There are *many, many* boats out there, perfectly safe. seaworthy, and capable, requiring very little (if any) work for under $10,000. People think that sailing is this expensive activity/hobby, and it doesn't have to be at all. And on something like this, the total cost of ownership is trivial. There is nothing complicated about this boat at all, and the upkeep costs will be next to nothing. On the water, under sail, this boat will turn the heads of anyone who sails regularly. If there is one thing I wish this channel had more of, is video of these boats under sail. I bet this boat is beautiful.
I enjoy this show more when you feature affordable yachts. This one is not just affordable but aesthetically pleasing and in reasonable decent condition!
RICK UNDERSTAND that all our boats are afrdable at different level you might affor this on and amillionaire might only be able to ' afford" the Oyster but only the billionaire can afford an older million dollar Huisman so affordability is purely relative right ?
@@YachtHunters ,,,,,,,right, indeed! Maybe I should have said the "less costly boats." I do enjoy all the videos and thanks for the continuous firsthand nautical knowledge you impart every video.
So maybe "attainable for the Everyman sailing enthusiast" is what he means by affordable. I get what he's saying. Nice to see a boat that looks nice and seems like a daydream price point not a fever dream one.
Guys, I checked the International Sailboat Data Base: this boat has a whopping 37.41 on the blue water Comfort Ratio and a dazzling Capsize Screening Formula of 1.55! Fantastic! The boat deserves a total refit at that price. As I do most of my sailing these days with my son who lives in Sweden, I will look for more yachts with similar "old school" virtues. Many thanks to the both of you for bringing us up the learning curve on boat building, rigging and the issues of handling of vintage technology!
I'm so glad you're back to affordable boats! Not that big expensive yachts aren't cool, but anyone can talk about how rich a rich thing is. The cheaper boats not only are more affordable and relatable, it's also a lot more interesting to find* the good and fun things within the much bigger pool of average offerings. This boat is the one I most see myself buying in the channel even if it's not my most dreamed. I can see myself spending 4.5k USD on this old girl and having fun fixing the little that needs fixed in it, and going the hell sailing!
You nailed it this week Captain! You are absolutely correct that with a good garage sale and some sweat equity, owning and enjoying a beautiful classic is within the reach of most any man or woman. Keep 'em coming!
As a 38 yr old single father large boats are just out of my league at the moment,currently prepping my 1978 hereshoffe designed chrysler 26 for great lakes adventures. Thankyou so much captian Q for showing off some more modest boats that the average young man can use to enter the addicting world of sailing!
As a carpenter, I would have a blast refurbishing this baby. Think I'd find a way of shortening one of the settees into a love seat and adding a combination chart/mess table. BTW my garage sale starts NOW!
Dear God if only you were in my back yard. I'd Love and cherish you. I'd be your fountain of youth. You'd be better then knew for your years. So beautiful. I know your Sold. I know also for I've had dreams like this before. Something to good to be true. Imagine who ever you will be the adventures in this all together one of a kind. Really, the patina the age the vintage qualities. Isn't it always True? That we always have the money after. Just after sometimes after scrambling to make things work? Oh this boat is a dream boat. A single handler that only needs brought back to be the most beautiful boat on the ocean. Wow! Just Wow. If a person could scramble the money to not only buy the boat but have it shipped to Santa Fa New Mexico who would they call. I was born dreaming about sailing. Still do. Thankfully I know the feeling. Sailed a 28 ft sloop with my family for weeks at a time up on a Lake in the Adirondacks. My first sailboat was a sunfish then I graduated to a wind surfer. Then after college after getting married and starting a family we decided to buy a boat. Three glorious years before hitting the road and finding our ways out West just 12 hours from the Pacific or the Gulf of Mexico. Oh my. So you see? I've been waiting for a boat like this one. A boat to Love all winter. Captain Q, your the living example of the dream. Seeing you turn youthful before our eyes has inspired me. I'm 54 years old. We, Alyssum the Love of my lifetime and myself have three children. Guyaton Carmen and Max from oldest to youngest. Max wasn't born until after we owned our sailboat. Anyway I've been watching over a few years now. Just a fan. Thank you The last few boats, well as great as they are this one is better and more valuable. 300,000 couldn't by this. Only thing buying this one is Love. Best wishes everyone
I love how Cap is always in the "just drop her in the water and go" mode. Float it and fix it as you go. So often on sailing channels they spend so much time fixing even what could wait. Seems like they forget the first idea, to just go sail.. Nice find guys. Get one of these in a barn and have fun making her look pretty
Not sure we should be punting health supplements. Probably better to push proper foods. I find it ironic that the number one nation for the consumption of fast foods is also #1 for supplements. U can’t find health in a pill.
@@YachtHunters The reliance on potions and pills in America is having a profound negative affect. It’s a habit that is way too casual. I have a friend who moved to US 12 years ago who rattles with the amount of prescription drugs he takes yet went to the doctor here last month who told him he don’t need any of them. They r not sweeties and supplements are as useful as a choc fireguard for the average person.
At $4500 it's a steal. Even if you put another $10,000 to $15,000 in it you would still have a very nice coastal cruiser at a very respectful price. Some Valspar and she would be looking good. I actually could have bought that boat with a garage sale I had and still had some money left over, and that's not counting the car I sold. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
The problem with this small yacht is the lack of mast support in the passage to the bow. The owner has attempted to stabilize it by screwing metal plates inside and outside, because the pressure from the mast has caused the cabin roof to bulge inward.
If you’ve ever see the 😢his Old Boat channel it’s full of these little sailors and the stories of their owners and how well they do sailing mostly out of Southern England. They have an annual Around the Island competition so they must be very capable.
Nice one! I met Robert Henry when I was 12 and he was head of small boat design for the US Navy. I'd drawn (I had no math or instruments) a 30 foot full keel cuddy sloop and a friend of my dad's got me an introduction at RH's office. At the time I thought I'd like to go to Webb and be a naval architect and so I was thrilled when he said he thought it would float on it's lines. Of course RH did all of the International series. The first of a line of NA's I met over the years in the business and always an enriching experience.
Y’all have got my desire to own a sailboat at a peak. I know I probably need to start with a trailerable but I dream of the day I can retire to a 36’ or better. My love for this lifestyle grows by each video. Thank you for sparking my dreams and aspirations. Hopefully one day. Love y’all’s videos.
Hello there you guys! Well well well. ~ Another sweetie. ~. I think you've helped me decide.(at least for now). I am seriously considering taking the cast iron flip down keel arrangement on my Hunter 23 completely off the boat, then glass in a centerboard trunk and go with that. (I have a neighbor with a McGregor 26 with water ballast ~ so jealous) ~ Then with zero weight and zero draft, trailer the boat to the deep north next Summer (really big lakes in Canada). Ballast with river rock and just "sail around" for a month. Oh yea the other thing ~ Now dubbed "Aobba Comanche" (not sure of the current sponsor and owner) ~ Ya know ~ Jim Clark, Kenny Read (North Sails) the Hodgdon Yacht yard there in East Booth Bay (where the boat was built) ~ but there in Sydney Harbor on Monday (maybe Sunday for Sydney) the "Maxi Yachts" (all kind of like Comanche) were "Crushed" by, well, the fastest boat in the world. So Comanche is still up and sailing and it looks like it's perpetually for sale. Watch the oh so beautiful video this week from Sydney Harbor!
I think its great to get product endorsements. Vitamins, though they are a great product, I think your views would be more likely to be inspired by, lets say Captain Morgans Rum. Probably a distant relative of Capt Q. Great show .
Sailing can be cheap, wind is free. If you can get an inexpensive (or free !) mooring or slip the entry-cost is attainable to many. The things that cost a bit are storage, haulage and sails and lines. I've day-sailed without an engine for 10 years. This particular boat shown here is a bargain, well built but also pleasing to the eye, with historical significance in both design and ownership history.
I really appreciate your channel. Approaching retirement at an alarming pace, the sea is calling me back. Thanks for showing us the different models and the histories behind them. I’ll be on the water again soon and this channels content is helping me whittle down the models I should be looking at. Keep them coming!
Sailing is my retirement plan. In this economy, I'd never be able to afford a home or apartment on SS. I'll buy me a 45 ft (any smaller wouldn't be comfortable, any bigger would be difficult to sail solo) bluewater cruiser and spend as much time at free anchorages as possible, paying for slips only when I absolutely have to.
I must say …. I am also a fan of the canned meat world … can fish … canned octopus, mussels, clams … a loaf of good bread …a outlet of wine and canned meat with a good chunk of cheese or canned fish and I am a happy guy sitting on the oks on the top of a mountain …
How do u find all these old boats with no problems with engine, decking, stays, sails, leaks, keel bolts, or rudder? How do u check engine and packing out of water?
I'm jealous of the deals in the US.. I'm in Australia and I'd like an older boat capable of adventuring south east Asia. This one looks a nice boat for someone
I do love the boat and completely agree with captains rating. This is a much better boat for me and I could afford this boat. A few cosmetic things that I myself could fix. Captain you are one of a kind and if you are single I’d probably flirt with you. You both are just the greatest and I look forward each week to see the wide variety of boats you show. Always a surprise!
Beverly you do an old heart good..truth be told i would probably flirt back as i do with each of the girls we interview each week lol thank you ...ill let you know when the single papers arrive
Listening to this man trying to catch a breath is literally freaking me out. I had to turn it off at 23 mins. My claustrophobia was kicking in so hard that I had to stop watching it. I hope this poor guy have the proper help at home so he can actually breathe normally. His heart is gonna blow if he keeps this stuff up. He almost can't breathe and he talks and talks and talks. God bless his heart, that's old school stuff
Solid old boat but proceed with caution. I could see rewiring the entire boat stem to stern, and refurbishing the diesel, redoing the cushions. I'd also loose that soft headliner and replace it with a wood solid headliner. LED lights throughout, a better prop and a good hull cleaning / painting will make this old girl sing.
A good starter sailboat at a great price and it looks like it only needs some TLC to help it look like a very nice 32’ boat. Thanks Captain Q with your overview. Your videos have help me understand a little bit more about the boating world. Maybe someday I will find myself purchasing one
You always want to check all the sea cocks and hoses and the stuffing box to keep floating, and the electrics to keep from burning, but that is the same with every boat. This is with out a doubt the best deal on the channel since the start!
Buy this boat get it to Atom Voyager and have a blast when he’s done with it. Or you can do it yourself. If you have the time, space, tools, and know how. A great little boat with possibilities. This could make someone’s sailing dreams come true.
An interior mast support cannot be implemented because it would block the passage to the bow. The bulkhead cannot bear the pressure of the mast because the passage to the bow cabin is located at that point.
Sailboat Data lists the displacement as 11,200 pounds (5,080 kg). There is no listing for ballast. That is one sweet boat. Captain Q keep up the good work, I always look forward to your reviews.
So old school but so much cooler than a Pearson Vanguard, real wood. Nice lines. Old school winches have to go!! Love transom detail, not quite the Alan Payne wineglass found on late 70s Columbia's
I got my first real sailing yacht last Christmas for $4500 USD. After pulling the rusted Yanmar 12 hp anchor out and dropping in a 48 hp Volvo penta 2003t and alot of R&R she's almost ready to take my maiden voyage from Port Orchard Washington, up the sound, out the Straights of Juan de Fuca and down the coast to the Columbia river and upstream to Vancouver USA. It's a 1976 Camper & Nicholson 33' masthead sloop. #39 of 63 based on the 1975 winner of the Fastnet Golden Delicious. I still need to decide on a name but aside from that she's ready to go. I'll admit that I'm a little bit nervous considering I've only sailed twice before on a 12' sailboat in Miller bay. Wish me luck and thanks for uploading cool stuff on youtube.
Rippa ! Now scrounging thru my old Piggy Banks and pockets for loose change......Now, how do I get her home to Oz ? Either you ole 'salt's' want to volunteer !
Hello from the west coast 👋I like this one a lot .It's simple and basic and not trying to be something she's not just a feel good let's go play for the day or weekend and have some fun .and yes the hull is over thick .that's because at that time people were not sure how strong and durable fiberglass was .Her hull is most likely 1/2 to 5 /8 inch thick all glass .and that plate under the mast was most likely added because the cabin roof was not strong enough to support the stress of movement that was being transmitted from the mast to the roof . She will make a great first boat for anyone including a beginner .and if I'm not mistaken because of her weight you can trailer her to move from place to place she should be short enough that when the mast is removed and because of her gross weight it can be towed behind a pickup truck Using a properly built trailer .Yep a real fun boat to have at a real great price you can't go wrong hear.
Cpt'n Q likes to talk about "swinging a cat". Is this true??? "We have all heard about the infamous cat of nine tails used to punish sailors in the Royal Navy by flogging. But did you know the cat was kept in a canvas bag which is where the term “letting the cat out of the bag” came from. And here is another bit of trivia: the bosun, or his mate, needed a clear space on deck to use the cat or, as the saying goes, “enough room to swing a cat”."
thats a great piece rings a tiny bell and makes sense i had often heard the word "dead" inserted before cat but can't use that hahaha maybe the cat in the bag felt dead before it came out of the bag ???

What a breath of fresh air, of a channel/ show you two have put together here. Standout dynamic between you two with great upbeat and fun energy, notably quick clip plus solid production qualities. My only concern? Captain Q should absolutely get onto a health kick; I have led launching and turning around far more companies than most stretching decades now, including in Medtech and healthcare. So I’ve spent loads of time with leading experts from numerous disciplines including national and internationally noted leaders in cardio and more. Learned a whole lot. One result of that is I’ve literally helped save some lives due my “higher gain and fidelity radar” than most; one of those was a seasoned and highly successful investment banker and another “near save” was a “quiet billionaire philanthropist”. The near save was because he very nearly died soon after I didn’t push strongly enough with him and his executive assistant; he had just had a full work up with his Doctor who saw no issues. Doctors are human too.
Captain Q, this is why I’m a Patron and a fan! But, I’m really missing you every week…or even every other week. You are in my prayers and I hope you are well…we just don’t know. This episode has me wanting to buy this boat (which is sold)…please let us know how you are! Take care…
About 1970 I had a chance to test out a $2000 fiberglas lake sailboat. It scooted across Benbrook Lake just fine in a light breeze, tacked and handled great, but there was no room to speak of in the cabin - it would be a 'cubbie cabin' if it were a motorboat. Nothing but a vee berth, but no cushions. I passed on the boat - I was not much of a lake person. But had I been near saltwater, near a calm bay, yes this baby would have been right up my idea of a starter boat that might never need upgrading for a very long time. No stove? Pack sandwiches and some salad fixings to get you through the day, and add a can of Sterno, a camp stove, anything to heat up some coffee anytime. If it's got a 12v lighter plug there are coffee pots that use 12v power like that. Umm, nice little boat, I'd make sure to get a cartridge toilet so I would not have that stuff sitting in the boat. They are practically giving it away. It is not free, I suspect because they want the boat to have an owner with a sense of investment. But it's not so expensive that it will not sell because there is a 36 footer nearby for just a few thousand dollars more.
Consider working on responding on the comments and questions written to you. They give you and the viewers a chance to learn more about the boats visited and you also.

I completely understand, she looks just right! Beautiful bones! May I have her in my back yard for a season of loving please?
Deal! if i had gotten to her i might have chartered herto your back yard for the summer Cost: your can of varnish and sandpaper
Thanks for sharing RITUAL ! I appreciate good health tip and this company sounds great.
That boat won't last long at that price. Veddy Cool!
poof !!! gone!
Put a good $35,000 into it and it would be perfect!
and sell it for 75k remember the lyman morse daysailer for over 300k

sold just days before episode launch

How do u find all these old boats with no problems with engine, decking, stays, sails, leaks, keel bolts, or rudder? How do u check engine and packing out of water?
I'm jealous of the deals in the US.. I'm in Australia and I'd like an older boat capable of adventuring south east Asia. This one looks a nice boat for someone
I do love the boat and completely agree with captains rating. This is a much better boat for me and I could afford this boat. A few cosmetic things that I myself could fix. Captain you are one of a kind and if you are single I’d probably flirt with you. You both are just the greatest and I look forward each week to see the wide variety of boats you show. Always a surprise!
Beverly you do an old heart good..truth be told i would probably flirt back as i do with each of the girls we interview each week lol thank you ...ill let you know when the single papers arrive
Listening to this man trying to catch a breath is literally freaking me out. I had to turn it off at 23 mins. My claustrophobia was kicking in so hard that I had to stop watching it.
I hope this poor guy have the proper help at home so he can actually breathe normally. His heart is gonna blow if he keeps this stuff up. He almost can't breathe and he talks and talks and talks. God bless his heart, that's old school stuff
All a sailor needs
Wow that's a lot of boat per dollar!
yup
I’d buy that in the morning and sail her back to Kerry in a jiffy, super sweet value lady!
Solid old boat but proceed with caution. I could see rewiring the entire boat stem to stern, and refurbishing the diesel, redoing the cushions. I'd also loose that soft headliner and replace it with a wood solid headliner. LED lights throughout, a better prop and a good hull cleaning / painting will make this old girl sing.
Heavy breathing Sir, please check with your doctor and take care of your health 😊
A good starter sailboat at a great price and it looks like it only needs some TLC to help it look like a very nice 32’ boat. Thanks Captain Q with your overview. Your videos have help me understand a little bit more about the boating world. Maybe someday I will find myself purchasing one
do all the homework you can you will make it
Ran-day! what a great boat and great video
And a great price, right? I mean she needs a little love but that’s cheaper than most roadworthy used cars right now
Cap't Q I'm going to start a GO FUND MY NEW PILLOW PAGE for you! Very well behaved dog you got there, no vet bills!
please hurry Nicholas....i am not getting younger and tempus fugit lol
"Randay.."
You always want to check all the sea cocks and hoses and the stuffing box to keep floating, and the electrics to keep from burning, but that is the same with every boat. This is with out a doubt the best deal on the channel since the start!
i thought so but was too late to figure out how to get it in my driveway lol
Buy this boat get it to Atom Voyager and have a blast when he’s done with it. Or you can do it yourself. If you have the time, space, tools, and know how. A great little boat with possibilities. This could make someone’s sailing dreams come true.
James Balwin small craft sailing genius
What a great little survivor. Nice little boat👍
i like the "survivor " note thanks
An interior mast support cannot be implemented because it would block the passage to the bow. The bulkhead cannot bear the pressure of the mast because the passage to the bow cabin is located at that point.
Sailboat Data lists the displacement as 11,200 pounds (5,080 kg). There is no listing for ballast. That is one sweet boat. Captain Q keep up the good work, I always look forward to your reviews.
So old school but so much cooler than a Pearson Vanguard, real wood. Nice lines. Old school winches have to go!!
Love transom detail, not quite the Alan Payne wineglass found on late 70s Columbia's
You got that right!
All of us need some TLC at 57, but are still functioning. 😉
I like that boat too. I think you need to spend $10k more once you buy it but you would them have a beautiful boat.
I got my first real sailing yacht last Christmas for $4500 USD. After pulling the rusted Yanmar 12 hp anchor out and dropping in a 48 hp Volvo penta 2003t and alot of R&R she's almost ready to take my maiden voyage from Port Orchard Washington, up the sound, out the Straights of Juan de Fuca and down the coast to the Columbia river and upstream to Vancouver USA.
It's a 1976 Camper & Nicholson 33' masthead sloop. #39 of 63 based on the 1975 winner of the Fastnet Golden Delicious. I still need to decide on a name but aside from that she's ready to go. I'll admit that I'm a little bit nervous considering I've only sailed twice before on a 12' sailboat in Miller bay. Wish me luck and thanks for uploading cool stuff on youtube.
Nice one. Thanks. Bring her to Maine - Winnegance Bay for a nice sail with us.
Next time!
Oh for heavens sakes no one cares about a pretty bow.. What shape is the deck in what about the mechanics
Rippa ! Now scrounging thru my old Piggy Banks and pockets for loose change......Now, how do I get her home to Oz ? Either you ole 'salt's' want to volunteer !
dont forget living room couch pillowsand... dig way deep ....but wear gloves
Don’t look now Captain but Randy stole your shoes.
You couldn’t buy a brand new laser for that money.
Pocket cruiser. A little modernization and solo sailor could cross an ocean in her.
Hello from the west coast 👋I like this one a lot .It's simple and basic and not trying to be something she's not just a feel good let's go play for the day or weekend and have some fun .and yes the hull is over thick .that's because at that time people were not sure how strong and durable fiberglass was .Her hull is most likely 1/2 to 5 /8 inch thick all glass .and that plate under the mast was most likely added because the cabin roof was not strong enough to support the stress of movement that was being transmitted from the mast to the roof . She will make a great first boat for anyone including a beginner .and if I'm not mistaken because of her weight you can trailer her to move from place to place she should be short enough that when the mast is removed and because of her gross weight it can be towed behind a pickup truck Using a properly built trailer .Yep a real fun boat to have at a real great price you can't go wrong hear.
sorry weight was in error she was 11,000# opps
@@YachtHunters I had my doubt's but who am i to question C.Q. and Randi the magnificent .😀
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
This is along my lines.
🌞🌴⛵️
Cpt'n Q likes to talk about "swinging a cat". Is this true??? "We have all heard about the infamous cat of nine tails used to punish sailors in the Royal Navy by flogging. But did you know the cat was kept in a canvas bag which is where the term “letting the cat out of the bag” came from. And here is another bit of trivia: the bosun, or his mate, needed a clear space on deck to use the cat or, as the saying goes, “enough room to swing a cat”."
thats a great piece rings a tiny bell and makes sense
i had often heard the word "dead" inserted before cat but can't use that hahaha maybe the cat in the bag felt dead before it came out of the bag ???
From the Ritual website... "* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease "
but Randay has been evaluated.....we are awaiting the result and will post with total transparency.... or translucency..lol
I'll.ponsor 1 ad free Walterian ep, fair?
I love that boat.
She’s very sweet 👍
Man, what a great yacht and for the price of a couple of new surf boards and fins. Great find again Captain and loved the sharky socks...
thank you nipped at my heels all day
@@YachtHunters hahaha
What a breath of fresh air, of a channel/ show you two have put together here. Standout dynamic between you two with great upbeat and fun energy, notably quick clip plus solid production qualities. My only concern? Captain Q should absolutely get onto a health kick; I have led launching and turning around far more companies than most stretching decades now, including in Medtech and healthcare.
So I’ve spent loads of time with leading experts from numerous disciplines including national and internationally noted leaders in cardio and more. Learned a whole lot.
One result of that is I’ve literally helped save some lives due my “higher gain and fidelity radar” than most; one of those was a seasoned and highly successful investment banker and another “near save” was a “quiet billionaire philanthropist”. The near save was because he very nearly died soon after I didn’t push strongly enough with him and his executive assistant; he had just had a full work up with his Doctor who saw no issues. Doctors are human too.
Cute boat. Cheers to you.
Captain Q, this is why I’m a Patron and a fan! But, I’m really missing you every week…or even every other week. You are in my prayers and I hope you are well…we just don’t know. This episode has me wanting to buy this boat (which is sold)…please let us know how you are! Take care…
Your sponsor should be Dinty Moore! Come aboard, folks! They have already got plenty of airtime, and myself among others are having it for dinner!♥️♥️
Maybe one day!
after all, Dinty is the beer of food
It feels like im hanging out with two cool uncles
Thank you for this episode, very inspiring for sailors of limited means, and for introducing us (me) to Hara Noda.
sorry.....hara noda ???
@@YachtHunters The jazz pianist at the end of this video.
About 1970 I had a chance to test out a $2000 fiberglas lake sailboat. It scooted across Benbrook Lake just fine in a light breeze, tacked and handled great, but there was no room to speak of in the cabin - it would be a 'cubbie cabin' if it were a motorboat. Nothing but a vee berth, but no cushions. I passed on the boat - I was not much of a lake person. But had I been near saltwater, near a calm bay, yes this baby would have been right up my idea of a starter boat that might never need upgrading for a very long time. No stove? Pack sandwiches and some salad fixings to get you through the day, and add a can of Sterno, a camp stove, anything to heat up some coffee anytime. If it's got a 12v lighter plug there are coffee pots that use 12v power like that. Umm, nice little boat, I'd make sure to get a cartridge toilet so I would not have that stuff sitting in the boat. They are practically giving it away. It is not free, I suspect because they want the boat to have an owner with a sense of investment. But it's not so expensive that it will not sell because there is a 36 footer nearby for just a few thousand dollars more.
Consider working on responding on the comments and questions written to you. They give you and the viewers a chance to learn more about the boats visited and you also.
we try our best Mike ..but we welcome viewers writing back if we miss their note
Point of order: CPT Q went under a ladder counting thru holes on Ran Day's new boat>.
Good eye!! Perhaps that lead to the disaster launch
Boat requires way too much work rotted wood all over
Looks similar to the Cape Dory 25.
i just bought an old saab for 4,900
What gem in the rough. I hope to see a boat of the year episode.
thank you
This is a gem of a boat.
And Concordias finally get a mention!
we will get to them
Preciate the knowledge about the keel. I just got informed about bolt on keels. Your honesty could save a blue water sailors life.
ill give them 6K, just drop it off in the Philippines for me 😁
too late
