Do you ever come across abandoned boats that could be brought back to life with sweat equity and limited money? I’m a construction worker and millwright of 17 years that gets a couple months off a year. I’d love to find decent projects that I could work on and bring back to life but have no idea where to start looking. Coming from poverty myself it would be nice to bring the freedom and self reliance of sailing to people that I know that would never be able to afford it in a sellers market.
Love the giggle from Randay after he says ‘it’s like it’s new’ in the product placement - you guys are clearly having a lot of fun making these and it’s great to watch.
Once again I awaited this week's episode with baited breath and Captain Q hits another home run. Love the keel and cockpit on her and would be a treat to see her sail offshore. You definitely have an eye for the classics. Thanks again for a great tour. Next up, a gaff rigged schooner. That would be something to see.
Just dig the jazz music intro. Cap’n Q and Ran Day are some Cool Kats …… and just so dern knowledgeable on sailboats!!! And quite the pitch men also ….. things looking up for the dynamic duo!!!!
This is the first episode that features a land yacht and a boat! Love the cape dory! Owned a CD 25d in the past. Great history with the typhoon a very pretty day sailors. The great thing about your show is that it is at the heart of New England sailors. Cheers to you both.
I am so happy that I have subscribed to this channel!!! You are making people realize that one does not have to have untold wealth to own a boat and travel. Just a told amount of wealth. To be honest though.....it is truly nice to know that dreams are affordable. Thank you so much!!!
So more headroom when we move from 37' to 40' - the pattern holds. It seems then that tall people - say 6;4" and taller - need even longer monohulls (or cats?) - perhaps 45'?
I’ve found in my looking that Hunter seems to cater to we vertically blessed few… I’m 6’3” and Hunter repeatedly seems to accommodate my size (from the stats and various sailing channels, not personal experience).
By far my favorite boat tour channel! Absolutely love the family sized boats, but more than that, I love how yall always cover information about the keel, even when its already in the water. Lots of other channels don't do this and it is such an important part of showing off a nice cruiser.
This looks like the boat for me. That bottom and keel is just right. Lots to love here. What I love about these is seeing just how many small run, non factory boats are out there.
This is a lovely boat, and worth the premium over an older sistership built at the Cape Dory yard. Carl Alberg's Cape Dory designs were great. But I will stick with my 55 year old Whitby Alberg 30 which is paid for, and I can handle and maintain by myself. A decent Alberg 30 can be had for $7-8K - but you won't find one that is only 25 years old!
Very nice boat, and survey pending I think it's a fair price in the current market. The V-berth has one issue: As a couple, the person on the outside will have to climb over the person on the center if they have to do business at night. Beyond that, really lovely boat.
Thank you so much for your presentations. Very educational and entertaining. I'm just beginning my search for the boat I plan to use for my adventure of a life time! I may be a grand father but life is not a number but what you make it! Here is one for the young at heart!!
Another great boat - Love having somewhere to hang your foulies at the bottom of the companion way. No idea why all boats don't do this, well non-dayboats at least.
I swear you get a much better deal in the USA than here in the UK 🇬🇧 I’v said before I’d definitely go across the pond to buy a bigger boat. And I like the fact most have AC built in from new something we don’t get here on older boats. Keep up the good work
could this be the one! maybe?... perfect basics (w/room for necessary provisions and celebration drink etc.) and so well cared for by its owners!... howeverr Sea Dog must weigh in before any well thought out decisions can be made!
Just found your channel. Loved the Cape Dory piece. I am the original owner of a (fully restored) Cape Dory 10 (hull 444), and the first (in restoration) Cape Dory 24 trawler (hull 001). Great to see appreciation for the brand.
I second the Gaff Rigged Schooner comment below! My favorite never to be afforded sailing vessel especially in the wooden variety. You're in the right quadrant to find one...
Looks like it has been very well loved and cared for by the Two previous owners, as for the price it seems on the money due to the well maintained and presented aspect of same, which is there in the Clip, looks very dry and has great lines and a well thought out functional design for comfortable for blue water cruising what with a good survey one would reckon with a small shake down trip one would get a handle as to where the buyer would be , don't think it will be on the market Long, looks a great solid craft...Great Upload.. Captain Q...
I love this boat. I'd like a second head and a little more space around the engine and a sail locker, so maybe 5ft more overall. Otherwise this boat is ideal.
G`day captain and Ran-day, This is a beautiful yacht, excellent condition clean as a whistle. New yanmar diesel motor and plenty of quality electrics and modern instruments and gauges. But no sea dog ?? probably to nice to let him run around or he got jealous cause you where cleaning the cat hahaha. If I was looking for a floating hotel this is your puppy. I think that compartment before the companionway is an cool box for your cold ones. Would love to see you guy`s rig one up one episode and show us your sailing skills captain maybe a tutorial how to raise your Main and staysail from a pro .I love this yacht and love you guys, see you next week.
Hi guys, terrific episode as always and wow what a boat. Interestingly, I've seen the number 333 almost every day since 1993 when I moved from Maine to San Diego.. There it is again on your Maine license plate, incredibly with "SD" which I always interpret as yup, San Diego. Wow.
This boat and the one from episode 29 are beautiful Yachts without a doubt However they're a little too much for my wallet and I see this kind of beauty in the boats you show for far cheaper just need to be shown some love
Boat looks nice very well kept a little high on the price tag but I don't think about fiberglass boats that much my friend Joe spent a little time with Carl so from what I know about designs and builds you named a great designer and a ultimate builder
... a "saloon" has a bar and maybe a piano w/ dancing girls ... YeeHaa A "salon" is an area on a boat for lounging, eating, etc down below usually ... or at least undercover ...
Capt Q is a pleasure to watch and listen to along with Ran-Day .....that is a lot of boat for this single man.....clean diesel wow....nice head..and a great master cabin I like the seat in there would be very useful for quiet solo reading too...crew uses the Fantail on this one for their bathroom duties or a bucket on deck.....why...because the Pirate Captain of old times started a great tradition...lol.....Thanks guys for the look sea....Oh , I wanted to ask what was the width on that Capt Q measuring system again ? hehehehehehe.....
That compartment in the companionway: I would put a super muffler in there, or I'd store a gas can (as well as those tools). The gas can can thus be kept hidden away, not hanging off the back or in the sail locker, but not somewhere that fumes will leak into the cabin.
If you could move that exhaust riser I would make that space a refrigerated can cooler! and if it is cold enough you can cool your can while sitting on the lid?
Is it bad luck to rename a boat? I'm always curious what people have named their boats and why. Maybe you could touch on that. Love your videos! Keep them coming!
hello Steve, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
Ahoi Captain Q and Randy! I're really enjoyed watching this new episode and liked it as all the previous ones. Also, I do love your focus on such yachts that would match us down-to-earth-folks' taste... so to speak. As I told you once before, some while ago, I'm still not quite sure on what sort of vessel to buy. Fortunaltely I'm not in any hurry. The ideal would perhaps be a boat that can be operated single handedly, whether for sailing or being run on motor, that can fall dry, and easily can sleep up to 8... and be comfy enough for serving as a part-time liveaboard. Do I ask or expect too much? - Most recently I stumbled over Dutch Tjalks, boats with a flat bottom and swivelling side keels. Question. Do you have such or similar boats in your region, and would you love to make a tour on such a classic, provided you found one over there?
I couldn't quite see. Were the various cleaning products Dinty More?........No sorry I meant Un-Duz-It-Protect??........Truly hope your next sponsorship is Freixenet..........Cheers.......... ( And love the boat )........ : )
Another gem! The only thing better than a Thursday night with you is if Warren Buffet were to adopt me. Then me boys … off to shopping we go … Cape Dory … Meh! Well done boys, we’ll done, thank you …
thank you... no, with the proper rigging and controls leading back to the cockpit (and also an auto-pilot) you'd be able to single-hand it. also the self-tacking jib really does make single handing quite a bit easier
Neat boat. If you et the chance could you please do a review of a Nordhavn 56 motorsailer? I really think that could be my next boat and would love to know what you think of them.
