I owned a CT 49 years ago and had lots of upgrading to do as well. The biggest upgrade with this boat is to get electric winches--essential! Those sails are huge. If it's not easy to get the sails up, you end up just motoring around. And it's a safety issue also: In high winds and big swells, you need to be in the cockpit and not outside exposed by the mast using both hands to hold that heavy portable drill jury-rig. Also, seriously think about a furling main and mizzen; they are expensive but make sailing a joy. Make the changes now, while you're in the process of refitting.
Bobby & Laura....my wife and i just upgraded to a 52 from a 34 (yes...power boat, sorry)...but having all that space, full fridge, freezer, washer dryer, storage, generator etc....is FANTASTIC!!!!! Definitely worth the work to rehab!! Its a great live aboard!!! Good Luck!!
My parent's had this boat built (sold in the 90's)! Her original name is the Christine Marie after my mom. Sad to see the condition that it is in now. But glad someone is going to put some love into her.
The forward cabin was originally a vberth. There also used to be a large teak table that was in the main cabin. Hoping that wasn't lost as it was gorgeous. Cushions have been changed as well. They used to be a light blue fabric. Cute dogs! :)
She's a great boat. I spent 11 days on her from Hampton to Tortola in 2014.
This is a great boat from someone who has loved them for years. The CT and Hans Christian and Choy Lee are a Pedigree of boats that have defined their legacy! This boat looks in Great shape and you should know that you will feel safe at sea in this beauty! Congrats x
Good sailing on her to come. Wife and I owned a 71' Loa /64'Lwl Taiwan Clipper. Not glass, double plank mahogany with 71' main mast. Sailed/carried small cargo and lived abaord her continously for many years, she was a gorgeous Ketch. Ya'll have an adventure ahead. Sail on until daybreak and then a few leagues further.

It was good to see Tarn... he did my survey on our Caliber 47 back in May 2018. No complaints and we love our boat.
Fantastic boat. It's got lots of character, something missing in modernity. The layout inside is second to none compared to newer designs. I love it, congratulations .
still a sail boat.. NO ROOM ..lots of work to do anything.. NO POWER WINCHES..forget it..sail boats are just work ..!!
All of your videos have great entertainment value but I really appreciate the ones that also give me a better understanding and education. I don't know that I'll ever own a boat but I would love to sail.
It's about time to get back to where you started. Buying a sailboat bringing the girl and the dogs. Just cruising like you did when you started. I can't wait to start watching again!
Bobby, Awesome to run into you at the Café at the Annapolis Boat Show. My wife was carrying those bones around for hours hoping to see the puppies. Great looking boat hope to catch up with you soon. If you staying up in Annapolis a while we will look for you on our next trip up. Good luck and thanks for sharing your VLOGs, always entertaining.
Looks like you have a good start. With all the time and work you've put in across the past few years I think you deserve a good start.
At last a real boat. I may start watching your channel again. This could be your forever boat.
It ALMOST has a pilothouse. That saloon is huge!
I mean its like New York uuuuge!!!!
And the Doodles are back!
If that outboard on the dingy starts you will be a lucky man! Outboards are great but make me crazy when they have "sat unused". NICE BOAT Bobby!
A 1989 CT 56 runs around $150,000 to $170,000 in the current market. Judging from the condition of Bobby's new purchase and knowing his negotiating abilities with a broker that had a yacht sitting in a dock for two years, I can bet that the price went quite down towards the $100,000. This is the kind of boat I used to sail back in the 80s and all I can say is that they are heavy, quite seaworthy and good at ocean crossing. Apart from new sails, a probable engine overhaul and new electronics, it looks like a great cosmetics project that can be tackled on while cruising. Maybe that is why Laura is back, for the sanding, painting and varnishing. Maybe I am "age" prejudiced but I find this boat beautiful.
Count on a lot of repairs! Nice boat!
I used to keep my sailboat at port annapolis. It is a great marina and i loved sailing out of it.
Hope you end up getting this boat, either way we look forward to more adventures!!!!
This was quite some time ago, so i imagine he has already got it
CONGRATULATIONS and best wishes. Think there is more than a month to get her all reADY and repaired !!
I missed this one the first time around. Nice to see Laura again!
What a great boat. Plenty of character. Great storage. Amazing space. Good luck.
This will put the channel back on track when it was most enjoyable for me.
Fred Meyling I could not agree more
I was just at Port Annapolis today getting a survey haul on my new boat.
Need to put tanbark sails on her.
Although you have some work to do, that boat is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Congrats Bobby, you nailed it !!! So happy for you, seriously.
Congratulations! I hope are in order! Nice boat! Love all the storage and the salon, galley and dinning area and bunks and suit look great! It looks like a real comfortable classic living boat love the wood interiors and all the amenities!
I am happy for you two and your doodles. What a great find in a sailboat. I know you will make it your own! Mike
you know what? That seems like a great boat for what you are doing Bobby. Hope you get her and do some passages!
Wonderful news... A new boat for Sailing Doodles... A little paint, couple new sails, and some touch up here and there and she will be perfect. Very happy for you two! Looking forward to seeing more adventures on this new vessel...
That salesman should be ashamed of himself. Nice boat gonna be lots of repair videos
That is one pretty ketch. A little work and a few purchases, and she'll be beautiful.
Congratulations Bobby and Laura on your purchase, she looks beautiful. Can't believe someone copied my tool for the capstan that goes into the right-angled Milwaukee that makes hoisting by your self a dream, even for pulling someone else up the mast. God bless and loved the boat tour - it was great.
Sorry! I had to add one other comment: the importance of a survey and Kelsey seems like a real gem 💎 to assist, not only the novice but all the way to the Insurance agent.
A great couple and a great boat. Definitely a strong chemistry between them. I foresee great journeys and an eternity of happiness together for those two. I'm never wrong about these things.
Nice boat ! That haul needs work and some serious sealing been there done that . But the rewards will be worth it . A working beer party with lots of friends might help .
Bobby said Annapolis right!!!! Finally! lol Congrats Bobby and Cheers! Wish we knew you were in the area...we would have brought you some 2TEN90 Homebrew!
Run Bobby run. What are you thinking ?
What did he end up paying?
You better give the maestro himself, Robert Perry, a shout, the man who designed such an amazing vessel. He's a personal friend and I'm gonna share this video to him. I too have a Bob Perry boat,,, a 77 Valiant 40,,,,, haven't posted any videos of her here yet,, gonna make her own channel. Good luck and fair winds
It will be fun watching you make this boat your own with the repairs and changes you will have to make. Hopefully you will have the patience and time it will take to do it right before you decide to take it on that first long voyage so you and the Boys can get back to what started this adventure to start with. Fix or move on and let Sailing Doodles continue. Good luck Bobby that on the new boat, looking forward to this new adventure.
Congrats guys! With Laura out on the bow pulpit, she was actually in a different zip code than Bobby was! She has great lines, nice interior woodwork and lots of potential. Lots of elbow grease and a to do list as things are found to be in need of repair or replacement. Electric winches would be a nice upgrade over the right angle drill. The interior layout/space is phenomenal! I’m sure the surveyor has a list to start with. Best of luck to you on your floating home. She will be a beautiful vessel when you’re done.
Bobby, look up "winchrite" electric winch. I have one for my Vagabond 42
I really like the master estate room!
Yes, the Master State Room is nice.
Just keep doing it man, I'm in the middle of a refit too and its costing more than i wish and taking longer than i want, but if you keep moving forward that is all that counts, and good on you for all your cool videos, congrats.
Happy new boat/home, may ye have many years of enjoyment and safe sailing 🇮🇪
They made beautiful boats into the 90's... Reminds me of Captain Ron's Formosa
I would say that is a "Grand Staircase", reminiscent of the type on the Titanic.
-- good thing they sail tropical waters!
Tarn surveyed our boat as well. Money well spent and he did a great job.
Looks like a “Captain Ron”
You'reggoing to have the nicest looking classic sailboat on TH-cam!
That's a real pretty boat Bobby & Laura's enthusiasm is infectious :)
Congrats - I agree with others that is great to see the boys on board again. I think it’s interesting since I thought you were going with either no boat ownership (OPB) or perhaps you would go for a catamaran. But she looks like a solid world cruiser once you make you upgrades. It will be fun to hear your comparisons to cats based on your experience with both. Best
Can't wait for the update on the boat purchase and more important the status of the crew !
Love the Milwaukee power winch, that is a brilliant idea as a backup winch handle.Brilliant, that would be about $3000 cheaper than an E-wincher. Beautiful boat guys, have fun with the sanding about time you got to working on some maintenance after all that fun holidaying.Ross
After looking at the main, maybe Black Pearl would be a better name
Please don't ask them what a "main"is.
Oooo! Black replacement sails anyone?
Super nice boat you guys we've no doubt that you'll make it uniquely yours in very short order. We are very excited for you two and are looking forward to following your upcoming adventures.
Maintenance Mondays are back!
Try Maintenance Mondays-Sundays.
right away when you said the boat sat for two years I said to myself those sails are probably rotten; nice boat I HOPE IT TREATS YOU GUYS GOOD ALL THE BEST
Hoisting the mainsail was horrifyingly funny!
Glad you have your on boat, hope all goes well moving forward. Besides the main sail, like the cordless right angle drill to raise it.
Now it's Captain Bob. Agree with surveyor abt bottom dimples. Good job picking a winner. Biggest problem on a CT is water access, but you wisely have a ramp!
Great to see the “Doodles” back in “Sailing Doodles!” It’s been to long without them.
I love this boat. It has character!
Flaws add character and character hides flaws.
Tarn did my survey as well and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend if in the Annapolis area.
This will end up a great boat for you. All it will take is cash and effort + time.. That said it might be a handful to single hand if bad weather hits. But you are a much better sailor than me.
New subscriber here....50 y/o Navy vet. I Wish I had a way to Live like That....
Beautiful boat. Happy for you guys.
Gorgeous boat. Hope everything works out. Love the wood work throughout and it is a ketch.
Congratulations Bobby and Laura! Looks like a fun boat. Best wishes on the retrofit. Can't wait to see your next adventure.
Looks like a bit of work, but she is a Beauty. Nice that its big enough to have the boys back onboard. Looking forward to some new adventures
Glad you are looking to own a boat again. Hope this one works for you. It's not what I'd be interested in, but I'm lazy. Just applied bottom paint to a much smaller boat and that was enough thank you. :)
Lots of work, work, work...then plenty of play, play, play! Good luck and great adventures ahead.
Awesome amazing beautiful people amazing beautiful places ❤
Congratulations, Bobby, she's a beaut! Wishing you nothing but the best and looking forward to your new adventures. Onward and upward, lad!
This new direction (boat & crew) for the channel is going to be great.
Looking forward to seeing the survey results...
Nice classic yacht, enjoy the next few weeks getting her ready..
Nice big boat. I hope Bobby fills it with lots of crew to help out and fix it up.
wow another beautiful boat, gal and scenery
Nice boat, great layout, and very spacious. Bit of work tidying up. 👍
That was some serious funny running up that wasted mainsail...
Bobby does all the work and keeps the boat afloat, while Laura sunbathe and shows off. Laura's gotten to go places that most people just Dream of. Her leaving seems like a spoiled child.
Congratulations you bought a new sail boat! It's good you had someone look at it for us novices we only know just a few points but having someone that had been around boats for years they can show some of the bad points like the sails, it's costly but you don't want to leave without good sails. I take it you don't have kids, your young have a lot of years to learn about sailing. We lived in Have de Grace which is at the mouth of the bay I was stationed at Aberdeen so we loved seeing all the sail boats out on the water. We now live in Missouri with the muddy Mississippi we had a few cabin cruises mainly for the kids and grandparents. Good luck I hope to follow you! on your voyage.
Mother of Pearl! THIS is a STUNNING Ship brother! The PERFECT NEW HOME
Great looking boat Bobby you get to fix it up as you go along an don't let anybody tell you what they like it only matters what you like it's great to see you go after your dreams good luck and here's to great health and living the dream
This boat looks like a mini "Lost Soul". Long live Bob Bitchin'!
Lost Soul was a John Gardener I believe.
@@mickeykeymoaw Lost Soul was a Formosa the Harley & Davidson of sailboats as Bob Bitchin used to say
@@alfavega52 Yes. You're correct. Thanks.
@@mickeykeymoaw you mean William "Bill" Garden, but actually the Formosa 56 that Lost Soul is, is a Formosa adaptation of it. This boat is a CT56, the lengthened CT54 which was Robert Perry's design.
You’ve found a treasure. You found a great home for you and the boys and you can make it your own. Good luck and sail her in good health.
I'm proud for you to have gotten such a beautiful boat!
Beautiful! I've always been a sucker for finished wood and you have a BUNCH in this boat! It just shows craftsmanship. Awesome! You guys are going to need an intercom it is so long! Congratulations!
What an awesome boat Bobby. Good luck with everything.
Looks like a bit of working project, good luck with all your travels ⛵️
Pretty nice boat little TLC and will look real nice good luck guys
One of your most interesting videos...I cant wait to watch your adventures.
Like it Bobby. Can't wait to see the adventures you have on this baby!!
Bobby, you are the right guy to evaluate a boat purchase, definitely know enough not to get hoodwinked ... 👍👍👍.
Bob! This is like a new beginning, can't wait to follow the development of this beautiful boat!
bobby, i know all youre thinking about is all the bells and whistles you have on that monster. and i also can appreciate that old world style... however, i'd spend a considerable amount of time thinking about the time required to maintain all that wood out on deck.. im only saying that bc i just spent the last six weeks sanding and painting our jenneau ds43 ( by myself) and oh my f-ing god...i want as little to maintain as possible.. pretty boat though and what a dance floor in the main salon!.. but theres no f-ing way id take on all that wood on a continual basis. youre a better man than me.. oh yea , i forgot , laura can sand and refinish everything every 2-3 years.. just kidding laura
Really love the boat... so many space... made me think about wanting to buy monohull compare to multihull... but still undecided whether sail boat or solar... I hope to own a boat soon...
Best of luck! The maintenance on this thing is going to be craaaazy.
Can't wait to see the ole girl get freshened up ! Cool layout!
A huge congratulations. Perfect is the enemy of good. And this is really really good.
¡Hola! Bobby & Laura from SV Epifania! (Marina Del Rey, Cabo) Beautiful boat. You know we’re fans of the CT line.
Bobby and Laura, even you buy this boat or not or buy another boat, I know you are gonna keep sailing and we are gonna keep watching your videos.....(Y)
