Chris, love your channel! Where are you finding boats at these prices? I'm struggling to find any Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 35 for under $67K on sites like Yachtworld and others. I'm seeing an average range of closer to $75-80K asking price. And when you're saying Under $50K do you mean you're finding them listed for under $50K or that we could negotiate them down to that price? Thanks for any help you can give us :-)

[@ChasingLatitudes]

I reference vessels on yacht world for their listed price is all, that way people can find them easily, I can link you the 35 for less than 50k, there is only one

[@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck]

I think my hunter 356 would fit in near the top of your list

I like Hunters a lot, I can only fit so many in one video unfortunately 😔 the hunter 356 is very nice and very rarely on the market at a bargain 😕 love em though

[@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck]

@Chasing Latitudes if you ever make it to Norfolk, I will give you a tour and we can go for a sail and have Crab cakes at captain groovy's

I have lived in the mountains of TN all my life.Dont really know where my dream of sailing comes from am i stupid or looking for something new mid life change maybe is it something doable or am i a idiot?

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Totally doable, not nearly as difficult as most make it seem, its fairly simple to accomplish

[@AlanCostaPlus]

Been following a few channels and it seems doable. There are a lot of people doing it for decades. They often do a lot of the maintenance themselves, it seems, at least those who live aboard.

[@robbanks1686]

A little too small for me for live aboard (personal opinion only). But for the price these are about the best you can get.
