    Many of the older boats from the 60s and early 70s that you talk about were designed with the CCA rating rule in mind which favored boats with overhangs and narrow beam. Many centerboard boats were not well designed to use the best attributes of the centerboard concept. My boat is a Hood 40 that has a 4ft draft with the board up and 11ft with it down. The hull has no keel, it is a "whale body" form with the high aspect ratio centerboard that drops down. Very low wetted surface so it performs well in lighter winds, and it points very high with the board down going upwind. Tacking angles in 10kts of true wind and above are about 75 degrees (yes it points about 38 degrees true wind angle). It easily points with the most modern boats of today, except the extreme high performers like TP52s and similar. Another plus of the centerboard is being able to adjust the balance of the boat in different wind conditions- when the breeze is up, we bring the board up a bit to counteract weather helm and the rudder eases up, and we take off. So centerboard boats that are well designed can be truly the best of both worlds. Every boat has their own quirks and pluses...

    Thanks for that. Bill Shaw also designed a 39 ft yawl for Pearson. It seemed to have all the features you described in the Pearson 35. I think he ended up owning one for a number of years and was seen in local races around Narragansett Bay. As you described, it was never considered “beamy” , but certainly beautiful. …it’s hard to walk away from beautiful.

    The narrower beam of classic boats is actually a major element of their seaworthiness. The small cabins on boats like Alberg 30s were actually fairly typical of yachts from the classic era, when designers were not trying to replicate a house, but rather, give sensible and usable space for comfortable cruising. Think Maurice Griffiths. The Alberg 30 was basically intended as a sort of Folkboat in which you could pull your pants on while standing in the cabin! While most modern designs do provide more living space, and are very comfortable at the dock, this comes at a steep price in terms of aesthetics (i.e., bulky, ugly cabin structures), safety (more windage and susceptibility to the effects of large seas) and seakindliness (i.e., lack of comfort where it really matters - when you're out at sea!). But then, as an Alberg 30 owner I may be biased ;). I should state, though, that my previous boat, an Aloha 32 (with the typical Mark Ellis interior of the Nonsuches), was a much larger boat, yet the cabin space far less comfortable and practical than the Alberg (unless you plan on spending a lot of time in the head!).

    more beam can carry more sail, and less beam needs less ... it's like the extremities of the design universe become somewhat subjective. what is comfortable ? are we talking side to side, or up and down ? how fast is fast? that depends on what you're used to. how fast is fast enough depends on your ability to plan ahead, until it depends on the weather....but what are we designing for here? both, one way or another.

    I think another reason that people look for 30ft-34ft boats when they're on a budget might be to stay in the smallest bracket for a Bahamas cruiser permit. If I have choice of paying $150 for a 33ft boat or $300 for a 37ft boat, I'll take the 33ft every time.

    Have a look at the interne at the Garcia Exploration 45, 52, 60. The exploration is my dream bout. A centre boarder that needs the centreboard only when you are tacking or anyway sailing high to the wind. Centreboard up she can fall dry on a beach staying sprite. I had one trip on an exploration 45, but it is out of my price range. As it is I have an 42 feet aluminium boat, one of three hulls build by S. Etheridge to a Mike Pokock design. It is very stable, good in heavy weather. It has a heavy rather thick fin keel with 600 kg lead ballast and a full skeg protecting the rudder. A very good boat for cruising. Also fast when you have enough wind. My problem with the boat is, that it is not build for shallow waters, my draft is 2.2 m.

    I'm an old Bahamas cruiser, and have been enjoying your videos ( as I sit through a long winter back ashore ). I think you do an excellent job describing the issues we come up against while cruising, both technical and weather related. And I admire your courage in tackling the real cruising dilemma - relationship issues ! Most crews are couples, learning to deal with months of constant contact ( in confined spaces ), often while in stressful conditions. It's a real challenge. Did you ever stumble upon Eileen Quinn, a folksinger( and fellow Canadian ) who wrote cruiser's music - mostly about those boat relationships ? She's great.

    Love seeing this video, Tim - I have been refitting a 74 Pearson 35 for the past few years, preparing to go cruising. They have a few drawbacks (the compression post block was originally made out of glassed-in oak, and needs replacing, the keel can take on water from the centerboard pin penetration, and there is a glass issue where the forward water tank touches the hull, especially in the earlier high-resin layups that came from inexperience in glasswork), but if resolved they’re great boats.

    there are sailing vessels that can be thought of as "no compromise" , but really, those are specialized, or more focused to design task. ( thinking like Sail GP ) but i think designers are generally always looking for the best balance of elements, by "what is most likely", and the rest is engineering for foreseeable loads.

    There is a Pearson 35 on the mooring next to mine. It is an attractive boat, but I have to say that it looks small compared to my Allied 36. My extra foot of beam makes the interior of my boat feel spacious compared to the P-35. One thing you didn't mention about centerboard boats is that they handle MUCH better with the board even partly down. That is particularly apparent when it comes to docking the boat (if there is enough depth to lower the board). On the negative side, raising and lowering the board can be a pain, particularly if you are short handed (two people). I know quite a few people with centerboard boats (a local builder built almost exclusively centerboard boats and there are lots of their boats here) and those people often simply ignore the board unless they are going to be on a particular point of sail for quite a while (miles).

    Hi Lady K Sailing. I'm really enjoying this channel. Thanks for the uploads. You invited us to make suggestions about covering other boats. I've heard you refer to trailer sailors a few times (San Juan 21, and 22 footers like Catalina, etc.) and, though I haven't viewed the video on MacGregors, I wondered why you stopped there. I own a 94 Hunter 26 (after moving from fixed keels down to a Catalina 22 and a Macgregor 26 classic with the Daggerboard) and I went out specifically looking for the Hunter 26 or newer 260 because of the increased cruising comfort. You don't get that clorax bottle feel like you do with the MacGregors. She is a bit of a tub to sail, but when the anchor is out the complaining stops. We spent the first Covid summer on her in False Creek Vancouver and entertained a lot of people in the quite spacious cockpit and I swear I can get 8 people around the galley table. Just for thoughts.

    On a Pearson 35 the keel is not full, but, "cut away" under the bow. This creates two problems. When in reverse, the wind has the most profound effect on the direction of the boat. More than any other effect (walk, rudder, prop wash). The nose of the boat will always blow down wind, no mater what you do. You need to be aware of that. Also, it has difficulty holding still when hov-to. The nose will blow down wind. You need to trim in you jib significantly to balance the boat when hov-to.

    My comment for the video is a bit late but here it goes anyways. Is this not the boat that you should be buing instead of the one that you want? The "high ass" makes a boat perform so much better at sea. If you're going down or against the wind in rough sea the ride is going to be so much smoother. The wide open sterns that are built today for comfort are just plain bad when the going gets rough. They have more floating surface aft than fore and makes the bow dive easier. With a pointy stern a bit above the waterline lets the bow go up when it needs to. And the stern does not lift when a wave hits from aft. Btw thanks for the channel. I've been sailing my whole life since before I walked. I have not owned a boat since I was 16 due to my my work schedule. But I have had the chance to borrow one every now and then. Now at 34 I finally have the time and money to get back in with my own boat. This channel made me go over the barrier to the mother of my children and just annonce that this hole in the sea is where I'm going to sink my money. And she's liked the idea😍. Thank's for the motivation speeches! Hope to see some episodes in water soon.

    The shallow draft and short mast minimize the stress on the rig. This boat likes to sail well healed over, the waterline is extended, you get a little extra speed and the excess wind spills out.

    I purchased a rare bird which I had done alot of research on. I have a 2003 Hunter 356 with bilge keels. This boat was manufactured in England and sailed all around Europe, the Mediteranian, across the Atlantic to the BVI's, east coast to the greatl lakes and I bought it and sailed back down to Florida. A great boat which tracks well with 4.5' draft. A little slow 1/2 knot or so than the normal keel.It tracks like a cat and takes high seas and wind very well. The thing that I really like is you can beach the boat in high tide and let the tide go out and it stands on it's own. I am very happy with the build quality and the cabin space. Your thoughts on these?

    How about an episode on the Corbin 39. The Corbin 39 was designed by Robert Dufour and built by Marius Corbin. The design features flush decks and ample freeboard. Production began in 1979 and continued until 1991 with about two hundred hulls produced. The design was available with either aft or centre cockpits; and either ketch or cutter or sloop rigged. The Corbin 39 proved to be an extremely good strong, safe, adaptable long distance family cruising boat and many have circumnavigated. They can be found homeported and cruising worldwide. Some are even raced, primarily for pleasure !

    Hi, here's an interesting area of sailing rarely covered - and this adjustable centreboard brought it to mind - The French tradition of fast-sailing, canal traversing, beaching capable, single-handed boats. I'm thinking specifically of the Pogo36, which by now is a comfortable (ish) live-aboard, is selling a lot of boats, and it's been clocked at 20 knots. I'm seriously considering moving onto one but I'd value your opinion. Obviously it can sail, but no insulation, barely a piece of wood, normally no bimini, etc, might make it a tough one to deal with day to day.

Numbers of boats is good and inexpensive, encapsulated modified fin, partial skeg, can get in relative skinny water, good specs on paper, solid support groups , sea kindly, easy to singlehand but best suited for two. It would be cool to see your thoughts.

    The first successful long keel centerboard type originated with the S&S designed Finisterre in the mid 1950's. Finisterre was hugely successful on the race couse and won 3 Bermuda races, 56, 58 and 60. Early C&C's such as the Corvette 31 and Frigate 36 were also long keel / centerboard type cruiser racers however the most famous example of the type has to be the Hinckley Bermuda 40. So, once again a trickle down effect from racers to cruisers.

    I have an O'day 25 with a shoal keel centerboard. The keel is heavy and encased in the fiberglass which makes it incredibly durable and stable. I am looking at O'day 30s and 31s. Have you any insight on the 30something foot Odays?

    I'll put my 2 cents in... I have a 1970 p39. It's very similar to the p35 (Shaw design). As for roominess and beam on boats this size, I think it is more reflective of the tenderness of the boat. Yeah, mine is 11.5, old CCA design, so a bit narrow and tends to heal a bit quicker, however, it then accelerates from 5.5 to 7.5 knts pretty quickly. As for "bluewater" the open interior, like the 35, lends to a bit of concern underway as one can get hurled around a bit inside. Love the cockpit though. Perhaps you should review the P365 which is their world cruiser design. More of a cramped interior but plenty of safety handholds. Like you mentioned, boats are compromise, open interior are superior at anchorage or liveaboard. But too, storage and tankage are important for cruising. And yeah, it's the "feel" of the boat for the owners. Fair winds and keep on keeping on!

    Bear in mind, these boats were built for coastal cruising. The structural issue in the forward portion of the hull is real - the largest water tank on board touches the hull there, and when partially filled, hammers on a single point. The keel water issue happens because the pivot and pin for the centerboard can leak, if not maintained- which predated Beau and Brandy. And the compression block can be soft, requiring replacement. However, for a $10k boat, these can all be fixed relatively easily. Dan and Kika have a Pearson 36, which is an entirely different design. They also rescued Uma from destruction, and their issues with the keel were likely damage done prior to purchase. They strengthened the boat, but it was damaged again when the yard moved it (9 years ago) while they were in the process of reglassing the floors; they also sail her far beyond what she was designed for, thus the current major refit they’re doing.

    Hey sure yes happy to help. I think you'll want to find one of those unicorn deals. Someone with a great bout worth about 30k that just wants to get out of sailing due to health or age. We have one such boat for sale right now. A 31 full keel for $3k. Easily a 12-15k boat but he wants it gone. I'd ask around sailing clubs. These deals don't get listed anywhere.

Also the Vega sails 6.5 knots very easily so the formula is hard to find. This brings me to should I just go around the world in my small Vega two of us ? Has anyone here in the comments been across the oceans on a vega in a cruiser couple type of way ? I’d love to get the thoughts

    I disagree about the full keel on the wind being not so good. My Glander Cay 23 had a full keel and went upwind like a rocket. That boat also had a 35 foot mast off the deck. Same for the 26 foot Pearson Ariel. In good conditions it would point at 40 degrees off of the true wind. Rig and hull shape are probably the most important factors. At tall mast on a narrow hull will make the boat go the weather even on a full keel.

    The Pearsons are pretty, but they have the one feature I utterly hate: The "Ankle breaker" galley design, with (of all things) the KITCHEN COUNTER used as a STEP and the SINK right next to where your feet go! On a lean, that is a recipe to break an ankle and ANY other time it's a recipe for all sorts of bacterial and parasitical diseases as you put your dirty feet on the kitchen counter. Just the worst thought out design feature of all time. A boat can have every other awesome feature, but if it's got an "Ankle Breaker" galley, it goes in the "No" category.

    The notion that "there are too many moving parts" in a CB design is really unfounded. If you properly maintain your boat you won't have a problem. There are thousands of CB cruising boats produced and still being sailed. What you need to watch out for in CBs are exactly the same things you watch out for in other areas of your boat - through hull fittings for pennants, corrosion on brackets and bolts esp from dissimilar metals, and hardware and line degradation. You wouldn't discount a boat because it has an engine with lots of moving parts. If shallow draft and relatively good windward performance are important to you then seriously consider a K/CB or one of the whale body designs which seem brilliant to me for a cruising boat for the reasons stated below by RM. It's a shame that consumers have moved decidedly away from proper sailing yachts in favor of floating monstrosities with the hydrodynamic attributes of barge. Similarly, if seakindliness, tracking, and durability are important then definitely consider a full keel boat - maybe even one with a CB.
