And the winner may surprise you - as it did us. BUT, the Boatfools Sailing Scorecard doesn't lie - and the winner deserves the top spot! Tune in, sit back, and enjoy. And please consider liking, sharing, and subscribing (if you haven't already!).
Also, please note that we'll be off for two weeks as it is April break around here and my wife, Erin, and I are off sans kids for a much needed vacation!
In the meantime, Canadian Ken is running down some really cool boats and stories that we will be bringing to you ASAP.

One of the reason I like watching your videos, is that I learn about sailboats I have never heard of!
And we learn about them, too! Makes it fun for sure! Thanks for watching and for your comments!
Thank you for showing us these boats. They all seem to be within many beginning boaters, or experienced boaters wishing to downsize, price ranges. For most inland sailing I do like the Vinyard, but find it a little on the smaller size. Fine for inland sailing. I like the size of the O'day, but also like the larger island packet for comfortable curising.
Thanks Michael! We are budget sailors through and through. IPs are great cruising boats for sure! I see a lot of the 27s on the market, especially up here in Maine. I would like to get a closer look at one. The VVs are just so pretty, IMO - hard to look away from them, but very narrow. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!
Another great episode! My camp as a kid had an O'Day 25. Not fast, but very fun to cruise on.
Thank you, NYC! There are some sweet boats over in MI. And that O’Day looked turn-key.
I always say, one O'day at a time. I looked up the sailboat data on the Island packet 27 a couple of weeks ago, surprised at the low comfort ratio and a bit high capsize ratio. Always a pleasure guys, thanks for your time and effort
Ha! That’s a good one! Yes, the IP numbers were definitely surprising. Thanks for your continued support!
The O Day 34 thanks very much. Unbelievable value, all yachts covered, your side of the Atlantic.
Agreed! A really great boat! The only knock is the iron keel but if it’s maintained, it shouldn’t be an issue and it looks to be in great shape. Thanks for watching!
@boatfools iron keel yachts are not necessarily a bad option. I've had one for 20+ years. Every 5 years I wire brush it to bare metal, apply 3 coats of bitumastic roofers paint, followed by many coats of antifouling. Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt....
I really don't get people that remove the stoves from boats.
I'm originally from Florida, so we didn't jump from 20:12 to marina.
I have a long list for my next purchase and I'm looking at buying stoves for many of these picks.
Love the video. My list contains boats from the Great Lakes to east coast boat from Maine to S. Carolina.
Let us know what you’re looking for! You never know what we might stumble upon. Thanks for watching!
Hi Guys! Yep, a lot of Michgan place names are hard to pronounce. Mackinac is pronounced Mack-i-naw. Charlevoix is Char-le-voi (French and Native origins).
Thanks for looking at boats in our beautiful state!
Ha! Maine has some weird ones too. It’s so confusing because there’s a Mackinaw City in MI as well. Canadian Ken should have at least gotten Charlevoix correct since he speaks French (at least a little bit). For shame! :) Thanks for watching! And for your comment!
You talked about doing the Chicago Mac I’ve got 10. Several were on a Tartan 10. One we did in 40 hours. Another one was 5 days!
I’ve never done this race but would love to someday! 40 hrs is a fast ride! 5 days…not so much…
@@boatfools 333 miles. 4-5 days is normal on a small boat.
Definitely! But the 40 hrs must have been a ride to remember! Hoping to do the Marblehead - Halifax race next year. Similar distance (363-ish).
Ok I just saw the Island Packet and I stopped the video to comment. That is #1. (Pushing play)
Maybe…
Got to say, the O'Day is smoking. Good to know you can buy a boat like her. Thanks
Re the oday...chartered one of the 34s and one of the 39 many years ago. Nice sailing comfortable boats. Had thought of buying one and looked at a few years ago...all had issues with deck core rot. Bring your moisture meter if you look.
Great intel re: decks. Thank you!
I have the same year Bombay Clipper for sale in NH. Mine has a Volvo Penta repower. The guy that built these sold the mold to what became the island Packet
I didn’t realize that re: selling the mold to IP. Interesting! Have you listed your BC? Thanks for the insight!
@@boatfools yeah, mine was a two owner, I took it over from a friend and he gave me a full history lesson on the mold and how it was sold to IP. Being inside the boat feels like an IP too because it's roomy. I haven't done an exact comparison of the data sheets but I'm sure they are very similar all the way around. Most of the noticable details/upgrades IP did are things like using stainless ports rather than the composite ones on the Bombay and other little similar details people seem to notice, but overall very similar. The Bombay was built extremely well, they are super solid. I haven't listed mine with anyone yet because it's in the Marina and I figured I'd start checking around there with some of the guys that are right there and can easily take a look at it while I'm putting a fresh coat of paint on it and doing a few other small upgrades. I also have a couple of inboards to sell to thin out some of the things we have on the "spare parts" shelf. One is a 2000's series Volvo Penta 19 HP that runs good and the other is a Westerbeke L25 23HP that hasn't been run for a couple of years that I will either go through completely, or sell as an engine someone else needs to rebuild. That time of year!
You might have to pay a little more for a fresh water boat but it will definitely be in better shape than one who's been in the saltwater.. and I don't know how anyone could not love the design and looks of a Cheoy Lee
All things being equal, yes, agreed. And the Cheoy Lee: right!
I'd have to pick the Vineyard Vixen as my winner. I'm not a big fan of the O'day brand ... there are always a large number of them on the used market where I live (23 -29 ft), and every one that I have went to look at has always given me the impression of the "typical" production boat. I also liked the Cheoy Lee 41, but the wood decks are a no go for me personally (probably the source of the leaks mentioned).
The VV is a sweet, sweet boat and only a 1/2 point separated it from the O’Day. For overall comfort the O’Day is the one; for pure beauty it would be the VV in my opinion! Thanks for your comment, as usual!
Hy guys. Lo e your vids & so solid review and I fo on the boats you show. I am a bit older novice sail guy & really appreciate your knowledge expertise. I like to sail for fun only, too old for the racing stuff but I do appreciate those that partake. Again thankyou for the channel. And your efforts to help all us water people.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching! Sailing for fun is the only way to do it! Enjoy the season!
Another great episode! Thanks for the education in the beginning on the great loop. Gets me thinking about buying a boat on the lakes especially some of those one owners and making my way out to the Atlantic. The fresh water means you’re getting a boat that’s much younger than her sister ships that spent their lives in salt water perhaps?
Thanks and thanks for your continued support! Fresh water boats aren’t necessarily better - it’s definitely a case by case scenario. But, salt water is a harsh environment… but all things being equal, a boat that has spent its life on fresh water will likely be in better shape.
Have you seen whats for sale in the spring " points north or east" its amazing
No! Tell me more.
Chicago Mack race is 333 miles
Sounds awesome!
Chou lees can be nice or can be a maintenance nightmare. With all of those screws into the substrate? Ouch. Rip off deck and maybe re-coring. Ouch ouch.
Hard knowing what you’re going to get. Likely a lot of work - but a darn pretty boat!
@@boatfools very pretty. And nice lines. But I’ve re-rotted*** re-fitted (darn auto correct ) too many boats. Ha ha.
Shar La Voy - Charlevoix
We’ll get it right next time!
What's Your Frequency Kenneth ♪♫ Nice referrence :P
Glad you caught that!
And they were all in fresh water all or at least most of their life.
Exactly!
Guys, I’ve been checking out some boats on sailboat data and most come up empty. Am I doing something wrong?
Are you using the online version or phone app? The online version is very sensitive to typos, etc. The free app version is just alpha listed.
What about the chainplates?
In what context? Definitely check them and get a surveyor to do so!
You demonstrated two island packets and never mentioned whether the chainplates were updated.
There is a cost of at least 18k to replace or fail.
I've had several quotes that put the boat out of the market.
Ah. If the listing didn’t mention it we’d have no way of knowing. Obviously a survey would be warranted if the seller didn’t know either. I do know, as you have pointed out, that IPs do have chainplate issues. Thank you for bringing it up!
I spoke with IP in Florida. They no longer do the update, referring to a boatyad and quoted at least 18k or more depending on the boat. Also stated any before 1991 could need the replacement.
That’s great information and really bad news all at once. Thanks for sharing that intel…
MF Ken in the house!
The Canadian is ACES!
