I really think you are CRAZY!!! All of these options are way above the price point of a normal person. Try to keep the tope end under 20K ... Then you might have a discussion :)
I downsized to an O'day Mariner, 19 ft. Fraction rig, over 8 ft cockpit, small lockable cabin. It sails very well. Over 4000 built, and still in production.
I really liked the Baycruiser, both the slightly old style look of the hull and some of the interior design choices too - that stowable galley was a great idea. I'd never buy a new boat, but would be interested to see how the used market looks for this one.
Cheeky if not just rude.- You have used a photo of a couple on a Domani S30 sportyacht daysailer as click bait without a single mention of them in video?!
It is a pity that Beneteau abandoned the First 21.7/Twenty series boats as these were much more affordable. Plenty of second hand out there, of course, but the new Seascape/First series are quite expensive and IMHO are really for the race market. Interesting you chose the Swallow Yachts 26 over their Coast 250 which seems a more attractive boat yet shares many of the ideas. Interesting video.
That Baycruiser was an unknown to me and put a smile on my face by its stunning interior and some good ideas. My heart goes to the Seascape - First 24 type of boats, but First 24 or 27, if great sailing fun, still are weekenders at about 100 000 - 130 000€ complete. That's a lot of money for a daysailer. Most new racy cabin boats (mostly French? German or from the Balcan area) are bloody expensive these days. The price of small serie production or the trend and marketing??? Shame the Polish boats are never really tested or compared (they are almost always tested on lakes at 2Bft...) as they seem to be the only real cost limiting alternative.
Well, well, well... Just found your channel today because of the title re the top 5 over $500K which I enjoyed very much. Next I went to check out your list of videos and found this topic interesting, yet never thought of before! Now you have me contemplating my need for two sailboats!!! One for local outings on Lake Michigan and one for outings on the oceans... Enjoyed finding you! : )
Wow! Many years ago I purchased a 19'Potter w/6h.p.outboard & trl. for $6k and sailed it for 12 yrs. Sold it for $4500. Great boat but not for today's price.
It's incredible how boat prices have evolved over the years. The sailing experience on a Potter sounds like a lot of fun. With today's market, what do you think would be a reasonable price for a similar sailing package, considering your past experience?
That same boat being a fresh water boat , 9.8 Evinrude.and trailer might be worth 8k today. They are pretty rare in the Northeast. I purchased a 17' slipper w/ fixed keel and trailer 4 years ago for $2500 another freshwater boat in excellent condition. The cockpit is longer than the 19 Potter and no dagger board in the cabin. The Vberth headroom is very tight (kids only) but the quarter berths are the same as the Potter. Have not sailed it yet.
Nice video but pricing is way off. The Swallow Yachts Bay Cruiser 26 starts at over 100k USD before any options. Video suggests it cost well below 80k and is off by about 75%.
Very nice boats indeed, however, most regular folks (not in the 1%) will these to be pretty and nice but, little more. These boats are for folks with large amounts of disposable income.
A new Flying Scot will start at around $30,000, and even as a FS enthusiast I can agree that is kind of a ridiculous price to pay for a boat you can't sleep aboard and which doesn't come with any auxiliary motor. But a *used* Flying Scot can also usually be found for a much more reasonable price, and they're sturdy enough to still be safe and fun. Maybe a follow-up video on how to find a good used daysailer is in order?
Maybe I'm missing something, what is the boat at 8:28? I remember a Dutch sailboat like this one, having a mizzenmast, not sure if it's silly or brilliant, but unlike most boats this size.
Nice review but I would only chose one on the list, the Voyager 20, which is not in production due to a Chinese co destroying the company. The potter designer and previous company owner created a new company called Ventura Sport Boats, they build the Malbec 18 and a new boat at 23 ft. The rest of the boats on your list I would hardly call trailer-ables, that is boats that are light and easy to launch. As for the Scott and RS boat, there are a lot more boats in that category. Hobie Cat has great beach cats and sailing trimaran kayak (Tandem Island).
I don't think you understand what is considered affordable. Maybe for middle/upper middle class and up but that is a lot of money for just a small day sailor. I've seen nice 35 to 41 foot sailboats that are under 30K and only need minor cosmetic work, but 30K for a 20 foot dingey is ridiculous. Next time try 5 to max 10K, that's affordable!
It sounds like finding affordable sailboats or daysailers in Portugal can be a bit challenging. The Revel kit might be a more budget-friendly option at €100K. Are you actively searching for a sailboat, or is this more of an observation about the current market in Portugal?
Gracias por el video. En mi opinion hasta 18 pies es traileable. Deberia haber un ranking de veleros trailebles para crucero considerando estabilidad y comodidades. Y tambien considerar si es uso en aguas abiertas o lagos. Saludos
have x-north sea from Norway -bear eaylen -jan mayen -island then around england before back to norway 6328 n.mil in an 18feet boat , have x Atlantic both way in 20 feet , and listning to Sven lundin (yrwin )you see him in you tube what hee wrigth abaout small seilingboats
only two listed here are day sailers the Flying Sidewalk the oldest still in production day sailer the Thistle beats it by a few years the Lighting beats it by a good 30 years
Its never good value buying a brand new yacht or day sailor. Used, 2nd or even better 3rd hand is much better. You usually get lots of extras and any design faults are usually ironed out or improved. You can always save 1000s of dollars or pounds sterling.
That’s actually a pretty solid piece of advice. Although it may no longer have a factory warranty, some sellers still provide free servicing depending on the unit and location.
The Dana 24 is indeed a classic and well-regarded choice for small daysailers. What specific aspects or features of the Dana 24 make it stand out as the peak option for you?
@@HarbourMastersTV i lived on one for a summer (it was kept in doc). It does more than a few things right. It just found the balance in not trying to create a forward bedroom, and doesn't feel slummy either. It also has a cousin version, the pacific seacraft 31, 100% the same layout, but with a second bed tucked in the aft. The only thing that keeps it from being perfect would be a smarter head, maybe even allowing a separate shower or some way of sectioning off the sink area with a hard surface. Its what drives me crazy about smaller sail boats, i don't want everything getting wet when i shower. If they pulled that off, i would consider it the perfect pocket cruiser.
Thanks. Yet understand salvage yards are less. Price. The. Question why does. The. Price always. Keep. Children. Off. The. Boat . The. Ownership..doesn't come with stress. No stores. Along the.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand your concerns about the cost of boat ownership and how it can sometimes deter people, especially when considering salvage yards as a more affordable option. The absence of stores along the sea can add logistical challenges. However, many boat owners find great joy and fulfillment in the boating experience, as it offers a unique connection to nature and the freedom to explore the open waters. As for veteran benefits, it is important to recognize and support those who have served their country. While specific benefits and programs vary by region, there may be opportunities for veterans to access certain resources or incentives related to boat ownership. It's worth exploring the available options to determine if any veteran benefits can be applied to your purchase or ownership of a boat. It's essential to thoroughly research and consider all aspects before making a decision that aligns with your needs and goals.

What boat is in the thumbnail?
Sailing is still the most expensive way to travel cheap
Can’t argue with that!
I love all the boats
Whats the name of the boat in the thumbnail
what boat is at 8:54 pls?
Affordable under 100k LMAO. You can get a nice used daysailer for 5k easily
I’ve been on a flying scot. They are a nice boat. But,add a trailer be prepared to spend $40k to be on the safe side of your budget.
Nice video!
100000? That not a commitment?
Why would you buy a 100.000 dollar boat when a IF can do?
Affordable???? I just sold my 23' day sailor for 5K.....

You must be kidding? $100K is your upper limit on affordable? What rarified air do you breath?
Overpriced boats, 100k for a some square meter of plastic composits and some fabric??

Is this person for real. U can buy second for $2000
small daysailers for under $100K??? Wtf?
Where u been shopping. Can get that sz for $5.000 u must be from a wealthy family I think. Cos u have absolutely no idea
