    To reproduce the build quality of this boat today, I guess would cost somewhere around $2M if it were even possible, I have 47' just like this one, and the craftsmanship is awesome, the detail in the joinery you don't see today and probably took the builders many months to create. In the 10 years I have sailed her, I never worried about safety. She takes the waves like a champ, and I'd feel confident to sail her almost anywhere, Sailing choices is always about compromise, but you have to compromise very little when sailing this ketch. I hope whoever buys her will appreciate the beauty of this 20 ton, full keel sailing vessel. On Facebook there's a Vagabond users group - lots of great information is there.

    A little late to the ball but I'd like to commend you on your presentation and nicely organized tour. I've always loved the vagabonds, solid seaworthy vessels and dripping in teak and character! I passed on a 47 that had a soft deck (retained the original teak) and she needed a new sheet set too. I'm sure Jade Dragon is plying the seas with a happy new owner, fair winds.

    I knew a couple that owned a Hans 41 they hired most of the upkeep out and it cost tens of thousands of dollars. they re-powered her and had to dismantle the galley and cabin entrance to crane in and out the engine, a colossal task. these are breathtaking ships to behold but require infinite ability and suitcases full of money to properly keep up.

    When i look at boats that are for sale on youtube. (particularly sailboats, as i am in the market),,,,,,,The seller never ever puts the price up for people to see. This is a completely wasted effort for the seller. I have just been to another brokers site and all i have found is two boats for sale and a million with "SOLD" splashed across the advert and they were all motorised speed type boats. For gods sake can you brokers get a grip, us that are in the market, particularly me !!!!!! am getting a bit pissed off with chasing fresh air. And if the boat is no longer on the market,,,,for gods sake get rid of the bloody vid or the advert, this too pisses me off.

      Hello James. I am not a broker. I'm a sailboat enthusiast and do these videos for informational purposes only. On occasion, the boats I do tours on are also listed for sale by the owner or broker, in which case I'll put a link in the description to the seller. I want these tours to be "evergreen" so putting a price or sales info in the actual video would not make sense as prices can change and the sales status of the boat can also change. Hope you understand.

    FYI: New owner here. It was a surprise. I was doing some research on HCs and came across this video. I had not seen it as it was published four days after I purchased her. As for the blistering, she had extensive blistering below the waterline as well. I knew this when I purchased her. I realize now just how wet the boat was. She had not been hauled for almost ten years. The previous owners experienced leaking water tanks and a leaky water heater. The blisters below the waterline are the typical osmosis blisters. The blisters above the waterline are a different animal and only go as deep as the gel coat where the osmosis blisters went as deep as three layers if glass. The gel coat blisters are concentrated along the faux plank line details. It was explained to me they used a faring compound where the glass did not take the detail of the mould. The compound was the problem. I had her hauled and spent a good amount of money to catch up on the blisters. The hull was stripped down to the glass and each blister big and small was ground out reglassed and faired. Probably close to 1000 blisters. I'm sure I will have more blisters down the line but manageable now. They are not structural.
