Ran-day's catch phrase "Instagram is not a place" along with his sincere and disarming smile keep ending every episode on a high note, very well thought out.
Knowlege and wisdom just spill out of Capt.Q and Ran-Day is the most polite foil. One can always tell good people and these two are some of the finest. Thanks Gents always a pleasure.
Hi John! You were correct... and quick with the right answer so if you watch this: ua-cam.com/video/dOM49UPKLNk/v-deo.html you'll see that you'll be getting some merch from us. Just shoot an email to CaptainQYachtHunter@gmail.com with your mailing address and we'll send along a prize. cheers
I think the shelf is used for some sort of navigation tool... eitherway I really enjoy your channel and watch all your videos. My plans are to purchase a nice bluewater boat in approx 10 years (when i retire) and spend about 5 years circumnavigating. Please keep the videos coming !
I enjoyed your memories of cruising down the East River. We did the same in1965,66, from Halifax to the Bahamas. All I can remember of New York is driving from the City Island marina through Harlem while the city had the fire hydrants open for the kids to play in. I wanted my parents to move us there.
It is a Dinty Moore holder. You wedge a can in there on that pull out shelf right in front of the captain and he keeps on steering because he thinks heś getting closer.
Captain Q looks so much happier in the summer sun. Your first commercial sponsorship, congratulations! Captain Q did such a great job, I'm going to Un-Duz-It right now. What do you mean it's not a place?
Beautiful boat, in the early 80s these units were sold out by the end of November! I might add the gel coat is impeccable as mentioned by the Hinckley staff at the boat shows. The Shelf is probably for radar
i declare to be the captain! therefore i am the captain. i must be the captain, because the captain is never wrong. therefore i am the captain! because i am the captain, i declare to be the owner of all ships and boats on earth and beyond! therefore i own all ships and boats on earth and beyond, because i the captain is never wrong! as legal owner of all ships and boats on earth and beyond i, the captain declare, that anyone who is in possession of one of my vessels, is obliged to pay to me, the captain of all ships and boats on earth and beyond, a possession-fee of 100 thousand Dollars per month! because i am the captain and the captain is never wrong, this obligation fee is a legal fact. as the captain of all ships and boats on earth and beyond i command anyone obliged to pay the possession-fee to contact me immediately for payment! OR ELSE!
I would call the lightweight anchor a lunch hook. I bought a boat once with a lightweight anchor and only 10 feet of chain and it dragged all over if there was any meaningful wind. A good amount of chain is almost more important than the anchor. This is a very nice clean boat.
THIS is my style. Affordable, well thought out features, a little broader in the hips to trade a tiny fraction of speed for much greater interior volume. I would probably look for the shallower draft version. Thanks, guys!
The CNG range is a huge improvement. I had a pressure alcohol oven and cook top.. awful.. had tonuse a bicycle pump to pressurize .. but alcohol burns invisibly and that happened to me.. a burner had a leak .. when I had a pizza on the oven.. pretty scary
@@johnebell1022 yes.. and that's what I did.. got buckets of water over the side & threw salt water on it. I. Ever used it again. I had a leaky valve on the stove top Nd raw alcohol was coming out. It ignited and I had a fire. Pretty nasty..
Nice boat . All the hardware seemed to be quality and heavy duty . I also like how it’s laid out below . I’m a mechanic so naturally like how you can access the engine . Another fantastic review 👍👍
Thursday no longer exists, it's been renamed QDay. Great video as always. S2's are great boats, they also made Tiara brand of powerboats which are very high-end. The S2 9.2C is an acquired taste..it's tough to create a walkthrough CC at 30 feet. I believe that the S9.2C claim to fame was being the smallest sailboat with a bathtub! $16k is an amazing deal. It Will not last long. Thanks, Capt'n and Randee!~
I'm going to assume (wrongly, most likely) that the pull-out tray is to support a compass or other navigational instrument that would benefit from the light from the cabin while underway at night... Thanks for another great, tidy, and slick boat. Be well.
So glad you found an S2 to review. I just started looking at them and was hoping you'd film one one day. I love how informative your videos are. Look forward to seeing more.
In 2007 I bought an S2 9.2c that was a disaster and set about restoring it over the next 6 months. Tuned out very nicely and sailed well, but a little tender due to the center cockpit. Great aft cabin and built like a tank.
Capitan Q, professor doctor possess of much sailing boat knowledge! Thanks, you must agree most humans align with sailing, it’s in our blood! The film ‘moby dick’ reveal the extended love of the sea and fascination! Your channel is excellent, I like the effort to reveal and explain all of the techniques equipment for the newbie! Most of us think we can buy a boat and sail the next to Cuba! Boy are we delusional! Keep em coming and eliminate the ‘um and nice’ boats aren’t nice and repairs are worse!
Hey Captain Q, not sure if its been figured out but my guess as to what that thing is you bumped your head on is a mounting platform for a rear view mirror. I’m probably wrong, but it kind of makes sense for a boat that is being single handed.
That is a nice sail boat and very impressive.. The answer to the quiz. I would say it is great place to mount our laptop unit and video camera..Cheers.Have a nice day God bless
The late Prince Philip, David Niven and Peter Ustinov used to dine together every Thursday evening when they were all in London. The dinner would take place in one of their private clubs and apparently, many amusing tales were told. Much drink was drunk and so far as I know. No confidences were ever broken. This weekly event was called The Thursday Club and the idea behind it, was to celebrate the end of the week spent pleasurably, prior to the working week which by agreement started on Friday at some undetermined point and ended on Friday evening. I'm guessing that these dinners occurred after the war, when all concerned felt that they deserved to take it easy for a bit, having served in various highly dangerous theatres of war. Because I'm a few time zones ahead of the East Coast and currently single, I often plan a pleasant dinner, accompanied with a decent bottle of French red for around the time Captain Q and Ran-day appear on YT on a Thursday evening. Being semi-retired and although without quite such a distinguished record of service in uniform, I've never-the-less decided to adopt the practice of The Thursday Club and am on the lookout for diners as entertaining as those above. However, Capt. Q & Ran-day are a hard act to beat! ;)
I’ve only seen the prince on tv , I have read David Nivens memoirs which are fantastic and revealing and I spent 6 hours in first class transatlantic flight with Ustinov who proved to be Totally uncommunicative to the point of surliness. I vowed to never watch any of his work again. Of course he could not have known that HIS seat mate would someday 45 years later become the world re known Captain Q (Lol) I like your Thursday club nonetheless And thanks for your note We love hearing from our viewers 👍👍
Superb tour and very astute comments on boats characteristics! Also, like me, you obviously love all boat stuff! Greetings from the Emerald Isle. Ramey.
The mystery drawer is probably an ancient solar panel holder. If not, then check the black bracket thingy setting on the port side inside the vberth @(24:06) it might give a clue. I don't know why I'm doing this, but thanks for the great show!
Nice boat ! I have no idea what that thingamabob was but, I'll guess it's part of the cabin door lock? Great informative boat tour. As always keep smiling ! Thanks for the entertainment !
Impressive boat thank you. His boat has homelike qualities rendering a comfortable week aboard. Would say the shelf holds radar. Only required in the fog. Cheers
I bet the shelf was for a small tv. It is a good place under the dodger which kept it in the shade so the screen would be visible in the daylight. I had something similar on my sailboat and used to have it on sailing Sundays during football season.
As I sit in land locked Phoenix, in 100+ heat; I'm thinking your ending could use a wee bit of freshening up. Even though the thought of wearing heavy coats sounds better than being cooked alive. :)
I think the design firm of Graham & Schlageter designed the boat. They were the top MORC design firm in the 70’s & 80’s. Eric Shlageter went on to work on every America’s Cup from 87 though 03. He then worked on Top Secret Government projects.
... this boat is right in my "wheel house" ... like the size ... like the price ... and in good condition too. As I would be single handing, so I really like it ... just add some solar panels ... Great Find ...
I have no idea what that is or what its for. However, I did enjoy the video and liked the boat. Great job you two! Still weighting on my prize from months ago. Glad to see its warming up there. I used to live in Harpswell when stationed at NAS BRUNSWICK, which is now closed.
What a lovely boat for a young or old person or couple, great value as usual Capt. Q! BTW, the cabinet for feet is called a TROTTER BOX. Dinty Moore is the best, but unavailable in Trinidad to my knowledge...
@@YachtHunters When I started sailing keelboats as a kid, that was the name for it. Everyone I know used the same term. Sounds like it would have a British origin....like tripe and trotters.
I continue to learn a great deal from you. I am seriously looking to move from my 2004 Nissan Xterra Overlander to a 25 to 40 foot sailing vessel. You have given me a lot to choose from, and I look forward to seeing much more. I have even reached out to one owner on something I am seriously considering. I hope to be able to meet you one day so that I can pick your brain on all of the things that I just do not know. It is my hope to be able to shift my UA-cam channel to the salt life.
Hmmmm. The slider mechanism is for an alcohol stove to serve up Dinty Moore and/or hot Spam for a very hungry crew :-) :-) :-), or for catering fine cheese and chilled wine (in an ice bucket) for discerning guests. The holes are for wood pieces (billets) or pipes to support the alcohol stove and/or ice bucket. I’d like a pair of Nantucket reds (38”x32”) with the CQ brand, please and thank you ;-). A “hither and yon” cup would be very nice too :-)
@@YachtHunters Haha! CQ is such a tease, always showing boats on the East coast, so far from my home port on the Pacific Northwest. I’ll look for my CQ-branded Nantucket reds under the tree in December, preferably with suspenders ;-) :-) Thanks CQ and Randay for another fun and informative vid.
My guess is that the shelf was for an RDF set. Possibly a Konal with a top mounted rotating bezel to take bearings......Would have been a very expensive and precious item back in the day. Always enjoy the videos by the way, top work.
G`day Captain and Ran-day well you guys have found another little gem, I love it!!! so well thought out, this is a BIg , little yacht, what a fantastic vessel to get someone with small family into the life of sailing/cruising. For this price I would buy it in heart beat, few things I`m not real keen on the carpet on walls and head liner , hard to see water coming into the yacht with that stuff, If it was mine I`d pull that out ,insulate it and paint it. The anchor was a tad small. How good was the access to the motor compared with last weeks boat,? Awesome to work on and get to. I`m guessing the tray was a support for the radar screen, and double up as a cocktail table when radar screen not mounted hahaha. Love you guys
Congratulations on getting a sponsor- probably a great product as well! The S2 is like the original mini cruiser, one could almost believe that perhaps your glasses were very slightly askew- making it seem like 3/4 scale, right? With all of that headroom (as well as bilge for those pesky H20 tanks- clean & used) it really does 'pass' as good cruiser! Clean hull, clean interior and a moderate entry price for the joys of sailing... Obviously, I need to get away from this channel- because, I looking for the darn checkbook again! Thank God my wife has hidden it from me! After last week's fight over whether we need a C & C 38 (she won!) my sore ego is afraid of yet another bruising! Some very tasty treats being served- Thank you!!!
I love that boat back in 1994 I sailed on a boat just like that one Shadowfax was her name out of Newburyport the bottom was faired like glass it beat the other boat I sailed on a Frers 33 at the time they needed 1more crew to make it even so I went on board nice sail
keep it up cap'n... we almost have my wife convinced.
⚡⛈ & 🌊
Trying the best we can
Captain Q has forgotten more about sailboats than most of these sailing channels claim to know!
So true
@ Rico, make that 'MOST'.
Ran-day's catch phrase "Instagram is not a place" along with his sincere and disarming smile keep ending every episode on a high note, very well thought out.
Nice going pal
Knowlege and wisdom just spill out of Capt.Q and Ran-Day is the most polite foil. One can always tell good people and these two are some of the finest. Thanks Gents always a pleasure.
Yeah, he likes that there is no varnish on the (stainless steel) bezels. WHAT?!?
Very helpful to see reasonable priced boats for the average Joe, thank you captain
Never been sailing and stumbled on this channel. A lifetime's knowledge & passion shines through in every word uttered by the Captain.
very kind of you to say, Malcom. thank you
Captain Q you are a gem! Your Un Duz It commercial is classic- you even temporarily disposed of your socks. Thank you for the always fabulous intel.
If I had to give up all my subscriptions except one, this is my keeper by a country mile.
Captain Q taught Chuck Norris how to sail.
RDF shelf/holder, for navigating by RDF. I still had one until a few years ago!
I had an old Vennard rdf Very accurate
Wish I still had it.
I’m thinking I agree with you

Good catch
If I had the money that's the boat I'd purchase, looks amazing and good value for money
Most underrated channel 2 me.
Gotta love Thursday’s with another great find 👍 thanks to the Captain and Randay ⛵️⛵️😘
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. If I did not live 1500 miles from big water I'd write a check.
I think the shelf is used for some sort of navigation tool... eitherway I really enjoy your channel and watch all your videos. My plans are to purchase a nice bluewater boat in approx 10 years (when i retire) and spend about 5 years circumnavigating. Please keep the videos coming !
All that and a bag of chips for 16K “asking” price!!! This is a real winner for someone out on the market!!!

@@petermeier2064 Lots of luck Captain....
@@peterengel7885 All hands on deck!
🤔 ah, captain. Should we put the boat into the water first, before hoisting any sails?
Just asking.
@@stevenr8606 Any damn fool can navigate the world sober. It takes a really good sailor to do it drunk.
Holy...refrigeration, hot water, ovens, dodger, shower.....great find.
Fiberglass will be solid and blister free.
I salute you in agreeing with a sponsor. Your videos are WORK, and you should get compensated for it. Don't forget the $46.50 you owe me Randay.
I’ll pass that along to him
I would call the lightweight anchor a lunch hook. I bought a boat once with a lightweight anchor and only 10 feet of chain and it dragged all over if there was any meaningful wind. A good amount of chain is almost more important than the anchor.

It’s CNG Compressed natural gas not LNG. LNG is cryogenic and difficult to source. Love your videos!!! Almost ready to buy this boat!
Hope you get it! It's really a very nice boat.
Thanks for the clarification. I'm thinking where in the world could you get LNG. CNG is going to be hard enough in remote places.
@@barrellcooper6490 easy! It's sold in the previous owner's favorite marina. 😂
Great headroom for a 30 footer, good job Capn Q. Really a perfect starter boat.
The CNG range is a huge improvement. I had a pressure alcohol oven and cook top.. awful.. had tonuse a bicycle pump to pressurize .. but alcohol burns invisibly and that happened to me.. a burner had a leak .. when I had a pizza on the oven.. pretty scary
The only good thing about alcohol stoves is at least they can be extinguished with water.
@@johnebell1022 yes.. and that's what I did.. got buckets of water over the side & threw salt water on it. I. Ever used it again. I had a leaky valve on the stove top Nd raw alcohol was coming out. It ignited and I had a fire. Pretty nasty..
Nice boat . All the hardware seemed to be quality and heavy duty . I also like how it’s laid out below . I’m a mechanic so naturally like how you can access the engine . Another fantastic review 👍👍
I think the pull out tray holds a flat screen of some sort. perhaps radar.
There was no such thing as a flat screen in 1979.
Thursday no longer exists, it's been renamed QDay. Great video as always. S2's are great boats, they also made Tiara brand of powerboats which are very high-end.

I really like these S2 9.2 just a tad short though... But definitely more in my budget :)
I'm going to assume (wrongly, most likely) that the pull-out tray is to support a compass or other navigational instrument that would benefit from the light from the cabin while underway at night...
Thanks for another great, tidy, and slick boat.
Be well.
Subscribed ! Love this guy , and wow 16k ! Lucky human who bought it
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!
hahaha
My daughter and I think the empty platform supports an older style radar unit display. Go Captain Q!! 👍🏻
So glad you found an S2 to review. I just started looking at them and was hoping you'd film one one day. I love how informative your videos are. Look forward to seeing more.
My friend had one of these boats in Lake Champlain...Very Nice boat!
In 2007 I bought an S2 9.2c that was a disaster and set about restoring it over the next 6 months. Tuned out very nicely and sailed well, but a little tender due to the center cockpit. Great aft cabin and built like a tank.

The answer to the quiz. I would say it is great place to mount our laptop unit and video camera..Cheers.Have a nice day
God bless
That’s a whole lotta little boat!!! Very nice!!!
I agree with the radio direction finder to be used on the shelf, we used one until the mid 80’s then turned to the loran C
Yet another great episode 👍. Always informative and entertaining.

Just bought a 8.6 s2 love these boats.
Clean boat. Looked nice and dry below too.
The tray was either for navigation equipment. Or a serving tray
What a beautiful boat ⛵ love for that to be my first big boat one day!
Cruising on a budget love it Captain Q
Great boat! Great episode! Thanks for posting!

Impressive boat thank you. His boat has homelike qualities rendering a comfortable week aboard. Would say the shelf holds radar. Only required in the fog.

I bet the shelf was for a small tv. It is a good place under the dodger which kept it in the shade so the screen would be visible in the daylight. I had something similar on my sailboat and used to have it on sailing Sundays during football season.
A sponsor? This channel has arrived!
I always liked the 35 s-2 pilot house … great boats
Nice boat! Love the design and layout.
Great PHRF boat on the Great Lakes.

Don’t forget the Dinty Moore too hahaha. Makes great Christmas gifts. Thanks for watching
The device in the companionway is a frame to hold electronics, maybe an old depth sounder
Shelf is for an electronic bit uhhh radio or old style depth sounder the old kind a big one with the spinner dial......

Thursdays take on a whole new significance. UA-cam grandpa is our sailboat Google.
Just received my Captain Q decal in the mail today!!!
Thank you for wdtching
It’s actually CNG compressed natural gas not LNG. LNG is cryogenic.
G`day Captain and Ran-day well you guys have found another little gem, I love it!!! so well thought out, this is a BIg , little yacht, what a fantastic vessel to get someone with small family into the life of sailing/cruising. For this price I would buy it in heart beat, few things I`m not real keen on the carpet on walls and head liner , hard to see water coming into the yacht with that stuff, If it was mine I`d pull that out ,insulate it and paint it.

I believe that thing is to hold RDF for electronic navigation back in the day. If remove it and put my VHF there.
Varnish all the interior wood along with removing that carpet and adding insulation and some nice wood or beadboard
Love that boat. If it was in my area it would be mine.
Leon always made good boats. We have several smaller retractable keel S2s in our NNYC fleet.
Umm... 'retractable keel' equals 'centerboard'?

I love that boat back in 1994 I sailed on a boat just like that one
Shadowfax was her name out of Newburyport the bottom was faired like glass it beat the other boat I sailed on a Frers 33 at the time they needed 1more crew to make it even so I went on board nice sail
that name rings a bell... perhaps we crossed paths with Shadowfax in the Smuttynose Regatta or other GMORA races...
sweet boat!
