It's not weird, it's just old. This is what a full boat world cruiser looked like in the late 70s. The fact that it is still completely functional 40 years later confirms they were not wrong. It might be a little bit slower, but it will always have a balanced sail and easy motion.
No one said it was non-functional, it's ugly by today's standards and if you're buying it you're buying it today, not 40 years ago. Unless you are in it for the nostalgia or are a fan of this style (which is fine) you can find other options.
@@PanicAttackOshawa Outside ugly or inside ugly? Except for the 50 ft boats from 2016 onwards, all sailboats more or less have the same interior design, with congested interiors. Only the recent 50 ft boats are built like apartments on water.
At 10:10 it is not an access panel but a very useful dust collector : when sweeping the floor (which is usually done several times in a day as tiny spaces get dirty very vast). Instead of struggling with broom and dies pan you just seemp you dust in the collector … et voilà! I made one myself on my own boat. Of course under that you have access to the bottom of the boat, here a sump pump I suppose… BTW this is not a weird boat ! Where did you gt this notion? It's only an old boat designed very well with many proven little practical gizmos that make life easier at sea. Not like those modern tupperware that have been designed by people who spend a few days at sea each year…
This is very similar to the Westsail and Crealock boats from the 70's. Based on Colin Archer designs, these boats were designed and built to take you anywhere in the world safely as long as you did your part. They aren't fast but they are sure. Thank you for finding this gem Jordan. And the price is practically a give away.
That’s a nice boat and I like that it does NOT have a sprit or teak decks. Deal breakers for me. I sure do hope that there are removable panels for the engine room. Yeah, nice boat.
I crossed oceans in a Sadler 34 and this reminds me of that, but larger and with a full keel, of which I am a huge fan! Amazing boat. Your reviews are very good. I would like some of the detail in the scrolling info to be discussed by you however. For instance, most sails are new, but the 150 genoa is 13 years old, and will be I’m sure very stretched out and low performing. . .it’s a must purchase and it’s thousands of dollars. Other than that, I appreciate your style of review very much! Thanks.
Looks like a great live-aboard for a couple. On passage, you hotbunk the quarter-berth and in port, use the forepeak. Great galley, and a clear saloon with a stove for cooler climes. Definitely the best heads I’ve ever seen on a yacht of this vintage. A self-tacking headsail is a boon for short handed sailing, plus its great to be able to tack your way through a crowded anchorage, with zero fuss or clatter. It looks like a thoroughly competent rig to me. I can see her snugged down for the night with a couple of reefs in the main and maybe one in the staysail, surging along through a cloud of phosphorescence in the early, early hours, while her skipper keeps comfortable, dry watch and their mate sleeps snuggly in the quarter-berth just below. Stop dreaming. You’re 80 and those days are behind you now.
It might been an older boat, but it is a really interesting boat in this size and sure for a real interesting size. My family had a 44 Ancora( a copy of the Hatteras) in Germany. Really much greater, but something makes me fell in love with this sail boat. I hope that it will get a new good owner!
From reading Eric Hiscock, I know that the cutout at the aft end of the straight settee is known as a "trotter box," because that's where your trotters, or feet, go.
I was so impressed with this boat I did some further research. The boat is basically bullet proof. Fiberglass hull with Airex core. You'll never have to worry about core rotting out. The boat, The Slocum boats, were built by Formosa. For single handed sailing this is my dream boat. Looking at other Slocum boats this one is the nicest one I saw. The icing on the cake was the wood stove. The candle on the cake was the tiller. Jordan, totally awesome.
Neat boat, although the wood stove looks a bit sketchy to walk past if at anchor and getting rocked a bit. I can't imagine trying to use while under way.
@@johnwright456 My main concern is logs, debris and ice. All of which could lead to issues. A fiber glass boat can be punctured. Steel? No. An by the way, a mine hitting that fiberglass can still damage it. But then mines are likely a lot deeper than these sailing boats. It is not like TV says. they did not bounce on the surface. They were anchored below the water so when they exploded, they punched a hole in a ship that was below the water line.
Did you mention any sort of self-steering? Very important on a traveling boat. In the aft laserette it looked as if a rudder position transducer installed but don’t see any other components. Nice boat.
Likewise. I lived in the north for too long chasing the almighty dollar and now that I'm semi-retired my fantasy juices are are on full blast. All I really need now is an experienced sailor to tutor me through the intricacies of sailing and maintaining a boat. I loved the money working up north but I think that I have left it way too long to get out and spend it.
Great boat 🤩, but with respect, there is no such thing as a “vertical windlass”. It’s a “capstan”, a winch with a vertical shaft/drum. The halyard winches on the mast are windlasses. It is mechanically possible to have windlass driving a capstan, so maybe this is where the confusion emanates from? Nice video!
Wow I like that boat it would be perfect for me since I am single again and all my kids are grown. Please when you show boats like this always include asking price. And thanks for the tour and info.
@@robertgranafei2781 Thanx for that. I'd call it a downgrade then, because even the HC33 boasts a private aft cabin and a separate stall shower. Makes me wonder where the other 3ft went...
@@tedthesailor172 Different designers, The 36 was a Bob Perry design, which I understand he never received full payment for. The 33T was done by Harwood Ives, who also did the 38 and 43 series.
Now this is cool -makes up for your prior goofs. Must still remember, though, that it is just an eighty grand rotting hole in the water into which one will pour many, many tens of thousands of more dollars.
I like video boat tours, but this one is sickening, literally, so much camera movement. Try a stationary shot while you BRIEFLY describe the subject. And stop saying, I really like this. It's about the boat; not you.
£82000 isn't affordable, especially for a green boat, not worth over 25k, but nice boat. but to me an affordable boat that needs minor tlc would be a 15k 36ft boat from the 80's
Not a fan of these East Coast Nova Scotia boats. About as ugly as they come, and that's from a Canadian. This one is better than most of the recent boats which are just plain weird.
i shake my head at some of these comments. My faves are the ones who bothered to comment that they like another kind of boat - and how about the "sailor" who would never buy a tiller boat...??! Let's put to rest the notion that tiller steering means you can't leave the helm: I had a 30 foot tiller boat, and i equipped it with a Tiller Minder, a small gadget that screws to the tiller. The Tiller Minder holds two jam cleats with fairleads. Thread a stout line through it, attach to cleats on both sides of the cockpit, et voila! You could also rig up your own tiller minder... For serious long cruises, though, you'll want a good wind vane or autopilot - whether you're steering with a wheel or a stick.
Your 'salon table' is actually called a Butler's Table. The wides fold up so that it can be carried. It comes off your table base, to go wherever it needs, mostly the galley for populating. That's why those handles are in it. You can use it to carry stuff out to the cockpit. That's what it's meant for.
Love all the cleverly designed woodwork, no expensive and high-tech catches to break and cause huge amounts of pollution in their production, just hand built carpentry. I would happily live on that.
I don't know, I was thinking of making an offer but then you pointed out that missing door. : - \ And then using the term "Tub" in connection with a sailboat isn't so good (LOL). Actually I think this is a very nice older sailboat. If I actually had the money I might love owning it. I must include that there is something about canoe stern boats that I'm not that keen on. But they are supposed to be good in following seas. PS - My sailboat was made in Nova Scotia, Canada so I've got that connection to a boat that is moored probably close to where my sailboat was made.
Ever come across a boat with a workshop on board? A DIY guy can make his own from a couple of double berth cabins, but I wondered if you ever came across it since you look at a lot of commercial trawler cruiser conversions. It would be difficult to imagine living without a garage/workshop to build and tinker in. I'm surprised there aren't more mechanics and carpenters in the liveaboard lifestyle. Seems like great skills to earn a living on the coastal waters at various places.
Way too expensive for a 35 year old boat of this size. I get it, the guy bought it on the cheap and cleaned it up and threw a coat of paint on it to turn a buck. The price on this boat already dropped to 62k over at YachtWorld.
Yeah honestly I mean it's in great condition, but I look for around 1k/foot on anything between 30-40ft boats of this age as a normal baseline price. A bit more if it's got loads of kit or a recent refit etc
While I agree this seems a bit overpriced (though not grossly I suppose), the list price here CDN. The list price on YW is US. And with the change in currency, it's the same price listed here in CDN. No price reduction between listings.

Not ugly. Beautiful hull. Better sea boat than many of the new designs of today.
Slower but more seaworthy and much stronger hull than ANYTHING manufactured today
It would look fine with the cushions recovered.

The little hatch is also a dust sweep ....
Riverport, Nova Scotia! My house is across the river!
A beautiful classic boat. I love it.
Absolutely beautiful! Great tour!
That’s a grizzly wood stove from Canada. They work great

@@ellelyn2000 I was remarking on how beautifully sculpted it was. You just don't see that high wooden art on boats anymore.
Pure function, which insures elegant lines.
I like it , unique and has character 😊
That looks like an Ed Monk design, a Skookum 34, his last from1972, I think. Skookum Boats from Port Townsend made them and sold bare hulls and decks.
Nice boat. Take her out and have fun. The seas are calling!
Neat boat, although the wood stove looks a bit sketchy to walk past if at anchor and getting rocked a bit. I can't imagine trying to use while under way.
Love it! I wish it was made from steel instead of glass. but the layout is perfect.
Is steel better in your area? Where I go boating got few mined areas from ww2 so not want steel in my boat.

I'm pretty sure that in the notes at the end it mentions that the boat is equipped with an auto-pilot.
Proof that even ugly boats are interesting to tour. And, ugly it wouldn't be with a nice paint job. It's old style solid! I like it.
reminds me of a tank or half-track. awesome though no doubt
The 'little tub' is for soaking your feet. A little forgotten sailing fact that placing your feet in water eliminates the symptoms of seasickness.
My only complaint is a cockpit you can't stretch out in. My favorite place for daytime napping.
Sweet boat and great tour!
Beautiful boat. I want it!
