This boat is a dreamers reality, she's all you want and need and then some for a couple or single handed. What a great condition she's in, fantastic! If one seeks for a solid little yacht to go anywhere, and got the money, there's no reason to hesitate but to go and snap it.

Nice job on the interior with the light colored wood. Makes it appear spacious.

Wow, what a great re-fit. Very cool brother keep them coming.

WOW! That is a gem of a boat!

Love the light interior .

Nice practical sturdy ketch!

Regarding the fold down bench. "You just aren't seeing it." The reason there is a hinge at the bottom of the leg or support piece is so it can fold up and rest on the ledge made for that purpose which protrudes out from the end of the settee that the red pillow is resting against. The ledge is the exact depth as the distance from the hinge to the end of the bench support (leg). I bet you anything, that is what it is for. You can see what I'm talking about at 9:43 in the video.

Jordan have you chosen an electrical system for your van yet? Eco Flow is an incredible system. I just watched a van build out using it @ Drifter Vans. While it’s not cheap it really solves all of your electrical needs. I’m not affiliated with them at all but I was thoroughly impressed with their quality.

That's a great boat for a couple.

Sweet ride. If I had the chops and a partner, this would be right on the money. Hello Vietnam.

It is this thing with rust! Slow but in general a good boat!

Yep, great boat for great price, with the one issue of the wavy topsides that appear to be dented or wrinkled. No great flaw but for this nice boat to be dented..It would be worth fairing and painting so its straight.

Pretty Neat ,good refit built like a Sherman Tank

Nice little boat. Looks very strong, if the entire boat is steel, hull, deck and house/dog house. Love the La Vac head and very nice engine and compartment. For northern cruising the diesel stove/heater is nice. Didn’t see the tankage?? And conveniently the displacement was not shown by you or the broker. Long overhangs and short waterline combined with the mass of steel in such a small boat would make her very very slow.

Given some of the garbage I've seen for sale in the local market that's a very reasonable price for a steel boat in such good condition. You can tell she has been well loved and well maintained.

Very well laid out for use of all the space. It is the epitome of every thing in its place. I'm just a little claustifobic for that size space. For those that don't have that problem it would be ideal. My ideal would be this in a 37 footer hull.

Talcum powder fixed the squeaks on my 150 year old hardwood floors at home. Never tried it on a boat. Might be a short term fix until you get around to finding the root cause. Just a thought.

I noticed a comment in thread regarding fiberglass vs. steel. Yes, steel is more work but worth it if doing any sailing in water with debris - logs (PNW), crossing shipping lanes (containers), etc. Hit something significant once with a fiberglass boat and you’ll wish you had steel. Jason. Do you know condition of steel hull? A mild steel boat of this age with 1/8” plate could be significantly degraded, particularly in typical problem spots.

@andrewallen9993

High density polyethylene boats are best. They don't dent or break, they don't rust and they don't foul. They require no maintenance. Fun times designing and welding together though. All fittings have to be screwed or welded in as you can't glue anything to them.

Review some vans or something.

So close, yet so far away... Gorgeous boat for 40K. Obviously we'll loved. I will need just a bit more room for 4 people.

It's too small for me - but best wishes this looks like a winner for someone.

Perfect PNW inside passage boat.

I thought that was a great looking boat and the price is right.

Is it easy to buy it in Canada and import to USA, e.g. tax, registration? Any legal requirement difference, e.g. light, ...

Orca-proof rudder

Its awesome but I didnt see a price

how do you guys see where you're going in these sailboats? Is that why the stick boats have the right of way? because they can't see anything?

Noob but keen. One guy came saying its a steel 33 that would not be able to move through the water? I consider it fairly tough 0.125" mild steel with lead ballast and a deep keel. So very stable and sorta tough. Mainly good for stable mooring ? Any responses to the speed of the vessel? Wont all that sail area make a rather fast boat?

@ronaldnickell6110

11 ай бұрын

Speed is determined by hull length. Of course the amount of sail has a factor also, but hull length determines the bow wave that determines the max speed for a given hull. You can exceed this of course but at a tremendous cost to the amount of power required. Example: hull designed for 8 knots to run 11-12 knots would require nearly double the horsepower.

I'm in love with it. Broker listing says great for cove exploration. So no Atlantic crossing?

If your experience equals that boat, you got a winner. When you get outside the sight of land it's a whole different thing. One little mistake you die. sleep 10 minites too long and you die. Don't look where you place every step and you die. dISCONNECT FROM YOUR SAFETY HARNESS ON DECK AND YOU DIE. Please get a marine inspector that specializes in steel hulls and have him check the thickness for electrolisys damage. Just because it had a new coat of paint when you baught it doesnt mean it didn't sink at one time because of electrolysys damage and all that keeps her afloat is some polyester fiberglass putty. Looks pretty well rigged. I'd have shit myself to have had that back when I was sailing back in the 1970's. I had a 24' bayliner buccaneer, don't laugh. II circumnavigayed the atlantic twice in it. I had a serlf tending jib inside the frestay, double lowers and a thhird gudgeon and pintle on the rudder. Other than about 20+ sails it was stock. Oh yes, I had a gymboled stove and bunk. That gymboled bunk was awesome. When you sleep at 30 deghrees for months at a time youlll understand. I got that boat for free and I demanded the marina pay for the storage title and give me two weeks to get it ready to launh and a free launch. In fact they were so glad to get rid of it they wiped put the bill for fiberglass materials, bottom paint and zinks too. After the first Atlantic circumnavigation I was back to haul out for a complete going over and was talking to some of the employees there. when they jheRD i GOT THE BOAT FOR FREEE THEY DIDNT BELEIVE ME. tHE MANAGER LAUGHED AND SAID IM THE ONE WHO GAVE HIM THE TYITLE. lol Never had an engine.

IF YOU REALLY MUST HAVE ONE, MAKE SHURE IT IS SMALL ENOUGH TO HEAVE OVERBOARD FOR AN ANCHOR.
