I can just watch this man talk boats all day. He's talented!
Not one man lost on that expedition despite incredibly harsh conditions. One of the best true stories I've read. Nice boat. I'll take it!
Love the jazz score Randay, and the matching shoes. Looking forward to seeing the new boat with the cigar lounge in the stern. Update please!
Thanks Des, coming to you this Sunday… finally! Thanks for checking in
@@YachtHunters dang, Randay goin' hard at 4:15 ! 3 ft of snow....ill leave my windows down. respect! ;]
The Adventures of Ernest Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott are among the best literary stories that capture the hearts, minds and imaginations of all that read them. Such brave men!
Scott and his crew died of exhaustion, malnutrition and hypothermia on returning from walking to the South Pole. Brutal way to die.
Our ancestors were really something, their get up and go, their attitude and what they achieved is remarkable. They were real doers
Beautiful boat, cool find with the historical connection. I really appreciate the range of boats that Randay and the Captain are presenting. From projects to turnkey, from savings account balances to 2nd mortgages. Something for everyone.
Great episode guys!
The Shackleton expedition was a thousand times more brutal and incredible than he explained. They navigated open southern ocean for hundreds of miles and hit a tiny island with nothing around it for hundreds of miles. The navigator was absolutely incredible. The men were all absolutely incredible. I bet many of them never set foot on any boat ever again in their lives!
Agreed.
Shackleton was born 30 mins down the road from me at impressive Kilkea Castle in County Kildare. He was upper crust Anglo-Irish. His most valued crewmember was Tom Crean, who came from a farming background in County Kerry. Crean and Shackleton were two incredible Irishmen from both ends of the social spectrum.
Video did not capture how big it was on the outside, but it certainly did in the interior. The bunk head space reminded me of all of the years when I was stationed onboard the U.S. Navy ships.
At some point I found my jaw in my lap...shortly after that I was just stunned into speechlessness. (while dabbing away the drool) This boat has RUINED me for anything that will actually be in my budget! What Have You Done!?! Beautiful...just stunning and I will now go buy some lottery tickets...brb...
Sold! You had me at “alcohol dispenser”!
you have to love this 1.1 k views in 42 minutes Its a Rock Show starring the Captain Q and Randay Players
Our fans are the best… what can we say? 👏
Well maintained vessel.
Polite request for more historical on the Captain; including his youth, military, and race experiences.
Please include history of mustache, as well.
Check out our earlier episode where we did a Q&A… it might answer some questions for you: th-cam.com/video/CaVQIhKS2ew/w-d-xo.html
Yes, I appreciated that episode and now requesting MORE.
as far as race was concerned he had no use...for colored
As a jazz saxophonist and sailor, I really enjoy your channel.
Thank you
Randay, nice bit of "trick photography" around 12:45!
They kept that yacht clean! Love the charcoal absorber and Ozonizer blower to keep mold and smell down. Beautiful wood thru-out. Lots of space. Good equipment.
Yeah some pretty smart tips to pick up on, right?
I detail Shackleton’s incredible voyage and the amazing retaking of South Georgia Island by the SAS and Royal Marines from the Argentine Army during the Falklands War in my book “The Best Way Out, A South American Odyssey”. A whole lot of sailing as well.
We were super excited to see another Gulfstar! And this one rated very high on the Q scale! That is a beautiful boat! Can definitely see the lineage and design similarities between the 44,50,60. We love our 44cc! Thanks!
We have a 44CC too - that we are redoing. Any good sources of info you have found?
@@raybalaster8024 just fb groups… I’m on them.
Opening scene with captain Q knee deep in snow, details you add make for enjoyable watching.
I’m landlocked and will not retire for another 15 years but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about getting my sailboat one day
Very nice vessel did not know that the price would be so high being a Gulfstar but also the nicest fit and finish I have ever seen on a Gulfstar she is probably worth all of that everything was well maintained and she looked very well constructed and also she is massive in size kudos to the owner and past owners for keeping her up in tip top shape a real gem for a big fiberglass vessel and definatly way above my pay grade
I kind of followed the motorsailors. They went down to near junk value but then people discovered them as live aboards and the price has climbed ever since. Did'nt know or forgot they made a pure sailor. The prices on these old boats in the NE seem pretty high maybe beyond loan value.
What a beauty! 60 is a little over my range? I actually safely travel in a Yugoslavia-built ice-strengthened Maria Yermolova-class on my way to several locations in Antartica. Also visited the same area Ernest Shackleton took shelter in. That part of the ocean in not for your average yachts. Your video has expanded the possibilities for me to upgrade. Thank you so very much for inspirational videos.
Thanks, George! Keep the dream alive! Those are some testing waters you’ve been in
What lovely yellow ship are you sailing during the title sequence. She looks delicious! 😍
The Americas Cup hopeful mahogany 12m HERITAGE. Designed by charles Morgan
Just like the 50, I have always liked the lines. Charcoal is a good idea. Haven’t seen that before. If my memory is intact, I visited Shackleton’s pub in Ireland. Forget if it was owned by descendants four was just made up in honour of him.
Loss of lift on an airplane wing due to turbulence is called burbling. Turbulence in water as in loss of continuity on the rudder would be considered the same thing
Love the music and beautiful boat she looks like she is in beautiful condition. Love the history of the family. ⛵️⛵️⛵️🥰
Part of our early crew… great to see your name pop up Kathleen!
Ernest Shackleton was incredible and it was so amazing that they survived!
One of the best stories there ever was
Nice job.. That boat is beautiful.
Yes.... Thursday and time for my weekly enjoyment 💯I wish I could buy this. People buying a house should look here👍😁Thank you both for doing these💯getting me back into sailing after 35 years😁see you on Buzzards Bay 🙏
Beautiful boat, and very cool about the connection to Shackleton.
Someone new to sailing can learn quite a bit by watching your videos on the different type of boats , what they are made of and what it will take to repair to make it your own for passages.
Think lots of money.
I love that I am off Thursdays and Fridays, and I get a new Captain Q video every week on my day off. Awesome video and this vessel, in particular, is my favorite one yet. Nice mustache, BTW!
Glad to have you aboard, Alan!!
Don't like the moustache, bad memories for me. Maybe in cold weather they're OK.
A friend had a broken centerboard cable on his 32’er. It was a real effort to get it back into the shallower marina with that deep lead cbd. And more to replace the cable. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to fix one on a 60’er. 🧐 A true yacht though.
Thank you!
Man this boat is gorgeous!
she really is and one of Gulfstars crowning achievements in my book
gosh i just love Q and Ran-day. you guys are very calming.
Thanks, Brent! We save the chaos for when the cameras are off 😂
Why yes...my heart is all a-flutter!
Ha ha
what a boat!!
Love this one guys!
Hey Capt!!! Did you hear they have discovered the Endurance!!! Robot subs have found Shakletons sunken boat!!!!
We did. Red the articles saw the evening news snippet. 10000 ft down
Can’t recover documentary in thexwotks thank you for thinking of us
@@YachtHunters she was still on beautiful shape. The helm and even the rear name board were pristine.
Lots of room for customizing those two over under berths. But 8+ berths and all that cockpit would make her a joy to sail with a group.
Randy had me laughing pretty hard at "that's about the biggest vang I've ever seen!"
Hey Capt. Every time I see your new look all I hear is that song.......I wish I had a pencil thin mustache then I could sole mysteries too......Keep the videos coming!
Don’t know that ditty but I might give it the david Niven try
@@YachtHunters Jimmy Buffet Pencil Thin Mustache
Very very nice now that is sailing ...Is the Joe vs the Volcano boat in your area ? this one reminded me of that one .....Best natural clothes washing machine was on McHales Navy a 55 gallon steel drum with holes in it tied to the PT 73 they would drag it behind them while on patrol...lol...25 cents a pound Grubbers fluff and fold 20 cents a pound for the ladies....hahahahah ...Great show you 2 Thank you
Thank you both for this beautiful video and intresting sailboat.
Another fantastic tour. Thanks!
Very good. I was curious about this one after seeing it a few times at the end of the docks at Cowesett last summer in Warwick. Thanks!
That boat's cockpit looks like it has enough room to polka with and oompah band to boot. Beautiful boat. especially the woodwork below. She's pretty much out of my price range and the better half doesn't like boats, but one can always dream. Keep the good stuff coming guys. BTW nice cookie duster.
the dinty 2 forper sign of quality provisions for the crew - nothing but the best and drinkies also covered
The Endurance is an absolutely amazing book. And.....so is this boat. WOW.
Great boat!
Top shelf & in Bristol fashion -- WoW!
Beautiful boat and very well maintained. Thanks
Skippered hull no 1

Delightful strong boat.
Thanks for posting and sharing. Great deal on a great boat…👍
I'm in love with the boat, it's gorgeous! And at that price it's a bargain.
That yacht selling for $300k is a gift. It is worth so much more, for so many different reasons.
The layout walks so much larger than 60ft. I don't recall what the beam is but, once the length of a boat exceeds 35 ft the beam really starts to increase, allowing for so much area to work with from a design point.
For instance the engine room was so spacious, allowing access to the whole motor with working space.
I'm ready to get a loan and buy that boat and live on it. A one bedroom condo costs twice as much to buy where I live and a condo there's no anchor to raise if I wanted to move. I'd be stuck having to buy a boat and the condo.
Plus, with it only being 60ft the slip fees per month wouldn't be very expensive, depending on the marina. I live next to Marina Del Rey, CA. . Not exactly a cheap marina but it is large enough that finding a slip that size with full hookups for live aboard may not be too difficult.
Well said, Kenneth! You'd be quite comfortable on something this sizable
@@YachtHunters --- thanks for your highliting my comment and for your reply.
I spent 40 yrs of my life living, growing up from birth until I was 30 yrs old, living no further than a mile or two of and in Marina Del Rey and the flanking beaches. I knew and know a lot of people who live(d) on boats as small as 25 and 30 ft alone, and also a couple of families with two and three kids that lived on boats, both sail and power yachts in the 80 ft or more size. The cost can be very high in some cases and sometimes it can be less expensive than buying property. But, as you know very well, upkeep/maintenance of even a small sailboat, say a 30 ft Catalina can still be a lot of work and can keep your bank account on the lower end of wealthy. Most of the people who live full-time on a boat don't do it for very long.
Being that I'm single, no ex wife, no kids, have my own business that I make into six figures without working every day of the week, I could afford to buy and live aboard a boat like this. But, I would have to hire some help. I'm definitely able to do a lot of work as far as maintenance,, I've been an electrician for over 30 yrs, I've always worked on my cars and motorcycles as much as I am able to, I grew up around all kinds of boats but never owned one and I barely know how to sail, one of my friends in Jr high and high school was allowed to take the 30 ft Newport any time it was available and we would ride our bikes to the marina and go sailing once a month or so, but I wouldn't know how to skipper a boat like this. The most experience I have navigating a vessel in the ocean is paddling and or steering a 40ft long by 18 inch wide, 18 inch deep Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe. I was part of a semi pro team for a few years. Just as challenging or more so, but in different ways than piloting a large boat.
Thank you for showing that beautiful boat in this video.
I do have one question still... How much of that unfinished work will be finished before selling and what isn't getting finished? In other words, will that boat be turnkey or will there still be a need to throw more money into making her a reliable, seaworthy, and livable vessel?
I will guess $2000 or more per month. I guess thats CA. cheap.
@@rogersmith7396 ---- I backed out of that purchase. There was no slip offered with the boat. And there is a one to two year waiting list at any So Cal marina for a live aboard slip and the rent is almost $5k a month
@@13_13k So as bad as I thought. Can you get a loan on an old boat like that? Insurance can be a problem. I have an Oceanis 390 at Lake of the Ozarks, formerly in Ft. Lauderdale. Have paid as little as $100 per month with electric water, and wifi and trash. Maybe keep it in Mexico?
This may be my favorite boat the Captain and Ran-day have gone through. I could easily see us using this as our post-retirement Get Away And See The World boat...alas the time is not right for us to call the broker and make a deal.
Whoever takes this next is going to be a very fortunate owner.
Lots of old gizmos to maintain. Very suspicious of Perkins motor. Are they still in business?
Also the Schaffer rig does not say quality to me.
I watch for the backstory on builders, designs, issues and experiences. I enjoyed the owners backstory on this episode.
Pretty cool, right? Thanks!
My week is complete
Hi Capt Q and Randay! I never looked forward to Thursdays as much as I do now! Thanks so much for doing these videos. I have one favor to ask: Could you put up a plan or layout sketch for big boats like this? So many corners and areas...hard to get a good sense of the boat. Thanks. Deano
Captain Q, you're my hero.
Shackleton was stuck for 2 years! Obviously, not the PB! Great episode
not a better show like it ! Captain Q spitting KNowledge !
Has to be careful else it gets caught in the mustache
Another great video of a great boat! That is a deal on this current market for sure.
That definitely would be worth a look
At 2:48, Capt de-mists the mirror and asks, "How's that?" To which Randay replies "Magical."
And in that one word response, I could literally hear you comedically rolling your eyes.
Hilarious! :)
🙄🙄
Incredible little ship and fascinating connection with the famous Captain Shackleton. I was curious about the charcoal humidity measures and was wondering if this is a common practice (other than using electric heaters/fans)? I recently checked my boat under tarp (in Massachusetts) and noticed the engine had surface frost on it. This despite dry bilges. I need to do something lol!
This is a dream boat. Way out of my price range but if I won the lottery. Dreams would be coming true. Awesome video guys. Randy. We need a video of your boat and how much you love it. 👍👍😎✌️👊
This Sunday, my friend!
@@YachtHunters awesome. Can't wait to see her 👍😎✌️
Another great episode!
I enjoy the Captain and Ran-Day what a great team and great presentations... Just a note--- In the opening scenes I don't approve of the Captain pulling Ran-Day away from the wheel..a tap on the shoulder would suffice...
Beautiful boat Captain Q. I think it should have gotten another five points just for the Dinty two-fur and the extra bottles of champagne. Thank you for this weeks tour.
That is a decent weighting system you’ve devised 😂
You guys are just crushing this show. Big fan . Thanks
Thanks very much, Eric! Glad you’re liking it
I believe the later Gullfstars were designed by Hood/Empacher. So similar lines to Bristol’s and Little Harbors. Probably what caused issues they were not profitable but great durable boats.
I'm a major boater but not much of a sailor. If I had my rathers the Gulf Star is one of my favorites. Any center cockpit boat seems most practical.
Always intrudes on salon space which is not good.
This show is like Forrest Gump and a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.
Now that is a REAL yacht! Gulfstar's earlier boats (prior to 1979) seldom had blisters but quality was not so good. Gulfstar oats built in the early eighties were very high quality but had blister problems due to the OPEC oil embargo which forced many builders to switch to cheaper polyester resins instead of the isophalic resins they had been using before. The cheaper resins affected not only Gulfstar, but plenty of other builders during that time period, including Swans. By now, any of the boats built in the eighties blister years have almost certainly had epoxy barrier coats. If I had the means for a world cruising expedition yacht at a reasonable cost, this would be one of the finalists!
I would have thought the older boats would have solid cores and be very heavy.
@@rogersmith7396 I suppose they are heavier than the super lightweight newer boats but with a Displacement/Length ratio of 237.35 and a Sail/Displacement ratio of 16.51 the Gulfstar 60s would be considered on the light side of MODERATE. (For comparison, the well thought of Valiant 40s have a D/L ratio of 267 and a S/D ratio of 15.85) .All that size and weight on a Gulfstar translates into a much more comfortable motion at sea (Comfort Ratio is an excellent 44.47) and the Capsize Screening Formula is about as good as I've ever seen at 1.64. Those beat the pants of the newer boats, as does the ability of the Gulfstar to survive impact with a reef or shipping container.
That why we are doing this
The captain should have deducted 1 point for the messy chart table 🙄 hahaha. Thanks Captain and Randay
Good point
I'm both happy and sad you did a video of this Gulfstar. I've had Independence saved on my list for a couple of years now. My bank account isn't quite where it needs to be to pull it off yet. Now that Captain Q has this video I'm sure it won't last long. I love the in-boom furling main.
The Schaffer system is a premium product - not to mention the double Schaffer furlers… that’s some very expensive and quality gear on board
@@YachtHunters Any experience with how this boat performs under sail? I managed a Gulfstar 50 ketch for a bit. Easy to single-hand.
I love this boat ..
One of your best
Endurance is am amazing story!
Great review. I owned a Tartan 34 in 1979. I wonder if it is possible to to develop a value equation to go along with The final rating. Cordially, OleDave
I have heard it said that for every foot of length that interior volume nearly doubles. This is certainly oversimplified, but it is interesting to ponder. Sure am glad there was two of everything, perhaps it should have been more?
Wow!
Of course you must take grandma!!
Nice one
Its that time of the week again and boy howdy, you managed to get Tom Selleck's older brother to skipper the show! By the way, what does "MUSHER" mean? Thanks again and happy sails!
Depends wether hes talking boat hulls or dog 🐕 sled teams. Edit
Yes it means the bow is wide and deep so it doesnt bury itself into a wave ..so you don't cut into a wave or neither is it so blunt it will pound down as the bow falls back after being lifted.
I think he means that when the boat falls into a wave trough, it falls gently and soft as compared to a slapping hard fall.
I read Shackletons Valiant Voyage. Great book. I felt bad for the dogs. :(.
Captain, I think you need to head south for boat reviews during winter
This is a fine idea… we may give it a shot
Hello Captin Q - do you really need the back stay ? Very nice boat !
Wow, what a stunner! If you told someone to close their eyes and picture a sailing yacht, this is what they would see. Captain, I was wondering if you would ever look at a sailing catamaran? I know that might offend some purists, but it would be interesting to see your take on one. Thanks for your wonderful, educational videos!
They serve a great many people in many ways as floating beach homes or winter getaways , but I personally find them visually offensive and unseaworthy and claustrophobic. They do nothing for my soul and that’s what sailing is all about
We might do one when we finish off all the mono Hulls
Thank you for asking and watching
@@YachtHunters ahh, okay. I did not realize you had such strong feelings against them. I was just curious. No worries, I will keep watching for the monohulls!
@@YachtHunters The luxury SUV’s of sailing. 😆
Thats a big boat with a lot of space for a familly to live aboard ... and able to get into some shallower waters with that lifting keel.
Is that Balsa wood in the hull to form a structural component or just for hull insulation?
I've seen both done ... though i think i would get a bit stressed with it used as a structural element in such a large hull if it took some bumps or grounded a tad with tides whilst at anchor.
Wonder why that book was never made into a movie?? Sounds like movie material to me... great episode! Nice boat!!👍👍👊👊⛵⛵
It’s been a while but I believe it has been. Actually I know it has been I have a set of vhf tapes on it And there have been a number of documentaries as well
🤪🙄
@@YachtHunters I learn something everyday.. 👍👍👊👊

Agreed! Lotta boat for the price
Shackelton was one of my heros when I was growing up along with Patton and Mosby! I grew up on their stories and legends. I might have to try to buy this boaqt just because of this association. Thank you for bringing this boat to my attention. She is so beautiful. I wish you had been able to take her out. My only concern is that she might not be Bahamas friendly with her draft. P.S. You missed the Onan Generator. hehe
We couldn’t find the Onan!! We’d love to take her out and see how she feels in the water… hopefully, we’ll be able to do a little more of that when it warms up
@@YachtHunters she was under a discrete hatch in the saloon I believe from the photos from the broker.
