Actually, step one is convincing your better half to let you buy a sail boat. 🤣
Alternative step one, better half peaces out
Your thought process and logic is unique and helpful. Your thoughtful storytelling delivery drove new thoughts and insight that emboldens me.
Tim, you’ve found a great niche, and you’re doing great!
We switched up to our 1978 Freeport 41 Ketch in 2019.
We are heading out in 2023 through the Eastern Great Lakes to the East Coast and ultimately to the Bahamas.
Our previous boat, a 1965 Columbia 33 Caribbean just arrived in the Bahamas. Her second trip. Her name is Ruby.
There are a lot of old boats that are totally ready to take you on your dreams!
Excellent Tim!! Diesel engines are the true workhorses of the engine world! I was a truck driver for 20+ years, a well maintained diesel will carry you through many hours and years.
Excellent video Tim.
Great video. Would love you to do a similar episode on boats under $20,000 for people with big ambitions, little money and a lot of elbow grease. 😊
Dont forget thinking about a offshore delivery, could save you having to pay sales tax. That’s
always GOOD.
Great video Cap. Looking forward to part 2!
Great info as always, Tim! Enjoy the vacation!
Great episode Tim!
Great video Tim! Thank you very useful.
This is a really helpful video. Thanks. Looking forward to part 2. :D
Thank you for all that u do for us
Thank you!
Nice! learned alot.
Beneteau 361 or 351 is a better choice than a 343 or 331 ,put them beside they are way larger and have crossed Oceans and gone around the world
With as many people getting into sailing because of you tube, I think step 1 should be to go sailing, take a course like ASA 101. Find out if this is something you really want to do before you drop some serious money into a boat.
great video Sir!
You ROCK!!!
Was out your way in Petrolia (with a week in Hamilton and a week in Woodstock) from the end of Apr until the beginning of Aug chasing work. Had to come back to the west coast due to some health issues. Wish I had looked you up for a beer while I was there. Oh Well, maybe I will get back out there another time soon. Hope you enjoyed your holiday and as it is getting close to the season, wishing a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and your family
Sailboats are cool 😎
Cheers to you from FRIGID Edmonton Alberta.
Great video and very good idea to close this saga "what boats can we buy in this or that bracket."
PS The question that I'm asking myself now is what will be the smallest/cheapest (model, year) production sailboat to safely cross Atlantic, sail to UK, Baltic in the right moments of the year. Or using other words what is the cheapest/smallest production sailboat that can handle 8 in the Beaufort scale without constant worry about the integrity.
Nice video
Great episode Tim. Can we look forward to a StarLink update/review soon as well? I've dialed back my boat plans to finding warm places to work from all year long, while maintaining a home in MD and will need reliable internet regardless of where I am. The thoughts of crossing the Atlantic on something less than my previous trips aboard an aircraft carrier have waned and most of my plans involve Chesapeake Bay to Bermuda, Bahamas, the Flor-i-da Keeeys 😁
Hey hey. Not a lot to say about Stalink. It just works. Seems to be the new standard in the cruising world now. Everyone has it :)
Great vid as always. At what price point would you start considering paying for the survey? I can totally see it for a 80K - 100K boat, but would you pay for one on a 10K boat for example? Thanks for your time and great content!
Hello my name is Drew, im learning about sail boats from ur videos. Im wondering is/ awhats the difference between a coastal cruiser and a ocean cruiser? Thankyou for ur time
Enjoy your channel very much. How do you feel about Shannons? I live on the Indian River so I need something with a short draft. The Shoalsailer 35 has my eye as it is 30" with less than 15 degrees of heel under sail. I think it's ideal, but the price tag... It's a Shannon.
Your view on O'Day 27 footer
Hi Tim, what you think about 41' Cheoy Lee Rhodes Reliant 1973.Beutifull boat located. Great condition. Please let me know. Thanks
The first thing you wanna look at when you're buying a boat is the motor and the entire drive line bottom and Keel condition and rudder condition after that you're looking for soft spots on the top side water intrusion Interior water damage blah blah blah... If none of that checks out then you're wasting your time even looking at rigging and sails..
I got a helms 27 1983 model for cruising love the boat love the way it feels everything about it I just can't find much information other than it's a Catalina clone built three times stronger and better I wouldn't mind hearing a video of the helms boat in the history if you don't mind
What are your rekomendesions for sailing in a more norden klimat. The world are heeting up and the Meds or Caribians are to hot. Erurpien boats preferred when you need to keep hot not cold.
I’m having trouble finding financing for a 30 plus year old boat any suggestions??
Whatever happened to ladyk gaming?was really enjoying it.
If I have to deal with insurance, no boat. Period.
Great Video. I bought a sailboat in Ontario 3 years ago. It was private sale. I was expecting a tax bill and ownership doc in the mail but nothing ever came. is that unusal ? maybe covid slowed the process down? Anyone know?
Did you send away to change the ON registration to your name?
Is yacht world sponsoring you yet? Lol
Great content, as usual. You seem to be using a filter these days that takes away your wrinkles for a moment, then adds them, then takes them away, etc. It's a bit distracting and you honestly don't need it. Just let the video roll without filters. We care about content, not a wrinkle or two on your forehead.
I like your videos BUT, an experienced sailor knows the "living room" of a sailboat is not a saloon. It is a SALON. Pronounced sa-lon, like the hairdressing salon.
Hi Tim ,great episode thanks. Do you know any sites for boat’s sales In Caribbean?
