I cant get enough of this channel. Just everything about it. I love the mini history lessons, parts of the boat definitions, easy to understand explanations, and of course commentary on personal experience and practicality ❤
What I appreciate as now, late in life, a "sofa sailor," having spent nearly 20 years on sailboats of every shape and size on Long Island Sound. So these reviews keep me connected to that visceral part of me; the information is accurate, fun, and informative. Oh, to be 50 years younger! Thank you, Captain Q. you keep the dream alive!
Oh to be 50 yrs old and have that energy level. Being almost 20yrs beyond that I still think to myself how can I make this happen ? Of course I don’t realistically have the energy level to make this boat happen but I still continue to think it could.
@@YachtHunters I'm very interested in buying a sailboat and sailing around the world. I'm a beginner but a quick study. Could you please give me advice on where to start and how to get experience and to learn everything. Any advise you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I live in Arizona. I was born in mexico and have only ever lived in the Sonoran desert but I once visited California and meet the sea. Since that day I’ve dreamed of the endless horizon I saw there for the first time in my life. Captain Q finding these beautiful dreams at an affordable price is fantastic and his knowledge and wit are unmatched. Thank you for what you do for this desert boy with ocean dreams.
Unlike so many boat tour channels and videos, I love how yall always either show the keel on dry land or describe it. The keel is such an important purchase decision and so many people dont even give it notice
This is the kind of boat I wish one of my friends had. It's like being a grandparent. Once the fun is over, time to pack up and return to peace and quiet. As a young man though , I would have seen endless possibilities for this beauty. Thanks for the tour Captain.
The Fram is one of these most famous expedition boats. Not only to it take Nansen to the Arctic, but it was loaned to Amundsen for his trip to the South Pole.
What an interesting vessel! Thank you for the tour and history of the construction. Love your channel Captain Q and Ran-Day! Keep up the excellent and informative videos, I’m learning so much!
George Buehler has unfortunately passed on in 2018 and is no longer with us. I love his designs. His boats are utilitarian and make wonderful go anywhere craft.
What a pilot house, this boat makes you dream of far off places. I love the back stories, history lessons, as well as your extensive knowledge of subjects related to boats. Thanks for sharing a little piece of you with us!
I totally agree. I love the idea of buying a boat that a hobby boatbuilder built. I built a 18 foot row boat and can appreciate what went into building this amazing boat.
Now there's a boat with some elbow room, and character. A no-nonsense, heavy, purpose-built beauty. A little refit, and some cosmetics here and there, and she's perfect. As a double-ender, I'll bet she's slippery and faster than she looks under sail.
My lord that was the tour that just kept going lol. What a beautiful vessel. Definitely not for everybody but so many possibilities to use her for. Thank you for the tour.
Some channels just go over a boat's build and gadgets. I love the whole history lesson included with the videos from this channel, including some technical details I would usually overlook!
Capt Q is such a breath of fresh air and knowledge! Love watching these videos and when he mentioned teaching sailing at the Newport Officers training school in the last video that hit close to home as I grew up in. Middletown RI right next door and have sailed those same waters.
that is a workin' boat, thank you for showing us. I think for me though, a bit more relaxation and a bit more nimble is in order. but if I were younger and wanted NOAH to hire me ...that would be a great boat
Copper clad that bad boy and head south. The glass might protect you from the worms that eat right through your hull, but I’d want to be sure. This is a fantastic ship that has so much life left in her. My god I’d love to live on her, finish out my days cruising the islands and head up to Canada and Alaska.
A true crew served vessel. I remember the chart drawers on the bridge aboard the Fedship Fritz Mar I was on. Back then a chart was about $5.00 each in the chandlery. Now with satellite navigation they are rare. This was an interesting look at a unique vessel. She has potential to be many things depending on the buyers ideas.
I'm so happy to see a Buehler design. I love his design philosophy. It's great to see the respect you have for this boat. Read Buehler's book. It's refreshing.
Capt Q, love your videos! This is an interesting vessel. Thanks for the info on the owner and designer. Enjoyed the tour. Look forward to the next video.
I look forward to your channel on a Friday more than I look forward to Friday wine.. just terrific and I love the boats you find, the history, the boat knowledge.. just fabulous!!!
This is an amazing yacht, absolutely perfect for safe cruising and exploring. I would add a few more modern touches like solar and lithium batteries, perhaps convert that scientific room into a store-room cum workshop but WOW what a yacht for someone to have to cruise to distant shores on.
Wow wow wow! As a completely unbiased viewer with nothing to gain whatsoever ever this is definitely the BEST episode yet 😬🤣 in all seriousness tho- maybe Polar Sun should be traded in for this. I think on this rig even our family could each have their own “space” when needed 🤔. Awesome boat fellas. And talk about fabulous shameless plug- I guess we owe you one! Xo
Glad you enjoyed it! this boat could be The Impossible Dream for another writer and Hampton you could translate their book for them as well !!! haha I hope sales go through the roof for you... I know a lot of Captain Q's crew will want to read it ...
As a university student on his way to getting a degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, you guys' videos have been both addicting and helpful for me. I wish i could intern with you guys a little bit too.
All set for single handed or no crew couple cruising...lolz I always wanted a career as a oceanographer or marine biologist. Timing isn’t right but the dreams still there. Awesome boat, & video. Thank you both.
I’m watching the video again because I’m in love with this boat, hell I’d love to have any of the boats that you’ve been generous enough to share with us, and I thank you for that. Wouldn’t this boat make a great whale watching platform ? It has so many features that to acquire this boat means your buying a business. Just the annual maintenance costs would break the average Joe. Anyway I love this boat.
That is my dream boat .Sail the seven sea's in comfort and safety hire out anywhere in the world when I need money .she will last the rest of my life and to buy it is less than a house .there is no down side to this lady .Thank you Capitan Q for showing this Vessel .
@@YachtHunters Thanks Cap that means a lot to me . I guess I'll have to sell My other house so I can be ready for the next deal . Wish I could find a deal like that over here on the west coast .
Thank You Captains Q. This is my dream boat. I love it! Great job bringing it to your UA-cam channel. I have learned a ton about sailing watching. Cool Beans Sir. Phhht.
Really an amazing little ship. My only quibble would be with the galley which seemed a bit too spartan for me since I do a fair bit of cooking. But with plenty of space available I'm sure it could be remodeled easily enough for the lucky new-to-be owners of the stout little vessel. Keep up the excellent reviews!
Agreed.... that's a reasonable quibble and that's the right spirit... easy enough to remodel and really make it your own... there's plenty of space to work with
Sadly ol George has passed on. His site is still up but I don't think Mrs Buehler is interested in selling plans any longer. George is probably best known for being the designer of the popular Diesel Ducks passage making power boats. Several are being built professionally in China and Turkey and since George sold plans to home builders several have been built by amateurs. George was quite a character and more than a little opinionated but he was a wealth of seafaring knowledge and a joy to trade emails with. RIP, George.
Love your channel! Just the sort of unique boat I love to see toured! Honestly feel like this one is a tough sell at this price point tho, poor galley, and poor accommodations compared to more modern boats that cost the same or less. Yeah it's perhaps more capable for extreme adventuring, but imo more modern boats or catamarans seem like much better value at this price point for most cruisers.
Thanks for the info! omg I'm glad i didn't call it a hermaphrodite Brig !!! lol ... we strive for perfection but fall shore too often always appreciate help ...its like the black pearl in our oyster for us... Best To barclay
Love the videos. Keep them coming. Considering how your target audience is new sailors I thought you might like to clear some things up though. “Topsides” are the part of the hull BELOW the deck and above the waterline. No one says “going topsides” it isn’t a thing. The expression is going up on deck. “All hands on deck”comes from when the entire crew is needed “on deck” A deck is something you walk on. Not a topside. This video get it straight but a previous video you referred to the fiberglass bullworks as skuppers. The part of the deck that goes up on the sides for safety are called bullworks. Boats with fiberglass bullworks often have a teak toe rail on top of them. Skuppers are the holes that allow water to drain through the bullworks over the side. Also the drains in the cockpit are called skuppers. The drains in a dorade box are skuppers too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scupper When I first started sailing nearly 30 years ago, many captains preferred totally green crew so they could teach them the “right” way, as many skippers didn’t have formal education and did things wrong way for 20 years without ever being corrected. I think this might be the case with Captain Q. At first I thought it might be a New England thing, but now I believe it’s a Captain Q thing he probably got from his mentor.
Cap, you really need to sit down and read the book Nanson wrote about the voyage of the Fram. Truly amazing. There is a synopsis on Wikipedia. The Fram fulfilled her ice functions, but by all accounts was a horrible sea boat.
Hi Capt and Randy... Love this vessel (too big to call it simply a boat)...I wonder how many it would take to sail her...two? More? Awesome vessel at a bargain price! Wish it were mine! Thanks again! I look forward to every episode!
Quick question for anyone that might read this: This boat seems a bit bigger than the ones you guys usually cover, what size crew would you need to sail this beast? Thanks in advance.
I only found your channel a few weeks ago, but I will be watching them all now. You do a great job showing off the boats and tell the story behind them very well. I don't have the money to buy this beautiful Vessel, but it will now be a dream to one day own her if she is still For sale. My girlfriend has family just down the road in Rockland. Side Note I went looking for a listing and I couldn't find it, Do you know if they just took down the add for winter or did it sell? Thanks you From A New Friend in Texas
First thing I would do with a boat like that is take all the fiberglass off of her she needs saltwater to keep the wood she is a great boat but by taking the fiberglass off the bottom it would save the boat in a massive way.....watertight bulkheads on a woodenboat is a very hard thing to do it does not mean you put a metal door between bulkheads it means between bulkhead compartments must be watertight which means pressure testing remember the joinery between all the parts below and above water would have to be airtight great idea but very hard to do on a wooden boat because of contraction and expansion but remember I do this as a foreman in a wooden boat shipyard and I probably know a little more then the in's and outs of wooden boats construction
When the guy in 'Jaws' said "We're gonna need a bigger boat" this is exactly what he had in mind. Imagine Jaws trying to get loose from that big aft winch and roller system - he go belly up long before he popped this transom loose. I think it has been sold since none of the links work, but if I win the big lotto I'm going to buy boats just like this. I'd like to be rich enough to finance university level research outfits doing the kind of coastal research we need to combat our human depredations on the world's coastlines. Or maybe just plunk it in SF bay as a liveaboard, and dare the harbormaster to try to remove me.
The chart table and seeing the unfolded charts on this wonderful boat gave me a flashback to my Navy days as an enlisted navigator, known as a Quartermaster. If I had any idea this sailboat was there when I was in Belfast multiple times aboard cruise ship Independence. That's what I get for not taking a walk about. I am astonished this excellent sailboat is under $200 grand.
I cant get enough of this channel. Just everything about it. I love the mini history lessons, parts of the boat definitions, easy to understand explanations, and of course commentary on personal experience and practicality ❤
I can't stop watching. Even the music is perfect. I didn't even want to like this channel
"we could have been there til spring" Capt. Q is Treasure to watch. This guy is a funny and knows his stuff.

Sounds like you are still the perfect age
I sold my CT-65 and miss sailing. Maybe I might find a new smaller boat and get back to what I love best-SAILING!
Oh to be 50 yrs old and have that energy level. Being almost 20yrs beyond that I still think to myself how can I make this happen ? Of course I don’t realistically have the energy level to make this boat happen but I still continue to think it could.

Well put. We're spoiled out here on the California Coast. I'd rather die than live landlocked :D
Someone get these two a PBS syndication! Love this show.
Every episode of the Yacht Hunter is like finding the prize in the Cracker Jack box... well done Cap'n Q, Boatswain's Mate Ran-day and Seadog !!!
Unlike so many boat tour channels and videos, I love how yall always either show the keel on dry land or describe it. The keel is such an important purchase decision and so many people dont even give it notice
That feeling when you can afford a boat but could never afford to maintain it
Imagine the cost of new sails! Rigging. Oh my
This is the kind of boat I wish one of my friends had. It's like being a grandparent. Once the fun is over, time to pack up and return to peace and quiet. As a young man though , I would have seen endless possibilities for this beauty. Thanks for the tour Captain.

Glad you enjoyed it
George Buehler has unfortunately passed on in 2018 and is no longer with us. I love his designs. His boats are utilitarian and make wonderful go anywhere craft.
I'm shocked at how well this craft is put together. If I had an expedition to run this would be a fine platform. Or even to run a dive charter,..
That’s what we were thinking too... perfect dive adventure boat

Cereal and sprite. Thumbs up for The Captain and crew (Randay)
Keep finding it impressive how you always find a beautiful boat and have a matching story. Thank you and have fun together.
Fantastic video Capt'n Q and Randy. You have a gift. In 25 minutes you make a Cal 25 as interesting as a 64-foot schooner! Impressive
Thanks very much!
Captain Q Yacht Hunter is my favorite UA-cam channel to binge watch. I’m always happy when a new episode comes out. Thanks guys. Awesome Job!

Oh to be younger. What a wonderful expedition boat. Could be a live aboard dive boat. Or marine research, watching whales
Thank you Captn Q. And crew. Great show!

Fantastic ship. Certainly outside the main stream but ever so worthwhile. Thx
Beautiful boat...it is perfect...
Captain Q really knows his beans.
This is a REAL research boat. I will thinking about this boat. The first a really good boat in your presentation.
Instructive and fun. Thanks Captain and Ray.
Cap is that Errol Flynn's boat? I would make a floating BAR/HOTEL/cathouse out of it!!! WOWA.
This is an amazing yacht, absolutely perfect for safe cruising and exploring. I would add a few more modern touches like solar and lithium batteries, perhaps convert that scientific room into a store-room cum workshop but WOW what a yacht for someone to have to cruise to distant shores on.
Great boat, great episode! Thanks so much!!
The video graphics and editing are great. Keep it up.
Amazing boat! Reminds me of the boat expedition drenched is on, and the kind of boat I’d love to be on 😀. Great video gentlemen!!
Boy, I love watching you guys, keep it up! Always got a smile on my face.
Glad you enjoy it! thank you
Love the history lessons sir!! Fascinating!👍
You have to figure that if Captain Q won big on the lottery he would have about 50 boats maybe 1 for every week of the year!
you seem like a very wise and insightful person ;)
Awesome episode. Good find guys just before the winter wrap also. Always a fun watch. Very educational. . Stay safe and warm
Yikes! That is a huge vessel. Nice to dream about an adventure aboard her.

I have never wanted to buy a boat more than this one.
Really an amazing little ship. My only quibble would be with the galley which seemed a bit too spartan for me since I do a fair bit of cooking. But with plenty of space available I'm sure it could be remodeled easily enough for the lucky new-to-be owners of the stout little vessel. Keep up the excellent reviews!

There is a synopsis on Wikipedia. The Fram fulfilled her ice functions, but by all accounts was a horrible sea boat.
