Good review. I have a 384. It has been a great boat. I have to sell her for health reasons. I can highly recommend the 384. Very solid and excellent draft for the Bahamas and Florida.

How to oversell this is how.

Boat Fools! Where was this boat refit? I have a Sea Sprite 28 and have been searching for yard to bring her into the 21st century.

I use a Jackery battery for day sailing on my small sailboats to power a few electronics, charge a phone, etc. For my needs, I find it to be a much better option than a lead acid battery. They’re very convenient and reliable and they’re great to take camping on land too. Thanks for another great video!

Looks like it's already sold

It’s possible the composting head has an electric exhaust fan, so maybe that’s what the battery pack is running (it was located next to the head). Great yacht though!

Definitely gonna add this book to my wish list. Great episode..

Great channel. Teamwork

Nice review.

Sorry, but this is a horrible boat. No room, no conveniences, can't get into the water, hard to work on, the list goes on and on. Nothing about it is practical compared to a more modern design for the same money. Just because someone has gone across an ocean doesn't mean anything. If that were the case the Beneteau's would be the "BEST" boat because probably more people have crossed in those than any other sail boats. It's an irrelevant fact. This is just plain old nostalgia. The remnants of a past time. The same thing that car lovers have for a 67 mustang... sure it's super cool, but in every way it doesn't compare to a modern mustang except the nostalgia factor. It's probably better to compare them to RV's and campers. Old Streamline campers are cool, but again, don't even remotely compare to new designs. I appreciate your reviews. You two are great salesman for sure, but these 40+ year old boats are garbage, lol. If they were so great, people would still be making them or variants of them and guess what... no one is. Canoe sterns are trash and always will be. But that's just this"fools" opinion.

Big thanks for your time and knowledge gentlemen. Excellent and informative video…very nice weekender.

Hardly any engine access except in front of

Many thanks for this good video

OK, but would you guys be comfortable to sail blue blue waters...ie, USA to Australia.....am a novice, need to understand more, but am just asking...Cheers fellas, and thanks. 👍

You lost me there. Plugging a cheap Chinese ebike, with little content . U out of focus or not good equipment it seems to

sweet boat top condition

While that particular example appears to be in good condition, Irwin Yachts developed their less than stellar reputation for a reason. It was because of their questionable build practices -- they had a reputation of poor bedding practices which eventually lead to compromised deck coring -- don't buy one without using a moisture meter everywhere. They also had a bad practice of drilling into the toe rail to mount the stanchions, which eventually lead to rot inside of the toe rail that compromised the strength of the wood and subsequently wobble in the stanchion that hold your safety lines. If you read reviews on many of the Irwin models that were produced, you will also notice a running theme they were heavy, slow, and did not point well --- often used for motor sailing with just the main raised. This is not to detract from the designer -- he was a very talented man with a great reputation as you already mentioned. The problem is that much of what his company produced was aimed at the charter trade, and subsequently was pushed out of the door. Many Irwin Yachts that are on the used market will sit and linger for months or years because of that "reputation" that you mentioned, and just that fact should be taken into account when considering the purchase of one -- eventually the time will come to move on to the next boat, and getting saddled with something that you can't move on can kill your dreams very quickly. Keep up the great work on the channel guys ... I look forward to your episode every week!!!

Show the boat to my wife she does love boats, but she gets seasick one of those lucky ones never really have gotten seasick knock on wood still have friends in Melbourne Florida so maybe I could just keep it on the East Coast or retire I’m retired so it doesn’t matter where I stay But I’m sitting on the cash. I was looking at more 20 to 25 thou but that’s a hell of a deal for $14,000. Someone’s gonna jump on it. My wife will probably go for it. I’ll fly you out there. It’ll be sold, but I’ll get a hold of you guys first before I got on plane. A

I like your channel. Here comes the "but"... I have noticed here and other times before that you use the word "new" fairly liberally. The interior upholstery does look fine, but 2020 is not really "new" anymore. Same with "a year or so ago". I hope the granola bar in Ken's pocket is new.

Don't know nuttin about the move references but I can tell you that "Magic Carpet Ride" was done but John Kay and Steppenwolf from Detroit. As for the boat the only issue for me is the lack of a refrigerator but that can be fixed with some solar a few batteries an the cooling unit. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

That price for that boat, it will sell fast.

Thank you, gents! Enjoyable. What a great value!

I've been watching for a year or so and it's nice to see your subs going up. You derseve more. I discovered your #1 secret to success - you guys have fun and it translates through the video!

She's a little beauty, thank you for the tour. Loved "Ken's Day Off", nicely done!

NEXT TIME, show some respect, and remove your footwear... knock knock, come on guys, pick it up a notch... keep yourselves laughing and finding the under $25000 market for the poor people like me. WISH I WAS THERE 😂

You guys "fit the bill" for this drunken Canadian sailor and thanks for sharing your information and experiences... 😅

Very nice boat, especially for 14k.

It does look like a well maintained boat. Mostly Farris Bueller's Day Off, with a mix of Forest Gump intertwined although with all that hair it looked a little like a Cousin It reference from the Adams Family. Finally Peewee Herman's Big Top and ET.

Very nice. Was expecting an Atomic 4 for the price, so the Diesel is a plus. It's true, that modern 26's have about the same room; but it will likely sail better and I suspect with a lot less weather helm and smoother pointing (and the price is good).

How about keeping your Ebike off the sidewalk ! ! !

I clicked on this to see the features of a 32' sailboat that is for sale for a great price but instead I saw how you guys lashed an e-bike to your boat, the cover material you want for the bike, an on-demand water heater and, where I clicked off, a bicyclec tour of some town in Maine. Bye.

Oh, that is so tempting. I'm exactly the target market: new to sailing, looking for a first boat with the trinity in good shape (motor, standing rigging, and sails). If it was on the Chesapeake I'd be driving to the marina right now to check her out. I suspect a solo trip from Maine to Maryland in the Fall is probably foolhardy for a very first boat trip. 😆

Do they still make Nantucket juice? The brand was called just Nantucket. I believe that was such good stuff.

Stay warm

Is it supposed to read fatty knees eight I speaking into my phone I do not like typing and I do like your channel outrageous looking town Huntington Beach, California and I would love to go see East Coast. My wife’s got a lot of free flying hours and we need to use them maybe she’ll just send me by myself to buy a boat Retired and I wouldn’t care where I hung out at you live in Melbourne for a while, but I wouldn’t mind taking it through the Panama Canal and back up toward Catalina Island. I know well.

Well, I’m not sailing. I’m watching you guys if that needs eight hasn’t gone anywhere yet 96° here in this part of Arizona that is a turnkey boat. I love it. Also I’ll keep watching and you might just see me this spring by a boat on the East Coast, I cannot believe the prices

Could someone tell me what an average survey cost is? Thank you..

Was that Ken's daughter or his wife?😂

I'm impressed, anyone with a bit of knowledge and knowing what they're doing could turn that boat around in a couple of months.its just good old fashioned restoration with plenty of elbow grease thrown in. If you dont mind getting stuck in , then this could be a great boat again. I reckon a husband and wife team could do this or a single guy that knows what he's doing. IMHO, it's not that big of a project , just lots of hours sanding and painting and in general just restoring the boat back up to a condition that suits the new owner. I think its a bargain..😊

Chainplate are cheap. Wait till you have to replace the engine. I had my IP29 repowered. It was $30K all in.

50 years and getting older. , He says it need some work , , Only 34 feet, It-s small

I own a Precision 23 and slip it on Mille Lacs Lake in central MN. I previously owned a MacGregor 25, with the cast iron swing keel. And an O'Day 20, which was nice. The Precision sails circles around the Mac 25, which is in the sailboat Hall of Fame, but it wasn't a bad sailor. It did tend to pound going to windward in heavier winds. It's progeny, the Mac 26S and 26D, for swing keel and dagger board respectively, are not controversial. It's the MacGregor 26 power sailor that is the controversial model, as it carries a 50hp and is basically a motor sailor. I'd never own one, but many do. I'm biased but P23 is one of the absolute best trailer sailors ever built. It's open concept interior is nothing short of awesome. No compression post to mess up the layout. It also sails extremely well. For my money, once you get up into the 19-20 foot range and beyond, they may be called trailer sailors, but for all practical purposes are not, at least if you want to sail it more than a few times per summer. Rigging, launching, retrieving and de-rigging is a pita. It's an hour each side ime. Unless you can dry sail it, you will want a slip. Otherwise it's likely the pita referenced above will mean you won't get nearly as much sailing in. So if you truly want a trailer sailor, stay under 20 ft. That Com-Pac 23 is a nice boat. I've always liked the model's lines and asthetic. But I bet my P23 outsails it, especially to windward.

I own a 71.......5000 is a deal. I've been enjoying mine since retiring 7 years ago as my summer home. Great deal.

Great find you guys. I love that all ports are opening...My one minor negative comment is, what is with the companionway ladder? It looks like it is just varnished...a slippery slope for sure. I have nonskid on mine, and still, my granddaughter slipped and fell into the cabin. The staining of the cabin sole ...I remarked on that below..

its a cute little ship but to small and to narow for serious sailors.

Never seen this 😭

Read Dana's book years ago and enjoyed it.

I would consider resell value as part of the equation also.
