- An electric-powered 28,000lb hybrid bluewater sailing cruising boat? You betcha! It's a 1978 Formosa 41 sailboat for sale (coming from a popular William Garden design) that was also built as a Sea Tiger Sailboat, Yankee Clipper sailboat, CT41 & a Formosa Sea Wolf (there's a lot to figure out there!). It turns out to be a great system even for a sailboat this big (and heavy)

And my man, thank you to my man ~
🇨🇦 my parents took us 4 kids from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to the Bahamas on an ATLANTIC CLIPPER 41 ❤ which he bought in 1977 brand new. We picked it up off the container ship in a shipyard in New Jersey in July 1977 and brought it north on the Hudson River thru the Erie Barge Canal to Oswego onto Toronto to be showcased at the Toronto-In-The-Water Boat Show held annually in mid September. We departed for our year cruise just before the Erie Barge Canal closed for its' season and went as far as Georgetown, Bahamas before we turned north and headed back to living on land. My Dad instilled the love of sailing in all us kids - I turned 16 in that year (I'm 61 now) and have very fond memories of the year we lived on this boat (her name was - the LONG REACH) ❤ !!
ive mimicked that very set of circumstances in 1975
on a 44'dutch ketch named Giggler maybe we passed one another
🇨🇦 our home yacht club was Frenchman's Bay YC in Pickering and our sister club is Wilson YC directly south - annual long distance regatta to them on Labour Day weekend ... if you were near there during the 70's, we were sailing as a family on an Alberg 30 then.
When I read Formosa 41 I got excited again. I know it's only a pipe dream but I love looking at boats that I could actually live on long term. I absolutely adore the carved wooden door panels, it's such a focal point to show off the master carpentry that went into this classic yacht. Loved the electric motor and generator idea, I'm sold on that too. Thank you Captain Q (and Ran-day) for another great video showing us the future of propulsion on a classy fiberglass boat with some real heavy duty woodwork that looks like she would go anywhere you have the time and money to take her. Wishing I were 10 years younger and a whole lot richer so I could make myself a part of her history. Looking forward to the next one and to another Ran-day adventure !
Thanks Gordo, we loved seeing her and they do evoke a grand spirit of high seas travelling with palmy balmy isles ahead
I have owned the same boat in France for 30 years now. But mine was made by TaChiao Brothers in Taywan in 1975.
It took several years to eliminate all water ingress on the deck and coachroof, but now it's completely watertight.
I also installed a large diesel engine.
It's a boat full of charm and very safe, but not very fast in light winds. Lots of strong gales crossed without incident.
What a beauty.
I have a special place in my heart for Formosas, (Mostly thanks to Captain Ron. 😂) and no lie, if I had the money for it, I would be on the road to Massachusetts tonight.
The Formosa 41 is and always has been the never ending project boat. At least with the new electric motor and diesel generator you have two less projects. The teak is never ending as is the rot associated with the glass over ply construction of the cabin and under deck. However the hull is bulletproof glass. Pretty traditional look with that bowsprit but is it worth the extra dock fees? Always the question with these.
Great look at this one..
Looking forward to next weeks new video. Cheers!
Yeah, we have an Island Trader 37, which has is no doubt related to this one, both in terms of design, designer and construction. I'd say our boat is a "labor of love", but the emphasis is on "labor" lol. Our boat had the teak deck removed and is now fiberglass. The wooden masts have been replaced with aluminum. The poor boat leaks like a sieve, but wow have we had fun the last 10 years day sailing her. Absolutely no regrets, but it might be the last late 70s' early 80's Taiwanese boat we buy ;-).
Oh, and Randay, you'll never have to worry about putting the rail in the water LOL! If that happens, you've lost the keel and it's a code-brown moment.
You're not kidding.
hahahahah code brown!! ;) great, helpful info here... good things to keep in mind. thanks, folks!
this for me might be one of the best boats you have ever shown. Its simple, beautiful, Its VERY livable! its a great place to eat, sleep, read books, enjoy the sun. Relax. It has a place for a captain to be alone. away from everything. I Only spot simple problems, the use of random screws, places where I can see latches have fallen out. Easily fixed wood work and paint work. scrubbing and cleaning. the engine and power is PERFECT! I saw one guy have generator problems in the middle of now where and he bought two portable generators to charge his batteries and he never used the other one. even kept the generator on deck protected from the elements. Electronics are so BASIC in what they are composed of. No strange valve or adapter that has to be a certain size, weight or age. when you go to replace an electronic item is not a specialty item that only a few people need. its a part that is used in one million things all around the world. simple thinks like "dont like that little sink? yank it out! put in a deep two container one" this might be my "perfect boat" well done guys! (oh and Randy, your fuel and water tanks: when I saw those new bladder tanks I was like "OOOH YOU NEED THESE!" no more metal tanks full of gunk. smaller sets of tanks that fill up, or you empty then and two people can lug them off the ship! amazing!}
yes, love those bladder tanks... although removing mine might require dynamite (as Walter Schulz told me off-camera).. One other viewer spotted that we need a stove/oven to prep to go offshore... so make sure to bring that along to install!! cheers, earl!
@@YachtHunters I think I need a warning on all my comments like _knows nothing about boats- then I say "easy, just cut an hatch into the tanks, climb in and Sawzall off sections small enough to pass out of the hatch. probably take you and afternoon and three beers! Man I love this boat! I would make it a live aboard. Get an amazing wood worker to fit out the most amazing living space and bedroom. Did you ever read "cannery row"? I think I am like henry the painter. he lived on a boat that was on the stand in a forest. was always working on it. someone asked why he never put it in the water and Doc said "well he loves boats, hates the water"
Ty Captain Q, a hybrid formosa wowza
yup
Far out, what a ship Captain. Imagine the Swan dives you could do off the bow sprit!!!! Beautiful yacht.Thanks guys.
now you're talking!!! love that idea!! cheers, andrew!
Guarantee the deck core is rotten under the teak deck. You may not notice as the fiberglass is pretty thick and with the teak on top, itll still feel pretty firm under foot. Probably some in the cabin sides too. The main mast chainplates should also be replaced if they haven't yet. Unfortunately they are fiberglassed over and when water leaks in through, there is nowhere for it to go. So it sits and corrodes the stainless steel and rots the wood they attach to. Mast steps should also be inspected. They are good boats, but they have a lot of faults too. But I love mine... I've got a few seconds video on my channel of me sticking my finger through the wood the chainplates attach to on mine when I cut the glass off.
hopefully you are not spot on but that's a starting point for your survey
@@YachtHunters I hope I am wrong too! That electric drive looked pretty sweet. I just know from my own Formosa and most of the other's in the Formosa groups I'm in having these same issues. But, as they are common, there is lots of knowledge in those groups to help someone along with those repairs. Swan diving off that bowsprit into tropical waters would make time spent doing repairs worth it.
@@YachtHunters Here is the short vid of mine of what is possible to find after you cut off the fiberglass that covers the chainplates inside the boat. th-cam.com/users/shortsD_UycPCYfWw?feature=share
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. CAPTAIN Q HAS A TRUE LOVE FOR SAILBOATS AND IT SHOWS. HE IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN RAN-DAY AND CAPTAIN Q IS AMAZING. I ENJOY THIS CHANNEL VERY MUCH AND HAVE WATCHED EVERY VIDEO. THANKS FOR PUTTING OUT THIS GREAT CONTENT.
Thanks for watching and the kind words. Cheers
That is a special boat…great layout…electric is perfect….amazing price…
LOL Ran-day " I would love to see you varnish it.!" HAHAHAHA!!!!
a little sass for the captain.... I did enough varnish work on the PB to last a lifetime (although, I really do enjoy doing it for whatever reason?) ;)
I've heard that though beautiful these boats don't sail very well, and it takes a lot of wind to get them moving around 20kts.
I would love to hear more about sailing characteristics on some of the boats you show. Great channel live the information and your humor.
I just love your choice of well built boats, even if some of them need some TLC. Also love your choice of music.
I live on and sail a 1973 Hardin Seawolf and these boats are built like tanks. It's true there is always some project to be working on, but these boats are head turners. Not to mention comfortable inside and heavy enough to take a good pounding.
You will get good at varnishing and also repairing fiberglass if you own one. But they're worth the love and attention.
Another great video. Thanks Captian and Ran-day
thanks Tom!
I had a pontoon boat for many years. The original table was missing and the mounting bracket was cracked. I bought a 48" × 30" folding utility table that was adjustable to height. It worked for a dining table at proper height, it worked as a cocktail table when moved to the fore deck. It folded up and was stored out of the way when not in use. Best boat table I ever owned!
Bonus points for some creative thinking 👍
I'll be dreaming of riding out a storm in the Milaca Straits on Serenade tonight...
This boat has the most perfect hull design I've ever seen. I'm in love. Why are so many people afraid of the maintenance of teak? Just have to get it all refinished then sand and treat 1/4 of it every season thereafter, and don't ever let it get that dry, that's it! This boat would look so gorgeous with all that teak sanded smooth, oiled and shiny, and the trim pieces around the cabin top sanded and stained with white gray stain so they blend in a little better. The wooden spars having been painted to cover repairs, that's not a show stopper, but it is a little scary. I wonder if the owner took pictures of the repairs before paint? Last thing, the drone shot of her under way was incredible, she was really moving and there was barely any wind...seemed like maybe 5 kn? Definitely include more drone shots in future videos please 🙏 Or make a video of all the drone shots you have so far, just back to back, drone shots of sailboats are magic. Thank you Captain Q and Randy!
our pleasure and enjoy the night air of the straits snug in your hove to Serenade
not a bad idea to go with a hybrid on a sailboat , nice !
Pretty clever, right? Another viewer suggested some regenerative power too and that seems like a great idea. Cheers
Very nice boat! I have an electric motor in my boat and it's great! One issue with the ELCO motors: most of the other brands can do regeneration under sail (turn some of that propeller spinning under sail into electrons for your batteries), but ELCO does not. With a heavy boat like that, one wouldn't be generating a lot of electricity - probably enough to keep the instruments going - but it can make a difference. I get about 100W sailing at hull speed. An extra solar panel would make up the difference.
great point... regen makes total sense especially for a heavy gal like this... what motor did you go with?
@@YachtHunters I have an Electric Yacht motor in my boat. It was actually installed by the previous owner, but I've had the boat for over 4 years and am happy with it. One more note - ELCO markets their motors listing "HP equivalent" while others list the kW rating. The EP-70 is rated at 30kW continuous, and the largest motor Electric Yacht makes is 30kW. I think Oceanvolt may offer better regen than Electric Yacht, but they are also more expensive. Likewise with Torqueedo.
That was cool
I was always told depending on the yard in Taiwan level of busyness that would roll the mold from one yard to the cousins yard. Hence the variety of construction level. I always love running into the far east sand casting winches or other parts!!
makes a lot of sense... the craftmanship is really fun to see up close... cheers, jack!
Incredible livable usable space in a 41ft boat perfect contrast to modern design that feels the need to put separate cabins and an extra head in that space.!! 😃 I hope you pumped the bilge out before you left!! 😂😂😂😂
The words, wood veneer, was never spoken in that ship yard.😊
😂
That sprit is legit!
Sat down for a cup of coffee and to check my emails and videos and up popped the Captain and Randay. Makes for a great lunch break. Thank you for touring this beauty gentlemen.
glad to be an accompaniment. cheers, matt!
Nice boat
Good to see Thursdays are back!!! Ahoy Boys!!!
Ahoy to you
Nice boat but short on berths, would be great space for a stern cabin and raised after deck! Just the job for the Pacific.
Thank you Captain..💖
Looks like a decent boat and see lots of potential to make it more livable... And that's the best electric motor conversion I've seen...
thanks karen. You might also check out some of the other electric conversions that have regenerative power... those are also quite interesting, especially for a heavier boat with lots of momenturm. cheers
Cheers to you.
Love what you do Randy and Capt. Q😊
Thank you Anthony
What a Beautiful boat!
Curious and interesting usually translates into any number of headache scenarios, however this beauty is awfully hard to resist. Thanks Capt.
agreed.... we heard from a Formosa owner that it's a labor of love and they enjoy being owners for 10 years but to keep in mind you must love keeping the projects rolling on her....
@@YachtHunters Depending on your commitment, love affairs require varying degrees of maintenance.
🎉handsome vessel. Very interesting.
It's love! You two are the best
I love this boat!
Ahoy Capt'!
I've been eyeballing that beauty for a while now!
Cheers Jeff
P S. I really want this one!!!
I have followed your channel for at least 3+ yrs. I look forward to each episode…you and Randy make a great team …I know this might upset some folks, but Seadog, Dinty Moore and Frixenet have long past their sell by date, in fact fingernails on a blackboard comes to mind…I wish you would give them a long sabbatical. Sorry, I had to say it… stay safe…
👍. But not the dog
This is very beautiful boat!!!
Agreed!! Lotta style and smooth operation 😍 cheers
Amazing as always! Try to find a Garcia, it’s one of my dream boats
You gentlemen are in fine form , just in time for spring. 😎..
thanks Rick!
Love it!
Hi captain, amazing, I think that it just need some solar help and the batteries will be happy!
What a great boat. Cruise anywhere in the world there's a fathom and a half of water in her. And it's plenty big enough for me to live aboard. If I had the scratch right now I'd be very seriously considering catching the first thing smoking to get out there and buy it.
A great find.
they do give you the itch for your scratch, keep the faith
So now that as you said you’re spending more time with the “Taiwanese” boats I’d love to see a number of names pop up in your feed. Baba, Tashiba, westsail, Hans Christian etc 🙂 they may not fit that definition exactly but they’re kind of cousins. Just my two cents. Loved that Mariner 40 you did not long ago. Made me dream of the South Pacific!
That Mariner 40 was really neat and similar to the Formosa. We love all those boats you’ve mentioned and they’ve been high on our wishlist. Thanks!
Thank you for covering this boat! I have a William Garden Porpoise ketch which is similar, but built of wood in Hong Kong in 1974. I purchased it as a project and I haven't sailed it yet, so I'm very interested to hear your thoughts on this general design. In the case of my boat, the wooden hull has held up very well. The deck and hatches have been the biggest source of problems, from rainwater penetration.
interesting to know... keep us posted on how the refit is going... always curious to hear about the inside scoop
Take those 8D AGM's and toss them overboard and replace with Lithium 8D's [$8800. now a day's for the works] then you would have something useful and efficient. Might want too move the kitchen to the other side and have a larger space and just make a small map desk where the kitchen is now. Love it otherwise CHEERS AND FAIR WINDS Steve h.
Once the galley table is made you will have a great chart table
lithium's? good for starting fires!
Hey, I didn't see a stove or oven. It's hard to live on a boat or cruise for a week when you can't cook any food. I guess you could eat some cold DM stew. : - )
good catch! DM straight outta the can is a little rough. We'd probably think about a convection stove top and a microwave over to prep her to go offshore
End up on the beach on a lee shore with that motor
A wonderful boat NOT a dock queen Well loved as they say all the heavy lifting has been done in the upgrades just simple maintenance left to be done .and a good price for what you get .she's a win win in my book .A great find Cap .tank you .and Ran-Day that bow sprit is big enough to camp out on don't you think ?😁
just give me a seat cushion for a pillow and i'll spend the night there - at anchor ;) cheers, logan!
@@YachtHunters Sounds like a plan to me .Rocked to sleep on those gentle swells of the sea.
@@YachtHunters
You could motor out and the only noise would be prop wash..
The elco suits the style but its a bit of a lump and really could do with a smaller sized regen hightorque motor with a variable pitch prop.... for batteries I would go with the Lithium Iron blade cells... now and add some solar or a FLIN sail .
Though Na Sulpher and Al cell techs are all coming in this year and they can handle cold ...running flat and are very stable . ...plus theres a lot of room below decks on this boat.😊
That genny will run any system direct and still be more efficient than running a direct diesel a lot of the time . Id soundproof its housing and mounts though as far as possible and scavenge back any heat as far as possible
for hot water or heating.
Mine!
For the displacement, a 41 is not so so great for space below, but it is a good looking boat.
slow boat but the wood work is lovely
Best
Just magnificent below deck!! I am in love with the carvings!!! My heart is all a flutter now! This boat is well worth the price. Thank you Captain Q and Ran-Day for another fantastic video!
A interesting boat with a lot of special features. Love the electric motor, it looks like the boat will need a little TLC but a well built boat. Overall a really nice cruiser.
spot on thank you for watching
Do they ever have extension on horizontal of mast? Maybe hydralic extension when tacking, retract to clear other rear mast.
no the booms are always able to clear the other vertical spars (masts) ...i hope that's what your asking no?
Pour hot toilet flange wax on the exposed terminals. It will easily survive a good dunking. I would treat all the high power terminals, regardless of how high they are. Check to make sure the material isn't conductive first.
that's a great tip... even if it does sound a little gruesome based on the name....
I was wondering if you will ever cover a home build? A good example is a Bruce Robert's design.
sure... if we come across one we'd love to see how one might look/hold up. thanks!
What a pretty well maintained boat. Great show. Thanks. I was once at the Formosa yacht factory in Taiwan. The quality can be seen here.
did you see them playing hot potato with those molds? ;)
Any boat that has dovetail joints in the drawers HAS to have been built well to begin with. Would you add a 120 or 150 Genoa or so to it, and how much would that add to the bow rigging? Would you have to move the stay for the yankee?
first....i would just go sailing with what she has in different wind patterns,,,,then ,,,,
Nice price trka needs to get over a dollar
trka?
If had a backyard with a hundred Oaks I'm not so sure Id even want a Boat ;)
It needs a rack of lifepo4s. Smaller, lighter, dramatically more efficient as you can fully discharge and far longer lasting around 7k cycles if you discharge to 80% max. even then you should still over 80% capacity. The more KW the better. Solar, wind and aqua chargers to go with the generator. That's 20-30K right there and you haven't bought the really expensive stuff like sandpaper yet, lol. Im not a woodworker but I bet Ive spent more on sandpaper than I have shoes in my life.
I presume there was leftovers
@@shannonmcbride2010 Im not suggesting putting a Tesla in this boat.
The pennies Ran-day must collect:
Elco EP-70 electric inboard = $15,995
Northern Lights 6kw genset = $13,295
Nine 8D 12v batteries, with charger = about $6,100
Total in the $35,000 range.
(I did not shop around, though.)
Puts the price of the whole boat in perspective.
you're right... that's a lotta pennies right there... although I have a 5KW genset on board which has been running nicely with not that many hours on it.
Batteries in the bilge...? Doesn't expect any issues... Sounds like FLW. But I like the use of an electric motor.
Your simply the vest
we'd settle for the vest as well... sounds like some good haberdashery ;), thanks, mac
Did Capt. Ron knock off the binnacle compass?
hahahah it's hear somewhere! great movie
❤
Capt.Q i have a question for you on a 1979 Etchells Pearson 46 i guess it is considered a racing boat but could that type of boat be good for blue water? It needs lots of work and just not sure because i don't know much about Etchells boats
I can picture the 46 when she came out let me research her
Btw
“American sailor, builder and designer, mostly of small racing one design craft, best known as the designer of the Etchells 22. Originally from Trenton, N.J., he studied engineering and naval architecture at the University of Michigan.
During the second world war he worked with the Navy on the west coast, and later at the design office of Sparkman & Stephens in New York.
Ethchells boat building facility was located in Connecticut. His version of the STAR and LIGHTING class were, in their day, usually seen at the head of the fleet.”
You have this info probably.
Yes she was built for blue water.

AMASTAR should be considered an easy "Project Boat" with a bunch of little cosmetic tasks, nothing major. She is fully functional so you can alternate your weekends sailing and making her look pretty.
Decks need painting
All exterior teak needs to be stripped and varnished
DC wiring and lights need some work
Some interior painting
Replace windows some day, they don't leak and not broken, just look bad
Spinnaker pole needs repair
New navigation lights need to be installed
I bought this boat six years ago from Stanford University with the intention to outfit her as a very fast, short handed, world cruiser but my age (75) and health conditions have caught up with me and changed my plans. I am an experienced cruiser with more than 100,000 miles of blue water cruising with the dream to "go again" and some strong opinions as to the perfect boat to make a circumnavigation. I wanted a fast, strong boat with exceptional sailing characteristics that would also power well because it has been my experience that you spend 50% of your cruising under power.
Her layout is conventional, kind of like a big 35 footer, with a large "V" birth forward followed by a head to port and hanging locker and sail bin to starboard. The main salon has settees to port and starboard with a drop leaf table mid-ship followed by a chart table and quarter birth to starboard with a full "U" shaped galley to port. The cockpit is exceptionally large with the Yanmar engine and Walter "V" drive below. The cockpit lockers provide easy access to the engine and other systems. As a side note. With her large cockpit AMASTAR would make an excellent commercial day sail boat and she was built in the USA.
She is in Alameda, CA at Marina Village. I will be on board for the next five days getting her ready to sell. I think a fair price is about $22,000 which is way less than her engine, sails, winches and lead are worth. She is fully functional and ready to have fun if you don't mind the ugly decks.
@@YachtHunters Honestly Capt. Q you told me more about the boat than i knew, from what I've heard it was owned by Cornell University at one time and he name was Tantrum, i have seen a few pictures of what she looked like before but none that were really good, it needs a complete refit and when the father passed away someone stole all the things he had for it so now it's more like starting from scratch, i knew that if anyone would know about the boat it would be you! I Thankyou do much for responding back to me! I'm not sure if it's a task i want to get into but she has really good bones to her yet! Take care Capt. Q and i look forward to more videos
@@YachtHunters Thank you so much for all the info Capt. Q it's truly an honor to listen to your knowledge of boats, i don't know that much but i really want to learn though so it's sailors as yourself that help us new guys learn. Thank you so much
A gallon or two of teak oil and she would be perfect!!
So it needs fuel to power the generator to charge the batteries to make it go? Yep, that's a hybrid alrighty 😉
... think I'd get some solar panels right away.
It had 15kw of solar panels, but CQ removed them so he could surprise Ran-day.
hahahha.... CQ is part magician
One of my favorite boats and a channel I follow, Sailing Miss Lone Star with Aubrey , who after a year of refitting her Formosa 51 is getting ready to circumnavigate in her "pirate ship". Her latest gives a tour and a guest from Precision Sales. All this should encourage whoever looks at buying this boat with big dreams. The woodwork cannot be understated and what a price. Thank you Captain Q and Ran Day for another inspirational video. Aubrey's link and tour is th-cam.com/video/VJKisFYOlSM/w-d-xo.html
didn't she cut a hole up front for a bowthruster? That concerned me at the time but thanks for the link!
Thank you FF for your continued involvement we are so glad to be able to bring a little inspiration in to your life ..These boats are just plain fun with no nod to any rules except safety , seaworthiness and comfort
Is that a real dog? I haven't seen it move yet.
👏👏👍👍
Cape Dory Typhoon at 4:06?
bingo... and had a nice chat with them before the took off (coincidentally, fans of the CQ show).. they picked a gorgeous early spring day
As a typical Leakey teakey it will give you plenty to do. Keelsteps and the base of the Samson Post need to be checked. The electric motor is the way to go! Fault tolerant, no transmission, diesel engine running at an optimal load of 80 percent. Nothing to do with the environment, just good engineering!
good point about the keelstep and samson post... we've seen on others where those can wick water up from the base
So pretty a boat, sad there are serious leaks and rot, corosion on rigging, never ending work.
does the electric engine has regeneration? if not what the advantage?
no re gen but the hybrid is a start
were was the stove and oven
good eye... both have been removed (forward of the sink) but there's room to put them back in.
What kind of life jacket is Sea Dog wearing? (Asking for a four legged friend)
Ruffwear

We have never contacted them for support. Probably should. But you can tell them CQ sent you and that over 10.000,000 people have seen Sea Dog in their garb

Two loose wires here...Better than caffeine
Would you call the bench the captain is sitting on behind the wheel an actual poop deck?
the judges would accept that... although traditionally, poop decks were for observation by the commanding officers... it seems to suit this lovely little ship... thanks!
It needs lipo 4 batteries
Capt , the guy who Owns Thomas lannon wasnt the builder he was the Skipper and Hired A Local Designer builder in Essex named Burnham who built Thomas Lannon right on the Bank of the Essex River Ellis i understood was only the owner and Skipper I Watched Burnham Lay Keel and plank her sides During the Winter monthes and the launching was a big deal Burnham must be the owner of that boat ??
Burnham was the designer and builder, Tom Ellis paid him to do the build and he then got his captains license and ran the boat out of Gloucester Harbor on hourly sails and charters. I helped with the build, rigging and as volunteer crew for a couple years at the beginning of her career in Gloucester.
thanks very much for the correction... much appreciated!!
Where's the dishwasher?😬
Dyneema lifeline. Sounds like paper safety glasses, or open toe work boots. Dyneema is awesome stuff and definitely has proper applications, but not for safety lines. It seems like some dyneema is better than others, it's inconsistent. Maybe there's counterfeit dyneema? I'm going to Google and check...
Edit: found all kinds of stories about how to tell if it's dyneema and counterfeit climbing rope, so maybe that's the reason I've seen variation. One story was "Dyneema vs Chyneema" apparently a Chinese knock off of dyneema. Seems like it's important to know who you're buying it from. Anything valuable is being counterfeited these days, how sad.
i could be all adrift on this stuff but it just doesn't feel right and it seems that with a lot of these new synthetics they feel the need to lessen the diameter making it harder to hold no?
@@YachtHunters yes, definitely! The lines are like sewing thread! Real dyneema at 1/4" dia is 8600lbs tensile strength, crazy, but it's so little! And it breaks down quickly if it rubs on anything. I definitely wouldn't use it for lifelines, I'd go with the traditional braided, bare stainless steel. How about you Cap? If you see this, I want you to know how happy you make me when I watch your videos. Like you, I see wonder in things, and the beginning of each video where Randy does a compilation of many of the positive comments and praise you give the old girls. Great stuff, thank you:)
P.S. think about this, 100 years from now, your body of work will have been viewed millions of times, kids will have done college English or visual arts reports about you, you'll never be forgotten Captain Q!
Aged boats should be depreciated 1% per year on top of depreciation rate, unless she is true vintage.
I am disappoint. There is no carved mermaid under that bowsprit...
Agreed. If I bought it that would be the first job.
agreed! time to get someone to cast or carve one!!
It was great to see an hybrid sailboat , I just saw this one with Gary Jobson's Wood 32

I would definitely be concerned about the crack above the mounting brackets of that motor! Looks like the motor weight has caused a sagging issue!
ill take another look but i m sure the owner is aware of any issues he's just not an avid varnisher
It would be a great project boat for someone but $68k for a 45 year old boat which needs serious TLC is a hard sell.
AGM LMFAO
Absorbed Glass Mat ....no ?
There’s one of these on the hard in San Diego at San Diego Boat Movers. Asking price $4000. Offer Up ad posted. Needs a bit more work than this one ….
let's all chip in and buy it and fix it up!!
6-7000 to 68,000 lol
Way over priced!! It would take 30 grand and alot of personal hours to make this boat ok. 68$ wow I would give it more like a 40 score. Thanks for the videos guys 😊
Ok. Thanks your opinion. We love getting them all
Not often I say this, but that boat holds zero appeal for me. Ugly cockpit, the teak looks like an expensive-to-remedy mess, and truly horrible, dysfunctional layout down below. The carved door panels are beyond tacky. Pretty bowsprit, but that's the only thing attractive on this boat as far as I'm concerned.
It’s good to know what you like and sometimes more important to know what you don’t like… there’s a lid for every pot! Cheers HD!
Very kewl
There’s nothing like the smell of a diesel in the mohnin’
Ain’t that the truth
