That Ohlson is GORGEOUSSSSSSS!!!!

[@NeilMartin-z7e]

Just a great show! You had me guessing but I never thought the Ohlsen had a chance but it is in the end soo sweet. Cheers

[@boatfools]

Thank you, thank you! That Ohlson is dreamy. Just wish we knew more about her!

[@patrickfalter4487]

Great boats, the Ohlson was sweet. You guys are suckers for wood and character. I'm guilty of that too, thanks guys :)

[@boatfools]

Ha! Guilty as charged. They sure are pretty to look at…

[@Jason114752]

Holy smokes! You guys nailed it with this episode. Keep this going, y’all are doing great. Cheers 🍻

[@boatfools]

Thank you very much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

[@boatfools]

Thank you! Will do our best...

[@thomas_dries]

I appreciate you guys! I'm currently saving up for my first boat and you guy's have been killing it with these low price finds recently!

[@boatfools]

Thank you and that’s awesome! Keep saving and let us know if we can be of assistance!

[@BigDreamsBoating]

Hard to beat the Pearson 386 wow what a deal but that Cal 43 is something special. Still I would go Pearson 386 for cruising its loaded even autopilot from pics near turn key.

[@boatfools]

The Pearson would be very comfortable and she’s a nice size. Really wish we had more pics of both!

[@SavingMaverick55]

That Ohlson really is a wooden Vindo. Nice. There's also something about the one in Mattapoisett that really appeals to me, but i can't exactly place what it is.

[@boatfools]

She really is… So many cool boats out there!

[@SavingMaverick55]

@boatfools Damn right. I try to avoid looking at boats for sale. I'm inclined towards collecting things but I don't need any more than one big boat.

[@deanpurcell7771]

Looking forward to the delivery vid!

[@boatfools]

And I’m looking forward to the delivery! Hopefully we get some good footage! And good weather…

[@nodogrunner]

Every time you guys do a list I could pick a boat to buy!

[@boatfools]

Don't I know it!

[@mikewagner2153]

My favorite channel.

[@boatfools]

Thanks Mike! Really appreciate that! Have an awesome summer!

[@patrickhorgan8389]

Alberg 29....WOW 😍

[@boatfools]

100%. Nice boat!

[@vincentmiceli2554]

Every other Saturday? Oh no. I will go into withdrawals. Y’all put out terrific videos and your hard work is appreciated Enjoy your summer

[@boatfools]

We might sneak one in here and there, especially if find a must see deal! Appreciate your comment! And enjoy your summer, too!

[@jeffreyerwin3665]

the Star Dust is not the Commodore version. I want it anyway. . . . . . .but I would not characterize 6 tons on 33 LOA as "ultra-heavy displacement."

[@boatfools]

Yes, I misspoke in the video but noted she’s the Swiftsure model. Her displacement/length ratio is 426, per Sailboatdata, so if that is correct, by definition she would be an ultra heavy displacement boat. I didn’t check the math so maybe I missed something?

[@jeffreyerwin3665]

@@boatfools My Glander Cay was 6,000 lbs on 23 feet LOD, which, IMO, is heavy, but not ultra-heavy. I do not doubt your math, so maybe its a matter of definitions. The Westsail 32 displaces 20,000 lbs on the same LOD as Swiftsure which only comes in a 11,500 lbs. Anyway, thanks for the video. I could easily afford the Star Dust, but just too old now.

[@boatfools]

@@jeffreyerwin3665 she is a sweet looking boat, that is for sure! And I appreciate your comments and your tuning in!

[@jackchamberlain5993]

What a great batch of boats, my favorite is the Cal 43

[@boatfools]

Thanks Jack! I’m hoping to see it close up and tour it. Waiting for the seller to get back to me. Looks like a really cool boat!

[@robertgold2643]

I’ll take one of each please! 😉

[@boatfools]

One can never have too many pretty boats! Thanks for tuning in!

[@RichardBarker-d1h]

Wow ! you "BoatFool Boys" find some really excellent reasonably priced sail boats ! Have a fun , safe season boys . When the snow flies in the East Coast , why don't you come out to Newport Beach and find some cheap deals out here for us West ? I know , it's California 👎

[@boatfools]

Don’t tempt us! I’ve got family out in Carp… We will definitely do another virtual sweep of SoCal and the rest of the state! Thanks for watching!

[@robsomerton7390]

Idk about New England. But a wooden boat is nearly impossible to insure in California.

[@boatfools]

Even up here it takes some digging! It’s a shame.

[@julioerodriguez6097]

I was hoping for that Cal 43 to be a "number two or one" in the list. I really liked that boat. A few years back, a buddy of mine in PR (rest his soul), had a Cal 40 and that boat was fast! He was winning most of the regattas in Ponce Yacht Club. Great show guys and Thank you!

[@boatfools]

There just weren’t enough photos. Going to go look at her in a week or so… Really cool boats and I love the Cal 40!

[@crosbycofod5052]

It eludes me why in the heck people keep their boats so long without selling. It's called greed when it comes down to it. If I have something sitting for a year, it goes. Someone else will use it. That cal would cost a significant amount and has been on the hard for 8 years.......I don't think that'd be a wise investment. If anything they should pay you to take it after sitting that long is the reality.

[@danielclint1033]

Why do you guys say, “soul floor”? It is the soul, period. To say otherwise contributes to the loss of proper terminology.

[@boatfools]

Good question! I guess it sounds weird to say its soul looks to be in great condition; vs its sole floor looks great. Sole, soul, it all gets confusing…

[@SavingMaverick55]

Sole = Boat speak for "floor". Floor = boat speak for "floor joist". The floor timbers support the sole boards, and in the case of wooden boats, tie the frames to each other and the keel.

[@danielclint1033]

@@boatfools Yes, Sole not soul..

[@danielclint1033]

@@SavingMaverick55 Understand but in reference to the boats floor it is sole.

[@SavingMaverick55]

@@danielclint1033 Yeah. I said that. "Sole = Boat speak for "floor". Nautical English is a strange dialect.
