$18K for a boat this solid isn't crazy at all. Maybe you could have negotiated the price down some, but if it came re-powered with that diesel (I'm pretty sure they all originally came with Atomic 4's) and the other gear you've shown us, I'd say that you have done well. Spending $200K for a new Beneteau 30, now *that's* crazy. And ask yourself which boat you'd rather be in if you get caught out in a gale.

I agree, Buuuuut, if you are not in a hurry to buy you can shop. and by that I mean wait for the one. it will come and you will save enough to do whatever you want to it. I shopped for my first boat for 6-7 years and ended up paying 2000 for a 30' with a 27 hp diesel, $2000 Honda 10 hp outboard, and really good interior. needs 2 patches on the main and I got a new battery, but C'mon... I was rewarded for my patience. take as much time as it takes. Never impulse buy, wait for it!

I am agree,the price is about right,the boat was ready to go in the sea,certainly there are cheaper but usually you have to invest a lot of time,labour and money to make it sea worthy

It’s definitely a solid hull, with the right maintenance it will last another 25-30 years. Great for long weekends or week long trips

Dan, thank you for your most excellent & and informative videos about the various sail boats & the sailing life that I would like to learn. I was very impressed with your videos & the Benetau 40 CC from the Med. That one B/C of the most excellent kitchen layout & all the other ammenaties & innovations. I'm a retired ER Doc & musician and I did some sailing back in 1970 around Catalina Island when I was 17 and more recently in an 18' Prindle Catamaran from Punta Vedra & Jacksonville FL and in the lakes in Texas but I never had the chance to spend time with a great sailing mentor as crew where I could learn the practical details of weather & navigation instruments or how to record videos or edit them, etc. I've done a lot of schooling in medicine and I'm pretty good at repairing things that break. I would like to be a patron & crew with someone like you & learn everything you could teach me in 2 weeks or a month or more if the opportunity ever presented. Great job. Dave

Looks pretty on the water, unlike a lot of the more modern sneaker sho style inspired vessels. Looks similar to the UK Westerly range from same period.

Many of the 45 -50 yr old boats are layed up thicker than the newer hulls. When oil prices shot up in the late 70's many manufacturers skimped on the hull thicknesses.

I love the boat, the interview and the character who owns it. His boat looks like it's lived in and a very practical setup. Great stuff

Cheers James. No idea and probably not again. :)

that is a nice boat. However, what I do not like about most 30 ft. sailboat interiors is that too much space is given to the salon and not enough to the head and hanging locker (or other storage) A live-aboard needs a more spacious head, and, perhaps, a larger galley. It does not need six foot berths in the salon.

You should try living in a Jeep off-road backcountry a 30 ft boat is like living in a massive RV to me. Great video definitely learning a lot watching you.

I mean no offense, but I have to say this is some real old school sailing, but certainly not old enough to mean good school. Good school would be much simpler, much lighter, much shallower draft, more hulls, fewer complications, self built, easily repairable, less expensive to maintain, faster, more versatile, unsinkable, and way way way more elegant. Something much like my boat, for example.
