Welcome to Chasing Latitudes! Have you ever imagined the smell of the ocean air as your boat crashes through the waves? The freedom that comes from casting off the bow lines and heading out to sea to explore new places you can’t reach by car or airplane? Then this channel is for you.
You will not see white sand beaches here, restaurant reviews, beach parties, selfies or Japanese knives. What you will find is factual information based on decades of sailing experience.
My channel is specifically meant for one thing and one thing only, to help YOU find your new to you fancy-dancy yacht of your dreams and get on the water in the fastest, most time efficient manner.
Don’t get caught up in looking at old boats! I focus on mostly newer vessels, built in 2000 or later because I want you to spend as much of your time as possible sailing, not practicing your restoration skills on an old boat attempting to bring it to its former glory.
You want to take advantage of the amazing newer technology and modern hull designs when it comes to sailing. This is going to make your vessel far easier to sail solol or short handed and make them far more comfortable and efficient to live aboard full time or even just weekenders without buying more boat than you need.
I offer a wide variety of services including consulting where I will take you through the entire process of how to budget properly, choosing what vessel size will work for your needs, what type of vessel, I will help you shop for vessels, determine offer prices, schedule surveys, talk with brokers, teach you how to do your own pre-survey, walk you through hiring the correct surveyor and help you avoid all of the common pitfalls that you will find when purchasing used sailing vessels.
The consulting does not stop there, I will be with you every step of the way and long after you have purchased your vessel as consulting also comes with lifetime access to the members area,.
Chasing Latitudes hosts a large, active private members area where the members are more than happy to offer their own experience to solve problems, host private videos for ASA Sailing quizzes (ASA 101, 103, & 104), and live stream videos which feature anything from member cruising to boat shopping, boat comparisons, and other live content with chat from the subscribers to my UA-cam channel and channel members.
It’s time for YOU to get on the water. Come aboard!

It's a nice boat. I prefer cats. They are easier with guests and for the type of cruising that 98% of owners do, its perfect. It also helps that the resale value on cats is higher.
Nice boat!
Question:
Can you do a video on running costs comparison. I know you talk about it here and there but a dedicated video by class size 22 to 80 ft. would be great.
that crew cabin would be great my my stepson and nephew. could bring both brother in laws family and mother in law. awsome boat
i like the boat but all the video was showing them about 30 degrees heeling...i hate standing on my ear all day at 72 that is very tiring. On a trip that would get very old in a big hurry.
@@abcgang8048 i'm surprised with all the high tech we don't have something to automatically pay out the main sheet to make the heeling angle less. I have no clue how much more boat speed you can get heeled at thirty degrees.
I've gotta wonder why you'd suggest a monohull over a catamaran when you show it heeling like that. It's almost like the primary goal of adding hulls is to prevent heeling because a heeling boat sucks to live on.
because if Bluewater sailing , while unlikely the risk of capsizing might be to great.l
if you don't reef soon enough, also surfing down waves can be a hazard. another thing, is overloaded the risk of capsizing increases.
a good Bluewater sailboat is just safer.
ua-cam.com/video/gM-RAZEKmjs/v-deo.htmlsi=E5c4jmqv4RQIhFh2 this guy can explain it well
He's not kidding - the Dufour 470 is ENORMOUS. Makes you wonder if it will fit in a slip....
It's huge right lol
The question that needs to be answered is "At $500K+ is that the ready to sail away price?" Or do you still have to add another $100K or more to sail away?
Thanks so much! Wow boat; how would Dufour 47’s compare in order to fit a more moderate budget?
I was at the Annapolis show too - I was so impressed with all of the Dufours - and this one? just gorgeous
Yeah they were really nice
I liked the Dufour 470 a bit better than the Beneteau 46.1. Loved them both but if I had to choose it would be the Dufour 470 in a heartbeat.
Within the Dufour line, I liked the 520 more, it offers more than the 470 and because it is used, it is much cheaper and more complete.
I saw this boat at Annapolis as well. It was amazing. And I think you're right, cost-wise it is comparable to a 40 foot cat. I thought the Dufour was also priced very well for this size of boat. Nicely equipped versions of this boat list for the mid $700k new.
I have no idea why you are such a fanboy of this boat. And what is so unusual about a 15' beam?
💯Agreed. The Dufour’s at the show were awesome. Really love the midship split galley concept.
yeah I didn't think I would like it but I actually love it
Since the Annapolis sailboat show, I have been sold on the Beneteau Oceanis line and the Jeannau. After watching this particular video and doing a little more research I will make sure I get aboard a Defour, and a Moody DS before I pull the trigger on any deal.
:)
The Moody I saw there was very nice and seaworthy/strong feeling for sure, but the space of the Dufores was over the top from what I saw there this year.. Cant wait for next!
@@jefftroy1 Wild right, that DuFour 47 was something else
Thank you for this video.
Awesome vid! Thx
Thank you for watching
Thanks!
Dufour is really knocking it out of the park!😃👍👏👏👏
Chris, go test out a Garcia 45 ft. explorer, and let us know.
I meant to at the show but couldn't find it
@@ChasingLatitudes Damn! 😡
can you cover their smaller ones? that was lovely...
Yes sir , will do
What would it cost approximately to purchase one in Europe and flag here in the U.S.? Import fees
Thanks for the video today, really clarified and answered my question!
Does it have also a cabin in the bow? For crew?
Yes it does
But but but, the 40’ cat doesn’t require the user to live life at an angle…. Waaaaaa
Someone for sure is thinking about this as the benefit to the cat over the 470.
The 470 would make a wonderful family cruiser! 😁⛵️
Impressive!! I’d imagine 500k range to start
Wow what a boat but way out of my price😜😜🤙
Mine too
Capsize rating 2.03.
Capsize rating means absolutely nothing, capsize rating doesn't even take into account location of keel, type of keel, hull type, weight, nadda, useless measurement
