Awesome family!! This is so inspiring! Were refitting our 65 power catamaran too, and its so exciting to see others doing adventures. It feels great to be part of this community!

Wasn't meant to be....a better boat will show up.

Hey my man..I’ve been following you since the beginning….Glad ur back…. That’s awesome that your family got together and did that…. Family seems really cool. Can’t wait for more videos Tommy St.Pete Beach Florida.

Beautiful 😎

Cool family ~

That is a brave move to get together like that. Well done on the folks for being willing to let some bygones not interfere with being able to be happy all together for a short spell. Wish I'd had the same in my life. Cool vid!

❤

Great to see you all having some fun times. 15:10 The nature of life is cycles within cycles. Narrow views within broader views. Dimensions within dimensions. And nothing carries built-in meaning. We _each_ get to choose. Choose freedom✨

Rotten as a pear ,you can see the mould ,,runaway !

Good lesson in life. Be willing to walk away from a deal. Whether its the best deal in the world or if you are doing it to help a friend or family. If it doesnt sit right, walk away. Something better will come.

Very much a long shot and a long way away. Google “Webster Marine” in Paynesvillle Victoria. Partially built Simpson 39. Blank canvas.

I haven't seen you in awhile Nice to see you , God bless you with a new home❤

Better off going joining sailing into freedom in Vietnam and getting an aluminum cat made while working and have a strong built structure the first time instead of all the future disasters of a secondhand old wooden framed boat that will keep falling apart in places where parts and bits and pieces will be hard to get . Do it right from the start .

Hmmmm 🤔 a plywood boat, expecially an older plywood boat will always have rot. What would have concerned me would be checking the superstructure and frame which you can onky really tell byslipping it. Plywood boats are fairly easy a d not expensive to repair. Just time consuming. Personally id never buy a ply boat.

I’d run away like Monty Python runaway runaway gotta be better boats out there than that. Anyway, that’s my opinion, I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole to much work.

Can’t see what all the fuss about. Just take it easy and all well. When the wave rake your boat with green water, boy to stern…now that’s real stuff. A few sloppy waves over the bow…nah. But lots of lessons learned. Everything should always be stowed / tied on, including you. Outboard motors not much use in short waves.

Wy dont you talk about The Price and your offer number? It makes part of all This video process... Good Luck with The Next One👍

Bloody old Spindrift. I had the larger version and I looked at a 37 Spindrift and ended up buying a 45 footer. It had rot over the watertank and that was all. I bought mine in 1989 and had it to 1991. Moved to a alloy cat.

5:33 your face is black as? What did you want to compare her black face to?

that one wasnt going to be a dream it was going to be a nightmare

You 100% made the right decision. That guy covered up so many issues and he is trying to rip someone off.

I'll tell you after a few minutes of watching: do not buy this boat!

Wise decision that was a pig with lipstick

I remember when this boat first came for sale… she looked the goods from the photos! For the right price, the Crowther 39s are awesome and a refit would be doable.. but - you’ve gotta be prepared to put the yards in. She has awesome lines and foam hulls… just the deck needs some love. Anyway, as you probably worked out he likely was insulted by your lowball offer and couldn’t be arsed responding further. Fair enough.

Asking price? The price you offered? Is it a secret?!

They’ve painted over everything instead of fixing it, since they are going to sell it. You should stop trying to talk yourself into this….. it’s like putting lipstick on a pig!

is why i like my snapdragon 24 as it a full fibreglass hull no ply at all apart from interior lol

You done the right thing was actually hoping u wouldn't counter offer. The right one will come up theres a reason for everything

I love Cairns. Beautiful place.

Great video and very informative to not act on emotion, no matter how much you want it. Well done. Hoe yas dont get the $9k fine, each offense, for flying drone in restricted air etc....

😅well done sage and congratulations for being able to make this observation and stand by it despite your bigger dreams. in a way you were cashing in futher on the investment yo made into your current boat and what it took to fix it up, nice to hear from you 🎉

Run away from that crap..

Hey mate, looooooong time -no see. Been following you on the Tube since day #1. Hope your doing ok, hope your dads doing well too.

The rot YOU find is only the tip of the iceberg. WALK AWAY. !!!! FASTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! BOTTOMLESS PIT $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Well done, bro. Of course, the seller knew about most of the rot, but at least it looked like you had a nice trip and taught everyone a fine lesson in boat surveying. It's not about the boat, it's the journey and I look forward to the next video!

any fool can buy a boat so hard to sell a boat !!!!!!!!

I started watching then thought I I was you I would have got off the boat half way through the inspection. Don't waste you money. to many other good boats out there. If you do go further as part of the negotiation I would absolutely want a qualified surveyor to go through the boat with a fine tooth comb. When you see rot that has not been addressed in my experience its just a small windowo into a boat that has not been maintained and will have further unseen issues. Don't be ruled by emotion.

Love new sailing channels, happy sailing, one day ill be there as well

What kind of boat it that?

NEXT. Don’t even consider this boat.

Glad your brain beat your heart. Crowthers are a great design but the problem most are built by backyard builders which lets the name down.

looks like a Crowther 45, i built a 40, Lock drew great boats but you are correct to understand that much more rot would reveal itself. I would guess that this was approx a 1980 build era, VERY similar to mine that is now in day charter in USA. Mine was airex hulls, awesome material but ply bulkheads and decks will be problematic after 40 years.

😊

is that cains

Two words for every boat buyer, MOISTURE METER. !!!!!!!!!!!.

this was a great one to watch because it really highlights the need to get your head into everything you can and be willing to say "nope, not at this price" and be willing to see a reduced offer shot down.

It's probably that cutesy little man bun you've got that made him knock back your offer

Very few people can afford the million dollar plus prices of dream catamarans. With that much rot you are committing to a multi year project on the hard with all the costs associated.

When you see 30000 bucks repair, there will be 90000 at the end 😢

Looked at 14 boats before we pulled the trigger, I so wanted a wharram, the missus put the kebosh on that pretty quick. Good to see you back man, keep at it, you will find the boat.
