Such a great looking boat and it gave me a few ideas for my own. My P35 (Hull #135) is roughly a 12 if I am appropriately using the CQ guide correctly. Still putting in the work to get her up to a 20. lol. Can't stop watching your show. Thanks from Mobile Bay!
Great Find Guys! Sea Pup was obviously also very impressed as he was quite frisky here. Thank you for always being so thoroughly educational and entertaining. Cheers!
Love your vlogs!! Going to take sailing lessons this summer. I'm getting great information from both Ran-Day and you, will help in my decisions in buying my first sailboat!!⛵ thks
Wow, does THAT bring back memories! But, this particular one is the best I've ever seen? Even in the day- none were as nice, clean & maintained as this one is! Wowza- she's a looker! Funny, but she's neat as a pin! At my advancing age, I'd have to pass, but- I surely would enjoy the 1,000's of hours of loving labor investing in varnish, thinner & various grades of sandpaper! I bet you this owner went through dozens of shop vacs! (Comment for YT algorithm.) Love 'em, keep 'em coming, please! Ran-day, we are ALL due for a 1973 Scheel update as well. Any excuse to video your lovely boat is worthy of my time- please, remember your followers (and potential helpers!) we await your next installment with bated breath.
David as someone with shortness of breath myself I suggest you be careful with your bating breath, just relax and enjoy the show will get to you eventually. Whew !
@@YachtHunters You know, as much as I enjoy a stroll down memory lane wif youz guys, it might be nice to visit the new millennium. Funny, but here in 'Merica we have a couple of boat manufacturers that sell a 'boatload' (yachting terminology- I do occasionally get caught up in it!) of yachts? Catalina, Marlow-Hunter for example. Actually, the Luhrs' brothers built a dynasty starting in the mid 1970's that culminated in bankruptcy in 2012 & boy did they build alotta boats! It'd be nice to see, say a Hunter 41 DS, or mebbe a 44DS, heck even a late model '39 would be fun. Different in many ways (that hull/deck joint is an eyesore in any decade, but less offensive starting @ 2000), they sure knew how to please a 'Merican buyer based on the number of boats around. Even if you wanted to go back to the late 1970's or easrly '80's there's a ton of Cherubini designed 30 somethings to be viewed here in the Northeastern portion of the country! Great story (surprise ending even), exceptionally different boats & some very nifty interiors for those who don't love cave dwelling in humidity.
I had #123 a few years back, great boat. This one looks like it just came from the factory. Obviously a lot of love for her. Makes me want to get back on the water.
Been looking at boats in this size range and I always come back to the Pearson 35. I love the idea of a centerboard. There's plenty of them for sale and for a good price too.
i'd give it a 21-22, for the condition, ready-to-sail-ness, reputation and lineage. i'd be inclined to give it another 2-3 points for just being a lovely boat! a beautiful contrast to the angular monstrosities that are all the rage right now.
Thanks to you guys for your hard work and effort bringing these every Thursday toys uneducated and future sailors. I watch every episode trying to learn everything I can do when the time comes, I will be able to make the right decision.
Don’t wait too long Joeseph life spins buying Time has a way of getting away from you just go for it you’ll do OK if we can do it you know it’s not rocket science
Had a Alberg Designed Pearson Electra 22.5 ft Sloop in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Great boat with a full keel. Sailed every weekend to the Channel Islands west of Ventura, CA. Great Boat - handled very well in very heavy seas.
Love your incredible vlogs, I am looking forward to summertime on the Cape where I learned to sail at the age of 9. I started on a beetle cat and worked my way up to a schooner. ⛵️⛵️⛵️💕
Lots of custom woodwork here as I remember the plastic looking and bare fiberglass spots on the original, somewhat like Morgan when you looked at the plain model, say 40 at the 70s boat shows. So yes well appointed in this case and the draft would make her a really go anywhere boat for the Bahamas. Thank you guys for another look back at my younger days. I'd say even at her age, she would probably go around 39k.
I own Hull 102 of 1969 vintage. She is a great boat. I do wonder why all the water below the cabin sole around the centerboard trunk. Mine is dry as a bone and always has been. The engine as shown is a diesel for sure. I still have my Atomic 4 gasoline engine and it runs so smooth. I did re-power with a short block 10 years ago. By 1975 the Farymann diesel became an option, followed by a variety of Westerbeke and Universal diesel engines. The forward V berth as shown has extremely thick cushions which made it difficult for you to get into the v-berth easily. Mine are not nearly as thick but still comfortable and easy to get into. The onboard refrigeration was a nice addition as is the microwave. Nice review!
We do get a small amount of water down in the centerboard sump after a heavy rain mostly down the mast and some from a hatch vent we leave open I leave the hand pump in because its out of the way.
You can always pull the wheel out and put into the garage snd save it fot the day you wake up and say I wish I had a wheel instead of the knee knocker tiller … oh edit a minute …I have one. 🤔
I love the boat and it's easy to see the owner has maintained it very well. And I like the wheel position under the dodger for protection. It's a very well-thought-out boat. And you don't need that much room around an engine that doesn't have problems.. Westbrook Connecticut is beautiful. it's next door to Old Saybrook where I used to keep my boat. Hope you guys were able to stop at Bill's Seafood for a great meal and a couple cold brews
So far I’ve had a bowl of soup and a coke there one time but I hope to get back for a Friday night dinner there. I hear it’s a pleasant crowd snd that the bar fights won’t start til after I am back in my bunk. Thanks for the recommendation. CQ Thank you Karen
@@YachtHunters bar fights huh, seems like I miss all the fun..lol It's been awhile since I've been there but if memory serves, you better go early because it gets very crowded. Wishing you the best, captain🍻🍸
You guys do such a great job bringing all these wonderful boats to us, have really enjoyed your vlogs and advice keep the good work coming. Regard Noel.
Certainly a boat from the 60s. My first reaction was a Grampian and they did a peter van dyne design called the classic 31 And that shows a bow sprit but Canadians liked to add those to help balance out design issues I think. The molded cockpit makes me think English nice chai plates and good potty bowl. The music was a bit much I think I would have preferred the theme from “on golden pond” She is pretty with her sweeping sheer and spoon bow and happy counter If you took the video, you could check in the upper right corner of the transom and write down the code embedded there. It may not have one but worth a look. The first few letters will be. The. First few of the mfg Let me know what you find and I will keep looking. These are fun sleuthing She is pretty and if it is free it would
@@YachtHunters I was "supposed" to be a Grampian Classic 31 but I ruled it out because Grampians had Atomic 4 gas engines, a bowsprit and the angular cockpit coamings were echoed on the forward end of the trunk cabin, and this vessel has none of those features. I am more often mistaken than not though. I couldn't find a HID in any of the usual places. She does indeed have pretty lines and is available for $1500. I currently have many more boats than I should have so at this point I'm just being nosey when I go to look at them. I guess we'll call her a Grampian Classic 31. Thanks Capt' Q!
Yes this is a good boat So very well kept and shows really well If I was in the market I probably would consider her even with the Atomic 4 Good size and layout except for the engine access
That's not an Atomic 4, watch it again, you can see the high pressure fuel lines on the top of the engine. Looks like a three cylinder Beta (Kubota block) diesel to me.
Atomic 4 was replaced prior to my purchase with a Westerbeke 30B3, engine access isn't as bad as it looks both doors open and the center piece between them folds down. If you really need to get in there the front face of those cabinets comes off with just a few screws
Beautifully kept and modernized boat. Kutty's Arc a Pearson 36 from the 70s has placed in more Mackinaw races here in Chicago than I can remember. Chester Kuttner the first owner had over his career I believe 50 plus Macs. I think he first was in 1918(?) My wife sailed a little bit with him. An other classic plastic here in Chicago is Providence a Ericson 35 that has been lovingly maintained from 75(?) has been raced same family since new. I believe has won overall a couple of times. Let me know when you want to do an adventure to the Midwest where fresh water, no salt or sharks rule.
@@tomdonovan2986 35 ft is to big for an 81 year old. I'd go 26 ft for single handed sailing if you are just coastal cruising. Otherwise your limited to the availability of deck hands.
@@ciaranbyrne62 I know, I know. The blessing is that I am 81 and feel and think much younger. The flip side is I let my enthusiasm drag me into impractical situations. Thanks for the slap in the head...😉😊🤓
Love the boat. This past summer, I got a '79 Pearson 323 (32'). So many similarities in design of accessories.. That forward wheel though. . .I'd have to get used to. I've seen it on other Pearson models as well. No issues assuming you had an auto pilot. Otherwise you are steering from the side or standing all the time.
I too would have rated it a 20, I have a cousin that lives on a creek that goes to the sound here in the Northwest, and there is 6 feet at high tide and about 4 feet in the middle of the creek at low tide. And she has a floating dock! Would work great.
Perfect. I love those floating docks. We have a couple of harbor s here in maine. Strangely comforting to tie along side. You get the feeling your ashore … lol
I love the pearsons. I have owned a Coaster and sailed the Pacific on her, and I just sold a Pearson 39 that I sailed in the Caribbean and the Bahamas.
@@YachtHunters yes, she was easy to maintain. But the favorite boat I was lucky to own was an Sparkman and Stevens custom 48 yawl. There were only 5 built and Olin Stevens sailed on ours when she was in the Med. We circumnavigated with her in the 70’s. Unfortunately she sank off of Pitcairn Island in 1989. The yawl rig saved us in two dire circumstances. ( lots of stories here.)😊 I love the classic boats you find and enjoy your Vlog. Thanks
A very similar Pearson has been in polar bear country with Ocean Volt electric regen motor. If I had the dough and at least some sailing experience would luv this boat. Luv the channel even though I'm a noob to sailing.
Portland Pudgy dinghy cost $5K+ and, in my mind, eliminate the need for a life raft thereby making the boat blue water capable while not taking up space due to hanging from the stern davits - bravo. The sliding doors for the head and the forward cabin also save space - bravo, and the interior wood is beautiful. Unfortunate camera crew did not have additional lighting to view the diesel engine, and failed to explain how the center board is raised. Thanks.
Center board is raised and lowered quite easily with a line and located at the wheel. Currently on the marked for $45K. Well worth the money, and includes the Portland Pudgy and long shaft outboard motor!
Kudos to the audio- videographer. It’s not easy to get clear audio in a windstorm so I’ll forgive two red shoes instead of port and starboard colours 😊 😉. Also, nice to see contractual pillow requirements addressed! Nice boat too, btw. I like the headroom, ample cockpit, and she’s obviously been well loved. I’m curious, though, she’s “on the market” but with no price? I’m confused by CQ’s score of 19. If she’s ‘mint’, why not a higher score? Too expensive? Design, readiness, upkeep, safety, and value are key criteria. I’d have thought she was at least a 27 if the price was fair - $65k?
Our scoring system is complex and comes fro nearly 8 decades of yacht study against an interesting background. And set of random circumstances forged out of good luck Wait a minute. Is this chris again ? How many times do I have to explain this to you huh ? Lol
That's not an Atomic 4, watch it again, you can see the high pressure fuel lines on the top of the engine. Looks like a three cylinder Beta (Kubota block) diesel to me.
@@Tromsosail I agree, a diesel for sure! I have an Atomic 4 gasoline engine and that's NOT what is in the boat as shown. There should NOT be any water around the center board trunk as was shown. Mine is dry as a bone!
The atomic 4 was a nightmare, and with all the maintenance required, the poor access in this boat made it worse. I had my P35 for 13 years and replaced the A4 with a 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel. The A4 would give us maybe 3 1/2 knots, the tiny Yammer diesel a solid 7 knots.
She's a beauty, it will all just come down to price. Depending on the survey this could very well be one of the best little/mid sized cruiser finds available right now...
Did you know the earliest Pearsons were built on the Herreshoff Yard lands? (Where the museum is today) That's where my early 1962 Alberg 35 was built. The newer Pearson 35 is nice but I'll take the old Alberg 35 any day over it.
Another great episode, thanks again! I'm shocked to find myself questioning your rating of this wonderful find but really, only a 19?? The Bruce King got a higher rating and it was in worse condition...
It’s a very convoluted system and we’ve had to incorporate advanced government based technology to derive these numbers But remember She was a “10” to start with right ? Historically that has been more than adequate for all of us judging anything in the past. Anything on top Of that is just wishful thinking
@@YachtHunters "... advanced government based technology..." Ha! “… a very convoluted system” without rhyme or reason! Doesn’t matter. Like money, a score is just a number. Love it or lump it 😊.
With all due respect and affection for the Captain I have to scratch my head at this rating. The Tartan from 2 weeks ago was rated a 23 and it was very close to a salvage hull, then this Pearson is easily a 27-28. Take a point or two for the atomic 4 if you must, but still a far superior boat in comparison.
@@YachtHunters The necessary refit costs (assuming the owner was willing and ABLE to supply the labor) would have far exceeded her value. The only thing more expensive than a cheap neglected boat is a free one. Thanks for the lively debate fodder - this will keep us happily chirping along until the next episode. Looking forward to seeing more of Ran-days project.
Captain in your opening of your videos you are shown on the bow of a varnished boat. It looks like Heritage the last wooden 1m built. Later was sailed out of Chicago. Is this the boat?
Randy, I was wondering what the name of the band/song was at 4:00 or so in this video. I love the jazz you set these videos to. I have fallen in love with Nocturnal Spirits and others you have introduced me to. Thanks!
Note to seller, remember it's still a sellers market....price it appropriately. I sailed out of Westbrook a few times with Joyride Sailboat Charters ;)
Yeah but thanks to you you, I won’t even have time to call the owner and it’ll be gone. 😁 The market is still insane. I will have to wait an other couple of years when I hope things will go back to normal (?)
We are not selling until August and will be asking $45K for the boat so plenty of time to call if interested and perhaps even come see her if your close enough
I had some experience on a Pearson 35, better known as an Alberg 35. It was all original with the tiller steering and main furling around the boom. I loved that boat and the owner was giving me a lot of his considerable knowledge, which proved out to be all true. I think his boat must have been from the early sixties. Very different from your modern '72 model.
Could you please tell me what camera and microphone setup you use the sound on this video is astonishing I was overwhelmed when I watch the sound quality of this video
Thanks, Billy. The camera is a Canon R6 and we record audio separately via wireless lav mics (comica wireless 2x) with an external Tascam recorder. The trick is in how the mic is engineered into the hat. Hope this helps :)
Uma is a p-36 deep keel with skeg hung rudder. This P-35 video is a shallow keel/centerboard with barn door rudder attached to the keel. Totally different boats from the same designer Bill Shaw.
If your at sea you are probably. Part of a Watch system so you might only have to restrain your self for about 4 hours … otherwise go for it … in time the person below will learn to sense your imminent arrival and articulate their body to accommodate your feet briefly landing there all part of the fun and charm of sailing
Note a : a post resting on the keelson and supporting a deck beam of a ship. b : a post for use in securing a cable (as the anchor cable) Samson post part of wooden ship constuction in that it extends from above the deck and is anchored on the top of the keelson , the top of the keel. It is incredibly strong and suitable to be used to tow the entire ship
@@YachtHunters Great answer. I feel a great answer is one that requires me to learn an additional nautical term... "keelson". Guessing fiberglass hull boats never have a keelson.
Every bit helps, praise our Lord for the Big increase headed your way with a blessing of good health and friends, thank you Holy Abba I ❤️ you my God in Jesus name, Amen.
Some of these Pearson 35s aren't Center boards and full keeled, Some of the Bill Shaw 35's are cut away keels with a rudder on a skeg. What happened there?
It’s nice to see a boat that age in such wonderful condition!!
Fair winds ⛵️
Isnt it though
Beautifully maintained! Lovely. I raced and cruised a P35 over 20 years. It's a great family boat.
Pearson's always a good choice. I would rate it a 20!
Your influence regarding Pearsons moves us to get a 1979 Pearson 365 ketch!
I’m sure you will be h spy with that choice. Invite us for a sail sometime
Just out of curiosity what’s the name my dad lived aboard one that same year for a long time
@@YachtHunters It would be an honor. Anytime you're in the St. Petersburg, Florida area!
Looks like a great boat. The only draw back is that swing keel.
@@YourMom777-x3x Bahamas
Pink pants. Wonderful.
Classic boats. Swallows and Amazons. Love knows no end
Yes Sir. There were 514 P 35s made. Mine is a 1982 . Hull # 514 . Last one out the door . Beautiful Boat ! ! !
Very cool to get the last one off the line
Such a great looking boat and it gave me a few ideas for my own. My P35 (Hull #135) is roughly a 12 if I am appropriately using the CQ guide correctly. Still putting in the work to get her up to a 20. lol. Can't stop watching your show. Thanks from Mobile Bay!

So very well kept and shows really well
If I was in the market I probably would consider her even with the Atomic 4 Good size and layout except for the engine access
Yeah that engine space is tight for sure. It might be a good space to make the switch and put in an electric motor. Just a thought.
That's not an Atomic 4, watch it again, you can see the high pressure fuel lines on the top of the engine. Looks like a three cylinder Beta (Kubota block) diesel to me.

In the 70s and 80s, Persons were not slow boats.
Beautiful boat. My club has 3 of them and none are in this good of shape. Well done.
She is immaculate
One of the best P35’s I’ve seen. Often they have wet deck cores, centerboard issues, and the engine in backwards but if this one doesn’t, it’s a buy!
Thank you for your compara-points. Very helpful for an 81 yr old looking to get back into sailing....and living. Any thoughts are welcome 🙏 ☺
@@tomdonovan2986 35 ft is to big for an 81 year old. I'd go 26 ft for single handed sailing if you are just coastal cruising. Otherwise your limited to the availability of deck hands.
@@ciaranbyrne62 I know, I know. The blessing is that I am 81 and feel and think much younger. The flip side is I let my enthusiasm drag me into impractical situations. Thanks for the slap in the head...😉😊🤓
ditto tom

Love the boat. This past summer, I got a '79 Pearson 323 (32'). So many similarities in design of accessories.. That forward wheel though. . .I'd have to get used to. I've seen it on other Pearson models as well. No issues assuming you had an auto pilot. Otherwise you are steering from the side or standing all the time.
a short removable plank between the seats will give the helmsman some relief ...this can get fancy as well
Pretty much the same options with any wheel but the wheel forward is just not appealing to my tastes. It may be safer but...
I too would have rated it a 20, I have a cousin that lives on a creek that goes to the sound here in the Northwest, and there is 6 feet at high tide and about 4 feet in the middle of the creek at low tide. And she has a floating dock! Would work great.
Perfect. I love those floating docks. We have a couple of harbor s here in maine. Strangely comforting to tie along side. You get the feeling your ashore … lol
I think there was a video problem i did not see who won the race with the 53 footer 🤣😂🤣😂 great episode thank you for sharing! !
Thanks for being so kind and a delight
My question does the Capt currently
Have a boat?
Sunfish and a Rc 8’ model
Still looking for the other bookend 😀
Another Thursday 👍💯thank you guys for giving me something to look forward to 😁stay safe🙏
Think of us as the other seatbelt in your life
@@YachtHunters 😁✌️
Great post my friends. I really like this one. 🌞🌴⛵
Thank you Gef and thanks for being a subscriber and watching
I love the pearsons. I have owned a Coaster and sailed the Pacific on her, and I just sold a Pearson 39 that I sailed in the Caribbean and the Bahamas.
we love these stories The 39 was/is a cool basic boat with pretty lines I liked the yawl version of course
@@YachtHunters yes, she was easy to maintain. But the favorite boat I was lucky to own was an Sparkman and Stevens custom 48 yawl. There were only 5 built and Olin Stevens sailed on ours when she was in the Med. We circumnavigated with her in the 70’s. Unfortunately she sank off of Pitcairn Island in 1989. The yawl rig saved us in two dire circumstances. ( lots of stories here.)😊
I love the classic boats you find and enjoy your Vlog. Thanks
Reminded me of my old 1963 Islander Wayfarer 32 ft hull #6. 🗝️
thank you
Nice boat Captain Q. I have 1962 Pearson Electra & a 1972 Pearson 26. Much smaller than the 35, but they are fun boats.
Sounds like you need one more lol
@@YachtHunters lol the Mrs might have me pack the bags for a one way ticket to the marina if I add another to the fleet.
A very similar Pearson has been in polar bear country with Ocean Volt electric regen motor. If I had the dough and at least some sailing experience would luv this boat. Luv the channel even though I'm a noob to sailing.
Glad to have you aboard with us, Randy
Think you were a little stingy on the rating, fantastic condition and pride of ownership evident! Great episode.
I was but its complicated this rating business ,,, bear with me it will all be very clear the methodolgy is slightly obtuse
Portland Pudgy dinghy cost $5K+ and, in my mind, eliminate the need for a life raft thereby making the boat blue water capable while not taking up space due to hanging from the stern davits - bravo. The sliding doors for the head and the forward cabin also save space - bravo, and the interior wood is beautiful. Unfortunate camera crew did not have additional lighting to view the diesel engine, and failed to explain how the center board is raised. Thanks.
Center board is raised and lowered quite easily with a line and located at the wheel. Currently on the marked for $45K. Well worth the money, and includes the Portland Pudgy and long shaft outboard motor!
I kept thinking today was Friday but now I know it's Thursday. 😎
You’re doing better than me. I thought it was still February
I guess I'll have to restrict my sailing to my son-in-law's PY 23, but this one sure looks nice inside. Keep the good stuff coming Captain.
We sure hope you Anything that floats is fun and OPBs are the bedt
Kudos to the audio- videographer. It’s not easy to get clear audio in a windstorm so I’ll forgive two red shoes instead of port and starboard colours 😊 😉. Also, nice to see contractual pillow requirements addressed! Nice boat too, btw. I like the headroom, ample cockpit, and she’s obviously been well loved. I’m curious, though, she’s “on the market” but with no price? I’m confused by CQ’s score of 19. If she’s ‘mint’, why not a higher score? Too expensive? Design, readiness, upkeep, safety, and value are key criteria. I’d have thought she was at least a 27 if the price was fair - $65k?
Our scoring system is complex and comes fro nearly 8 decades of yacht study against an interesting background. And set of random circumstances forged out of good luck
Wait a minute. Is this chris again
? How many times do I have to explain this to you huh ? Lol
I'm from Minnesota, I'd have a can of Spam in there as well. Happy boat hunting!
got to get a can been a long time
Classic Beauty.
Thanks for sharing.
a real sweetheart
Lovely,thank you both
Thank you Carol and thank you for watching and hopefully with your subscribe button ringing in your ear every Thursday lol
Very nice! Very impressed with this boat. Please come back with a price if you can.
Contact owner. See ‘
‘show more ‘ button under episode description
Capt Q was at my marina?!!! Cool! Hope you got to eat at Bill's Seafood. I could have yelled at him for getting me into sailing.
Hope to drop into Bills soon
With my hearing it’s best to yell at me
@@YachtHunters lol ok I promise I won’t yell. Be great to see you there!
love it. Thank you. You can day sail her or spend the summer on her
Zing!
Theres one if these in seattle that looks quite nice for a 1970 boat for 8500 dollars.
I look forward to your episodes each week. Learn something new each time. What happened to Pearson after their purchase?
When are we going out on Capt Q's or Randay's boat?
I love that boat, great layout and very well kept --- but the Atomic 4 and the engine access are near deal killers IMHO
That's not an Atomic 4, watch it again, you can see the high pressure fuel lines on the top of the engine. Looks like a three cylinder Beta (Kubota block) diesel to me.
@@Tromsosail I agree, a diesel for sure! I have an Atomic 4 gasoline engine and that's NOT what is in the boat as shown. There should NOT be any water around the center board trunk as was shown. Mine is dry as a bone!
@@Tromsosail Nice catch - I'll have to rerun the episode.
The atomic 4 was a nightmare, and with all the maintenance required, the poor access in this boat made it worse. I had my P35 for 13 years and replaced the A4 with a 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel. The A4 would give us maybe 3 1/2 knots, the tiny Yammer diesel a solid 7 knots.
These details are great for boat lookers and wil help them to think about solutions to apparent issues. Thank you for contributing
She's a beauty, it will all just come down to price.
Depending on the survey this could very well be one of the best little/mid sized cruiser finds available right now...
Could be in the top ten
Officially on the market. $45K is the price. Well worth it!
Always a joy!! Thanks 😊
Thank you Dan and thank you for watching out for subscribing
Did you know the earliest Pearsons were built on the Herreshoff Yard lands? (Where the museum is today) That's where my early 1962 Alberg 35 was built. The newer Pearson 35 is nice but I'll take the old Alberg 35 any day over it.
Another great episode, thanks again! I'm shocked to find myself questioning your rating of this wonderful find but really, only a 19?? The Bruce King got a higher rating and it was in worse condition...
It’s a very convoluted system and we’ve had to incorporate advanced government based technology to derive these numbers
But remember
She was a “10” to start with right ?
Historically that has been more than adequate for all of us judging anything in the past. Anything on top Of that is just wishful thinking
@@YachtHunters "... advanced government based technology..." Ha! “… a very convoluted system” without rhyme or reason! Doesn’t matter. Like money, a score is just a number. Love it or lump it 😊.
That’s the spirit. By george I think he’s got it !
With all due respect and affection for the Captain I have to scratch my head at this rating. The Tartan from 2 weeks ago was rated a 23 and it was very close to a salvage hull, then this Pearson is easily a 27-28. Take a point or two for the atomic 4 if you must, but still a far superior boat in comparison.
The tartan did earn extra points for her price and broader availability to more buyers with limited resources
@@YachtHunters The necessary refit costs (assuming the owner was willing and ABLE to supply the labor) would have far exceeded her value. The only thing more expensive than a cheap neglected boat is a free one. Thanks for the lively debate fodder - this will keep us happily chirping along until the next episode. Looking forward to seeing more of Ran-days project.
I know the pros and cons but I love a well maintained Atomic 4.
Captain in your opening of your videos you are shown on the bow of a varnished boat. It looks like Heritage the last wooden 1m built. Later was sailed out of Chicago. Is this the boat?
Sue matey. She now continues to sail out of Newport and if you have an extra doubloon when in town the delightful skipper will take you for a ride
Randy, I was wondering what the name of the band/song was at 4:00 or so in this video. I love the jazz you set these videos to.
I have fallen in love with Nocturnal Spirits and others you have introduced me to. Thanks!
RanDay will publish his information eventually he has so many irons in the fire there is hardly room for the fire
TBD is right, how would you price a specimen like this?
Would love to have a Pearson 385.😉
If he's storing his crayons with his Dinty, he must be a Marine.
Hahaha
cute :-)
Wow, Sailors really like Dinty Moore beef stew!!!
Note to seller, remember it's still a sellers market....price it appropriately. I sailed out of Westbrook a few times with Joyride Sailboat Charters ;)
The supply is dwindling but still some owners smarting from on going storage etc
Thanks guys!
Thank you for subscribing
Yeah but thanks to you you, I won’t even have time to call the owner and it’ll be gone. 😁
The market is still insane. I will have to wait an other couple of years when I hope things will go back to normal (?)
We are not selling until August and will be asking $45K for the boat so plenty of time to call if interested and perhaps even come see her if your close enough
Do we have a price yet?
I would think north of 50K. It is beautiful.
You'll be happy to know that "Peapod" is up for sale at $45K - but feel free to offer more if you wish;)
I had some experience on a Pearson 35, better known as an Alberg 35. It was all original with the tiller steering and main furling around the boom. I loved that boat and the owner was giving me a lot of his considerable knowledge, which proved out to be all true. I think his boat must have been from the early sixties. Very different from your modern '72 model.
I need you guys to come review some of the boats I wanna buy around the Chesapeake!
We would love to
I raced numerous triton’s great boats
Looks like the atomic 4 has been replaced, no?
Could you please tell me what camera and microphone setup you use the sound on this video is astonishing I was overwhelmed when I watch the sound quality of this video
Thanks, Billy. The camera is a Canon R6 and we record audio separately via wireless lav mics (comica wireless 2x) with an external Tascam recorder. The trick is in how the mic is engineered into the hat. Hope this helps :)
I think it was a Pearson that Sailing Uma converted to an electric sailboat. These boats appear to be very solid boats.
Confirmed. Yes. It’s a P36.
Uma is a p-36 deep keel with skeg hung rudder. This P-35 video is a shallow keel/centerboard with barn door rudder attached to the keel. Totally different boats from the same designer Bill Shaw.
When in a pilot birth do you just step on the person below you to get out if one needed some midnight Dinty Moore
If your at sea you are probably. Part of a Watch system so you might only have to restrain your self for about 4 hours … otherwise go for it … in time the person below will learn to sense your imminent arrival and articulate their body to accommodate your feet briefly landing there all part of the fun and charm of sailing
Great boat, I have hull 210 😎
Weldone dad.
Thank you my child
@@YachtHunters any idea of the price yet... approx...
Pretty well equipped
without question
I also live in New England but I would be inclined to call the bollard a samson post. Is there a difference?
Note
a : a post resting on the keelson and supporting a deck beam of a ship. b : a post for use in securing a cable (as the anchor cable)
Samson post part of wooden ship constuction in that it extends from above the deck and is anchored on the top of the keelson , the top of the keel. It is incredibly strong and suitable to be used to tow the entire ship
@@YachtHunters Great answer. I feel a great answer is one that requires me to learn an additional nautical term... "keelson". Guessing fiberglass hull boats never have a keelson.
This boat brought to you by Dinty Moore.
I am wearing the same socks as Capt Q
Sock drawer bandit. 🙂
i thought i noticed cold air on my toes
.. Cheers to you ..
Every bit helps, praise our Lord for the Big increase headed your way with a blessing of good health and friends, thank you Holy Abba I ❤️ you my God in Jesus name, Amen.
Amen brother
Is the island packet 40 in the background for sale?
Contact sean at Rummerys Boat Yard in Biddeford me
In very a good condition sailboat ⛵
Yes, very well kept up and improved
What is the name of the dingy on the dock again (@ 1:15), cant recall for the life of me ...
watched the rest of the video ....
Portland Pudgy -- check it out here... they are pretty neat: portlandpudgy.com/
Some of these Pearson 35s aren't Center boards and full keeled, Some of the Bill Shaw 35's are cut away keels with a rudder on a skeg. What happened there?
i don't think i have an answer to that
You are thinking of a different Pearson model. For instance the Pearson 10M is about 35’ and has a deep keel and skeg rudder.
@@yankeexpress - Sailing Uma's boat is a P35. Skeg hung - 1975
