Have you posted any videos about docking? It would be helpful.
You know helpful internet stranger, that’s a great idea. This helpful man on my dock just took such a video. Look for it in TH-cam shorts!
5k is a realistic price for that boat
Well the boat isn't in to bad a shape for a C&C 35'er ,all older boats need some mtce after sitting for a while. But depending on what you want the boat for cruising, racing ,or ocean going , if its racing you just hit pay dirt , C&C are racing boats and there a canadain made. I know becuse my father had one it was a 27'er and that boat could fly through the water i had it up to 28 knts one time .
Hi hope is damn cheap because, to me, it's not the deal of your life...
so...the keel has two crack and it's full of humidity....not a very nice start to be honest!
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for all the comments and support. I can tell you from my last boat buying experience that you have to be prepared to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince... Since everyone seems to enjoy the boat shopping vid, I'll definitely bring you guys along when I look at the next ones! With that said, I haven't totally given up on this one... Not sure $5K gets it done, but hey you never know! lol.
Brother all I can say is whenever you get discouraged when working on it remember this "How do you eat an Elephant one bite at a time"
It's hard to say what is acceptable. The hull itself is likely repairable. The keel state is unknown. The engine condition is a huge question mark. The deck, including new hatches, can likely be repaired and made watertight again. The sails do look well despite mishandling. The standing rigging likely needs replacement. Accept ripping out the entire interior and making it to a modern standard, but it's still a ton of work-as suggested, not worth more than $5k. Cheers.
One good thing about that boat..it has a good looking knives & forks drawer plus everyone needs a lovely light dimmer on a boat hahaha 😅
Fun video AND ‘good on ya’ for driving a manual!
shed a tear for our sweet beloved manuals. VW has announced that 2024 will be the last year for them... 😪
I’ll take the garmin
I have seen this boat in bayfield it’s been sitting for a long time.
$5k cash & carry But seriously, it’s only a 35’ boat. Do you want/need a bigger boat? How quickly can you get the hull/rudder I to shape? Does the engine work? If you can get it to float and move, you could spend time on it. And I do understand you said you wanted a project boat, but could you spend some extra time at work and spend more on a boat that is at least dry? I’m all for preserving old hulls, but the amount of time, work and materials you put into it will never be reflected in anything but your memories. Do you think this is the last boat you will ever own ? Because that is the question we are asking here.
salam kenal dari indonesia
Clearly lots of leaks leading to lots of interior damage. "How big a project do I want?" is a an excellent observation. Is the owner incapacitated? To not even take the sails off the boat and properly fold them, over a number of years, tells me that is illustrative of everything else about the boat. Soon that will be an abandoned boat which would be a pass even for free.
How much is the asking price?
They are asking $27,500 they were asking 40k
@@ccook1981 wow I only gave $8000 for my Catalina 30 and it was ready to sail and I love that boat the only issue I have is the windows leaking I can't seem to stop it
@@ccook1981 40k ahahah full of cracks and moisture...I'd say 20k is the top they can hit.
I just subscribed as well to watch your boat project adventure. I am wanting to buy one in about two years and like watching people fix up boats as I guess it will help me have more options when I try to find just the right one for me. Good luck!
Amazing, thanks so much. Hopefully a few "boat hunting" vids are on the horizon to whet the appetite for the project vids to follow!
liked and subscribed cant wait for the project
Love this 🎉. Liked and subscribed. Where can I merchandise pls?!!
I strongly recommend instagram.com/scugogcustomelements/?hl=en for all merchandise options!
We sail out of Wilson and have had the same with the fishing boats. If they are trolling I yield early. We were also out in a field of branches and logs around the same time. Never saw so many. Big ones too. Lots of cattail-like plants and debris too. I assume storm runoff. (I love the old C&C boats. When I sailed out of Youngstown in the 1970's there were C&C's everywhere.)
Hey, thanks for reaching out! You’re lucky to have such a beautiful home port!
@@TheAwakeford Yes, not too many natural harbors on the south side of Lake Ontario. A small cottage with a dock, on the island across from where you were docked, just sold for about $175,000. Listed for a few days and went fast. Best of luck selling the boat. I would seriously think about purchasing it, but I have 3 already and short on $. Wishing you success on finding a nice project. There are lots of potential ones out there.
Good luck. Gotta have a project ;)
honestly dude when u started stringing ur guitar and the radio came on, it was aesthetic especially with the sea and hat- a life most can only dream
Hey dude, Mirage 26 sailing the great lakes. Cheers.
Amazing. Thanks for reaching out.
Hell yeah. Thanks for that sailor.
Gives me nausea watching on repeat
Only thing I can recommend is watching it a few more hundred times 😃
@@TheAwakeford haha lol. Fair winds. See you on the water
Very helpful! Thanks
Love your channel!!
Thanks so much!
Fun trip. Just imagine the sailors of old, they would still be stuck on the lake.
Some say they are still out there… drifting…. In blissful silence. :)
@@TheAwakeford yup, good deal. Wish I was there
Nice slogan for a T-shirt: Dam Clutch!
Does that clutch pop open when the wheel pilot experiences a certain level of force perhaps? Love the videos and very jealous of your boat. I spent the last 3 summers learning to sail on Lake Erie and now trying to convince my wife to buy a boat!
I’ve been told that it may indicate that the wheel is out of alignment, but I haven’t investigated yet. Thanks for watching, I hope your boat dreams come true!
That's the problem with solo sailing--no one to notive your PFD's all twisted in the back😆
notice!
Doh!
No wind racing
That looks like room 242 at Newport Onshore I own that for week 28 it’s been in my family since the buildings were being built and my aunt and uncle bought it around 1985. It is an excellent family getaway and has been our happy place for a very very long time amidst a very challenging life. We are native Rhode Islanders but it’s a simple escape for us. I hope you enjoyed your stay. come back as often as you can!
That’s amazing. We really liked onshore and we love Newport. We hope to return in 2025!
did you create that?? that is amazing
Omg, I wish! All credit to Radiohead
👍👍⛵😎 thanks for sharing... fun seeing the sail !
Awesome trip and race ? You did it , you crossed Lake Ontario that's worth bragging rights !
Thanks! In terms of the “race” we realized we clocked it at different finishing marks. The math was too hard so we called it a draw. 😂
Would like to know what navigation app you use on your phone? Cheers BB
Hey thanks for watching. The app is the Navionics App. It used to be a one time payment app but now like everything else it’s an annual subscription and the price keeps going up! Ugh.
I think harness when forward and solo😮
I agree with your sail configuration. Trimming and balancing is more interesting than. Dont drop the story or commenting on what you are doing i think that gives a better total picture of the experience. But if you can ... some seaney is nice. I'll check back in with you later. Best regards from Jarle (Stem to Steern sailing)
hey brother. I wish you the best of luck, just a small constructive criticism....if you want more appealing successful videos, I would try less stories and shots of yourself and more hands on shots, what you are doing, sails, tasks, problems, sunsets, skies, nature,.... so on. people have short attention spend, we need to rotated are short video shots every few seconds. for example and old school Music video where images changes every second....that is what grabs viewers, means a lot of editing. thanks bro,
This is raw and enjoyable.
Glad to see you sailing again! Look forward to more this season. Cheers BB
Thanks! Glad to be back on the water for sure!
what size boat were you sailing?
Southern Cross is a 1978 C&C 30. Thanks for watching!
Lucky number 13 minutes in 😅
SCAM.... 😢
I watched your race from last year. Congrats! I have never had an interest in sailing in my younger days. Think I may be getting hooked. I have a strong desire to buy a used 21 ft trailer sailer and give it a try. Enjoying watching your channel and picking up techniques Cheers BB
Amazing, thanks. Btw if you’re “thinking” about buying a boat it’s already too late for you 😂
lol! I think you got that right!!!
can you pay with points and $$ combines in one booking ?
The answer is yes. Kind of. It’s not a great system. You can rent points if you don’t have enough points to pay for the last night of your stay only. 🤷♂️
Not gonna lie...I came for the bleep bloops
Ahoy. Great episode. Nice to see some lake Ontario sailing. Yr brave to winch up spinnaker cuz U knew sheave was messed up. Glad U could pull her down! Nice to have fellow sailors for a tow in but I'm sure U could sail into Whitby with just jib and fuel in as U get near Yr slip. When conditions good is fun practice time to sail in n out of harbour even with engine in neutral for the experience. Sailing on n off the anchor is good practice too. Ya don't always need the motor for this when U have yr experience n comfortable with yr ship like U are. Keep up the great work. Cheers from a fellow solo sailor liveaboard at RHYC.
If you use the 360 camera I won’t be watching
Don’t play music can’t hear what you are saying
