Thanks for watching!

I realy enjoy your sailing tutorials and experiences. At 71 it is nice to see and experience it all from the comfort of an armchair. I see the Great Lakes, Bahamas etc. without all the worry and anticipation of what can go wrong. I must congratulate you on your personal touch, honesty and great job of making video and chats.

You are becoming my go-to source for boats. I basically know what I want, but I love to hear what you think. Please do an electronics video aimed at the modern day cruiser for the East coast, Carribean, Gulf and the islands.

Just discovered this channel again, last time I thought you were just trying to sell your boat! 😅 So now you have another sub. But I have to say one of the reasons I am subing is because of the comments! The comments on this channel contain a awesome amount of information, like another channel. Thank you for all the comments that are so well written and contain so my knowledge, all! Fair Winds and Following Seas to you all. Respectfully

My 1986 Hunter 34 has a breaker marked Loran. Ha! I was working on Loran-C preamps in the mid 80's in the USCG at a depot repair facility. We were also working on Omega equipment at that point in time. Loran was officially supported in the US until early 2010.

We had Loran on our US Coast Guard 41 footers and 95 footers in the 80s!

Your opening statement is the BEST way to ever say that. I'm not crazy

Cheers to you for giving us dreams.

We need an episode explaining the classic, ‘…this is the end of our cruising adventure. Dump this thing and let’s never speak of it again!’ What drives the emotional, rational, financial, and practical decisions?

It's really a function of how the boat is set up for sail handling, whether it has systems that assist in docking, such as a bow thruster, and how experienced the owners are. For example, my spouse and I sail our 54 foot Jeanneau all over the Great Lakes without any crew other than the two of us. Factors that help us accomplish that are in-mast main and head sail roller furling, all halyards and sheets run back to the cockpit, electric winches, bow thruster and we wear head sets to communicate with each other while docking. We also plan ahead and have all dock lines set at the bow, stern and spring cleats before we make our approach into the dock. With that equipment, those preparations and active communication, we comfortably can sail and dock our 40,000 pound boat with no issues.

@@peterbyrne652 No doubt, classically rigged boats are going to present challenges for couples. Bottom line, if someone has to leave the cockpit to manage a sail, you are going to need a third body for crew (and maybe more for a larger boat). And while we sacrifice a little boat speed with our roller-furling main and genoa and shoal depth keel, we get some of that back with our upgraded carbon laminated sails. At our age, convenience, comfort and safety trump performance.

I agree with everyone’s comments but it is a loaded question that doesn’t have a set answer. Biggest factor is ur ability and experience for example I have singlehanded a 2008 lagoon 440, yes and docked it by myself both incoming and outgoing it wasn’t simple and it wasn’t in strong winds or bad weather if u work at it almost anything is possible with proper techniques experience and being prepared, but basically if the boat is setup for short handed or singlehanded operation it can be done, most monohulls are easy to dock if they have a bow thruster even better with stern thrusters also but u can’t always rely on them, was on a hunter 466 and the bow thruster went out was difficult to dock but still got it done. There’s a saying when docking slow is pro. To give u and answer as a general rule most sailors consider under 50ft to be the cutoff for short handed sailing but the bigger factor is the captain’s ability to manage everything it is always easier and safer with 2 or more. Edit: oh in mho go and get asa certified up to 50ft for both mono and cats that will help with experience and insurance

What a great $-point for moi, your episodes are demonstrable,… thank you for my everyday mid meditation to be on tack!

This kind of episode is *exactly* why I am a Patron. Love what you are doing....keep doing more. I am really REALLY interested in what you think of multi-hulls...inasmuch as that is what we are thinking of for our retirement.

From what I get listening to you over several episodes, boat shopping boils down to one word: 'compromise'. So in your educated opinion, would you compromise on age or on size?

Catalina 42 mark 2 went into production in 1995. The ‘93 you feature sure looks like my old 42 mark 1, which was a ‘94. By the way, main bulkhead tabbing and port side tabbing of settees pulled apart due to hull flex in 46 knot winds and 13.7 knot hull speed. I got rid of it as in my experience (San Juan, C&C, S2, Mirage sailboats owned) they are not strong enough to trust in a gale. Sailed beautifully and tracked like it was on rails with a deep keel here in PNW. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your productions. Cheers from Saltspring Island.

Part 2 is warranted. Do it, my VinWiki brother!

What about the Gemini 105M? Decent sized small cat that will fit in a normal slip. They have dagger boards so they might be decent up wind. I’ve never been on one but they’re definitely in this price range.

Oooo good call. Nice boats.

I wonder what the Catalina 42 would be like with the new laminated sails. It would be an interesting show. How is the handling different? How is the performance different? Which means to be fair you would have to sail with and without them on the same day so you would need 2 identical hulls. Think about it. The most popular (in number) boat on the sea comparing the standard sail to the most high tech sail available. You might even find some sail makers who want to sign on to that project and willing to contribute the sail. Doesn't hurt to ask. It's amazing how small changes can make a big difference on a sailboat. For example Parlay Revivals 2 ft. extensions to the sugar scoops increased their top speed by 2 kts. You never know what you will find out till you do it. As much as I hate dark wood interiors this boat impressed me.

Great video!!!!

I had a Baltic 35 which was a great boat. That boat got replaced with a Dufour 38 Classic which I've had since she was 1 year old. Granted the Dufour is in a different class than the Baltic, but the Dufour 38 Classic is another great boat! Dufour got it right with the Classic series. I was not looking to purchase a Dufour but really liked what I saw, and love how she sails. My racing friends want to race her, and I still recall how impressed the surveyor, who had never seen a Dufour, was during the survey. I can't speak for other Dufour models, but will endorse the Classic series built by Dufour.

Love it 👍👍👍

I'd love it if you could break down the budget on James's Oyster on Sailing Zingaro. It was like the first sailing channel I started watching. He paid 100,000 for it in Curacao. I think he paid 40,000 too much. That thing has like 19 thru hulls. That thing was rode hard and put away wet.

Everyone has a different priority, for me that Sea Star was the best boat shown, though she would not make a good coastal boat, but get her out in the blue and she will outshine everything else on the list. Enough tankage to reduce or eliminate the need for jerry cans on the deck, something I hate. I like that you spent about a third of this video on her. While I would never buy a Catalina I do understand the appeal.

I looked at two Brewer 46's about three years ago as they were on my 'short list" for a world cruiser. One had sailed around the world already and was asking just $45K (Grenada) and the other was in SF and asking $69K. The Brewer design is really some of his best work, so much room, solid, great layout, safe feeling due to the high bullworks and huge, flush foredeck. Both boats needed A LOT of work, simply because they were old boats and well used (and had iron fuel tanks which would have needed replacement). I think it would have taken a year (or more) of full-time work while the boat was on dry land to bring them back to serviceable condition - and quite possibly cost another $50-$75K each for upgrades/repairs. I bought a different design, but if one has the time and experience to tackle Brewer 46 projects, in the end they would certainly be better world cruising boats than the Catalina 42's.

More 50+ foot pilothouse ketches please 🙏

Hi, from the west coast..., of Lake St Clair. As a recently certified new sailor, I found your channel (subscribed) and I really enjoyed this series about the $xxx Sailboat. One thing I would really enjoy seeing is an episode on the perfect daysailer. As a new sailer, who wants to get out on the water for just a few hours, to a full day, I really don't want to have a whole house sailing with me. On the flip side, I don't want a dingy with just a porta-potty. Something like a "gentleman's daysailer." Thoughts?

You are definitely talking me into a Catalina. I say this as I sit on a Beneteau 31 that I sailed to Catalina Island. It’s a rental and it’s in very bad shape. Maybe 30% of the boat systems work. For a 2009 sailboat it’s depressing

Speaking of the Catalina 42, From 2014 to 2017 I moored my Catalina 350 in Marina del Rey, CA. Across the dock were two Catalina 42's. One was owned by Gerry Douglas, the designer of the boat, and most of the others in the Catalina line. The other 42 was owned by Sharon Day, Catalina's VP of sales and marketing. I think that its telling that these two would have the 42 as their personal boat out of the entire lineup.

Swans are designed for a crew- not the short handed cruiser. Did an offshore delivery on a 48 & it had 19 winches! Count ‘em- 19! The helm is specifically separated from the crew as well~ to leave the saloon and take the helm, one must belly crawl over the traveller…not something one would desire on a daily basis.

The hardware in the Mk2s is really hefty.

Part 2 please😎

The Catalina is my first choice by far.

You should cover free boats. About twice a year I'm offered boats for nothing or next to nothing. Last year it was a 40 footer in Maine and a 30 foot C&C in Boston. Storage and mooring expenses put people in a bind. They were both in good condition.

What would you peg the next 10 year depreciation on any of these boats? This is assuming all of the genera.maintenamce systems and cosmetics have been kept up and in good condition... For example, buy one of these $100k boats and in 10 years, what would be a reasonable selling price?

At this price range, since I'm not interested in going fast, nor to travel the world, but rather see some nice places, I would go for a Southerly 42+ something. Yeah, that one with that 6,000 lbs swing keel,, that can be beached. Nothing wrong with the Catalina 42 Mak II, just that the Southerly appeals better to me for $100K

Tim- I must admit a touch of disappointment that the Catalina MK II is the quintessential $100k cruiser, but- alas- you're right. It's not IF you can find say davits that work- it's which set do you like the best? I don't want one (too common?) but- it IS the answer to so many questions! 🤣

Please please please I beg you can you do part two🤗🤗🤗☺️👌🤟🤙🤙

LOL layered up more than a meal at McDonald's it must be the special sauce/ epoxy😃

Catalina's are stiff, reassuring handling boats, that I would say are the Ford of the sailing world. Owning a 2000 Catalina, (not a 42) version I can say that the 2 worst things about it are the standard Catalina sails, and the dumb swim ladder as seen with the 42. Great for reboarding, but useless for med mooring. The ladder flops on the dock and will be damaged. Later Catalina did what the French boats do and fold into the transom so you actually have a walk thru transom. Might be because in NA you don't really do Med mooring that the original design was for a sturdy reboarding ladder. In that sense it is excellent. Catalina's are on the heavier side though and I'd go for the tall rig and reaching sails. Very comfortable and fun boat.
