    This video is a great example of what I have been telling my wife about when we look at various sailboats. That if we settle on a boat, if there are things she or I may not like much, when the refit comes we can fix the sailboats shortcomings.
    I would also like to say about his galley, while it goes very well with the rest of the boat, somehow it has a hint of Japanese looking Galley and the dining area sort of reminds me of a French Fine Dining Restaurant. Maybe that is not what they were going for, but I am just pointing that it goes well together. It is far from looking like many sailboats that... you know look like most of them came out of the same cookie cutter.
    On a side note, I would also like to point out how good the video shows the wonderful wood tones and at the same time the whites are bright and vibrant. Sometimes it is hard to get the whites to look proper and at the same time the reds, blues, greens and wood tones to look correct too.

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +enerZise Yes there usually has to be a little compromise and it can be a long search for the right boat. Now that you mention the styles in Bill's boat I can see that now and I agree that it sure all went well together!
      Thanks for the comments about the video quality! Nice to heart that it looks good. :)

  • @Two-aboard-tuuli
    @Two-aboard-tuuli 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I chartered a boat that had the same aft cabin layout with the narrow door that they removed on this one here. And I think that was an awesome decision. Climbing through that door was a real pain :) Nicely opened up space here!

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Two aboard Tuuli Yes that wall would have made it all feel a little more closed in for sure! I really like the open feeling with it gone!

      @lifeislikesailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +elfaroproductions It sure was a nice C&C and very warm with the stove on...Bill had to turn it off because it was too warm! lol

      +LifeisLikeSailing - Vancouver, BC I was thinking of installing something similar in my Motor home for those cold nights down here in Mexico ha ha ha.... you know it can plummet right down to 10 C 50 F like tonight, brrrrrrok I know no sympathy.

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Bad Sailboat Yes, older boats sometimes can turn out amazing with a good refit. :)

  • @billbye1432

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice boat & very nice wiring. My dream is to have a nice little home like this to maintain & sail.

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +ByteMeDammit Sure is a nice boat and I wish I could end up with one half as nice! :)

    • @cncbilly4000
      @cncbilly4000 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is a major amount of work to maintain a vessel to this standard. A true labour of love.

  • @tWoforgamenot1

    sure is big .

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Ross Heaton I'll have to let Bill do that in one of his videos! :)

  • @harryknickerbocker9889
    @harryknickerbocker9889 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just bought a C&C 41 and I have a question for you. I'm still finding out where everything is and I noticed that the batteries are under the cabin sole? Is there any easy way to get to them. If not I'll have to unscrew twenty or so screws and lift up a section of the sole. Thanks Harry I love the boat....

    • @cncbilly4000
      @cncbilly4000 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      My 4 house batteries are behind the companionway stairs in front of the engine and one starting battery in the starboard locker. Congrats on your purchase. Cheers

  • @harryknickerbocker9889
    @harryknickerbocker9889 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    And while I'm at it, why is there no access to the engine through the panel just behind the steps leading into the cabin? Did you cut out a section of this panel to get to the engine? Or did someone forget to do something?

    • @cncbilly4000
      @cncbilly4000 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The main engine access is through the starboard locker.

  • @bird1142

    It's hard for me to say the boat is 30 years old it looks like it came right from the factory.☺

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Zay TheVlogger Yes it sure looked amazing and new! :)

  • @offplanetevent
    @offplanetevent 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    very nice . you have door choices, why not wheel choices.

    • @lifeislikesailing
      @lifeislikesailing  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +offplanetevent yes it sure was nice! I guess wheel choices would be good if you had space to store an extra wheel. :)

  • @SeanMcChannel
    @SeanMcChannel 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice boat. Neat electrical install, but the exposed AC wires behind the panel without a rear cover is deadly and dumb. Please install a cover over the AC section of the panel --- like $30 to save your life.
