    This week's sailboat for sale is a sweet little boat designed by Robert G. Henry Jr. with this being one of the later models made out of fiberglass (most of them were earlier versions made out of wood).
    This little sailboat for sale was a family weekend/coastal adventure sailboat and was sailed right up until last summer when the family bought a slightly bigger boat to suit their needs. She needs some cleanup and TLC but nothing that would deter CQ from taking the plunge using his "garage sale proceeds" as he put it.

      There are *many, many* boats out there, perfectly safe. seaworthy, and capable, requiring very little (if any) work for under $10,000. People think that sailing is this expensive activity/hobby, and it doesn't have to be at all. And on something like this, the total cost of ownership is trivial. There is nothing complicated about this boat at all, and the upkeep costs will be next to nothing. On the water, under sail, this boat will turn the heads of anyone who sails regularly. If there is one thing I wish this channel had more of, is video of these boats under sail. I bet this boat is beautiful.

    Guys, I checked the International Sailboat Data Base: this boat has a whopping 37.41 on the blue water Comfort Ratio and a dazzling Capsize Screening Formula of 1.55! Fantastic! The boat deserves a total refit at that price. As I do most of my sailing these days with my son who lives in Sweden, I will look for more yachts with similar "old school" virtues. Many thanks to the both of you for bringing us up the learning curve on boat building, rigging and the issues of handling of vintage technology!

    I'm so glad you're back to affordable boats! Not that big expensive yachts aren't cool, but anyone can talk about how rich a rich thing is. The cheaper boats not only are more affordable and relatable, it's also a lot more interesting to find* the good and fun things within the much bigger pool of average offerings.
    This boat is the one I most see myself buying in the channel even if it's not my most dreamed. I can see myself spending 4.5k USD on this old girl and having fun fixing the little that needs fixed in it, and going the hell sailing!

    I met Robert Henry when I was 12 and he was head of small boat design for the US Navy. I'd drawn (I had no math or instruments) a 30 foot full keel cuddy sloop and a friend of my dad's got me an introduction at RH's office. At the time I thought I'd like to go to Webb and be a naval architect and so I was thrilled when he said he thought it would float on it's lines.
    Of course RH did all of the International series. The first of a line of NA's I met over the years in the business and always an enriching experience.

I actually could have bought that boat with a garage sale I had and still had some money left over, and that's not counting the car I sold. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

    What a breath of fresh air, of a channel/ show you two have put together here. Standout dynamic between you two with great upbeat and fun energy, notably quick clip plus solid production qualities. My only concern? Captain Q should absolutely get onto a health kick; I have led launching and turning around far more companies than most stretching decades now, including in Medtech and healthcare.
    So I’ve spent loads of time with leading experts from numerous disciplines including national and internationally noted leaders in cardio and more. Learned a whole lot.
    One result of that is I’ve literally helped save some lives due my “higher gain and fidelity radar” than most; one of those was a seasoned and highly successful investment banker and another “near save” was a “quiet billionaire philanthropist”. The near save was because he very nearly died soon after I didn’t push strongly enough with him and his executive assistant; he had just had a full work up with his Doctor who saw no issues. Doctors are human too.

    Sailing can be cheap, wind is free. If you can get an inexpensive (or free !) mooring or slip the entry-cost is attainable to many. The things that cost a bit are storage, haulage and sails and lines. I've day-sailed without an engine for 10 years. This particular boat shown here is a bargain, well built but also pleasing to the eye, with historical significance in both design and ownership history.

    I got my first real sailing yacht last Christmas for $4500 USD. After pulling the rusted Yanmar 12 hp anchor out and dropping in a 48 hp Volvo penta 2003t and alot of R&R she's almost ready to take my maiden voyage from Port Orchard Washington, up the sound, out the Straights of Juan de Fuca and down the coast to the Columbia river and upstream to Vancouver USA.
    It's a 1976 Camper & Nicholson 33' masthead sloop. #39 of 63 based on the 1975 winner of the Fastnet Golden Delicious. I still need to decide on a name but aside from that she's ready to go. I'll admit that I'm a little bit nervous considering I've only sailed twice before on a 12' sailboat in Miller bay. Wish me luck and thanks for uploading cool stuff on youtube.

    So old school but so much cooler than a Pearson Vanguard, real wood. Nice lines. Old school winches have to go!!
    Love transom detail, not quite the Alan Payne wineglass found on late 70s Columbia's

    I wish I could have a marina full of sailing boats from a Penguin to a 50' blue water ketch. This would definitely included.

    An interior mast support cannot be implemented because it would block the passage to the bow. The bulkhead cannot bear the pressure of the mast because the passage to the bow cabin is located at that point.

    I do love the boat and completely agree with captains rating. This is a much better boat for me and I could afford this boat. A few cosmetic things that I myself could fix. Captain you are one of a kind and if you are single I’d probably flirt with you. You both are just the greatest and I look forward each week to see the wide variety of boats you show. Always a surprise!

    Buy this boat get it to Atom Voyager and have a blast when he’s done with it. Or you can do it yourself. If you have the time, space, tools, and know how. A great little boat with possibilities. This could make someone’s sailing dreams come true.

    Not too dissimilar to my last boat, the Enddeavour 32 long keel Shallow Draft. Immediately noticeable advantages Iver the Endeavour 32, are the partial keel and the forward cabin V Berth having the berths at a sensible height (I fell out of the forward V berth on the Endeavour painfully, which led me to using the midshipman berth instead). On balance I think the Endeavour wins by a head, but a sensible update refit of this boat could turn that into a decent win. This could be a really nice and worthwhile boat to get sorted how the new owner wants, in a very short period of time, and at very low cost. If I was a fair bit younger, It's a boat that would be a joy to customise imho. Thanks for the look around this boat. Best Wishes to all, and especially its next Owners, and Fair Winds to them. Bob. 👍

    Solid old boat but proceed with caution. I could see rewiring the entire boat stem to stern, and refurbishing the diesel, redoing the cushions. I'd also loose that soft headliner and replace it with a wood solid headliner. LED lights throughout, a better prop and a good hull cleaning / painting will make this old girl sing.

    That looks like a 31 Irwin centerboard sloop I owned and sailed all over the Florida Keys. Mine came with six sails and a 15 horse Volvo Diesel engine.

    I think its great to get product endorsements. Vitamins, though they are a great product, I think your views would be more likely to be inspired by, lets say Captain Morgans Rum. Probably a distant relative of Capt Q. Great show .

    Hello from the west coast 👋I like this one a lot .It's simple and basic and not trying to be something she's not just a feel good let's go play for the day or weekend and have some fun .and yes the hull is over thick .that's because at that time people were not sure how strong and durable fiberglass was .Her hull is most likely 1/2 to 5 /8 inch thick all glass .and that plate under the mast was most likely added because the cabin roof was not strong enough to support the stress of movement that was being transmitted from the mast to the roof . She will make a great first boat for anyone including a beginner .and if I'm not mistaken because of her weight you can trailer her to move from place to place she should be short enough that when the mast is removed and because of her gross weight it can be towed behind a pickup truck Using a properly built trailer .Yep a real fun boat to have at a real great price you can't go wrong hear.

    Sailboat Data lists the displacement as 11,200 pounds (5,080 kg). There is no listing for ballast. That is one sweet boat. Captain Q keep up the good work, I always look forward to your reviews.
