“A steal boat that you can run into ice…” The Titanic would like a word. Helpful video, though. Good info.

I FREAKING LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@SailingMalou]

I freakin Love this comment!

[@villelahtinen9113]

Thank you Gustav! Awesome that Monsun 31 is in your list too 😊 Been scanning blocket a lot, some day I’ll come and get my own from the neighboring market! Hälsar från Helsingfors!⛵️

[@peregrinegrace8570]

Contessa 32, encapsulated lead fin keel , fast and capable. Perhaps the greatest 32 ever designed.

[@peregrinegrace8570]

@Philip Gregory ever owned a contessa 32 ? Everyone has heard of them just because they are the real deal. Loved by everyone who ever owned one. Find an owner with anything bad to say about them . I miss my peregrinegrace a lot and often.

[@costazurra]

@@peregrinegrace8570 contessa is amazing boat didnt know 32 exist there is 35 dough

[@kphelgerson]

Comfortina 32 did not make your list? 😂 We got a 1985 for $17,000 last year. Well designed. And Swedish!

[@AdamsBrew78]

I like that keel design on the Hallberg , going all the way to the rudder. (Not a sailer yet, so forgot what that’s called) - but seems like it’d provide a lot more protection to keep rudder from getting hit and damaged.

[@janisspalvins677]

Hello Gustav, Can you give some review - what you think about boat ALBIN NOVA?

[@Siravingmon]

What about the Allegro 30? Similar lines to the vagabond 31 but much lighter displacement and less draft. Also much older so perhaps cheaper?

[@SailingMalou]

Great boat for sure! They are quite rare to find though... But if you find one in good shape i'll say go for it :)

[@dtonvista]

I have not seen your videos for a while, very informative

[@reinhardheirman7699]

It would be great for us taller people 1.92 or 6’3 if you would add the standing headroom

[@kevinpunty5838]

Great information! It may actually be worth a trip to Sweden & Norway to purchase a "sea-crossing" vessel. Danke!

What are the sweden website to search sailboat you was using? Thanks

[@vaidotasratkus7619]

what do you think about marieholm fortissimo ?

[@SailingMalou]

Amazing boats! Nice lines and the solid long keel make it a great boat that will last a long time :)

@@SailingMalou Yes and there are currently two Vagabond 31 boats for sale, one for 190k kroner and the other for 250k. Also 3 Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31 between 185k and 225k so reasonably priced imo. Nice to see that such excellent classic boats are still available.

[@arabesque30]

Hi I like your videos, can you make a video about Arabesque 30?. I have buying a one for 40k in Sweden and planning long-distance sailing.

[@Thru-The-Lens]

Great reviews, tack så mycket bro 👊🏼 😎

[@nelsonsantos2882]

Love the video, you just got a new sub 😊 I'm really working to buy a boat to live in and see the world, I have a question what kind of papers do you need to sail one and how long to get them? My ideia is fly to Sweden buy one and sail it back to Portugal on a learning curve , then maybe do the Mediterranean to gain experience before set out in big Cross

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

If anything else fails and you need to make money you could always become a yacht broker, you are very good a selling sailing boats I think.

[@michynature]

New sub. Looks like a lot of videos I plan to watch anyway so subbed instead of saved :-)

[@jackflemings6860]

What do you think of the Vagabond ketch 47?

[@SailingMalou]

Great boat for sure! Let me know if you buy one and i'll come cross an ocean with you 🥳

[@yashmanwani6232]

What are your thoughts on maxi 100 ps? Is it a motorsailer? As in, needs engine power even under sails?

[@SailingMalou]

Thats a very nice and comfortable boat! Its not a motorsailor, and you can sail it without engine no problem :)

[@yashmanwani6232]

@@SailingMalou I am looking at a listing that looks quite promising and broker too says the yacht is in amazing condition but for some reason he seems hesitant in calling the boat a Bluewater sailer. He keeps insisting that it's for coastal cruising only near the port of its current location. Do you think it might be cause the boat has structural issues? Is maxi 100 ps Bluewater capable otherwise? Thanks for ur help.

[@SailingMalou]

@@yashmanwani6232 it should deffinately be capable of blue water sailing if everything is in good shape :)

[@yashmanwani6232]

@@SailingMalou thanks. It seems then that the boat has structural issues. Well at least the good thing is that the broker is not shoving a lemon onto me and is politely steering me away from that boat while also keeping his own business interests in mind.

[@rimasmeleshyus9486]

Vagabond 31 amazing sailing ⛵, I really like it, very difficult to find in USA 🇺🇸 to buy. I don't want to fly to Sweden and buy .I m looking in USA 🇺🇸 only to buy . I like it all the boats made in Sweden 🇸🇪, thay are great sailboats very strong built and beautiful classic design 👌 I m interested to cross Cape Horn . This is my interest. I like it only full keel ,no another boats designed about budget no more ,than $ 30,000 dollars.

What do you think abou a Scanmar 33?

[@SailingMalou]

Very nice and capable boat! And it can deffinately cross bigger oceans aswell :) Very popular though. So hard to find for a good price...

[@mattiassvanholm6]

@@SailingMalou Yeah sure is! It goes for around 280-350k. I found one for 150, it was a renovation object. Didn’t had time to blink before it was sold. But non the less my dream boat.

[@mullet_johnson2840]

Hello Gustav, I'm looking to buy one of these boats in Sweden, do you know where I could find a marine surveyor for sail boats in Sweden or how they are called in Swedish and do you know where I could find a copy of selling contract in Swedish ? Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work, your videos are great help and very informative :)

[@SailingMalou]

Hi Mullet! Thanks for the kind words! That sounds great :) On this link you can find some different surveyors in Sweden: www.batbesiktningsmannen.org/sok-besiktningsman/ And here you have a selling contract: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.blocket.se/adout/static/kopekontrakt/bat_ver1.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjuqqqugLfwAhVqoosKHX_wAvAQFjABegQIEBAC&usg=AOvVaw3Cj5BmOhavG8-5tVoEWKh5 I really hope you find a nice boat!

Amazing video Gustav as always...Can you share any transportation companies for sailing boats up to 10m long and 3m width I am looking into ibuying boat in Sweden and import to Croatia Do you reccomend transport by sea or by road so far I got in touch with few persons but they charge for transport 6000Eur and that is out of my budget Take care Gustav and keep good work

Thank you so much Costa! I dont know any good companies for the job. But i would deffinately recommend you to take the boat through the channels yourself. Should be amazing :)
