$6,000 USD PROVEN Offshore bluewater sailboat for sale! Bristol 27 - EP130
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- We have a 1967 Bristol 27 sailboat for sale this week - designed by Carl Alberg. It has a Monitor Windvane steering system, a really nice/solid dinghy, and an AIS-equipped radio as nice bonuses for a classic sailboat.
A young man graduated from high school and decided he wanted to take a year off and take this classic sailboat and go solo sailing. He took the Bristol 27 and sailed it from Massachusetts to the Caribbean and back over a 9-month period. At $6,000, It's a really fair price given the additional equipment. She needs a little love but you'd be getting a lot for your money here.

It's almost always a good day when a new Captain Q video comes out!
"Almost"? No, it is always a good day!!!
ha ha ha thank you guys you all make my days great!
Only when the boat's asking price is within budget. 50k+ boats are well out of reach for me, especially when considering that you need an additional kitty for obligatory repairs/replacements on top.
If you watch Captain Q long enough, you’ll end up buying a boat. And I’m no different…. Pearson 26 coming home next week. 😮
Wow congrats!! Love to hear it
I live in landlocked Wisconsin these days, so as much I want one, and I do, it's pointless for me to buy one
He got me to buy a Macgregor 25!, reall just got it because it was $400 dollars with all equipment and aluminum trailer.
Same here, bought a seafarer 26 this past fall, happy sailing :)
Same here. I'd been watching for a year before I purchased my Pearson Commander 26 (the older cousin to your boat). Enjoy.
Welcome back Captain Q... you have been missed... great video as always!!!!!!!!!!
I sail an Alberg 30; bigger sister to the Bristol 27 ( and all 6'2" of me can stand up down below). Carl Alberg was a genius, and his boats have sailed everywhere.
My wife and I own a 1967 Bristol 27. We are currently refitting it for next season. It's a lovely boat. We opened up the interior a bit but kept the aesthetic feel of the original.
I met James Baldwin a while back while passing through Brunswick GA. Nice, humble, a good fella. I consider him a fantastic example of living a life of adventure no matter one's background.
Just purchased and read "Across Islands and Oceans". Fantastic book, and I believe really presages the current YT'rs (Holmes included) who, as was said, are purchasing all these 25'-30' boats, and taking them all over the world. The only difference is Baldwin only had a journal and a small film camera. These newer folks are running around with Go-Pros.
Nice convertible car in the new intro, I imagine SeaDog loves riding shotgun with the top down. 👍
Capt.Q got a new blue water Jag
A 40 pointer for $6,000? That is unheard of. Great find Captain and Randay. Someone is going to get the deal of their lives with this jewel in the rough. Thank you gentlemen.
This boat has a lot to deliver and a great backstory as well
Sam Holmes is about as good a sailor as I've ever seen. No drama, no trauma and loves to be on the ocean. his videos are great. This one is a great boat guys. Buy a Monitor and get a seaworthy boat free. Now this a deal. Keep up the great work!
Well said, bob!
Yes I like Sam. He is able to do what he does because he has some great technical and boat working skills. And a lot of appetite for fairly extreme adventure. He is certainly not stamped out of the “normal “ mold. And in his case, that’s a good thing. And look what UMA has done with a pretty terrible boat. Their youth, skills and intelligence and inventiveness/creativity has gotten them where they are. Neither of these people are typical though.
Hard to beat or compete with yewts! Lol
@@YachtHunters These two yewts. Ha ha ha ha. Good one.
This boat needs a LOT of work. It wont be "free"..
Sam bought his current boat, Pickled Herring, for around $10k. Spent a couple of months working on and upgrading it, then sailed it from North Carolina to England, where he’s been sailing it the past 2 seasons all around Northern Europe.
James of Tritea bought his 30' Alberg for $2,500.
I believe his other boat Swedish Fish he sailed to Hawaii was a 23 footer. Can't remember the model.
@@FeelItRising 23' Ranger.
We can put “upgrades” in quotes when it comes to Sam Holmes. Lol
anyone that can drop the dock lines is someone to be admired.
40 points?? I think there's been creeping point inflation on this channel! I remember when most boats barely went above twenty! Nice shout out to Sam Holmes, there.
Sam is a good guy.👍
ahh the good old days ......
Had to come watch a old video and enjoy a few fun minutes with Capt Q..
glad to see you back CQ.
Never really went anywhere, just enjoying Randall's survey series along with many of our viewers.
Thanks for showing the detail on Baldwin's outboard arrangement, tidy 'cheap' solution to repower
❤❤❤now this was my boat in my twenties. Simply wonderful and it just needs some tidy and cosmetic things. And a little wood stove. How wonderful. It was also so good to see my captain. Please keep showing us boats Captain. Randy has some great vlogs and I enjoy his sense of humor and bonafide treasures of essential information.
Thank Beverly and thank you for watching
A nice 1978 Endeavor 32 recently sold in Milwaukee for $6,000. It had a working deisel and roller furling, 4 ft. draft, 11,500 displacement.
This is my speed !
🌞🌴⛵️
So great to have the captain back - missed him! Also, refreshing to tour another boat for mere mortals 😉
Small budget, big dreams! 👍
@@YachtHunters Hmmm… good boat name! 😂
Cap’n Q AND Randy !!
Love you guys!
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and informative, entertaining sailboat videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve learned and LAUGHED so much !
What a JOY
When I say love, I mean really really LOVE!
Love my Bristol 22! Never met a Bristol owner with regrets. Thanks for featuring a boat for those of us who want a sea-worthy boat at a really affordable price-point.
according to our comments you are not alone thanks
This boat checks All 🎉the boxes for me🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cap is talking about James Baldwin in "Atom" I read his book years ago. He inspired me to start sailing and cruising. Then, I became a boat builder and now, 18 years later. I'm living in Thailand building my first self designed Catamaran to retire, sailing the Islands of the S. Pacific. It's been a pretty good run, I can't complain. My motto is, "Failure is just success in progress." (unknown author)
If I were there, a young sailor and looking for a boat. I would buy this Bristol. I've always loved them. Anything Carl Alberg designed was pretty damn good.
Love. In case you didn’t know JB actually wrote 4 books in paperback
Worth tracking down thanks for your note
Sounds like life is good for you
+1 for Sam. His warts and all style I love.
i will have to catch up on him. I know Randall has followed him but i haven't had the chance.
Im sure its already sold by now, or will be very soon!! thats to good of a deal to pass up for anyone wanting to get started sailing now with a boat thats been a proven blue water boat.. this is exactly the sort of boat im gonna get when i get some more funds built up. Im sure someones gonna love that boat and make some great memories going on adventures and really living life.. you guys should post more of these kinds of boats that are actually affordable to everyday people.. its much more feasible than the ones that cost as much as peoples homes! Thanks for sharing.. love from Texas!!
Agree100%
We will keep looking for you guys. Thanks for your kind note
No such thing as a "cheap" boat. This boat needs $50K in work.
@@TOMVUTHEPIMP find the word "cheap" in my original comment... I'll wait!! You must have effective realism, because that's what you took from my comment and not what it said at all!! And if you honestly think it would cost that much, then your the kind of person that's probably never pumped their own gas, or had to change a tire on the side of the road, and go to jiffy lube to get your oil changed.. 50k? Lol!! You must not be a very handy or resourceful person yourself and rely on other people for everything.. that's the only way people put such ridiculous perspective values on things, when they themselves cant do, or dont know how to do the work.
Sam Holmes, great attitude and fun to watch.
Agreed 👍
Now THAT was. fun.
So much boat for the asking price! No doubt she's a solid design. Love the Captain's idea of sail her now, and worry about the cosmetics later. That's what the off season is for;)
Remember Robin Lee Graham who circumnavigated on board Dove when he was 16.
i read that years ago...should read it again as a backdrop to more recent voyages
Welcome back Captain Peach Pants !
I want to go sailing so bad, ready to discover what's over the horizon.
Sam has one is Pickle, Holly from Wind Hippie sailing has one on her 28 ft. Gecko !Windvane steering.
It's a little long in the tooth maintenance wise but it does look solid. For the price it's probably the best boat you are going to find. I especially like the laid up hull so there won't be any hidden damage. I talked to my wife about this boat and she said it was for my second wife. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
lmao come-on Johnny stand your ground lol
Get a new wife.
@@bruceweber2361 If I do that I can't afford a boat. Life ain't ever simple.
@@johnnylightning1491 You are so right, Johnny. It does, however, become a lot more simple when a man becomes free of a wife.
Fact of the matter is you would all be miserable without your wives
Just suck it up and find a friend with a boats they always need crew and you get to sail and still have money to get kids ir grandchildren thru college
Nice to see the Skipper back at the helm.
Not that we don't love you, Randy.
Thank you guys Randay has been finding more ways to educate and benefit our fans
They’re back!
We are (actually never really went anywhere ..Randall wanted to get his boat surveyor to share his input so when you find a CQ boat you will know what to look for
When someone on You Tube uses the expression ‘Hither and Yon’, you know they’re going to be worth listening to.
😂
As noted, jut the price of the Monitor wind vane and the VHF with AIS receiver make this an amazing value.
Nice that you continue to find good affordable boats.
I owned a Bristol 22 for many years. Loved that boat! Shapely, the outboard sat neatly in the u shaped cut out in the center of the transom. It motored well and I could lift the motor out of the water when not in use. Other Bristols, like this one, have issues with the outboards. The worst thing for a motor is to have to stay in the water all of the time. I'm sure there's solutions that have been mastered. I also race on an Ensign 22 , 10 Saturdays in the summer, here on Barnegat Bay, NJ. In Carl Alberg I trust! As always, Captain Q and Randay's evaluation of the boat is spot on and very interesting. Well done!
we appreciate your notes and history and for watching
Perfect! Love that boat...one of the best small sailboats!
thank you for watching
My Alberg 30 self steers amazingly well on all tacks with sheet-to-tiller steering. It takes practice to learn but no need for the expense and weight of a wind vane. Also, it is easily overpowered with a 150 Genoa (a common complaint). The cure, use a 110 or 100 % jib, know when to reef the main, and don’t overpower it.
I've heard that before Dan, Thanks for bringing it up for our readers
Great show today,love to s😢more affordable boats thanks
thank you Richard.... but...do remember all these boats are affordable for some one lol
There's alot of great sailing channels that have smaller yet proven classic sailboats. Sailing Vessel Mig is great channel. Wildlings sailing with his recent purchased whamaran... Mig is a Nor Sea 27 which are really interesting designed sailboats.
Cool… we’ll check it out
hey guys at about the 10:26 mark the production becomes pixelated.
Has happened in the last few episodes.
Anyone else notice this or is this something to do with my connection?
Another excellent production none the less guys.
we do this intentionally to wake up any viewers not paying close attention i guess it worked here lol
(just kidding...but it is a good idea no ?)
Good to see you Captain Q. I missed your boat evaluations. I am still looking for the one. You and Ran-Day certainly bring many options. I hope you, family and Ran-Day have a safe and pleasant Memorial Day weekend. From Georgia USA. 🤝⛵️
Thanks Para . i did a quick search/count of the boats listed In the PHRF ( racing measurement system ) by way of discovering at least one count of boats that have been built and i think the number was about 2400...(/) which means we have about 24 more years to go
Hopefully our grandchildren will pick up after we cross the bar
Great new video, I like that it is an "everyday" type of boat. thanks for not downplaying the size.. It would be a great boat on the great lakes!
obviously, she has proved herself in the big waters but your right ,,,..for the majority of sailors she would be great on the big lakes or bays of the east coast
Thank you for the wonderful videos!
You actually inspired me and my wife to get our first sailboat! A 1977 Ericson 29.
That is so cool. The 29 is a great boat. Thank you for your note
Thanks for another info filled review. Take care.
Thanks CCA
thnx guys.
sam holmes on the pickled herring will be stoked you mentioned his (awesome) channel.
Like the varity of boats you guys review. I do get excited when a sub 10k or even a sub 15k boat is looked at. When im ready, i know what to look for as that will be my budget. For the other reviews of the expensive bigger boats, i do sort of a mental shopping on equipment or ideas for the sub 10k deals.
Hope you guys do a in depth feature on sailing schools or ways beginners can look for training. I think you did one before, but i would like to see more options. That would be really helpful. Keep up the great work guys.
Thanks PS good suggestion
Hopefully there's a sail club near you where you should find welcoming sailors looking for crew. Fastest way to learn about boats is getting with sailors, and everyone wants to share their knowledge. No quicker way to learn boat handling than going racing. At least that's what I was told when I was just getting started, and it proved to be true for me.
@Sailing Slap Shot I hear what you are saying. There is a sailing learning class sort of in the area, but, to take even just a basic class it $4k...not what I call beginner friendly. Just want make sure I'm looking in the right places and when/how to engage a dialog. Don't want to spend $4k when I don't have to. I could use that kind of money towards the boat.
Only needs more solar, big hitech batteries, and an electric outboard.
.....Actually, James Baldwin did his 2nd circumnavigation after he removed his engine ....so go figure
personally, all this electronic high tech is making me weary...minimize i say
Welcome Back Capt Q!!
Cutting to the chase:
Triton, A bit heavier, way more sail area (60 sq ft?, and that's a Fractional one, all the Tritons I've seen or converted are Masthead now). To me, "barge-ier" than the Bristol. Really a less modern boat.
For all youse electric motor guys it would take about 635 pounds of batteries to sink her an inch further, not sure but freeboard seems like it's already less on the Triton.
Tartan 27: Centreboarder. I'm not going to try and quote numbers because the cb is a deal breaker for me. I think a Tartan 27 would be the best Sailer of the lot, however. You haven't lived until you sail one; pretty faultless. S&S design.
Cat 27: We've put these through H-e-double-toothpick and I am going to state that this boat finishes fourth out of four when it comes to desire to lose sight of land. How's That for Biased? On the bright side, Cat 27's are great sailers, especially when they're circling a 270.
Bristol 27: Sorry, this is my choice hands down. A little lighter, a little narrower, what seems to me a more assertive rudder, but alas, only 565 pounds of batteries would sink her another inch. My point with the batteries is that in order to accommodate an electric motor, boats like these would pretty much need some of the ballast drilled out.
Looking at the numbers, the Bristol seems underpowered. But she also seems like she would be more easily driven. Someone somewhere said they were available with more sail area. If this mast is about 29'5" long, this is the "less sail area" version. They built these for 12 years, they built Tritons for only 9.
The thing about these masts, (aluminum) from this era, is that they're smaller in diameter and a lot heavier than contemporary AA masts. That means that Even If You Break it In Half and splice it back together, it is going to last far longer than any of the alternatives. A lighter mast and especially a carbon rig would (I reckon) give her a very quick (stable) and disagreeable motion. So Please don't let anyone talk you into a modern rig based on its age. Forget about internal halyards, if you want an electrical conduit in there, bc there's not room for both. Many of these rigs have Narrow Halyard sheaves (and many have giant diameter main halyard sheaves), but our solution to sheaves that are too narrow for rope halyards is: Change the masthead from four narrow shivs into a masthead that just takes two wide ones, fore-and-aft, (for the main halyard), and hang the jib halyard(s) on external blocks. Be sure to route the halyards to Not Touch The Spreaders. As an aside: back then we figured it was ok to "laminate" thin stainless steel tangs and straps like we used to with bronze tangs. You can't. Anything stainless needs to be THICKER than the original (tangs, chainplates, strap toggles, tang bolts, etc.), or it will be unreliable. You can't lay stainless steel over an alloy masthead casting either (single strap joining the backstay to the headstay), something I've seen done on many mid-century boats, because of the way the alloy casting will react under the ss. If you must, insulate with plenty of Elastomeric sealant. Insulating gaskets? Inferior, except when engineered into the mix from the start on certain euro production rigs. I personally never use any pre-made "gaskets" to bed mast hardware.
Having Never set foot aboard a Bristol 27, I think I can speak with some authority as long as you don't mind opinions. But we certainly paid our dues on a certain Triton, and what I remember most is the permanence of the interior mouldings. I mean, it was like you could choose any layout you wanted as long as it was the one that came cast into the Triton's interior. This Bristol, on the other hand, is a blank canvas. If you want to change things up go for it. An hour spent below with a garden sprayer refilled six or seven times with a dilute bleach solution would change everything you see into pearly white. Just be careful about adding too much weight! That stove and its dangling fuel lines are pretty scary. The propane stove retrofit is aka "delivery skipper's best friend". And only slightly less dangerous than the alcohol one.
On the flip side, devoting the whole Lazarette to an outboard motor is something I would never do. These lazaretti will unfortunately fill up with water just when you really need them to be bouyant, floating the stern not sinking it. Essentially means this is really a Bristol 24.5. Unsolicited rant: This is the only downside to Coronado 25's, if you ignore the gigantic companionway hatch.
I'm not saying that she needs an inboard. I like having an electric outboard running off a 4D. See how I trash electric technology and then embrace it? The reason is that you should expect to sail everywhere, and only use the motor when you absolutely have to. On an external bracket, which can hang off the leeward side adjacent to the cockpit (custom) as well as the transom. As far as installing Any type of inboard goes, you're still going to have to put up with those tiny mid 20th Century apertures and that's kinda bleak. Seems like under power our (George Stevens') Triton "Antigone" did around 3 and one half knots.
Bottom Line, This would be a fun boat to sail. I Really Like this boat!
Thanks so much to Sailboatdata.com, any Facts presented are off of that site. As far as Cape Dorys go, please refer to Sam Holmes.
Love the push/pull of electric 😂 interesting idea to reduce some weight to put on some big boy batteries… I wonder if you could trim weight on some other bits/pieces with newer materials… and perhaps get a highly roached main with some battens to get some more sail area? Or just go sailing!
Great starter boat. Wow 40/55 points. Must be one of the best. ❤
a great opportunity
Missed you, my Captain! Roll up the sleeves and this is a great boat!
Believe me I missed you too Tony...:-)
G'day Captain, great to see you old sport, you're looking well.Been reading John Kretschmers books of late and this boat could handle a gale out at sea..I'd buy her in a heartbeat and make her beautiful....Few new upgrades and bye bye ❤
Thays the spirit Andrew... Kretchmer's s book are loaded with good information read on
@CaptainQYachtHunter Have finished sailing a serious ocean and Cape horn to Starboard Captain.
I'm frothing to get amongst it.
My first boat was an 80's Catalina 25 and this is quite a bit better in my opinion. The headroom is great and so if the full keel. Mine had a 5hp hanging off the stern. This is pretty nice for a young person getting started who wants something stout and easy to maintain.
i don't know if it is better, but i think i would be happier with this design on my solo voyage
Full keels with internal ballast and attached rudders are very reassuring
thanks for your thoughts and watching
CQ
Awesome boat awesome story and you guys are ok too ;)
We thank you
Value for money
yup
While I appreciate the comfort and speed of larger sailing craft there is a lot to be said for a compact and safe pocket ship especially if one is sailing single handed. The wind vane steering make the purchase of this mini cruiser a no brainier with the added simplicity of an outboard motor keeping things simple. Happy days and fair sailing to her future skipper/adventurer! SkipRay, Kerry.
👍🏼 I sailed my 23’ Precision sloop all over the caribbean living on board! It was great for single handed stick boat captain sailing!
Thank you , Kerry! 👍
Brilllllliant - 1 point for the eggs - thanks for sharing ⛵️
accepted and good catch Patty mi lad
Wow a potential 55 pointer! Nice 27 foot boat. Just a little bigger than my Alberg-designed Pearson Commander 26.
Lovely boat you have!! Cheers
Sam Holmes solo sailed a Ranger 25 from the California coast to Hawaii, He posted the trip to youtube videos.
Oh yeah, Sam and the Pickle. 🤙
If you ever come across a Bristol 29.9 I'd love to see one of those. I'm thinking about buying one.
Love the Bristols… we’ll keep Our eyes peeled
I have always like the Alberg designed boats and there are three or four in this range. Be interesting to do a comparison of them since they are all affordable blue ocean cruisers. My personal favorite is the Cape Dory that Sam Holmes sails.
We know Louis as a gentleman of discerning taste.. 👍👍
But Sam added a custom hard dodger before he took on the North Atlantic.
Nice to see you Skipper, did you get a different Jaguar? Its you all the way!
Had to JB… the other one only had a sunroof 🤗
Sea dog looks good.
Arf !!!
Onya team Q
He’s looking good…lost weight. Keep up the great videos guys
Give this viewer a big SEEEEGAAARRR :-)
@@YachtHunters or a can Dinty
Hey Captain been following a guy building his own Rover. I'd love to build one about 38 footer ! I love the double keil , but I'd love 4foot keil .
What's the saying. Go simple, go small, go now!
Love it! Walter Schulz says the biggest mistake is “people wait too long”.. 👍👍
The other day at the store I passed by the canned food section and just had to get a can of Dinty Moore. Did you ever get that sponsorship?
not yet.....but if they don't respond to all the imploring soon ....we will switch to Progresso or my old stand by Chef Boyardee
I'm 65yo, and so, not so interested in this boat for me, but when I was younger with limited means.
Nobody mentioned DOVE Robin Graham 16 year old sailed in a 23 lapworth in 1968 national geographic funded him later in his trip
It came to mind also
Robin's DOVE II, is in a slip Honolulu I believe
good recall i read it years ago and it deserves a re read
DOVE started coming apart before Graham completed his circumnavigation. Nat Geo bought him an Allied Luders 33, RETURN OF DOVE, to finish the voyage.
Maaannnn oh man 6k. I'd be on it!!!!
James still owns the Triton called “Atom”.
Thanks for this tour! Never got to see one but it was on my shortlist- bought an PCS Orion 27 instead (which you also toured). Nice seeing the shout out to Sam Holmes- been following him for a few years...again, similar sized as you point out. Is 'pocket cruiser' the right term?
Agreed… pocket cruiser indeed
I had a 1967 Bristol 27 in m id 90s. I took it down the ICW in 97, made it from Maine to Charlston SC. After 2 months at The city marina, I sold it for what i paid for it 3 years before. I would love to know where she is now.
If you know the hull # there is a Bristol site with a record of many of the boats current owners.
Put a little shine on that boat inside and out, and she'll be a real head turner. She just looks a little tired right now and in need of a facelift, like me
Same here!
She has great bones and a good pedigree and a fair price . so with some sweat equity time and a few dollars you will have a boat worth more than you put into it .and not to forget it comes with a great history of it's own that you can add to . I would say this is an adventure from beginning to end .and well worth the trip.
Thanks Logan We love to hear from viewers that echo our imagination.
Wondering, would a small regenerative electrical motor be a nice addition..
Seem like a great idea.. considering she’s a heavy gal that might not be influenced by a little drag of regenerative 👍
Sam has one on the Pickle (the name of his boat ).
❤
You could fix the engine bay after the season is over with a little money and a little sweat.
Agreed… Boatworks Today’s Andy will show you all the fiberglass techniques you need! Thanks
❤❤❤❤
Really missing my Thursday night 'fix'. Things seem, just a little less organised this season. Or, is that my imagination?
Hope you're both well.
Complicated. But bare with us
Point inflation is pretty high these days (although Lewis and Clark's boat got a 100 points a couple years back).
Inflation is real! Ran-days boat got a 16 back in the day!
I could see cruising around Lake Champlain on the weekends but the livability is somewhat lacking to my taste. I appreciate any and all of your videos Captain Q and Ran Day and as always the interesting history and video editing. Judging by Sea Dog's expression viewing the nav station, I think he was hoping for his own room and gourmet kitchen. As a young man though, sure, why not. As Captain Ron would say , " If it's going to happen, it's going to happen out there."
It’s ready for you to customize so it’s suits your needs.. 😉 thanks FF
I bought a 1966 weekender model Bristol 27 last summer for around $1000. Even needing a bit of work it was still a great deal..It's a bit small for a couple but it is an excellent " man cave" boat as mentioned for 1 person. Everyone is impressed with the construction and woodwork inside compared to newer boats..
Will we ever get a tour of the PB?
We reached out to the current owner… he is not interested 🤷♂️
need to get the captain on a proper 80s old school ior racer for review
we did a beautiful successful Baltic 46 that belonged to a friend of mine cant find the episode off hand but she was a beauty with a great record called Merrythought
oops here you go :
studio.th-cam.com/users/videoimTISpWungg/edit
How does one follow up on this particular boat?
Hope the Capt and his erstwhile sidekick Ran Day are doing alright, hopefully out enjoying a stiff breeze on the Bay. My brother is in the yard working on his boat he had a heart ablation last week, now he's back, hard at it , working on his project. Like Capt.Q, I begged him to buy one that would float and sail, worry about fixing thing later. Noooo, he had to buy a Hull , a cat, so twin hulls, with broken windows and rotted interior. And what is he working on first? the exterior.....I thought he would have gotten it livable inside first. The exterior was chalky and dirty.
What do I know. I know you can't get a man to change his course once it's set.
If I had enough money, I would buy him a boat to sail and enjoy, get him out of the yard. I'm scared he won't get out and sail. He's younger than me, so I guess I'm still trying to look out for him.
He's in Deltaville. If anyone can help him I'd be grateful. I'm in Kentucky and can't. I'm still taking care of a farm
Sorry to hear he went the cat route.
But whatever floats your boat !
Maybe he will get some ideas from one of our episodes and go monohull and donate his current project to the local HS. Good luck Thom regardless
Cool boat. Needs $50K in work.
Just curious as to what the vessel was at the 14m22s time on the video? It is beautiful! I would love to see you two tour that even if it is not for sale.
It might be a bit out of our scope but she is for sale: www.northropandjohnson.com/yachts-for-sale/peacemaker-158-maccarini
It did have a for sale sign on it
She was moored off the Hinckley yard in portsmouth ri
It would be fun for sure
If it’s still around maybe we should
@@YachtHunters you never know who may be watching your channel that might be able to afford it.,I know it isn't me though but it sure is a sailing vessel!
Oh we can’t agree more with that observation…out of 13,000,000 views there might well be one that won the lotto..

Capt Q is Back!!!!!!! Now, I have had a good day!!!
Thomas , thank you for your warm hello...We have been investigating additional education and Randay's interviews with Diaz were welcomed apparently.
StayTuned
We will be back with more of the old CQ discoveries as soon as we can.
thanks again

Captain, Randall is doing an outstanding job! We are glad to see you when you are able to make it!
Nice enough boat, but the tartan 27 is better. 🌵
ok ....but could you find one this well equipped for a similar price i wonder
How many Jaguars does captain Q own?? I have one also a 1988 XJS
Current count is two..
It's probably for the best that you don't do videos of boats in Colorado. I'd already be trying to make payments on 2 or 3.
😂
Ol pops is gonna zee out,
if your not careful
Have you ever done a episode on a contessa 32?? I don't think so.. be a cool one if you could come across one
Would love to… especially after watching Erik Aandera on his Contessa… cheers
Erik's is a Contessa 35 (based on a Doug Peterson one tonner), whereas the 32 is a slightly older David Sadler design with an almost unrivalled reputation for seakeeping at its size.
@Captain Q, Yacht Hunter there's a channel called refit and resail on TH-cam. He's in the UK and does alot of great work on the old contessas..
@petestack I have looked into the contessa sailboats because of their well known sea worthiness. Pretty amazing boats.. much like the Dufour sailboats.. there's a guy from Europe who is redoing a contessa that belonged to someone within that company
I purchased a sailboat last year that I still don't know who built or designed her. I put up some photos and info on a couple of sailboat forums but no one seems to be able to figure it out. Is there someone out there who can help me out?
send the links to your pics here!
What did he upgrade to??
He went off to college and was focusing his energy on racing small one design boats and working a summer job… so no time to cruise for a few more years 👍👍
