Hi Everyone! I am the owner of this boat "Departure" and she is a great vessel. We thought she had sold when a perspective buyer sent a sizable nonrefundable deposit. The buyer backed out as he could not put the rest of the money together So- this boat is still for sale and ready for new owners!!! Contact me (Scott )my phone number is in the notes below the video.
That CD in the lazarette has a real purpose! Some folks will dangle them up the mast to help reflect and present a more visible radar image for other boats and especially those big blindly-lumbering ships. In fact, there are many DIY designs out there in Internetland to easily cut and glue a couple of CDs together to present a fuller reflective profile no matter the orientation. Frankly, I'd be astonished NOT to find several old AOL CDs in any older sailboat up there in foggy Maine. I'm led to understand that those silver mylar emergency blankets can also serve a similar radar-reflective purpose when draped aloft. There's apparently some debate as to the efficacy of such radar reflector hacks, but I'm in no position technically to judge.
Our local tides do 22 ft in the English Channel. But in some places up to 42 ft Bristol Channel. Colvin was a maker of tough boats, sadly no more. The only downside to the triple keel is that it is not very good to weather.
I think I would be to scared to take this boat across the pond. I know its been done, but, I'm not that brave anymore. Lol! Thanks for showing the boat. Oh, does the trailer come with it?
@@scottfuller2160 that's not bad at all. I couldn't tell, did he build a wooden cradle for it then to place the boat on? Thanks so much. Love your channel!
Captain Q, Are you ever planning on expanding your "Hither and Yon" traveling by hithering and slithering down the East coast and other areas. How about Captain Q and Ran-Day do the "Great Loop". This boat would be great with the ease of lowering this mast. P.S. I can speak for every viewer by saying you guys make our day.
I hope you're vaccinated by now, though I imagine Delta might have complicated things a little bit. I hope that once things settle down a little and it's safe, we will get to see you visiting sailboats hither and yon all over North America and maybe even beyond. 😄
The Sea Rovers were a great family boat and along with Westerlies, MacWesters and others set a trend in the UK which lasted to the mid 80s. Often home completions they can show a wide range of finish but they are very solid plodders and great beaching boats. Our family of 4 are happily learning to sail around our Channel island Home in our MacWester Rowan Crown only 24 foot yet 7800lbs, which is a direct descendant of this boat. We love your show, great knowledge and love for boats of all types and vintages. Thank you!
I bought a Macwester 27 project some time ago that I am looking forward to getting finished once lockdown allows. I am thinking of selling it though as time has shown headroom is an issue for me. After seeing this video I am regretting not getting the rover that was available for similar money at the time, while it is a little more dated it does have the headroom.
@@ogginit8492 we have a Macwester Rowan Crown so have every sympathy, but apart from headroom they are such solid simple sailing boats. Great way to get a family on the water. Good luck with her.
Hello from west Wales here in the UK. Just want to say a massive thanks to you guys for another great vid, and thank you so much for mentioning New Kipper Tales. It was very interesting to hear that the Colvic Sea Rover 28 has crossed the pond, I always felt she was tough enough but could never confirm it, so I'm delight to see that lovely lady had sailed from the UK. We have been the custodians of Kipper for getting on for 4 years now,. I don't know if we every truly own a boat, we come and go but boats seem have many lives. We had all kinds of plans but work and then a pandemic have delayed things but we will get there : Kipper to has a lot history and is very well travelled indeed. The former owners lived on her for 16 years and travelled from the UK to the Mediterranean no less than 6 times though the canals of Europe. They spent years at a time cruising the Mediterranean, from Portugal to Malta almost everywhere between clocking up some 12000 miles. What a legacy she has and so far in our adventures we have hardly scratched the surface of what she done before or what is possible for her. We originally started making our vlogs so we could shear our adventures with the former owners who still love her so much, but we are delight that others have joined us and enjoyed the journey. Thanks again guys, and massive thanks to everyone that has visited our channel since your recommendation, 'fair winds and a following sea', we will be follow you vids with keen interest.
Thank you Kipper folk. I spotted your channel and your devotion to your boat and the sea. And something about it reminded me of one of my favor characters from “The Trustee From the Toolroom”. I’m sure you have read it. I’m so glad our Captain Q crew livened up your day Captain Q
The Wildlings, complete novices, took one one of these from wales via the isles of scilly to france. they tootled up the river seine to Paris, then hung a right and tootled on down the length of france on the canals. They recently sold the boat in Monaco no less and are currently boatless. I recommended your channel to them and i know he was very taken with the freedom 35 you showed us. I too have a fifty year old boat and burned out the armature of a bosch drill trying to install an exaust skin fitting. Back in the day,we didnt know just how strong fibreglass was so boats of that era are over built.
Me likey. Great find. Interesting little boat. Even more interesting is it’s proven blue water. Definitely gonna checkout kipper tales. Really want to see this thing under sail. Question, price include the old trailer too?
Always feels like a gift when I come home from work and there is another boat to look at from the two of you! Thanks for making my coming home from work so nice! I would love this boat. Heavy and hardy!
We sailed and lived aboard one for 2 years, it was a great introduction to sailing, incredibly safe and solid. However, very slow, and terribly rolly at anchor. Despite making their way to the states I would question their bluewater credibilities but it could be in the right hands, love the channel, Cap!
Excellent feedback... wish we would have known about your channel so we could have shared your experience with the Covic. Looking forward to watching your episodes. thanks
Catalinas are rare this side of the pond, but Sea Rovers, Westerlies etc are the equivalent in the UK and there are lots of them. As the Captain noted, they are deceptively bigger than people think from the outside. The full keel and bilge keels are like belt and braces (you'd say suspenders!) for a boat this size and most have have a full keel or a par of bilge keels. A lovely video again!
Typing again.... And so just to let you know. I've been trying not to make any comments at all. Just appreciate "on my own" what you guys are doing. I mean hey? What do I know? So my thought was that I would never have seen this boat. I would never have experienced that windlass and all the other (unique) parts if you guys weren't there to provide a "tour." ~~~ I experience this boat as a real "sweetie" I'll tell ya. So thanks so much again. Just great! ✨🌸⛵🌸✨
Lovely little treasure. Not cute but very British ! Basic bathroom (ok head) ... Very good to see the headroom. And Blue Water capable too ! Wish I could pay attention right now, CoViD has hit hard (eldest in hospital) and rest in isolation. Good news is that all seem to be on the mend. I hope full recovery is only a matter of time.
Captain Q, You must have a monetary interest in Dinty Moore Stew. Ha! I like it to. He used to live just across the pasture from my uncle and aunt. When he still ran the company, the stew was far better, with more vegetables and beef.
Sounds like the beef was in the pasture ? Thanks for the history No connection to DM Just enjoy it at the right time Like egg nog at Christmas or champagne at New Year’s Eve….. DM offshore on a cool evening is the best
Reading through the comments I wonder if viewers have any idea how much to would cost to get some of these old boats back into sailing condition. Having done it a few times I would guess another 12K and 20K would not surprise me.
All the boats we look at our old as much as 50 years old. It is to be expected that every one of them will require some attention and the degree to which you go to give it that attention and the amount of money you’re willing to spend on it will vary from boat to boat and buyer to buyer. But I think everyone out there knows that if their car breaks down right now there’s a pretty good chance their auto repair man will charge them $100 an hour to fix it. That labor rate is very similar to marine Boatyard labor rates are so use your wildest imagination and a little discussion with your local oh yard and you’ll soon find out what it’s going to cost. And it could cost 12,000 and $20,000 but you’re starting out with a boat you’re buying for 10 1520 or even $30,000 and when you’re finished you might have invested $40,000 in that boat but if you went out and bought a new boat it would probably cost you four or five times that amount today. It really all depends to what degree you expect your vessel condition to be in when you’re finished. If it’s just something you can sell safely that’s one thing if it’s something that looks like a boat built by Hinckley that’s another thing
What s great find ! 3 keels....I figured it was a "Bond Boat " when ya got her up on the step hydra foils take over to make a fast get away . Yet another enlightening show mates ... Great work ! 🏆⛵⛵🌀🌬🌬
I like this little boat and not ashamed to say it. There was a time in my life when this would have been perfect for me and I know it will be perfect for someone out there. I give it all the thumbs up for design, style, durability and simple utility and condition for age.
We corresponded once before. I'm coming from a aviation background. It was a big pill for me to swallow, slowing down to 5 knots. But i really like these hulls with the shoe. I live in Alaska and the things that i see me doing; resting on ground while i can get off the boat to beachcomb, explore timber camps, mining camps, fox farms, hunting and gathering. I am thinking a boat in the 28 - 34 foot range for me and maybe my dog. I wish it sailed faster, if it sailed any slower i would be underway at anchor.
Ok I’ll give this 3 more points. If you are a young family on a starter budget this boat is safe and has a reliable engine. The twin keels will be popped by the yacht snobs but beaching this baby would be fun. It comes with its trailer and you can raise the mast by friends. No crane bill. The fun factor per dollar is high. Cheers
Watching 100 plus of Ur video's I see that thier all gems. Some look like cleaned up abandoned boats. Why not tell it like it is instead of making infomercials.
Great boat. When I was around 19 years old I sailed with a friend on his family boat same size and we beached the boat every evening along the Cornish coast in the early seventies. Thank you guys for the great video
We have gotten to eastern Connecticut so far Time snd $$ slowed us after that. We would love to though especially the Chesapeake and see what beauties are stashed in the Carolinas and see if there is anything that isn’t fried in florida Then on to the the west coast and with a stop at the Great Lakes. Randay will probably have me stuffed along with sea dog at that point But hope springs eternal
For someone who had the time and the elbow grease it looks like a really, really neat boat. It reminds of of when I was having some engine work done on my motorcycle. I told the mechanic I wanted a truck engine not a hot rod. This kind of reminds me of a truck kind of boat not a hot rod boat. Keep the good stuff coming Capt'n.
Captain q. Is this the only boat that you have done a video on that seemingly has three keels on it. It seems I remember one but this one just doesn’t look like the one I’m remembering
The bracket that acts as a rudder safety line can also be rigged with two lines led to pulleys on each side of the deck. If the tiller broke, the lines can be used to steer the boat!
What a great find. Needs some elbow grease, but it looks like it can survive even being dropped from an airplane. I wish North American builders would pay more attention to European builders, there are many gems like this on the other side of the pond.
Hi. I'm from England. I know the boat type, in fact it was the same boat as wildings sailing first bought for cruising, so there's lots of video on TH-cam. I think it was about £ 5.5k. Great little coastal sailing yacht and built like a tank.
It is a little tank!! But a cute one with some great features too.... We were late to discover Wildings channel so it was fun to see the boat in action after we posted the episode. cheers!
You have to check out Wildlings Sailing channel. They got a beautiful Sea Rover in Wales for a steal, took it through the canals of France and sold easily in the Med. You can go to one of their first videos see what they paid. They just upgraded to an old Cat.
Sadly 90% of these boats are still in England. The few that are in North America seem to be centered around the Northeast US. That doesn't bode well for me in the Pacific Northwest. The climate and tides are very similar to England here. These boats would be perfect here.
I do not know if you watch the Simpsons but the latest episode with that disgusting piece of Trash J J Abrahams in at the start has a flashback at the beginning it is only a flash but Homers Dad is eating from a Dimity Moore can.
The Capt. already has that covered as the ladder was lashed on at the top and frozen in at the bottom. A sea dog is a sea dog, Capt knows safety at sea and on land!
My boyfriend just bought a sailboat and they both live on Cape Cod My question is maybe off topic. What camera is used for you videos. They are always crystal clear and beautiful colors. We will be taking many photos and videos this summer and yours are marvelous. Thank you for this informative video.
I think only a few places in the UK with very large tidal range, like the Severn Estuary... but a cheap mooring if your boat can dry out in an estuary. However, perfect for your summer holidays from the UK to Northern France, the Channel Islands and places like St Marlo - up to 40 foot range, and also the French Canal system. Must have been a story as to how that Colvic yacht ended up in the USA.. I thought Colvic's only sold hull and decks ? - back in the days when DIY was more fashionable and people did not have do much money...
The first boat I ever sailed was called a Vivacity. It was my dad's first boat. If you've seen the video on YT of a small sailboat with A giant elephant seal on the foredeck that's a Vivacity. Twin keel made it possible to run it up on the sand at high tide in south San Diego bay wait for tide to go out and clean the bottom. Solid boat but not particularly suited for light air of southern California.

Sweet little boat! With a bit of work inside she'd be perfect for a teenager for her/his/their first boat.
Our local tides do 22 ft in the English Channel. But in some places up to 42 ft Bristol Channel. Colvin was a maker of tough boats, sadly no more. The only downside to the triple keel is that it is not very good to weather.
Its dangerous watching y'alls videos, keep showing such affordable ready to sail boats I might just bite.
Dinty Moore 🤣 still gets me every time
I have never seen a hull like this! Very cool. Not drag. Stability.
Glad you liked it!
Come to England, there are hundreds of these bilge keel boats. It is coming back on modern boats as well.
I may just travel to England one day when I start my boat hunt.
I think I would be to scared to take this boat across the pond. I know its been done, but, I'm not that brave anymore. Lol! Thanks for showing the boat. Oh, does the trailer come with it?
The backhoe trailer is being offered for $6K.

Wicked nice. What did you say it draws?
3 feet!
Love the show! Gotta get A Captain Q hat, is it possible?
Yes it is the initial order has all gone out. Stand by
Samson post? On the bow?
Pretty common in the UK back in the day especially in exposed harbours with short steep seas.
Yup Samson Post!!!!

Only in the eye of a hungry observer.

Are you ever planning on expanding your "Hither and Yon" traveling by hithering and slithering down the East coast and other areas. How about Captain Q and Ran-Day do the "Great Loop". This boat would be great with the ease of lowering this mast.

What a fun little boat that would be to gunkhole in. Perfect for the bahamas.

Great stories of other sea going bulldogs
I think they are fixing up a catamaran right now.
@@carlwegener7544 The Wildlings got the catamaran underway just a couple of weeks ago.
I wonder how much Dinty Moore I'm gonna eat whilst sailing this summer thanks to Capt Q...
One can. Then you’ll understand Cap Q is not infallible.
PUUUUHHHHLEEEEEESSSE
Love the show been watching for awhile really nice seeing my buddy’s boat .
My favorite boat channel! Love yall! Just trying to help out your youtube algorithms. Cant imagine youtube without Captain Q
Maybe one day!

At least I would be evenly grounded in Barnegat Bay NJ.
That boat would kick ass here in Tampa Bay. Lots of tide and lots of shallows.
Sail it down from Maine! Would be a great adventure!
@@scottfuller2160 Yes it would. I'm not quite set for a project boat right now, but that would be a lot of fun gimping it back to Tampa.

Arf arf
Can someone help me out here, which is the one where the designer of the boat appears to talk about it at the end?

... boats always look "bigger" ... when on the hard ... HaHa
We corresponded once before. I'm coming from a aviation background.
It was a big pill for me to swallow, slowing down to 5 knots. But i really like these hulls with the shoe.
I live in Alaska and the things that i see me doing; resting on ground while i can get off the boat to beachcomb, explore timber camps, mining camps, fox farms, hunting and gathering.
I am thinking a boat in the 28 - 34 foot range for me and maybe my dog.
I wish it sailed faster, if it sailed any slower i would be underway at anchor.
My favorite bubbly and the cpt’s favorite stew. My life is complete.
So glad we can be of help :-)

sounds like some amazing memories
Hey I recognize that time lapse of the tides.. Halls Harbour in Nova Scotia :)
She's a sweet little boat! After catching up with the Wildlings, she's pretty tempting.
feel free to give...im sure the owner will help the process before and after the sale...just guessing
great boat if you have a penchant for going slow,a banana slug of a boat,it would have a huge wetted surface area.Makes no sense to me.
No, she isn't "kind of pretty". I'm sure she is a tough boat with an easy motion in waves, but she isn't pretty.
Do you ever come south & recommend boats??
We have gotten to eastern Connecticut so far
Time snd $$ slowed us after that.
We would love to though especially the Chesapeake and see what beauties are stashed in the Carolinas and see if there is anything that isn’t fried in florida
Then on to the the west coast and with a stop at the Great Lakes.
Randay will probably have me stuffed along with sea dog at that point
But hope springs eternal
I want one of these. Love the tuff durable boats. Stopin anywhere to fish would be amazing.
For someone who had the time and the elbow grease it looks like a really, really neat boat. It reminds of of when I was having some engine work done on my motorcycle. I told the mechanic I wanted a truck engine not a hot rod. This kind of reminds me of a truck kind of boat not a hot rod boat. Keep the good stuff coming Capt'n.
Those are awesome. I took a photo of in NZ where the tides are also big. I had to chuckle at an anchored boat with no water under it.
Captain q. Is this the only boat that you have done a video on that seemingly has three keels on it. It seems I remember one but this one just doesn’t look like the one I’m remembering
How can I get this down here in new orleans
contact the owner there is a flat bed he might sell as well
Road trip !!! 🤙
Sail it down or negotiate a price for the owner to sail it down! Or buy the trailer and have someone haul it down!
hi dad
There was a sea swing mount on the front side of the bulkhead forward of the galley!
Oh That's probably what that is! I have never been able to figure out what that mount was for!!!
great catch
@@scottfuller2160 I only knew it because I had the same mount on my 1962 Columbia 29. When I sold the boat I kept the sea swing for my next boat!
Здравствуйте,, хорошая лодка,были бы деньги купил.
Strange coincidence indeed 🤔😂 I've always been fond of these types of boats with these stable keels ❤️
I have the money, I have tohe love, what I dont have is the understanding of where to find the boats, or time frame to bid.
I'm new to sailboats, that rudder safety line looks like such an amazing bonus
The bracket that acts as a rudder safety line can also be rigged with two lines led to pulleys on each side of the deck. If the tiller broke, the lines can be used to steer the boat!
Scott fuller I didnt even think of that! Such a cool design.
Poland! Just up the road (Norway, ME).
"...a bluff bow and lovely lines..."
Can't believe how many of these boats have cans of Dinty Moore beef stew on board
What a great find. Needs some elbow grease, but it looks like it can survive even being dropped from an airplane.
I wish North American builders would pay more attention to European builders, there are many gems like this on the other side of the pond.
I love the air drop concept .
Hi. I'm from England. I know the boat type, in fact it was the same boat as wildings sailing first bought for cruising, so there's lots of video on TH-cam. I think it was about £ 5.5k. Great little coastal sailing yacht and built like a tank.
It is a little tank!! But a cute one with some great features too.... We were late to discover Wildings channel so it was fun to see the boat in action after we posted the episode. cheers!
I’m thinking she would struggle to get out of her own way.
Perfect for a young person without a bunch of money to go boat bum in the Bahamas. Shallow draft in shallow waters. Nice.
Spot on
or for a single AARP member
You have to check out Wildlings Sailing channel. They got a beautiful Sea Rover in Wales for a steal, took it through the canals of France and sold easily in the Med. You can go to one of their first videos see what they paid. They just upgraded to an old Cat.
This boat has better engine probably
Great video Captain Q, as usual.
🙌👏👏👏👏
OK ARE THOSE MONKEYS? LOL
Sadly 90% of these boats are still in England. The few that are in North America seem to be centered around the Northeast US. That doesn't bode well for me in the Pacific Northwest. The climate and tides are very similar to England here. These boats would be perfect here.
You're right... they would be great for gunkholing in the PNW... maybe someone nearby should grab a mold and get glassing?? 😀
Another great video. Would love to hear you talk about catamarans as a comparison. Nice designs but so expensive. Thank you
Catamarans are on our list... we just don't find too many of them in our neck of the woods at the moment.... hopefully soon
I do not know if you watch the Simpsons but the latest episode with that disgusting piece of Trash J J Abrahams in at the start has a flashback at the beginning it is only a flash but Homers Dad is eating from a Dimity Moore can.
We will ignore that discussion. ( note those are not real people let alone real sailors They are soulless cartoon characters. ) shame on them
Ah the S/V Melody (minnie me), a 38ft Steel Pilothouse Cutter. Great catch & share of what's out thier! 👍
Rock on!
👌
Hey Captain Q, I loved the added sailing footage on this one! Are you planning on taking us sailing in one of your future videos?
For sure
Saved money on stands, just toss it on a flatbed trailer .
Great video! Thanks Captain Q!
Wow that's a sweet boat!! I'd love to have that to start out!! Beautiful ✌🏻💗😊❣️
You should!
Loved it!
I am with you on the ted hood for crossing the North Atlantic but this one could make me into a golfer.
what ever works for you.....but a golfer :-(
lol I wantt it
A Rover for a roving sailor! Did she sell, Cap? Cheers --OLD
The buyer deposited and then fell through she is still for sale!
Please hold the ladder when the Capt climbs aboard... thanks...
The Capt. already has that covered as the ladder was lashed on at the top and frozen in at the bottom. A sea dog is a sea dog, Capt knows safety at sea and on land!
The nearly unrockable boat .
Great boat for old people like me.
been looking for a bilge keel , thank
My boyfriend just bought a sailboat and they both live on Cape Cod My question is maybe off topic. What camera is used for you videos. They are always crystal clear and beautiful colors. We will be taking many photos and videos this summer and yours are marvelous. Thank you for this informative video.
I think only a few places in the UK with very large tidal range, like the Severn Estuary... but a cheap mooring if your boat can dry out in an estuary. However, perfect for your summer holidays from the UK to Northern France, the Channel Islands and places like St Marlo - up to 40 foot range, and also the French Canal system. Must have been a story as to how that Colvic yacht ended up in the USA.. I thought Colvic's only sold hull and decks ? - back in the days when DIY was more fashionable and people did not have do much money...
The first boat I ever sailed was called a Vivacity. It was my dad's first boat. If you've seen the video on YT of a small sailboat with A giant elephant seal on the foredeck that's a Vivacity. Twin keel made it possible to run it up on the sand at high tide in south San Diego bay wait for tide to go out and clean the bottom. Solid boat but not particularly suited for light air of southern California.
Where do you buy the Malibu Barbie pink pants?
the Malibu Barbie Pink Pant Store ...where else :-)
I had a cup of tea and a butter pie 🎶
Captain! Captain!
Aloha 🤙
Perfect!
