IMPORTANT! Dear Friends, we got a lot of questions about buying an 1€ Boat. Listen: THE BOATYARDS DO NOT HAVE ANY 1 € BOATS FOR SALE!!! You cant just call there and ask for a 1€ boat to buy. This is not how it works. Evrywhere in the world you have to walk the boatyard, find a boat and go to the office and ask if the Boat is for sale. Than you can give an offer. The yard will than contact the owner of the boat and if you are lucky you will find a cheap Boat. A 1€ Boat is hard to find. If you are lucky you will get one, but it is always the decission of the owner of the boat, not the decission of a boatyard!
SO DO NOT CALL THE BOATYARD FOR 1 € BOATS WITHOUT HAVING BEEN THERE BEFORE IN PERSON!
at 10:00 those pipes are keel coolers. Run your engine coolant thru them and you don't need for it to suck in any seawater and have heat exchangers.
thanks
We bought one of those ‘rust in peace’ steel ones 😂😂 like that name! Renovating steel is proving to be a long difficult road, but we believe worth it in the end as no itchy fibreglass to deal with and much stronger & resilient 💪 time will tell I guess.
The pipes running down the side of the hull, as a guess is a way of water cooling the motor. It will act like a radiator transferring the hot coolant of the engine to the water around the boat.
Or hydraulic bow thruster?
@jonscott8586 I didn't see any bow thruster. I've seen a few boats use this method for cooling though. It makes sense if not a bit precarious having that sort of system exposed
How can these guys not know that??
We are pilots not seafarer ... yet ;)
All some of those boats need is someone with enough years ahead of them, enough energy and enough money and they will be in for a great adventure filled with blood sweat and tears with a little joy in between.
energy, money and love of course
Looks like DeNiro on the right at the start!
Not De Niro
Blank
And of course not Robert but Albert
Blank, Albert Blank, like some English guy used to say in his movies
I was thinking the same thing
Blank, Captain Blank harrrrr
Show me a dream and I'll show you a man crazy enough to own it.
we are crazy enough for that
Wow, I wanted to see the dbl ender schooner sitting next to the salvage keel near the start of the yard tour :)
Great idea.😆
Thanks so much for all your comments and subscribing to the channel. The adventure will go on. In the next episode I will show you our choosen "ladies" with some price tags on them ;) - in part 3 we will go to to boat dump yard and in part 4 to some marinas where we found really nice still floating "diamonds". So stay tuned, subscribe and comment to make your voice heard. Cheers from the Sailing Pilots.
Is this where Seabird is too, right?
sorry we were wrong with the names of the boatyard, Seabird is not in the same yard we were looking for boats.
The pipe is a low tech heat exchanger.
right, thank you
I'm a sniveling old cigar like you. I would fit in as the third among you.
For years I have wanted to find a cruiser over forty feet at an affordable price. It wouldn't hurt to work on it either.
I just hunt and hunt... every year I find one or two remarkable ships.
My experience is that if you find a yacht worth almost zero and show interest in it, it is immediately valued at tens of thousands of € and thus no longer profitable. And meanwhile life goes on...
So I don't think you will get anything good either.
We will get one we will love to refit and sail it around the world. There are lots aboandoned ships out there, worth to bring the to the sea again.
@@sailingpilots If you happen to find more, please think of me.
10:11 The ship has a single round cooling system.
The cooling liquid of this internal circuit is circulated in a closed pipe system that also runs outside the hull. During this time, the seawater outside takes over the engine's heat. The same single-circuit system is usually found in lifeboats as well.
Simple but great (just might be vulnerable).
I have one more idea: I have thought many times that the boatyard wants to earn the boat storage fee. The abandoned renovation is probably visible because the owner has changed his mind and is no longer willing to invest more in his boat. On the other hand, the boatyards want to sell these abandoned ships in such a way that the unpaid storage fee is returned to them as much as possible. I will continue...
The Kray twins
the pipe is engine cooling ,
Typical Dutch design or for fishing trawlers .. no blocked water pumps or overheated engine due to intake blockages.
The wooden Cat was a Smaller Wharram type ...
The real problem.is the GRP boats .. the hulls are damaging as they break down .
A gigger Wharram will be refittet here right now www.youtube.com/@WildlingSailing/videos
Are there any boat breakers there selling the parts? I know in the UK, at least one company in the Portsmouth area who are breaking the abandoned boats for spares. I need some newer Lewmar winches for my 1982 Koopmans :)
There are also a boat graveyards where you can get parts for cheap
What was the boat at 19:05 ?
We dont know yet. The office was closed as we were there at the weekend.
16:00 One Euro? I call BS There is $10 K of winches and stuff right there. And 8:25 would be my choice, I"ll even pay 10 Euro
We call it winning in a lottery, and the chances to win in a boat yard are much better than in lottery.
Awesome video. Why are these boats not being sailed?
not advertised?
Abandoned, derelict boats are EVERYWHERE!!! Some are free, some are cheap, all depend on how much work YOU want to do.
Just curious, why are you specifically looking for a steel boat?… Rust you can’t see is going to be a part of every single one you look at.
It will be no steel boat for sure, we just wanted to look at them and see its not worth to refit this old rusty ladies.
Many are abondoned. Maybe the owner died or just left it to rott or is not interessted in sailing anymore.
@@sailingpilots unfortunately a ton of boats suffer that same fate... Many are very worthy of being refitted and sailed again but will never get there. Many are really nice under all of that dirt and grime. My current boat is a "semi" abandoned boat well on its way to being a derelict boat, new running rigging and a couple of other things and it sails again. I wouldn't cross oceans in it, but as a live aboard, it's fantastic.
Weld over it and sail for some years.
Dont forget the paint and 5200 ;)
Refitting needs a lot of money and time even when you can do most of the work yourself. There is no market at all for these boats as the tot. Value after refitting will exceed manny times the economic value .
Boats are always money pits. We will do it not for saving it but for the love of having an old "pot" back floating - and bringing us old men to the sea, too.
Their was an Alubat there worth a look at, I don’t think it would be a €1 boat if so let me know I will come and buy it, I think I saw a Najad too, I will have that for €1 also
saw x2 ohk?
you never know, always ask some are happy to get the boat away as fast as possible. We have had offers from boat owners to give us money for if we take over his old boat. If you have to pay about €4000 every year for having it on the hard, in 3 years you pay €12000 plus travel expenses etc. Disposing of a boat costs a lot of money, and some people are happy to pay you to "dispose" it, so to speak. So they got the boat, the problems and the worries away.
Hmmm...
Why not, but never any steel boat
Shame there are no prices with them...
some have price tags. We will show in the next episode.
@@sailingpilots am looking for a fixer upper hence why i am so intrested.
But i have NO IDEA how to even start looking for these.
Which is a blame on me as i grew up at and on the sea....
:s
@@user-mw3ht5kp2p we also looked on the internet and on broker websites first. Then we got a tip from an old experienced boat builder and since then we've only been looking at boatyards.
Watch the video, Walter Schulz from Shannon Yachts explains the best way to do it.

@@sailingpilots I just got a email back from port napoleon and they say This is not at their place.
:(
@@user-mw3ht5kp2p THE BOATYARDS DO NOT HAVE ANY 1 € BOATS FOR SALE!!! You cant just call there and ask for a 1€ boat to buy.
Looks like you spent most of your time looking at and photographing the worst boats in the yard. 🤣🤣🤣
It will become much better at the boat graveyard 🤣🤣🤣
