Tim love your show. We have The ultimate true 35 best boat ever for 2 people that’s a floating condo and sails fine for us. Check out the Catalina 350. Several serious differences that make it amazing including a pedestal V berth with a real inner spring mattress
I have a 1983 Catalina 36 MK1, and I'm insured through Progressive. I pay $1150 a year for $500k liability, comprehensive, and some other coverages - I added the coverage for towing, jump starts, fuel for the extra $30 (for a little over $0.50 a month that seems worth it). BTW: My boat is moored along the Connecticut River.
Geez that’s pretty good. I’ve been insured by progressive for years on my vehicles but when I tried to add my 23’ center console boat with $50k worth of coverage they quoted me $5,800 a year. For a boat I only use 10 times a year nah.

Hey..how about some Scandinavian boats like C-34 Sweden Yachts or Scannmar 35.? Or HS ? They are way better than those presented for the more-or-less same price.
1985 Islander P40 $1800/yr for $30,000 in coverage... premium went way up without the Diesel discount (boat is all electric)... I declined the policy and now only have liability... I want to reflag the boat in Portugal and get insurance with Pantainius and drop State Farm...
I need to ask a question?? I have a S2 8.0 it has a 4-stroke 15 horsepower tiller motor on the back... can I put a regular motor on there that's not a tiller motor?? I want about a 30 horsepower, can I put a regular 4-stroke 30 horsepower motor that is not a tiller motor??? And thank you again
Hey. That is not a good idea. Displacement hulls only go a certain speed based on the hull. For your boat that is approx. 6.2kn. Adding power won't change that because the hull cannot plane. Are you asking if you can put an inboard engine inside the boat instead of an outboard?
Ahoy, all you salty scally wagers. My little 20' nordica thinks she's 30' but don't have the heart to tell her any different... any who she's out on the hard right now on the north tip of Cape breton Island and fully insured with the cooperators. I don't know how much it costs me but I think it's not too much because my wife still talks to me, and she pays all the bills. Great episode, and I will call you when I go searching for my Hans Christian Captain of the Black Whale
I made voyages on my 34 and 35 foot boats. I never thought of insurance. I had no broadcast radios, and GPS didn't exist. I knew a few yachties who disappeared at sea in the late 70s. If the sun and horizon weren't visible, we became increasingly uncertain as to our position. We had no way of knowing what the weather would bring. Aside from having good charts, we might as well have been sailing centuries earlier. Sometimes the charts weren't so good, either. The positions of the atolls of the NW Pacific weren't known with any great certainty, and the currents are strong and erratic there. These factors led to some harrowing experiences.
This is quickly become one of my favorite sailing channels. The topics are great and the information is outstanding. YT is usually pretty far off when recommending channels but it nailed it right on the head this time.
After reading the comments, I'm thinking I have a great bargain on liability insurance: - 1988 Island Packet 38, cruised between FL and ME - Liability only: 300k / Fuel Spill $1M / Uninsured Boater $300k - Towing & Assistance $3k / incident - Cost went from $380 annually in 2021 to $452 in 2022 - Ive had this policy with BoatUS/Geico since 2001 with no claims Blackheart Charlie s/v Aurora, Key West
1983 - Bristol 35.5CB - Progressive. This is a sweet boat, loads of beautiful interior wood work, shallow draft with the center board up, does great in both light and high wind, and fairly fast too. Rock solid construction. Galley is a bit small, but the 1984 version has a larger U-shaped kitchen.
I personally went and looked at the PS 37 in Redwood City. It was indeed only worth 22K. It needed re-powering, new rigging and sails if you intended to actually take into the Ocean. Puttering around the SF Bay would have been fine but the previous owner was a live abort and didn't sail much. He had moved to Seattle and needed to dump the boat.
State Farm offers cruisers insurance on most vessels subject to only two caveats: You are only insured in the US and Bahamas waters or on routes between, and that your boat is strictly non-commercial. There is no restriction on when you have to be where, so you don't have to relocate for hurricane season if you don't want to. Rates are usually between 1% and 1.5% of the limits of liability annually. I don't yet have a boat, I'm shopping, but that is the gist of the info I got from my insurance agent.
Cal 20 - 1964, rider on my home insurance for “toys” for just liability. It’s a very cheap boat, but just needed insurance for the marina. Cost me $40 a year. :). Company is Mutual of Enumclaw. Boat is in the Pacific Northwest.
As someone who is planning to purchase a sailboat and spend time in the Caribbean. I would love to see a video (you may have done one already) on purchasing/renting/finding a permanent slip to keep your boat in a good location that allows travel to and from the states when work demands you return back. We plan to spend half time on boat and half in our NC mountain home. Suggestions? Thanks for the videos and information.
I'd hold-off on buying a sailboat right now, wait about 6 months. In the PNW, I am seeing 30 ft Catalinas 1980's vintage going for $10K. There are a bunch of used boats coming on the market and prices are crashing down.
@@joeldelamirande5792 includes all the normal stuff, dingy and motor. My deductible is $1200 CAD. I think we pay less on Georgian Bay then the East coast of US. We don't get the same weather.
I'm in North Florida and I have a 1973 Olympic Dolphin 23 and I have it insured through State farm for $140 for the year. It's valued at $8,000 and I honestly am not sure what the total liability is. I think it's 100,000
Would love your feedback on this. We are in the process of purchasing a pristine 1976 Cabot 36 from a wonderful couple who have owned and cared for it like museum piece for 40 years! Stored every year in a custom built garage on their property. In spite of this we are having a hard time finding insurance for both Canada, the U.S. and the Caribbean from a single insurer.
Definitely some nice boats, but i'm surprised there weren't any Hunter boats! They have a lot of boats in the 35ish foot range at really good prices, newer late 90's and early 2000's models too.
I have a Beneteau Oceanis 350 1989, second owner picked her up in 1995, sailed 7200 nm on her all the way up too Bangor Maine down too the Cape. She is the owners version with the shoal 4’ draft wing keel 28 hp Volvo 21 gallon tank, only have 750 hours on her engine. Installed a fresh water back wash for the through hull so I also layup the engine every time , so no growth in the heat exchanger and corrosion down to a minimum in the Elbow, installed a 120amp alternator and an 8D and 4d and starter battery and 85$ hand crank, which I had too use once. It was hard but it worked. Basically my summer house, turned my boys too men. She is on the hard in Greenport, planning her refit. She has air, Frdge , two Freezers, we would take off the Month of August, and plan our trips, she is a very fast boat and points real high. Have been in ruff seas where waves broke at my lower spreaders. The item that we would always run out of is water, water makers at the time very expensive, so that will be part of the refit, a solar arch, and soft solars for the dodger and Bimini, State Farm is my insurance, I was a pilot before plus took my six pack in the day, crewed the liberty cup race for the American Team, as well as other races too Bermuda when I was Young BC (before Children) tactics came real a few times running from weather north of Province, it was so bad I was beating Carvers, was almost planning her with her rails in the water on the aft port beam reach from hell doing 12 knots running away from a Green storm , which later produced water spouts. Yup that is 5 above hull speed but she was all out of the water wear her winged keel and a bit of the hull was in the water with no helm was steering with the sails. Could have sailed to Chicago that day the leeward side was so hard it was like concrete and her pitch and yaw stayed firm like she was a gyroscope, going up and down the following seas with all of the same angles the sails where flying her. Often I did the Wednesday night races in the sound when we kept her in Huntington. We always wanted too cruise more in the Chesapeake, and always the Caribbean , without a water maker a big Nojoy. Now with just the wife, was thinking of refit then make a try in our retirement.. Bravo Zulu on your Channel.
Interesting as we just recently went through this insurance drill because our marina required we have a $1M both liability & accident. After I spent a day talking to a lot of insurance companies, my husband got our State Farm Agent to insure my 1984 O’Day 34. I was at the time talking to The Hartford, who I think was going going to insure me. It was my last call. I’m in Virginia on the Chesapeake Bay.
OK, response from AU so may not be relevant. Are you talking public liability, third party property or owner insurance (comprehensive). I am able to insure a Cole Nantucket 1985 full comprehensive for AUD$800/year costal sailing only
2005 Catalina Capri 22 - Progressive I live in Iowa so she’s only used half the year. We’re also confined to an inland lake that is relatively small. $180 / year
Location matters! I have a 1963 Seawind 30’ located in Caribbean, US flagged. No US insurer is willing to touch it. Tried the boat show special too, no takers. Would be willing to go with liability only. Anyone have ideas ???
Have you personally sailed a 361?.... I chartered one in the BVI back in 2012 and she sailed like a pig....My 35 foot pick? 35 Wauqiuez, sail well, built well, good layout and often found crossing the Pacific...
Geico will not insure an older boat, however, StateFarm,with whom I have my family vehicles insured, has insured my 1974 Yorktown 35 for $93 per year for $500,000 liability…
Hi! I’m fan from Rgentina. I’ ve got a 1987 Peterson 34, secomd hand! I have it since last montj! I’m working hard, but the boat is in really good shape and conservation. What dan you say or know about this boat? Have you ever sail on one? Have you anything to tell me that will help in my restoration? Thanks!
People fret over manufacturers and interior layouts but at the end of the day it's about the experience and capability of the Skipper. Seems like half of the sailing community are lifestyle dreamers, while tommy salt is bouncing his tiny worn out McGregor to the Bahamas every weekend. I'll never pay more than $1000 per linear foot for a sub 40 ft sailboat, but I'll sell you mine after I find something better. 😉
Insurance is mandatory? I guess in this day and age….. of course that complicates my dream of dropping out of society for three years to sail the South Pacific. I probably need to figure another $3,600 for three years insurance into my dream☹️ This dream of mine sure is troubled with hurdles. Of course I’ll lose my tail on a boat since it’s value will only exist if you have a buyer. I will expect to lose 50% on that.
We found coverage for Canada and as far south as New York but no further. We have approached at least 8 or nine brokers so far with no one wanting to touch an older boat for the Caribbean. It’s really baffling. 😳
I have been subscribed for a while thankyou for your vids but I have to ask why what you were sayin about the boats did not match the pics would have more informative and less confusing, visual and audio need to match.{ for me } just want too let you know I care
Ive positively commented on 1 other vid of only a few ive seen from you. The more vids i see of yours the more i wish you well & apreciate your insights. I feel your info is efficient, important/informative & entertaining & straight forward/honest. Thank you soooo much 👍👏👏👏 please dont get wrapped up in "societal/company/politically correcf/woke remarks for $$ makeing. Keep it 3rd person perspective honest & real/down to earth & encourageing to get ppl to sail as ive concluded thus far that you have. Bravo Zulu - job well done 👍👍👍👏👏👏😄🦀🐠🦐🐚🐠🦞🎈
1986 Pearson 303, Geico (Boat US), about $750 / year; 1 million liability and $20K agreed value. Berthed in Warwick, RI. We insured that starting in 2018. This past Spring, I asked them about insuring a 2001 Jenneau Sun Odyssey (it would have been 21 years old at the time) for 90K. They told me the price was just a bit above the top they would allow on a boat of that age. In the end I didn't buy it anyway, but it's a data point I guess.
Have '84 Catalina 30 (4th sail)(project, not bought that way, but on my bucket list). Insurance USBoat, Liability 300/100k only just over $100 per year. Patron, keep up good work Tim = best on utube or anywhere else I've found and have looked around a lot.
This was sometime back but I wasn’t sure if their boats US it was a very good policy that had a lot of international coverage. In the 1990s and ran about $300 a year I bought the boat to Catalina 30 and they even supplied me with a survey.
My ancient, worthless, piece of junk, slower than a petrified sail, but man do I love it 1974 Coronado 23 is insured through Progressive. The cost was reasonable. I sail mostly in a lake in Georgia. Good episode. Thanks, man.
You should better define what you mean by 35 feet. For example, the Pacific Seacraft 37 is a fine boat, but it's less than 28 feet at the waterline. My Nonsuch 30 is a foot longer at the waterline and a foot wider as well. My cabin is nearly as large and the cockpit much larger.
Leave a comment with your boat, year, and who you were able to insure with

Of course I’ll lose my tail on a boat since it’s value will only exist if you have a buyer. I will expect to lose 50% on that.

1985 Helms 32 in Alabama insured through Progressive.
I have a 1983 Ericson 35 mkIII and I have insurance through Progressive.
We found coverage for Canada and as far south as New York but no further. We have approached at least 8 or nine brokers so far with no one wanting to touch an older boat for the Caribbean. It’s really baffling. 😳
Really if you spent 5k on a boat, just get the insurance to cover the requirements in marinas.

what is the best 40ish footer for the hefty gentleman .I had a look at a Swanson 42 and it felt roomy can you recommend something
100% self insured. It has not worked for me, btw. I had a loss too early in the cycle. 😢
1986 Pearson 303, Geico (Boat US), about $750 / year; 1 million liability and $20K agreed value. Berthed in Warwick, RI. We insured that starting in 2018. This past Spring, I asked them about insuring a 2001 Jenneau Sun Odyssey (it would have been 21 years old at the time) for 90K. They told me the price was just a bit above the top they would allow on a boat of that age. In the end I didn't buy it anyway, but it's a data point I guess.
Have '84 Catalina 30 (4th sail)(project, not bought that way, but on my bucket list). Insurance USBoat, Liability 300/100k only just over $100 per year. Patron, keep up good work Tim = best on utube or anywhere else I've found and have looked around a lot.

I know it is a crazy question but why not asking it....where can you get a free sailing boat?
After you get insurance, get a good lawyer, in case you ever have to Make a claim

1979 Formosa insured with Intasure
1984 RL24 - American Modern
1985 Hunter 28.5, Geico
This was sometime back but I wasn’t sure if their boats US it was a very good policy that had a lot of international coverage. In the 1990s and ran about $300 a year I bought the boat to Catalina 30 and they even supplied me with a survey.
My ancient, worthless, piece of junk, slower than a petrified sail, but man do I love it 1974 Coronado 23 is insured through Progressive. The cost was reasonable. I sail mostly in a lake in Georgia. Good episode. Thanks, man.
Hmm How much is reasonable?
Steve, sailing your boats twin brother, the Colombia T-23. Nice having the shallow draft, but doesn't point for shit.
Would you buy a French boat with an iron keel?
Aurora 40 1977 Boat US Geico
You should better define what you mean by 35 feet. For example, the Pacific Seacraft 37 is a fine boat, but it's less than 28 feet at the waterline. My Nonsuch 30 is a foot longer at the waterline and a foot wider as well. My cabin is nearly as large and the cockpit much larger.
Bristol 40 and insured by progressive
Still digging my Pearson 35 and love the fact I can get shallow if I need to.
