I was the first owner of this boat. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I spent many nights in the aft cabin. She does track like an arrow! Down below, the rack above the sink was painstakingly custom crafted by my father-in-law. I’m glad to see it’s intact. She was called Cahoots. And I loved her.
No sea-dog or potted-meats, but excellent show none-the-less! Each Thursday I sit at my office desk hitting refresh over and over again on your UA-cam page waiting for the new episode to drop. Thank you for the hard work...it’s much appreciated! 🦀
Two things that change after each Q review: my top 5 favorites / sailing vocabulary. What a beauty of a boat someone is going to welcome to the family. Great work Capt.Q and Randy . Great work. Thank you !
This is the best Sail Boats for Sale (sail) listing and over all reviews and educational channel I have found on UA-cam! Getting ready to retire and return to the sea after decades of missing one of the loves of my life, with the love of my life. This channel is helping me find the boat I am looking for by listing here and helping me know what to look for elsewhere. Thanks for what you are doing for all of us. Praying for your health and happiness. God Bless you and Randy. Respectfully
yaaaaaa, Captain Q & Randay notification :) I learn a little something from each video which helps me look towards a boat I will buy someday soon, I hope! Someone forgot to put the DInty Moore in the cabinet *gasp* chuckle.. btw, From watching way too many sailing videos, you can also lock the wheel when heaving to..Thank you again for another awesome video, made my day!
Great looking boat and so large for a 32. Great shout out to Christian Williams, my OTHER favorite sailor on UA-cam. I’ve been dreaming of an Ericsson since finding his channel and watch yours for even more great ideas. You just given me other progeny to watch for! Awesome episode!
Be still my heart! I saw the Pacific Seacraft 31 designed by WIB Creelock at a boat show right around the time the first one was made, 1987. It was my dream boat! In the real world, I wasn't going to go anywhere at anytime so, that passagemaker wasn't ever a possibility. Practically, a much more spacious below, older, comfy cruiser was more what I'd consider. I had no idea Pacific Seacraft made a boat like this one. If I liked to sail solo anywhere close to as much as Christian Williams, I'd be writing a check. I did see his sail to Hawaii video long ago but, it looked like torture to me. I don't need crew to help sail, it's just a witness I need. Strange, I can be alone on land just fine but, sailing alone is a nonstarter. Thanks again for all of your videos!
Back in the day when we bought a C&C 25 for racing we had two friends who competed head to head in new, bright yellow sloops. One was an Erickson 37 while the other was a Morgan 36T. We all raced PHRF and those two boats were always way ahead battling for line honors. They traded off, so while the Morgan was good in light to moderate air, the Erickson prevailed in the heavy stuff. It was an interesting summer.
Hello Captain Q and Randy We used to live in Boston, and I worked in Salem ( not too important) but live In Malibu now ( have a Sabre 402) and we can keep our boat in the water in winter. Love your shows!
Well done! I love your work. So many great boats, and so much about naval design history. It is a joy to see and hear your interactions! You should have your own show!
I like that the head is next to the companion as then you don’t have to walk through the whole boat in your wet foulies to get to the toilet when on watch. Salt water in the main cabin is so hard to get rid of while voyaging
Nice ,Love the Inside Hull No 1 Hey , I seen Hull No 1 of a S&S 34 i think it was Up for sale the other Day , First one Into Australia Built to Loyds Standards They reckon they Used that Hull as a Mould for the others
Well I'm going to call it ,,, Captain Q is a BRAND. And so deserving with his knowledge, Truly you wear the title Old Sea Dog honorable,, Nice job Randy !
I like Amel's way of using a single sea chest with a manifold for all raw water needs. (This discounts the perforations for the log and the bow thruster.) Having a bung secured near each through hull is a must.
I was the listing seller for this boat and had I owned her for nearly ten years prior to being forced to list her. During nearly the entire time I had her she was kept in much better , near Bristol shape but unfortunately unlike the spry Captain Q -- I could not climb the ladder to get aboard her when she was on the hard (She draws near 7' of water and is a good 12-15 feet up there to do winter maintenance. ( when I purchased her I brought her up myself from a marina on the CT river to Hawthorne Cove Marina in Salem by myself -- via the Cape Cod canal. I was forced to sell her as I'm getting up there and had several back operations resulting from degenerative disk and the brite work was going to hell and the yard guys were slathering on antifouling without properly prepping it. The black showing through is the flag coat and she certainly needed a soda blasting. When Captain Q graciously decided to tour her I had by then moved to FLA -- aka God's waiting room and I had to part with her ( for a song as it were) and sadly I wasn't there to leave the traditional bottle of vino and stew for them. Could not have gotten up there anyway. Finally, she was way in there as she had spent two seasons on the hard under shrink wrap as I decided not to launch my final year in New England. HCM which has very little real estate is notorious for packing them in there as tight as possible as they have a very very nice mooring field and a top notch set of launch people. Many memories when Captain Q was standing behind 'Bounce" one of their launches-- I'm delighted to report I've been in touch with the new young couple that bought her and they have renamed her 'Altair' ( she's also a USCG documented boat BTW) I ended up sending them the Chelsea Chronometer that I had removed while looking for a new battery for it so that round spot next to the barometer on the teak bulkhead -- in gratitude they sent me my foulies and my size 12 boots and my Mustang PFD/harness and some oil lamps I had on board. I am deeply ashamed she appeared she was in such a messy state/neglected state when the Captain toured her -- but he saw she was a princess in distress and found a good new home for her.
Love this boat. A long time ago I helped crew an Erickson 32 from California to Seattle area. Great trip, terrific memories and an even better boat. Keep ‘em coming.
Despite my best efforts to suppress the reaction, your discovery of Dinty Moore onboard makes me laugh every time! My husband and I are searching for our first sailboat and missed the season last year due to analysis paralysis. Your shows have been so helpful to refine our search criteria. Thanks to you and your entire production crew (Randy).
If I think I know 20 things about an Erickson 32' into a PS , Captain Q knows 200 more things. Great insight. Your love for these boats is captured quite well by your multifaceted photographer and talented co commentator Randy. Well done guys.
As others have said. Loving the chemistry between you both. Found the sales video that you borrowed the Ericson 46 still from and you've really opened my eyes to Ericson 46s. So, the Ericson 46 is added to the Contessa 43 that is already on my radar. I'm indebted to you both. Sincere thanks guys.
@@YachtHunters Thanks for the tip Randy. I had watched a few of his videos but then gone back to sailors or cruisers sailing in warmer waters. Living in Northern Ireland, it's warm waters that I yearn for. I didn't recognise the boat, so I'll pay closer attention in future. When I've had enough sun, I will explore northern and southern latitudes, which is why I'm leaning towards the sorts of boats that you're featuring. Like others, I'm soaking up the learning opportunity like a sponge. So, huge thanks to you both :)
You are the guy im coming to,to get my boat! Im just about done and,ready for my golden years to begin.Im not afraid to put in some elbow grease and get her ready to cast off.hope to see you and randy up close and personal soon.Something like this is what i am after👍You seem to know where they are😀 Hope to see ya soon.Randy,seadog and,yourself enjoy life! Love the vids and,learn some things too.
I have to say, I really like that boat , it really seemed spacious for a 32' boat ...sadly the wife would not approve. Great fun watching this channel love it
A little bit different than designs of which I am accustomed to. I’m familiar with some of King’s major trophy designs such as his Big Ti interpretations. Also your momentary call out to Christian Williams. I love his library on board his boat. Also recollections of crewing for Ted Turner. Thanks as always.
15:55 "A good place to put um your Food, if you need to have Food on the Boat. Hmmm. Hmmm. Yep." I was thinking to put the Dog in there. Thanks for clarifying it's designed for "Food."
Another amazing video. I just bought a albin ballad 4 days ago, and i am loving it. Your videos where great when i was looking at boats, learning about different designs and stuff. Anyway, keep doing what you are doing, its great.
Capt. Q! We exchanged emails a little while ago when I asked if you were going to do a review of any Ericson sailboats. I own a Ericson 32-3 in Annapolis and was very interested in seeing the life of the 32s after Ericson went out of business that being it’s reincarnation as the PSC 333. Similar to my boat but still different. Some things I liked on it and other things I like more on my E32. All in all I found it a very interesting video.
BTW, I am disappointed that there was NO canned Dinty Moore beef stew aboard that boat! Every true sailor always has at least one can aboard. Even Christian Williams who soloed to Hawaii in his E38 (his 2nd voyage the 1st being in his E32] can be seen eating some in his video.
What a great Boat, great condition, little teak maintenance to worry about, nicely thought out design and functionality. I love it , If I was in the states I would buy it in a heart beat. get the bottom redone while its on the hard, sort out tiny issues, tune in the auto pilot and sail it back to West Australia.
I'm getting ready to splash my Ericson 35 soon. Love the Christian Williams shout out. This was so fun for me to see you review the PS 32 as it shares the lineage with the Ericson. Quality boat. I really am shocked that a boat of this pedigree was missing the Dinty Moore. I look forward to seeing you guys do some sea tests.
@@YachtHunters I have a 1985 35-3. It is a keel stepped mast and I have had the mast step repaired with all new glass. It had some compression cracks in the bilge area. It appears that everything is all good as the work looks really great. Really love what you and RanDay are doing. And appreciate your comments back!!!
PS 32 #1 EPIC!! For a budget of 50K it would be ready for the South Pacific. Being a bit OCD in that budget are new sails, thru-hulls, etc. When I saw the keel the first thought to pop in my head was .....FAST! Another great boat show Capt. Q. (sailors do not wear pink pants) Be happy, be safe.
Another great show an sailboat! So funny when I started to watch this video. It had been up for 30 mins when I finally got to finish it. It had been up 9 hour's... Thanks grandkids.... Lol!! Luv those lil dirt merchants tho!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
Christian Williams is one of my favorite UA-cam Sailors, no T&A, no soft porn poses designed to drive clicks, just sailing enjoyment and education. Captain Q is becoming one of my favorites as well, even though no actual sailing is involved, yet. Cap'n, this is a remarkable little boat, it really is a 40' packed into 32'. There is so much to love about this boat and the heritage of a Pacific Seacraft, it will sell quickly at this price. I am usually hard on boat design but this one ticks so many boxes for perfection.
I noticed there was a can of something missing in the galley as well as a bottle of something . Not to mention names. Overall it was a perfect presentation as usual and my personal favorite was the fridge below the chart table. I was wondering how far that location was from a favorite place I knew growing up , Salsberry beach and Hampton beach. Use to be little carnivals in the area back in the 60s. Happy trails.
Always interesting to watch your reviews . This boat seems to have it all and can’t wait to get back in the water where it belongs. I somehow feel like it’s up for just about any adventure 👍
Another amazing deal! $33k for a 1997 is much less than a similar vintage Catalina 320. Catalina produces great boats, Pacific Seacraft makes exceptional boats. These are sweet sailing too. I had an Ericson 27 and and Ericson 38..love both of them in SF Bay. Very seaworthy and stiff. With just a little TLC (2 weekends?) she would come up like new. If I was on the East Coast I'd snap this one up. Amazing!
Love the layout. I think the quarter head is the way to go for cruisers of this length. A forward head simply eats up too much valuable real estate. You lose a small quarter berth. Big deal!!! It also means the midwatch doesn't have to stumble through the entire boat to take a leak, waking up everyone.
Where was the DINTY MOORE? Great vid- this one will go fast....er uh maybe its still avail in Sept 2021--it will deffo be on my list of prospects. Thanks guys for the review! (deffo =definitely) and Instagram is NOT a place! lol
@@YachtHunters I WANT WANT WANT this boat! Hope she's around in Sept. Looks like a little blasting, painting change the name and hit the blue water! This boat may go to Hawaii too, just like Christian's. :) Keep on truckin' Capt, Q!
How many of those "boats on stilts hoping to be loved again" do they have in that boatyard? Are they all for sale? If they are, you may need to make another visit!
You might check with a transport broker and see what they would charge to haul it. We've heard some of the rates are quite good for cross-country.... could be worth it.... or not :)
We hope to take a trip up to the school... there are several great ones in the area... we did review a Nordhavn a few weeks back and have a motor sailer coming up
For an east coast boat that yanmar was super clean! From the Hudson Valley to Long Island Sound to Buzzards Bay to Boston, the owners are terrible with engine maintenance(especially Catalina owners)....I've seen 10 year old Yanmar's looking like rusted relics. ;)
On my shopping trips, I’m constantly on the lookout for Dinty Moore stew....I will say the best meal I’ve ever had was when the cook on the little Ensenada Race handed up to me a paper plate of Costco Lasagna and green salad, while the sun was setting , red and orange, and the ocean was “glassing off”, down south, off of Baja,, on a 43 footer.... Skipper said, “It doesn’t get any better than this...”. 30 years later, turns out he was right....
Nice boat and price. I can see myself at the helm of this one... oh wait, I’ve thought that about most of the boats you’ve featured. I either have a boat addiction or you’re doing a great job of showing the boats! My wife would agree on the addiction, I believe it’s both. 😆
@@YachtHunters thank you kind sir. My grandson watched with me this evening and I hope to impart to him a love of a proper boat. Can't wait to see more of the season this summer.
HI Captain Why did you say if you were younger you would buy it? Do you think the boat would be too much for us older dudes to handle? In the comments someone mentioned bolt on keels have a tendency to fall off.Is this so or that may happen if you do not maintain it the bolts would somehow loosen off then there goes the keel
Maintenance on anything manmade is essential . there have been boats that have keel issues most of which were as i understand it caused by workmanship but not endemic like a million recalls of car airbags. If there was truly a universal problem there would be more press and fewer boats built with them . but you can't drive a 40' fin keel boat onto a ledge without expecting a need to haul and check her out As for the age question , at my age the bigger the boat,to a point, it will be easier for me to handle ..just easier to move about on the deck and and more room below ...now if the latest diet works i might make a little variation !!
I was the first owner of this boat. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I spent many nights in the aft cabin. She does track like an arrow!
Down below, the rack above the sink was painstakingly custom crafted by my father-in-law. I’m glad to see it’s intact.
She was called Cahoots. And I loved her.

We were as well!! Quite a shocker not to find it ;)
Best layout of 32 feet I've seen yet.
agreed... a lot packed into that space!
Back in the day when we bought a C&C 25 for racing we had two friends who competed head to head in new, bright yellow sloops. One was an Erickson 37 while the other was a Morgan 36T.

Hello Captain Q and Randy
We used to live in Boston, and I worked in Salem ( not too important) but live In Malibu now ( have a Sabre 402) and we can keep our boat in the water in winter. Love your shows!
Well done! I love your work. So many great boats, and so much about naval design history. It is a joy to see and hear your interactions! You should have your own show!
Thumbs up for the shout out for Christian Williams, a superb narrator and his books are great too.
It would be cool if you did a video discussing your sailing experiences, or even a video where you go sailing!
we hope to and thank you for the thought
I like that the head is next to the companion as then you don’t have to walk through the whole boat in your wet foulies to get to the toilet when on watch. Salt water in the main cabin is so hard to get rid of while voyaging
Man, PS made such nice boats. I really liked this one. Funny, but the 1/4 berth almost seemed more roomy than the v-berth.
I think it’s configuration was better. And maybe a few more square inches as well. Quite cozy
That is a SWEET boat. My wife has her heart set on a 37, but this could very well do. Thanks for featuring it.
Had a crappy day? Get in front of the computer and a couple of episodes of Captain Q with a rum or two and everything feels better. Many thanks Gents.
keep it to two ...please
Nice ,Love the Inside Hull No 1 Hey , I seen Hull No 1 of a S&S 34 i think it was Up for sale the other Day , First one Into Australia Built to Loyds Standards They reckon they Used that Hull as a Mould for the others
OK OK Capt.Q ! I did it, I'm a patron, I could not deal with the fact that I saw no Dinty Moore in a locker, so I signed up...
Well I'm going to call it ,,, Captain Q is a BRAND. And so deserving with his knowledge, Truly you wear the title Old Sea Dog honorable,, Nice job Randy !
Thats a NICE boat!!, and of course the Cap selling the sizzle not the steak. Good upload.
I like Amel's way of using a single sea chest with a manifold for all raw water needs. (This discounts the perforations for the log and the bow thruster.) Having a bung secured near each through hull is a must.

There is so much to love about this boat and the heritage of a Pacific Seacraft, it will sell quickly at this price. I am usually hard on boat design but this one ticks so many boxes for perfection.
We are chomping at the bit to get to sea and we are due to have a real splash down verrrry soon
Thanks for your note
@@YachtHunters I bet you are. What I really want is a tour of PB as this is more inline with we are looking for.
Ahoy Capt.Q and Randy . How about doing a Biography about the life and experiences of Capt. Q !!??!!
someday
Surprising interior design especially the aft 3/4 berth, engine bay and head.
pretty cool
This layout works for solo needs and enough offshore ability. . Is there a similar boat but trailerable? Is a Catalina 30 the next. best option?
I noticed there was a can of something missing in the galley as well as a bottle of something . Not to mention names. Overall it was a perfect presentation as usual and my personal favorite was the fridge below the chart table. I was wondering how far that location was from a favorite place I knew growing up , Salsberry beach and Hampton beach. Use to be little carnivals in the area back in the 60s. Happy trails.
definitely some missing gear of some kind.... bit of a shocker...😆 we were about 45 min drive from Hampton Beach...
Very nice boat. A lot of similarity to our Pearson 33.
That's a lovely yacht, if it was in my area (South East Asia) if be a buyer in a heart beat.
Keep up the good work. I learn so much watching your reviews. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another great video and quite a sweet boat ⛵️⛵️😘
thanks, Kathleen... good to have you back! :)
Always interesting to watch your reviews . This boat seems to have it all and can’t wait to get back in the water where it belongs. I somehow feel like it’s up for just about any adventure 👍
I really liked this boat. Kinda took me by surprise. Thanks again guys!
yes, quite a nice surprise once you get inside
Bit nervous of you maybe slipping and tumbling over the side at 10:09, Cap'n Q - please be careful!
Another amazing deal! $33k for a 1997 is much less than a similar vintage Catalina 320. Catalina produces great boats, Pacific Seacraft makes exceptional boats. These are sweet sailing too. I had an Ericson 27 and and Ericson 38..love both of them in SF Bay. Very seaworthy and stiff. With just a little TLC (2 weekends?) she would come up like new. If I was on the East Coast I'd snap this one up. Amazing!
Those are validating words from an Ericson guru! thank you
Love the layout. I think the quarter head is the way to go for cruisers of this length. A forward head simply eats up too much valuable real estate. You lose a small quarter berth. Big deal!!! It also means the midwatch doesn't have to stumble through the entire boat to take a leak, waking up everyone.
0:10 In the San Francisco Bay Area, for the last 2 days we've had a high of 80 Degrees F with clear skies and a 5mph wind from the Ocean.
Please send some of that weather to the mid west ! It snow here last night ....thank God it's disappeared. 👍👍⛵⛵⚓⚓🌬🌬🌬
we'd take a little taste of that right about now.... it can't come soon enough
Such a nice boat, great layout for its size.
Where was the DINTY MOORE? Great vid- this one will go fast....er uh maybe its still avail in Sept 2021--it will deffo be on my list of prospects. Thanks guys for the review! (deffo =definitely) and Instagram is NOT a place! lol
Yes, the DM was shockingly absent... as were the bubbles!! thanks for watching
@@YachtHunters I WANT WANT WANT this boat! Hope she's around in Sept. Looks like a little blasting, painting change the name and hit the blue water! This boat may go to Hawaii too, just like Christian's. :) Keep on truckin' Capt, Q!
How many of those "boats on stilts hoping to be loved again" do they have in that boatyard? Are they all for sale?
If they are, you may need to make another visit!
You guys are the best. Please keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
I want this boat!! Unfortunately I'm in "not so golden California ".
Thanks Q crew.
You might check with a transport broker and see what they would charge to haul it. We've heard some of the rates are quite good for cross-country.... could be worth it.... or not :)
@@YachtHunters
:) Thanks for the response Capt. Q.
I think Randy forgot the Dinty Moore. That's a hell of a nice 32', very roomy, easy weekender and I love the rear half-birth
someone forgot it.... or forgot to stock the boat properly 😄
Another little gem. I felt sure there was some food in that cupboard...
sorry these boats are not all perfect !
I think the extension ladder was backwards before you climbed into the boat. I hope you turned it over if you had to. Love you channel!!!
sometimes its so cold on these shoots we don't know what's backwards or even upside down
@@YachtHunters I appreciate your perseverance!!!
More boats this size please. Love it!
Coming up
Went there some trials held there a long time ago
If it had a full keel, it be a purchase. Know the Pacific Seacraft were built for speed however I'm old and slow. Would like the stability.
Man, that console and wheel would drive me crazy in a cockpit that small.
Bonus points for the Christian Williams reference! I hope you didn’t go hungry, or thirsty, with the Dinty Moore fairy being on strike...
that's not a real problem for the captain....but Ran Day : another question :-)
how about a Stink Pot or two. You could go see the Maine Wooden Boat School? Love your show. I don't what Insaham is either.
We hope to take a trip up to the school... there are several great ones in the area... we did review a Nordhavn a few weeks back and have a motor sailer coming up
Great lay out on this boat.
It's been in the 90's the last couple days !
Captain Q to the rescue with the homemade shiskabob pointer.
have to be handy on board and creative when need be hahaha
For an east coast boat that yanmar was super clean! From the Hudson Valley to Long Island Sound to Buzzards Bay to Boston, the owners are terrible with engine maintenance(especially Catalina owners)....I've seen 10 year old Yanmar's looking like rusted relics. ;)
Interesting. Thank you for pitching in
@@YachtHunters I know, those were fight'n words and stirring the pot for some angry sailor comments.
On my shopping trips, I’m constantly on the lookout for Dinty Moore stew....I will say the best meal I’ve ever had was when the cook on the little Ensenada Race handed up to me a paper plate of Costco Lasagna and green salad, while the sun was setting , red and orange, and the ocean was “glassing off”, down south, off of Baja,, on a 43 footer.... Skipper said, “It doesn’t get any better than this...”. 30 years later, turns out he was right....
Ain’t it grand
Hello Captain Q have you considered writing a book in regards to sailing or buying sailboats
No, too many others more knowledgeable than I have done that I feel
But I am flattered
Is this hull related to the endeavor 32? I thought I recalled a relation to Erickson? My dad had the endeavor 32 ((the one we took to Bermuda twice)
They move molds around so much you never know but I think it’s only Eticson /pac sea
Nice boat and price. I can see myself at the helm of this one... oh wait, I’ve thought that about most of the boats you’ve featured. I either have a boat addiction or you’re doing a great job of showing the boats! My wife would agree on the addiction, I believe it’s both. 😆
My thoughts exactly this is one addiction it is ok to share:-)
Please do a motorsailor like a Nauticat!
Ok
Thats my kind of boat Captain Q Perfect
she's a very cool boat... take her wherever you want!
Keep the reviews coming. Great info
Thanks, will do!
How about searching for a Sabre sailboat since they are made in Maine.
that is definitely on our list
thank you good Captain and Ran-Day, great review, one question (before I edit) would she pound heading into a sea?
Good question! i dont see her doing that
@@YachtHunters thank you kind sir. My grandson watched with me this evening and I hope to impart to him a love of a proper boat. Can't wait to see more of the season this summer.
Lol, I love that the Dinty Moore doesn’t always get around.
Keep the viewers glued to the screen lol
HI Captain Why did you say if you were younger you would buy it? Do you think the boat would be too much for us older dudes to handle? In the comments someone mentioned bolt on keels have a tendency to fall off.Is this so or that may happen if you do not maintain it the bolts would somehow loosen off then there goes the keel
Maintenance on anything manmade is essential . there have been boats that have keel issues most of which were as i understand it caused by workmanship but not endemic like a million recalls of car airbags. If there was truly a universal problem there would be more press and fewer boats built with them . but you can't drive a 40' fin keel boat onto a ledge without expecting a need to haul and check her out
As for the age question , at my age the bigger the boat,to a point, it will be easier for me to handle ..just easier to move about on the deck and and more room below ...now if the latest diet works i might make a little variation !!
