    Thanks for posting the video! I just picked up a 1976 Kells 23 swing keel and trying to absorb as many of the non-existent posts I can find online! :)

      No problem. That's awesome Tom! Yeah, not much info out there, but I can say it's been a good first sailboat.

    Top notch content! It is only a matter of time before you can use your YT revenue to finance a bigger and bolder boat and lifestyle.

    Good afternoon . I was the proud owner of a1976 Kells Coaster with wheel steering . The wheel was put on for the in the water boat show in Phila. I picked up a few boats and delivered them for a dealer from Penna . The longest trip I ever made with the boat was from Chatham MA. to Nantucket Island . Fun boat and trailered her from the Cape to the Chesapeake Bay area .
    Good luck

      That's awesome. It had to be the only one with a wheel.

    BTW, I've learned that the mail sheet is set-up as a Crosby Rig. I don't know too much about it other than it was designed by William F. Crosby an editor of Rudder magazine

    Very nice boat ! Im a very beginner sailor with zero experience my main halierd line is currently at the top of my mast and i cant get it down but i will climb the mast if i have too i have a tanzer 7.5 24 footer

      Thanks! I'm still a rookie too. Everyone eventually loses a halyard at the top of the mast, but the Tanzer is a nice boat.

    I have a 1978 Columbia, but it has a really similar design to your boat. I was wondering how you like the Tohatsu 6hp saildrive and could you motor with her a far distance in semi rough conditions?

    • @captain-steve
      @captain-steve  2 місяці тому

      It's a great motor and it's perfect for calm conditions and light winds. If you're looking at less than a meter seas it will get you around, anything else would be a slow trip, especially upwind.

    planning sailing long distance?

    • @captain-steve
      @captain-steve  9 місяців тому

      That is the plan at some point, but I'm definitely going to need a bigger boat.

    • @IceglacierArnar
      @IceglacierArnar 9 місяців тому

      I need to drop a few pounds, not quite ready for beach season.
