Late in 1976 I separated from the USAF and with my wife of 3 years relocated to Seattle Washington. Over the next 6 years I would learn to sail and with some friends from work we would often take a San Juan 24 (?) out for the afternoon during good weather. I would often see the Pacific Seacraft Orions moored at the marina and my mouth watered. These boats displayed all of the outward appearance that I longed for in a sailing craft. After talking with a few owners at the next boat show they became the embodiment of my dreams. In 1982 my mom took ill and we relocated back to the east coast and my life and career became a roller coaster ride. That dream went to the bone yard years ago and now, at 70, it's a distant memory. I have been watching your channel for about a year, up until about 2 years ago when my life started to demand more of my time, but now that I have some time again I turned to your channel and watched the last few episodes with some interest until you mentioned Pacific Seacraft. The very moment I read those words I knew this was the boat for you. That feeling, and my judgement, certainly may have been influenced that you're getting to live a dream that was only a fleeting moment in my life, but I am so very glad for you. They are the stuff that dreams are made of. Their builds are robust, and after having watched 3 seasons of your channel before stopping I was certain this was the one for you. This particular boat will have issues, they all do, but every time you sail into a harbor all eyes will turn to you, your pulse will race and your heart will know that you are alive. When the broker finally called with the good news, the tears came freely and with joy for you both. I'm looking forward to catch up now, I hope the new boat is turning out to be everything that you hoped for and will serve you and the pending family for years to come. God bless you both and thank you for permitting me to get a small glimpse of a long forgotten dream. May the winds forever be at your backs. 💙💙💙
So why am I getting choked up? You guys started as good story tellers. Now you are world class story tellers. As good as I've seen. Congrats on the new home.
Yep I agree 💯% Y'all have become family and it kinda brought a tear there at the end, a tear of joy and happiness for you both. Congrats! Looking forward to many new adventures and story's from Atticus 2.
The previous owner clearly also had a hard time letting go of your beautiful new Atticus II. Cant blame him. Think of all the memories they had. May you have the wind in your sails and travel all across the globe for many many years to come!
“This is home.” I am so happy, someone is peeling onions! Your story and presentation was perfect, thanks for not ending in a “cliff hanger.” Now the fun begins. I am looking so forward to traveling along with the “Buds” and sharing your adventures.
Right now I’m being bullied at my school it’s something that many have gone through and many are going to encounter and your videos help me a whole bunch thanks 🙏
I like what Maggie Braun has to say and I will add 1 more thing. The people that Bully you probably have some problem with their home life. Maybe Mom and Dad drink too much and take it out on their children. In order to feel better about themselves they try and tear you down to make you feel Less Than them. Don't let that work. When you graduate your life will change for the better, you will be in charge of your life. Hang in there kid and don't let the bastards get you down.
I was bullied like a lot of kids, I was small in school. I went from 5’2” in 10 th grade to 5’8” in 11 th grade and finally 6’2” as a senior. He kept hitting me just about everyday in 10th grade, then in 11 th grade. He started to do it again and I finally stood up to him, after that he left me alone. Sometimes you just have to stand up to them and most of the time they back down. Try talking to them and being nice, if they continue your best bet is to go talk to your teacher or counselor. It’s always best to avoid a fight, a lot of time they do this because they feel inadequate or their parents might be hard on them. I saw him about 10 years later in a different state and we had a couple of beers together at the bar we were at.Try to forgive them and put it behind you, that way it does not cause you problems later in life. Forgiveness is always the way.
Dear snow owel the only reason they bully you is because of you stop being a pussy an hook those jumper cables up makem see sparks shure u might get your ass beat but that hurts alot less than living with regret the rest of your life !!! Dont use that but they bigger than me xcuse eather ...have u ever seen a Philippinena fight they small a hell but that nevr stop them from being world champion
Brings back memories. Be kind, speak from strength/skill, be honest. Learn to defend yourself by sidestepping the aggressor, and letting them make fools of themselves,.Back it up with skills. No one wins if someone is badly hurt. A black eye, busted lip....a lesson learned. Someone maimed or killed? No one wins, totally unforgivable.
Sorry to hear that. I got bullied. Not bad. Basically moved from a good neighbor hood to a bad; then my dad got on some punks for stealing stuff. I got chased a lot mostly. I took some judo at the local rec ctr. That gave me some self esteem. It’s tough, but in a couple years, if you avoid them and do your homework, life will be good. They will probably end up working for you! Meanwhile, find a cool adult you can talk to, and let them know. You don’t need to do it by yourself; grow up ya know; it can be tough. But it’s fun too, then, you get to do really cool stuff. Like project Atticus! Right! Be good humans. Smile; it’s disarming.
Coming back to this video in 2022 knowing you guys are now expecting and about to set sails for the open seas! ♥️ having been watching you guys since you were on the hunt for Atticus 1! My heart is so full!
Been watching you guys since the start. You really worked hard to get to this point. A true story of hard work, passion, and determination, you certainly deserve your new Atticus II.
Alternator brushes stick when they are on their way out. Same thing happened with Taylor's Travels recently. Most people would replace with an upgraded one so that you're sure of it's reliability and performance. Thank you for including us in your lives. We all appreciate it. Much love from Cornwall, UK
Alternator are pretty reliable, most common issues are brushes, bearings and diode packs. All inexpensive and easy to replace. But if you’ve got lots of money go for an $800 Balmar. I prefer a Delco that you can source parts worldwide.
The brushes are a major matter - yes. Perhaps there may even be an old mechanical regulator that is stuck. If that's the case I would recommend to replace the regulator by a modern from Stearling or Mastervolt - these are amazing. And with such a modern regulator you do a step towards a lithium system. If there was an newer alternator than the motor: I heard that modern alternators need high rpm (some 6000) - much more than a normal diesel engine. So there should be a speed transformation via belt rims. Perhaps a new larger pulley might improve a lot.
The boat was laid up in a long, cold, New England winter. There is a little corrosion on everything. She’s got to stretch out and get back in the swing.
I shouldn't be so happy for people I don't even know. It speaks to how well you guys make your content. What a great channel. Congrats on your boat and good luck on sailing and starting your family eventually. We are here for it! :)
Wow! What an amazing video capturing the excitement and emotions involved with stepping into the next chapter of your lives. Excited to watch the upcoming journey.
Count the days and see when you felt that this is your boat and the strangeness goes away when you don't notice the new to you smell when you go down the companionway in to the salon, when you don't waken in the middle of the night to the new sounds your boat makes. i personally feel uncomfortable for a few weeks with a new to me boat, and one day i just realize I'm HOME! Congratulations on your new home, she is a beauty. -Dave, Vancouver
Breathe now please. What a memory for you and future family, Wow. Now time to breathe, and just live your dream. Thanks for terrific videos. Bless You.
You two handled the stressful limbo like champs. You two deserve this. I am so happy for you. Congratulations on your new home. The future is so full of hope and possibility now.
Everything changes now even how you fold your underwear, where the cooking knives are kept, Where and how everything is gonna be stowed . What an adventure. Dodger design, water catchment, head room, solar panels. You've created a loving community of invested Armchair sailors . You will be flooded with ideas on how to do things. Have fun
Pentimento looks like she was very well cared for by the original owner. Probably lots of great family memories there. I’m sure the owners are pleased it will land in your capable and loving arms ⛵️A toast to your new memories 🥂
Congratulations guys. I have always wondered how much boats would cost to buy in the US. To be truthful, I was kinda surprised that their prices are not dissimilar to what we pay here in Australia. Anyway, congratulations again and may God bless you and your boats and future journeys with joy and safety :-)
The best part of your new home is no real estate taxes. Older alternators are a PIA when they sit to long without use. Many times when you buy a used car that has sat a long time these rascals go out. I would put a new one on and rebuild the old one as a spare because sailing the world it could become very hard to find one if you need it. Cheap insurance. At least until you can afford to go solar. Congratulations and thank you for this incredible series of this part of the journey it will become a go to for those interested in the buying process. Not to mention the original owners will get to watch their treasure create so many amazing new memories through y'all.
Congratulations guys. The long dedication and hours you put into Atticus to achieve your dreams landed you here. It has been great following your journey. I have always wished Atticus was a better boat for you. Especially watching the hard work, money, tears, and time you invested. From your first video to now. It was hard living, but it got you here. I am very happy Atticus II is the boat. That sadly Atticus could never be for you. It makes me very happy to see you in a boat that now reflects your hard work and diligence. Congratulations again. I love to see dreams come true.
Congratulations! This is the news that we all were waiting to hear! What a beautiful boat. Now starts the next chapter in your lives. We look forward to seeing the adventures that you set sail to.
I have no doubt that Jordan teared up a little when he got that call accepting their offer. What an emotional rollercoaster! Happy for you guys and can't wait to see you sailing it to warmer climates!
My husband and I have been watching your journey for years and you are one of the main channels that inspired us to look for a cruising boat to live on by the end of 2021. We're so happy for you and def teared up watching this! Always great to see others' dreams coming true! Congrats and looking forward to watching the journey unfold!
So goes negotiation. The seller knew you _REALLY_ wanted the boat and they were willing to work to get their price. I'm glad you stuck with Bernie to get an agreement.
I saw that this was posted earlier and just got the chance to watch it. First, congratulations! Second, awesome video that lead me through all (at least most of) the emotional roller coaster of finalizing the transaction. As I watched the end, I could almost feel the exhaustion that engulfs one after resolution of days of anxiety about your future. I could imagine the comfort of reclining in the evening for your first night aboard....and the interrupted sleep that comes from every unexpected sound during that first night. A new home with strange new sounds...she moves differently to the waves...and everything seems amazing and wonderful - but strange. I wish you quick accommodation to your new home. Thank you for sharing the journey to Atticus II. I look forward to the journeys of Atticus II. Much love and comfort to you both.
Grats to you guys for finding your new home! I'm so excited for you both and this new boat will be in such good hands. You've both worked so hard and this is a much deserved new chapter in your story!
Sl1pg8r! I didn't know you watch them too! Thats so cool. What a small world! Love your content and been a fan for a couple years now. Since ark first started being a thing. 😁
sl1pg8r / sailing project Atticus....... this is the crossover we need to see!! I'm sure Jordan and Desiree would be awesome for you to talk to about the crappy time you have had looking for your first boat!!
Very elegant boat i hope it provided you wirh all that you need ro travel the world. Oit of curiosity where did you get the money? . We are thinking of building a catamaran but we don't have the money yet. We hooe you will consoder sailing to usla mujeres again and doind a meet and greet so we can meet you and see your gorgeous boat in person. Wishing you many best regards and fun on the water and think good and well before raising children on a sailboat. Who will help with passages. I saw a video of sv Delos where kazza seemed pretty bummed out and i admired her honesty when she said everything she enjoyed about sailing prior to having her baby she no longer enjoys. I admired her honesty and you would do well to take heed to what she said. I know she recanted becuase i think she had to. She didnt want to come off negative about having her baby. Bryan always looks exhuasted becuase he has to do all the navigating while she cares for the nugget. I guess if you have a third person on board who can help share the shift on passages or help with a baby that helps a great deal but if not how will you manage? Have you considered what will happen if you have a special need kid? Its something to think about long and hard. And eventually when your child grows up, is going to need friends, and social interacrion, i think all around sailing is very challenging at times and with a child on board will add to those challenges. Not to mention financial aspect Speaking from experience the illusion of having children is different from actually raising them. But we wish you the very best and cant wait to see you happy onboard in your new home. Its gorgeous
Congratulation, She's a beautiful boat, Love the exterior color and the wood interior is just right, not too dark or too light. I think you made a good choice.
Congratulations! What a great story, and very well told. Trying not to get emotionally invested in a boat is impossible. It's going to be your home, and a platform for some truly wonderful experiences. I'm really glad it worked out for you, and I'm looking forward to sharing your new adventures!
"already feels like our home" (before the sale) always a dangerous sound ... CONGRATS on the awesome vessel! We are so happy that you were able to be rewarded with such a great new beginning! Fantastic story to follow. thank you!
Job well done and for those of us looking from the out side in I believe all would agree the two of you certainly earned this in more ways than one. Enjoy, love and peace !
For me, the absolute best video! I loved watching all of the emotions and interactions. Also, the silent teamwork between you both is amazing. Cant wait for the next episode! May GOD continue to bless you both and keep you both safe.
One of the things I have appreciated most about the two of you is that you are not shy about sharing your search process, thing to look for, etc. It has definitely aided my husband and me as we consider searching for a new-to-us boat. Congratulations on your new home!
Man that's a lot nicer than that old scow you used to live on! You guys really drive a hard bargain, I thought the guy was going to get PO'd and walk away from the deal! Sounds like you got the absolute best price.
Congrats you two she is a beautiful boat worthy of you two and any little Atticuses you may be blessed with! Man who could of guessed you guys would end up here when your YT journey started?
These two humans are a couple of the greatest. I am so so happy for you guys, it made me tear up a little. You two beautiful souls deserve great things and it had been so great watching you expand and grow on this channel. Thank you Sailing Project Atticus for the honest entertainment you provide the world. We love you, from my family to yours!
If I were the seller, I couldn't imagine a better couple to sell to. This boat has been loved and will be loved for a long time to come. Congrats and thanks for sharing your story that we have had the pleasure of following.
RESPECT! The "road map" you followed to lead to the PS40 was truly EPIC. The many friends you interacted reached out to for their opinions was the "correct" way to buy a boat. The next phase of your adventure is starting out on a great foundation. Be happy, be safe
Congratulations! I kept wanting to swipe ahead to hear whether or not your offer was accepted, but I resisted and stayed with you guys all the way to the sale! Whew!! Beautiful boat indeed.
Loved the intro of the boat in the slings and going into the water. Anyone who has gone through that knows the feeling. You really captured the emotion. It is like a bird taking flight for the first time or watching your kid run for the first time. Newness, freedom, unchained. Thanks.
The alternator has brushes, when an alternator goes “intermittent”, it usually means that it’s due for bearings and brushes. No big deal. I always try to put the largest, most capable alternator on board. Beautiful boat!
@Tim Sawyer dude.......you rebutted me, by agreeing? Yes, alternators have brushes.....that run on “slip-rings”. A DC motor has a “Commentator”. Either way, it’s a graphite composite that makes an electrical connection on a moving surface,(brushes).....thus, why they need to be replaced periodically, along with bearings.
Mike your right on the money, alternators have brushes and if they are not worn the springs that apply pressure to the brushes corrode in a salt water environment. Just love people that don’t know what their talking about. Good to know your systems when your stuck somewhere remote and West Marine isn’t around the corner
@tim sayer The brushes on the slip ring determines your output. Output is determined by voltage applied to the brushes by the voltage regulator low voltage low output higher voltage more output. I’m always amazed that people throw gear out that just need a little attention, I think they call it more money than brains. Lots of information out there to fix stuff.
I knew it was going to happen based on the title of the video. Yet the news made me smile and tear up. Congratulations!! I wish I had known you were in Branford. It's about 45 minutes from where I live
This is the best TH-cam video I've seen in a very long time. The drama was compelling. All the aspects of your story was fascinating. The video quality and editing is exceptional. You two are endearing. And I don't even know anything about sailing. I don't know you but I'm happy for you!
So very happy for you both! What a journey! Many thanks from us here in Australia for you both being so proactively positive and refreshing. Again, well done and stay safe.
Congratulations you guys!! Finally got Atticus II after all that time spent studying, saving, waiting and all, such a relief! I'm happy for you all as a lot of us here are!! Feeling giddy and it's not even my boat!
I’ve watched for years and this episode is one of the best and most emotional ones you’ve guys have made. Unbelievable good. I literally thought am I watching a season finally right now and I was going to get so upset if the deal fell through. Thankfully there was no cliff hanger!!!!! Congrats on the new boat!!!!!
Oh how I'd love to be in your shoes. Ive thoroughly enjoyed the journey to make this choice and have to agree that is one special sailboat. Good job guys. Cant wait to see what you do with her.
The storytelling and production quality is just brilliant. Better than broadcast quality. Most entertaining thing I’ve watched in ages . Bravo thankyou and congratulations. I have the biggest smile right now
Sounds to me like there was no sense of urgency on the part of the seller/broker. If you were different people, they may have lost the sale. And I'm impressed that Bernie busted into the broker's office to light a fire under somebody's butt. I agree with you - even a short message like "we're very busy re-arranging our sock drawer, but we're reviewing the numbers and will be in contact soon" would have done a lot to allay your anxiety and improve relationships. But the grief seems to have been well worth it - she seems like a beautiful and well founded vessel that you'll have many great adventures on! Thanks for bringing us along. Thoroughly enjoyable series (and I thought it was tough to buy a guitar); looking forward to the next episodes.
I assumed it was like buying real estate and offers/counteroffers had time contingencies for acceptance or rejection. Guess not, but wow, what a beautiful boat.
What an amazing time to be part of your journey. It’s been such a treat following you two from the beginning and it’s so exciting to be watching the next chapter unfold. Brings a tear to the old glass eye as the pirates used to say...
Desiree, I have to say your personality always makes me feel like you're a straight-up Disney princess and you could definitely do voice acting, haha. Glad you're negotiations haven't taken as long as the ones on my flip house.
Congratulations guys1 Pacific Seacraft are one of the finest blue water boats out there, I'm sure you will have many great adventures raising a family on that beautiful yacht.
If not for the title, I don't know that I could have sat through that torturous wait. Congratulations!! 😁 you did what you had to do. She looks like a beauty.
@@Nuku.Hiva.Girl.2 On the contrary. While they may not have physically taken money from their pockets to buy Atticus II, their sweat equity and more in Atticus I allowed them to start this incredible journey. They worked at making world-class videos and the narrative that makes us come back every week to enjoy the adventure. Their time making these videos is just as important as money out of their pockets. Thank you, Des and Jordan.
If the seller’s broker knew you were holed up in a hotel room with all of your gear and ready to move on board then your “walk away” power was seriously compromised. Similar with international business deals - never let the other side know when your flight back home is scheduled to depart, your counterpart will run down the clock every time to force a compromise. (2k comments already - maybe this has been said somewhere below) Best wishes and congratulations on your new home!
Concur with the first rule, but I have mixed feelings about the second. These are very emotional transactions to both parties, wouldn't you rather like who is taking over your love, someone that appreciates it like you do?
@@seandelaney1700 Have you ever read Donald Trump's the art of the deal? No matter how you feel about him you ought to read the book. In this instance because they weren't willing to walk away they lost $5,000, plus what did they say it took 2 weeks extra for the seller to come back with a second offer. Look at the extra cost for the hotel room alone. The seller knew how eager they were and that's why they drew it out to find out just how eager they were. The other thing you got to remember the two greatest days of a boat owners life are, the day you buy it and the day you sell it, they should have used the second day to their advantage. Personally I would have walked away, what's the old saying the next one who blinks loses, they should have waited for the seller to blink.
@@satguy I read a fair bit of it a long time ago. They came up in price because the alternator started to work. In the end their offer was accepted, it was just nerve racking and yeah, it was bugging me too about the hotel. I'm sure the seller knew his boat worked so wanted to see it for himself, which he partially proved and saved $2500. It is hard to know why the seller stalled later when he ended up accepting the last offer. Overall I think they did well. And they got possibly their best video out of it.
Congratulations!! You've put so much effort into this and I'm SO happy for you that you got this boat. You deserve it!! Cannot wait to see all the changes you're going to make......and to see you on the ocean again.💕
I would like to say as someone who just sold their house and is moving in 5 weeks. 1.) it is NOT irrational to be anxious when you do not hear back from a buy for a period of 24 hours and it is ok to invest your heart into something. 2.) NOT trying to cr*p on anyone's agent or broker, BUT there should be a bit more communication in my experience. Just a "hey, working with the seller and they are busy" helps to calm nerves It is your future home and nerves, anxiety and tiredness are definitely going to be there. Love you guys are your channel!
What they should do at some point is thank all the viewers for giving them over half a million dollars in donations. They didn't have two nickels 2 years ago and now they are rolling in the cash all thanks to their viewer's donations.
At first sight putting the boat in the water I thought, “Damn! That’s really a big beautiful boat”. First chance you get make a pot of coffee, relax and take it all in. Give each other hugs make your move.
Catching up with you folks by bing watching the videos I haven't seen......so happy for you folks that you finally on board the next chapter of your life.....congrats!!!!! Good things come to good people!!!!
I got choked up watching you two finally on the boat. Those last couple of minutes had me shedding a few tears. Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey. Take care & stay healthy. 💜

So why am I getting choked up? You guys started as good story tellers. Now you are world class story tellers. As good as I've seen. Congrats on the new home.
Well said!
I felt same way. Made me feel like their family.
Yep I agree 💯% Y'all have become family and it kinda brought a tear there at the end, a tear of joy and happiness for you both. Congrats! Looking forward to many new adventures and story's from Atticus 2.
'' DONT YOU MEAN,''THERE SPEECHLESS,LOL..
The previous owner clearly also had a hard time letting go of your beautiful new Atticus II. Cant blame him. Think of all the memories they had. May you have the wind in your sails and travel all across the globe for many many years to come!
Nice boat, congratulations. We moved up from 35 to 40 in 2018, so nice to have the extra space, speed and comfort
Never have I been somewhat emotionally invested into a channel as I am with you guys. Thank you for sharing your journey.
“This is home.” I am so happy, someone is peeling onions! Your story and presentation was perfect, thanks for not ending in a “cliff hanger.” Now the fun begins. I am looking so forward to traveling along with the “Buds” and sharing your adventures.
Lol I was thinking the same thing near the end. This better not be a cliff hanger lol.
Right now I’m being bullied at my school it’s something that many have gone through and many are going to encounter and your videos help me a whole bunch thanks 🙏

Dear snow owel the only reason they bully you is because of you stop being a pussy an hook those jumper cables up makem see sparks shure u might get your ass beat but that hurts alot less than living with regret the rest of your life !!! Dont use that but they bigger than me xcuse eather ...have u ever seen a Philippinena fight they small a hell but that nevr stop them from being world champion
Brings back memories. Be kind, speak from strength/skill, be honest. Learn to defend yourself by sidestepping the aggressor, and letting them make fools of themselves,.Back it up with skills. No one wins if someone is badly hurt. A black eye, busted lip....a lesson learned. Someone maimed or killed? No one wins, totally unforgivable.
Sorry to hear that. I got bullied. Not bad. Basically moved from a good neighbor hood to a bad; then my dad got on some punks for stealing stuff. I got chased a lot mostly. I took some judo at the local rec ctr. That gave me some self esteem. It’s tough, but in a couple years, if you avoid them and do your homework, life will be good. They will probably end up working for you! Meanwhile, find a cool adult you can talk to, and let them know. You don’t need to do it by yourself; grow up ya know; it can be tough.

Thank you so much for the buying a boat series!! Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed watching!! Cannot wait for what comes next!!
Was really a big help watching your channel 😁 I am going for a test drive tomorrow and know exactly how u felt 🙈
Coming back to this video in 2022 knowing you guys are now expecting and about to set sails for the open seas! ♥️ having been watching you guys since you were on the hunt for Atticus 1! My heart is so full!
🤗 thank you! I need to re-watch this one again too!
Been watching you guys since the start. You really worked hard to get to this point. A true story of hard work, passion, and determination, you certainly deserve your new Atticus II.
Alternator brushes stick when they are on their way out. Same thing happened with Taylor's Travels recently.
Most people would replace with an upgraded one so that you're sure of it's reliability and performance.

Dont go to Oreilly auto parts or Auto Zone to get it,lol.
A good smack with a wrench works
Alternator are pretty reliable, most common issues are brushes, bearings and diode packs. All inexpensive and easy to replace. But if you’ve got lots of money go for an $800 Balmar. I prefer a Delco that you can source parts worldwide.

If there was an newer alternator than the motor: I heard that modern alternators need high rpm (some 6000) - much more than a normal diesel engine. So there should be a speed transformation via belt rims. Perhaps a new larger pulley might improve a lot.
The boat was laid up in a long, cold, New England winter. There is a little corrosion on everything. She’s got to stretch out and get back in the swing.
I shouldn't be so happy for people I don't even know. It speaks to how well you guys make your content. What a great channel. Congrats on your boat and good luck on sailing and starting your family eventually. We are here for it! :)
Wow! What an amazing video capturing the excitement and emotions involved with stepping into the next chapter of your lives. Excited to watch the upcoming journey.
Count the days and see when you felt that this is your boat and the strangeness goes away when you don't notice the new to you smell when you go down the companionway in to the salon, when you don't waken in the middle of the night to the new sounds your boat makes. i personally feel uncomfortable for a few weeks with a new to me boat, and one day i just realize I'm HOME!
Congratulations on your new home, she is a beauty.
-Dave, Vancouver
Breathe now please. What a memory for you and future family, Wow. Now time to breathe, and just live your dream. Thanks for terrific videos. Bless You.
You two handled the stressful limbo like champs. You two deserve this. I am so happy for you. Congratulations on your new home. The future is so full of hope and possibility now.
Everything changes now even how you fold your underwear, where the cooking knives are kept, Where and how everything is gonna be stowed . What an adventure. Dodger design, water catchment, head room, solar panels. You've created a loving community of invested Armchair sailors . You will be flooded with ideas on how to do things. Have fun
Pentimento looks like she was very well cared for by the original owner. Probably lots of great family memories there. I’m sure the owners are pleased it will land in your capable and loving arms ⛵️A toast to your new memories 🥂
Congratulations guys. I have always wondered how much boats would cost to buy in the US. To be truthful, I was kinda surprised that their prices are not dissimilar to what we pay here in Australia. Anyway, congratulations again and may God bless you and your boats and future journeys with joy and safety :-)
The best part of your new home is no real estate taxes. Older alternators are a PIA when they sit to long without use. Many times when you buy a used car that has sat a long time these rascals go out. I would put a new one on and rebuild the old one as a spare because sailing the world it could become very hard to find one if you need it. Cheap insurance. At least until you can afford to go solar. Congratulations and thank you for this incredible series of this part of the journey it will become a go to for those interested in the buying process. Not to mention the original owners will get to watch their treasure create so many amazing new memories through y'all.
Buying a house can be the same way. It becomes a very emotional experience. Congratulations to you both, what a beautiful boat.
True
They bought their home.
And the music is so well chosen to the suspense of your story.
Awesome, the tensions, the waiting, the frikking stalling, and finally seeing you two moving in, broth tears to my eye, so happy for you guys
Congratulations guys. The long dedication and hours you put into Atticus to achieve your dreams landed you here. It has been great following your journey. I have always wished Atticus was a better boat for you. Especially watching the hard work, money, tears, and time you invested. From your first video to now. It was hard living, but it got you here. I am very happy Atticus II is the boat. That sadly Atticus could never be for you. It makes me very happy to see you in a boat that now reflects your hard work and diligence. Congratulations again. I love to see dreams come true.
Congrats you two! She's a beaut! We're so stoked for you guys! Lots of love from Wavelength.
Thanks guys! Hopefully Wavelength and Atticus II will cross paths soon!
Congratulations! This is the news that we all were waiting to hear! What a beautiful boat. Now starts the next chapter in your lives. We look forward to seeing the adventures that you set sail to.
I have no doubt that Jordan teared up a little when he got that call accepting their offer. What an emotional rollercoaster! Happy for you guys and can't wait to see you sailing it to warmer climates!
My husband and I have been watching your journey for years and you are one of the main channels that inspired us to look for a cruising boat to live on by the end of 2021. We're so happy for you and def teared up watching this! Always great to see others' dreams coming true! Congrats and looking forward to watching the journey unfold!
I am 18 years old already planning to live in yacht and cruise the world
Target is to start in 2025-26 if everything go as I have planned
$210,000 can buy you a house with land in most states.
@@jonothandoeser bro we are sea lovers
@@ancienthindu1479 So get a cheaper sea craft! That's the point.
Go small, go now. (For varying degrees of "now", but definitely as small as you can make it, which is smaller than you think you need.)
So goes negotiation. The seller knew you _REALLY_ wanted the boat and they were willing to work to get their price. I'm glad you stuck with Bernie to get an agreement.
I saw that this was posted earlier and just got the chance to watch it. First, congratulations! Second, awesome video that lead me through all (at least most of) the emotional roller coaster of finalizing the transaction. As I watched the end, I could almost feel the exhaustion that engulfs one after resolution of days of anxiety about your future. I could imagine the comfort of reclining in the evening for your first night aboard....and the interrupted sleep that comes from every unexpected sound during that first night. A new home with strange new sounds...she moves differently to the waves...and everything seems amazing and wonderful - but strange. I wish you quick accommodation to your new home. Thank you for sharing the journey to Atticus II. I look forward to the journeys of Atticus II. Much love and comfort to you both.
Happy for you two and for the Atticus II journey that now continues! God Bless and safe sailing!
Grats to you guys for finding your new home! I'm so excited for you both and this new boat will be in such good hands. You've both worked so hard and this is a much deserved new chapter in your story!
Sl1pg8r! I didn't know you watch them too! Thats so cool. What a small world! Love your content and been a fan for a couple years now. Since ark first started being a thing. 😁
sl1pg8r / sailing project Atticus....... this is the crossover we need to see!! I'm sure Jordan and Desiree would be awesome for you to talk to about the crappy time you have had looking for your first boat!!
Very elegant boat i hope it provided you wirh all that you need ro travel the world. Oit of curiosity where did you get the money? . We are thinking of building a catamaran but we don't have the money yet. We hooe you will consoder sailing to usla mujeres again and doind a meet and greet so we can meet you and see your gorgeous boat in person. Wishing you many best regards and fun on the water and think good and well before raising children on a sailboat. Who will help with passages. I saw a video of sv Delos where kazza seemed pretty bummed out and i admired her honesty when she said everything she enjoyed about sailing prior to having her baby she no longer enjoys. I admired her honesty and you would do well to take heed to what she said. I know she recanted becuase i think she had to. She didnt want to come off negative about having her baby. Bryan always looks exhuasted becuase he has to do all the navigating while she cares for the nugget. I guess if you have a third person on board who can help share the shift on passages or help with a baby that helps a great deal but if not how will you manage? Have you considered what will happen if you have a special need kid? Its something to think about long and hard. And eventually when your child grows up, is going to need friends, and social interacrion, i think all around sailing is very challenging at times and with a child on board will add to those challenges. Not to mention financial aspect Speaking from experience the illusion of having children is different from actually raising them. But we wish you the very best and cant wait to see you happy onboard in your new home. Its gorgeous
slippp!!!!!!! what up broo!!!
at least i didn't find you on the weird side of TH-cam, looking at stuff and things.
Congratulation, She's a beautiful boat, Love the exterior color and the wood interior is just right, not too dark or too light. I think you made a good choice.
Ahhhhh! I can’t imagine how you feel right now...relief, hope, a new beginning, new adventure ahead! Congratulations!!!
Big smile on my face. Love the video and so happy for you guys. May you have some great journeys on your new boat for many many years.
Congratulations on your new stunning family home! It won't belong before She Who Must Be Obeyed has nested and Atticus will be reborn better.
Congratulations! What a great story, and very well told. Trying not to get emotionally invested in a boat is impossible. It's going to be your home, and a platform for some truly wonderful experiences. I'm really glad it worked out for you, and I'm looking forward to sharing your new adventures!
"already feels like our home" (before the sale) always a dangerous sound ... CONGRATS on the awesome vessel! We are so happy that you were able to be rewarded with such a great new beginning!
Fantastic story to follow. thank you!
Her wakeless passage shown by the drone shots was impressive, clean smooth entry, go anywhere passage maker.
To me, it looked the tide was falling ....hard, equating to no wake. Every boat...especially a displacement hull produces a wake.
Did do on that 😎
Job well done and for those of us looking from the out side in I believe all would agree the two of you certainly earned this in more ways than one. Enjoy, love and peace !
For me, the absolute best video! I loved watching all of the emotions and interactions. Also, the silent teamwork between you both is amazing. Cant wait for the next episode! May GOD continue to bless you both and keep you both safe.
One of the things I have appreciated most about the two of you is that you are not shy about sharing your search process, thing to look for, etc. It has definitely aided my husband and me as we consider searching for a new-to-us boat. Congratulations on your new home!
Man that's a lot nicer than that old scow you used to live on! You guys really drive a hard bargain, I thought the guy was going to get PO'd and walk away from the deal! Sounds like you got the absolute best price.
Congrats you two she is a beautiful boat worthy of you two and any little Atticuses you may be blessed with! Man who could of guessed you guys would end up here when your YT journey started?
Great to see a survey done the right way. And you both chose a good one.
I am so happy for you both! Seeing people win is one of my favorite things in life and you guys just won big. The adventure continues!!! Cheers!
These two humans are a couple of the greatest. I am so so happy for you guys, it made me tear up a little. You two beautiful souls deserve great things and it had been so great watching you expand and grow on this channel. Thank you Sailing Project Atticus for the honest entertainment you provide the world. We love you, from my family to yours!
If I were the seller, I couldn't imagine a better couple to sell to. This boat has been loved and will be loved for a long time to come. Congrats and thanks for sharing your story that we have had the pleasure of following.
RESPECT! The "road map" you followed to lead to the PS40 was truly EPIC. The many friends you interacted reached out to for their opinions was the "correct" way to buy a boat. The next phase of your adventure is starting out on a great foundation. Be happy, be safe
Congratulations! I kept wanting to swipe ahead to hear whether or not your offer was accepted, but I resisted and stayed with you guys all the way to the sale! Whew!! Beautiful boat indeed.
That boat is a work of art. I'm so happy she's found a good home. Treat her right!
Congratulations and take it from a lifelong mariner it is actually a good omen moving aboard in the rain.
congratulations, such a beautiful boat. The Buds continue their sailing adventure, with some junior buds on the way soon
I can’t wait to see you guys do a walk-through with us and show us the whole entire boat
Loved the intro of the boat in the slings and going into the water. Anyone who has gone through that knows the feeling. You really captured the emotion. It is like a bird taking flight for the first time or watching your kid run for the first time. Newness, freedom, unchained. Thanks.
Congratulations!... my wife and i cant wait for the adventure to continue! You guys are such a inspiration!
Excellent editing, story telling...best wishes on your new boat..
The alternator has brushes, when an alternator goes “intermittent”, it usually means that it’s due for bearings and brushes. No big deal. I always try to put the largest, most capable alternator on board. Beautiful boat!
@Tim Sawyer dude.......you rebutted me, by agreeing? Yes, alternators have brushes.....that run on “slip-rings”. A DC motor has a “Commentator”. Either way, it’s a graphite composite that makes an electrical connection on a moving surface,(brushes).....thus, why they need to be replaced periodically, along with bearings.
Mike your right on the money, alternators have brushes and if they are not worn the springs that apply pressure to the brushes corrode in a salt water environment. Just love people that don’t know what their talking about. Good to know your systems when your stuck somewhere remote and West Marine isn’t around the corner
@tim sayer The brushes on the slip ring determines your output. Output is determined by voltage applied to the brushes by the voltage regulator low voltage low output higher voltage more output. I’m always amazed that people throw gear out that just need a little attention, I think they call it more money than brains. Lots of information out there to fix stuff.
I knew it was going to happen based on the title of the video. Yet the news made me smile and tear up. Congratulations!! I wish I had known you were in Branford. It's about 45 minutes from where I live
What tipped you off?
Just beautiful... Just beautiful. Thanks for letting us tag along through this travel for a new boat. Congrats... Love your travels and videos..
Congrats you two, glad to see things working in your favor... Looking forward to the DIY refit.
Congrats, find out where the mechanic had to hit the alternator to get it working. LOL Love View...../)____
And with what size hammer and/or wrench.
@@BillB23 Exactly, but they do need to replace the inverter with a pure sine wave- but they know that.
@@captpeady2176 n6
Awe I didn’t want that to end! Congratulations!! So excited for y’all!
This is the best TH-cam video I've seen in a very long time. The drama was compelling. All the aspects of your story was fascinating. The video quality and editing is exceptional. You two are endearing. And I don't even know anything about sailing. I don't know you but I'm happy for you!
So very happy for you both! What a journey! Many thanks from us here in Australia for you both being so proactively positive and refreshing. Again, well done and stay safe.
I’m excited, with all your worries to get or not to get the boat.
A couple of years later, but I can still feel the beat.❤️
Congratulations you guys!! Finally got Atticus II after all that time spent studying, saving, waiting and all, such a relief! I'm happy for you all as a lot of us here are!! Feeling giddy and it's not even my boat!
I’ve watched for years and this episode is one of the best and most emotional ones you’ve guys have made. Unbelievable good. I literally thought am I watching a season finally right now and I was going to get so upset if the deal fell through. Thankfully there was no cliff hanger!!!!! Congrats on the new boat!!!!!
Oh how I'd love to be in your shoes. Ive thoroughly enjoyed the journey to make this choice and have to agree that is one special sailboat. Good job guys. Cant wait to see what you do with her.
Awesome result and a new home, let the fun and adventures begin on Atticus 2
The storytelling and production quality is just brilliant. Better than broadcast quality. Most entertaining thing I’ve watched in ages . Bravo thankyou and congratulations. I have the biggest smile right now
Sounds to me like there was no sense of urgency on the part of the seller/broker. If you were different people, they may have lost the sale. And I'm impressed that Bernie busted into the broker's office to light a fire under somebody's butt. I agree with you - even a short message like "we're very busy re-arranging our sock drawer, but we're reviewing the numbers and will be in contact soon" would have done a lot to allay your anxiety and improve relationships. But the grief seems to have been well worth it - she seems like a beautiful and well founded vessel that you'll have many great adventures on! Thanks for bringing us along. Thoroughly enjoyable series (and I thought it was tough to buy a guitar); looking forward to the next episodes.
I assumed it was like buying real estate and offers/counteroffers had time contingencies for acceptance or rejection. Guess not, but wow, what a beautiful boat.
Finally! You bought a boat. What a journey you've been on. Congratulations.
Good luck Jordan and Desiree on your new boat- Project Atticus 2
Soooo pleased to have been a virtual part of this experience - I love the story and what adventures you share
Kathy and I are thrilled for you guys! Adventure awaits... Show us the world! We're with you in spirit!
What an amazing time to be part of your journey. It’s been such a treat following you two from the beginning and it’s so exciting to be watching the next chapter unfold. Brings a tear to the old glass eye as the pirates used to say...
Well said Doc, well said...
"The alternator is not *currently* charging, I'm not *positive* why"... puns intended?
😂
Oh that Hertz
well lightning hit my boat and blew out the alternator how much to replace? 40 bucs ! car alternators fit these old diesels so no big deal
Ohm so happy for them, their broker Conducted the buying process, and the aura of this episode is Electric! :¬) Webhead USA
It's just that there is "resistance" to change
Desiree, I have to say your personality always makes me feel like you're a straight-up Disney princess and you could definitely do voice acting, haha. Glad you're negotiations haven't taken as long as the ones on my flip house.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this journey with us all! We felt like we were in it right there with y'all. Atticus II is beautiful!
Congratulations guys1 Pacific Seacraft are one of the finest blue water boats out there, I'm sure you will have many great adventures raising a family on that beautiful yacht.
If not for the title, I don't know that I could have sat through that torturous wait.
Congratulations!! 😁 you did what you had to do. She looks like a beauty.
Just like the Beverly Hill Billy's moving from Atticus to Atticus 2 moving on up. Very beautiful boat
I think that was "The Jeffersons."
@@Nuku.Hiva.Girl.2 On the contrary. While they may not have physically taken money from their pockets to buy Atticus II, their sweat equity and more in Atticus I allowed them to start this incredible journey. They worked at making world-class videos and the narrative that makes us come back every week to enjoy the adventure. Their time making these videos is just as important as money out of their pockets. Thank you, Des and Jordan.
A bit of both but you always have that one person who wants to knit pick everything and thinks it is their job in life to correct people. Too anal.
@@Nuku.Hiva.Girl.2 Good call, no doubt that was the plan from the start. And I'll bet this comment gets deleted.
First rule of negotiation, always be prepared to walk away. The second rule, never tell the seller how much you love an item.
If the seller’s broker knew you were holed up in a hotel room with all of your gear and ready to move on board then your “walk away” power was seriously compromised. Similar with international business deals - never let the other side know when your flight back home is scheduled to depart, your counterpart will run down the clock every time to force a compromise. (2k comments already - maybe this has been said somewhere below) Best wishes and congratulations on your new home!
Concur with the first rule, but I have mixed feelings about the second. These are very emotional transactions to both parties, wouldn't you rather like who is taking over your love, someone that appreciates it like you do?
@@rayf8162 Well said, I was thinking the same thing, they sure did run down the clock here, hard to know why.
@@seandelaney1700 Have you ever read Donald Trump's the art of the deal? No matter how you feel about him you ought to read the book. In this instance because they weren't willing to walk away they lost $5,000, plus what did they say it took 2 weeks extra for the seller to come back with a second offer. Look at the extra cost for the hotel room alone. The seller knew how eager they were and that's why they drew it out to find out just how eager they were. The other thing you got to remember the two greatest days of a boat owners life are, the day you buy it and the day you sell it, they should have used the second day to their advantage. Personally I would have walked away, what's the old saying the next one who blinks loses, they should have waited for the seller to blink.
@@satguy I read a fair bit of it a long time ago. They came up in price because the alternator started to work. In the end their offer was accepted, it was just nerve racking and yeah, it was bugging me too about the hotel. I'm sure the seller knew his boat worked so wanted to see it for himself, which he partially proved and saved $2500. It is hard to know why the seller stalled later when he ended up accepting the last offer. Overall I think they did well. And they got possibly their best video out of it.
Congratulations on that gorgeous new home!!!
I am SO excited to continue to follow your new adventures on Atticus 2
Big Hugs to you both!!!
Congratulations!! You've put so much effort into this and I'm SO happy for you that you got this boat. You deserve it!! Cannot wait to see all the changes you're going to make......and to see you on the ocean again.💕
Thrilled for you guys! What a gorgeous boat to raise a family on...congrats!
I would like to say as someone who just sold their house and is moving in 5 weeks. 1.) it is NOT irrational to be anxious when you do not hear back from a buy for a period of 24 hours and it is ok to invest your heart into something. 2.) NOT trying to cr*p on anyone's agent or broker, BUT there should be a bit more communication in my experience. Just a "hey, working with the seller and they are busy" helps to calm nerves
It is your future home and nerves, anxiety and tiredness are definitely going to be there. Love you guys are your channel!
This couple are good people. They Deserve this boat!
What they should do at some point is thank all the viewers for giving them over half a million dollars in donations. They didn't have two nickels 2 years ago and now they are rolling in the cash all thanks to their viewer's donations.
Thank you for making these videos! You two truly show the world that you can live whatever life you want if you just follow your dreams!
Awesome news. Very happy for you guys. Life is about believing in dreams and be happy.
Awesome! If you ever need any canvas and upholstery work I’m in upstate NY and would love to help!
At first sight putting the boat in the water I thought, “Damn! That’s really a big beautiful boat”. First chance you get make a pot of coffee, relax and take it all in. Give each other hugs make your move.
What georgious lines,love the colour scheme.
Sorry, not a big fan of the color but that's just me. Looks like a hell of a boat. I think (Hope) they will find a lot of happiness with (Her)!
Catching up with you folks by bing watching the videos I haven't seen......so happy for you folks that you finally on board the next chapter of your life.....congrats!!!!! Good things come to good people!!!!
I got choked up watching you two finally on the boat. Those last couple of minutes had me shedding a few tears. Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey. Take care & stay healthy. 💜
I appreciate seeing this chapter of your journey, can't wait for you taking her into deep water!
Congratulations, TH-cam please make this go viral so they can pay for it
22 yrs old rigging in good shape? Wow, never heard that. Can't be
Congratulations, I have enjoyed following you guys since the beginning. I look forward to continue for years to come.
Congratulations! The first day aboard it the happiest. Wishing you fair winds and following seas for years to come.
